remember that the air of closed rooms is always
more or less bad. = =

for hours, breathing the same hir, might be com

in which they battle The patient must keep the
window of his bedroom open. Night air is fresh
air without daylight. In close crowded rooms,
the patient suffering from lung complaints
breathes consumptyely." By taking these pre-
cautions and using DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, fully
one.half of the cases of lung complaints would
be cured in six months. For coughs and irrita-

ACCIDENTS ON THE RoAD.-On Sunday
last thrilling runaway accident occurred in
Darlington, in which the participants had
narrow but Providential escape from sudden
death. Mr.. Albert Holloway, who lives a
short distance east of Darlington, was return
ing from Friends meeting at Darlington, in
ntwo horse carriage, driving pair OF spirited
horses. Besides hmselfthe carriage contain.
ed his mother his sister and Miss Cook, of
Lancaster county, Pa, While passing through
the lower end of the village some one drove
up behind Mr.. Holloway and his horses be.
came frightened and ran. Several carriages
were in front Mr. Holloway, 10 avoid run
ming into Mr.. r. NJ. Glmore's carriage, and
being unable to stop his horses, drew them
aside. At this instant one of the hind spin
dies broke, the carriage was dashed to pieces
on the spot, and the horses ran on with the
pole and front wheels. Miss Cook was buried
beneath the ruins and severely bruised. Mr..
and Mrs. Holloway were also hurt, but none
of the injuries were serious.
The horses ran on some distance with the
wheels and collided with the rear part of Mr..
Moores Worthingtons carriage, as that gen.
teman was about turning from the road
Mr.. Worthington's horses gave a sudden
plunge separating the entire running gear of
his carriage from the body, and the team ran
away. The occupants of this carriage were
Mr.. Worthington, his wife, Miss Matthews
and colored boy all of whom were thrown
out into the road. Mr.. Worthington received
an ugly cash over one of his eyes, but the
others were not hurt. Mr.. Worthngton's
horses ran hcme, distributing the running
gears in fragments along the road Mr.,
Holloway's horses kept on to Mrs. Jackson's,
and ran against htching post, where they
stopped
On Tuesday morning, while Rev. Francis
Fowler, pastor of st. Ignatius Church, was
driving along the road leading from the
Hickory to DOZENS Corner, one of the rear
spindles of his carriage broke, as he was de-
scending the hill near the latter point. The
horse became alarmed and dashed off in full
run, dragging the carriage on three wheels.
After running several hundred yards Mr..
Fowler succeeded in drawing him into a fence
corner and stopped him, without any injury
to himself or to the little boy who accom-.
panied him.

MUSICAL.
On Monday night last, the Hayes Quartette,
of Philadelphia, gave an entertainment for the
benefit of the Masonic Library The Opera
House was filled almost to overlooking with the
aristocracy and elite of our city. Their uni.
formity of movement and regularity of tone and
time, proved them to be talented and experienced
singers. Their programme was well selected and
well rendered. We hope our Home Talent"
who will sing on the 22d, will give us something
that we do not hear played on every hand organ.
Aud Lang Syne may do for some but we want
something of later issue, and we trust we will
not be disappointed.

nounce that Philip Philips will sing in the Union

THE RAILRoAD-On Saturday last Mr..
Cyrus Diller, with small number of hands,
made a commencement on the new railroad,
at CROSS Mill, near Forest Hill. In few
days shanties will erected at this point and
also on Mr.. J. j. Gladden's farm, near the
Rocks of Deer Creek, and probably rear
Bel Air, when large force will he set 10
work. Mr. Diller pays his hands from so
cents to 81 per day, and they board them
selves. They are required to commence
work at seven o'clock in the morning -
When the days grow little longer they
will begin their days work at six O'clock
The four miles of the road from the Great
Gnnpowder TO the commencement of
Messrs. Dilworth & Engler's contract,
and nine miles from The termination of
Mr.. OILERS contract TO Delta, have been let
to Messrs. Alfred Ray and James Forwood
They also expect to commence work very
soon. The entire road, from the Great Gun
powder to Delta, comprising all the work
previously let 10 John Haugh, is now under
contract, and will he pushed forward as
rapidly as the subscriptions are paid in Mr.
e. G. Price, the collector for the company,
reports that good feeling exists in relation
to the enterprise, along the entire route and
that subscriptions are being paid cheerfuly
The grading masonry and trestlc work can
all be completed within one year, if the sub
scribers pay up promptly, and in less than n
year thereafter the rais can he laid and the
cars run. The importance of prompt pay
ment ofthe amounts pledged for the road is
therefore obvious. The people of Hartford
and Baltimore counties have it now in their
power 10 secure the much-needcd railroad, if
they will only fulfill their pledges. The
board expect to he able in the near future 10
commence on the route from Baltimore to
the Gunpowder and to have the cars run
ming next summer.
