ark, Delaware, drove over to Elkton on
Christmas day TO see the show, and, after
imbibing too freely of bcnzine, called 1t
the Howard House i'll the evening in a con
dIiion that pTecluded the possibility of
their driving back To Newark that night,
and the geutlemanly proprietor of the hotel
kindly permitted them to occupy \ dark
room in the rear OF his bar, which is stu
ated in the basement. The next morning,
early, mine host of the Howard House
quietly opened the door. and one of the
twain, who was awake, inquired where he
was. In Jail, said mine host. How did |
get here asked the stranger, trying to
raise a sickly and o-begone smile. No
matter how, replied the landlord as he
quickly left the room, shutting the door
with bang. About an hour afterwards
culored man employed about the hotel had
occasion to open the door, when the now
wide-awake stranger, who no doubt had
been meditatipg his escape, embraced the
opportunity and made a hasty exit up North
street. He was subsequently joined by his
companion, and the twain left the town
somewhat sad, aud probably much wiser
than when they entered 1t.
A mania for visiting Elkton appears to
have prevailed among some of the gentle
men OF Delaware this week, for another
one OF them, who was visiting his relatives
in the northeast part Of the county, drove

cial glass or two. he started up the New
ark road, intending 10 go to his relatives.
Some time about daylight, on Friday morn
ing, he found himself on the road near
New Leeds, minus his hat, whip and buff
falo robe. How he got there. he does not
know, but he has distinct recollection Of
crossing the bridge over the Big Elk creek
between Elkton and the Westamwcll iron
works. When he became conscious, he
made Decline for Elkton and procured a
new hat, and left Elkton again by the same
road he travelled some eight or ten hours
before, and is supposed to have safely
reached his friends. The buffalo robe and
hat were found by Young man of this
town, who returned them to the owner.

CLUSTERING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.


y SCHEME THAT DIP NOT SUCCEED.
The csculent bivalves that abound in
the Chesapeake Bay are not celebrated for
their superior powers of locnmntion. but
sometimes they are hard To catch-para-
doXicai as It may sceni--cven after they
have been caught, As the following narIa n
tive will show: On last Tuesday morning
AN eutorprising professional gentleman
from the village of North East, accom-
panied by a bear-eyed youth from the
same place. visited EIktou. The morning
was cold and either because they were
Thirsty, or bent upon having "hIsh old
time" which VI the two doth not fully APP
pear, the twain imbibed freely al ;angle-
foot whisky, which, while it may have
somewhat quenched their thirst, sharpeued
up their appetites. They had, no doubt,
heard of the superior quality and flavor of
the esculeut b!valvcs that can easily be Oh
tanned in Eikton, and So they slipped into
the oyster saloon of Mrs. Price, on Main
street, and ordered generous supply, with
which they appeased the cravings of their
appetites. The professional man then said
~ his companion: You go out through
the front room Mrs. P.'s house has three
rooms on the first floor; the front one is
used As a confectionery, the one back of it
a. a saloon. and the one in the rear as a
kltchenl and tell the young lady i'll charge
that the man i'll the saloon will pay for the
oysters aud ! will slip out by the back door
and meet you in the street" This the
younger Of the twain proceeded to do
well as his inebriatcd condition would per-
nit. but when he reached the front room
the young lady i'll charge entered her pro-
test against him taking himself away till
the bill was lquidaled, and young man,
nephew of Ms. r., planted himself against
the door aud prevented his egrcss. The
professional man, in trying To make his
exit. mistook the cellar door for the one
leading 20 the back yard, and no sooner had
he sd il than Mis-. Price hastily closed
1t and turned the key. What may have
been the feeling Of the reckless man and
how his conscience may have lashed him
while exploring the subterranean part of
Mrs. P.'s establishment We shall never
know. 1t is TO he hoped. however, that
Ills repentance may have been of the right
kind and may he productive of good. a
messenger was dispatched for the Bailiff,
"ho presently appeared upon the scene and
! tie professional man was attracted from the
the ain 10 jail for obtaining goods under
false pretens.s, but in view of their inebri-
at.d condition, released them upon pay
nient of the value of the oysters. Moral:
