The Hagerstown Neps states that within the
past few days two children have been abduct-
ed in that neighborhood, but fortunately es-
capped. One, boy nine years of age, son of
Michael Tull, was forcibly carried off by a
woman while he was picking berries, and was
taken nearly to Williamsport where he made
his escape and reached home in an exhausted
condition. The other, boy nine years of
age, son of John Weller, of Funkslown, was
abducted on Sunday afternoon by a tramp.
The boy reached Hagerstown late on Sunday
night, having escaped from tramp camp,
and was taken care Of by the mayor.
From late decision in the case Of the State
vs. Timothy Shields by the Court of Appeals
defining the limits of the chill of exception, !"
would seem that this act was intended only
FOR the benefit Of the accused, although it is
expressly provided that the States Attorney
shall have the right to appeal If the prisoner
is convicted the States Attorney cannot APP
peal, for ii is his business to have the Court
pass judgment on the verdict as il stands re-
corded if the prisoner is acquitted accord
ing TO the decision just rendered) no appeal
can be entertained, because the prisoner can
plead the former acquittal in bar of second
trial. In other words, the Court of Appeals
cannot correct the mistakes of the Circuit
Courts when they are made against the State !;
it can only correct errors made against the
prisoner. This, no doubt, is good law, but 1t
does not seem to be exact justice.
Capt John Marshall, of Smiths Island has
certainly got curiosity in the poultry lne.-
II is no maformation of the chicken; it is
simply changed from hen to a rooster This
may seem an incredible story, but the afore-
said gentleman, together with his wife, both
highly respected in this section, win testify TO
the correctness of the statement. He says that
during the first year of the chickens existence
it laid eggs and Matched chickens, and acted
as other hens The second year it did the
same thing; but during the latter part of the
second year some change in its actions was
percepible, later on it crowed and ever since
has been developing more like rooster It
has now large comb and long spurs, and to
all intents aud purposes is rooster. This
chicken has not laid an egg since the second
year, and has not attempted TO "set' since
that time On the contrary it acts like
rooster, and assumes all the duties of o rooster
Capt Johnnie invites those who discredii his
story to call and see for themselves, and then

Train Wrecked.

The city was startled Sunday morning by
the announcement that a terrible accident had
occurred on the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore railroad resulting iu the loss OF
four lives. Geographic inquiries disclosed that

fireman, father and son, and two persons who
were stealing ride were killed. The confu-
sion which prevailed at the scene of the disas-
ter was such as it was difficult to obtain par
ticulars. Capt. VIM LOOMS, conductor of
the tain, arrived with the cars that were saw
ed and The passengers about o'clock, A. NJ.
For some reason he avoided an interview and
kept his presence ia the city secret until late
Sunday evening. He stated to Gazette re-
porter that the train was undoubtedly iuten-
iionally wrecked by some dabolical wretch,
who had placed an old cross-tie near the rail
IN such position as 10 throw the train from
the track, completely wrecking the engine,
baggage and express cars, but fortunately not
doing much injury to the passenger coaches
None OF the passengers were hurt.
