The Local Option meeting III Union
Hall, this town, on Wednesday evening
last, was Il grand success. Convincing and
eloquent speeches We're made 10y Rev. j. Fl.
Robinson, of Port Deposit, Mr.. H. ID. Ruff
fin, of North East, and Rev. j. II. Manley,
of Elkton. The colore, vote is solid for
Local Option in Cecil county.
Col Fred Grant arrived in town, Ivy the
Q p. NJ. train. on Thursday night, from
Washington, Oh Il visit Ia the Hon. John \.
j. Creswel. At the time of his arrival,
Mr.. CreSwel had not returned home from
New York State, where he has been the
present week. He arrived the next day,
however, yesterday in the afternoon
train.
Justice Foard had his hands full on Sat
urday. In addition to 4 number of minor
cases. he had before him Il couple of com
batauts who had INDUCED i'll u set-uo i'll
Leiberman's clothing store. One of them
tried the relative hardness of the head OF
his opponent and Il clothes brush, which
operation was not relished by the other, and
he took him to the Justice. He was advised
by the Justice either to go to Jail or furnish
$50 security for his appearance at court,
which latter he did. 4
The Elkton Band, under the leadership
of Harry McCrone, is making rapid strides
towards proficiency in the use of their in
struments: although Mr.. Nee, has been
with them but a month or two, a decidedly
noticeable change for the better is observable
in their playing. He is good musician,
fond of the art and very energetic, pushing
the members up to their work whenever
needed. We predict that if he remains
with them that the band will soon rank
among the best in the State.
Great Improvements are being made at
Providence mills. Mr.. Singerly, the owner
has in course of erection and contemplation
some fifteen very pretty and commodiouS
tenant houses, built in the cottage style.
He is also getting ready to build upon the
wharf property recently purchased by him,
a large warehouse, office and other build
inss necessary for the convenience of his
mills. Mr.. s., being an energetic man OF
large means is doing good work for our town
and vicinity, all of which is appreciated by
our citizens.
The concert by the g Baltimore Phil
harmonic club," at Odd Fellows Hall, on
Monday night, was Il great success so far as
the character of the performance went, but
lacked an audience. Some of the perform
ers were of class far superior to the usual
character of concert singers heard in count
ry towns. Notable among these was Miss
Handy, she being the owner of one of the
best soprano voices we ever heard. Our
white citizens did not recognize the enter
tainment at all and the only patronage re-
ceived was from the colored people.

LETTER FROM CONNECTICUT.

NORWICH, Oct. "a, 1880.
Mr. EDIToR:-Being native of old
Cecil county, | feel an interest in her at
this time, and | trust every Republican
is at work trying to do his dnty. | feel
confident if they will come ont on the
End of November. that the cause of right
and justice may yet prevail i'll noble old
Cecil. You can say to the Republicans
of Cecil that Connecticut is working as
she has never worked before. The whole
State is now one blaze OF excitement from
one end of it to the other. We have in
own goodly city two to three political
parades week. with from 800 to 500
torches in line. and on the 2nd of Novem-
Der we will roll up majority of 800, and
in the State majority of not less than
5000. We people of Connecticut are not
ready to put the power i'll the hands of
such men as Hampton. | heard Demo-
crat say last night that if the Democrats
received 1870 electoral votes. they would
seat Hancock Such is the revolutionary
temper of this party we have to fight.
With wishes for the success of the only
party that it is safe at the present time
to put the power in the hands of am,
very respectfully yours, E. r. r.

pearance Local Prohibition enables their
parents to clothe and send them.
The taxpayer ought to vote against
license, because it increases crime. and
crime increases taxes. Local Prohibi-

The lover of humanity ought to vote

The drunkard ought to vote against

his son growing up to be a sober man.
Local Prohibition puts the chances i'll

license makes it possible that his daugh-

Every thoughtful person out to vote
against license, because it impoverishes
many to enrich one. Local Prohibition
enriches many and impoverishes none.
Every citizen should vote against Ii

The rumseller ought to vote against
license, because it is against his soul :

Every vster should cast his ballot

"A Wandering Cabinet Officer.

On Monday morning last, as Private De-
tective Janney was standing at his door, OIL
Bow street, a addressed, respectable look
ing man approached him and made some
inquiries. Mr.. j. soon discovered that the
man was crazy and questioned him as to
his identity. He said he was from New
Jersey, and had come to Elkton to take
editorial charge of The Democrat, or the
place of the Methodist preacher here until
after the election, when he expected to take
a position in Hancock's cabinet, who he
was sure his vote would elect. He further
said that he had no confidence in Hancock,
but thought that if he was in the cabinet
he could keep him straight. He said his
name was Benz. b. Leeds, u relative of En-
Sheriff Leeds, of Philadelphia, and that he
came from Morristown, y. }. Mr. .Janney
telesraphed to S. l.. Allen, of that place
whose name he found on 4 paper in the
possession of the wanderer and soon after
wards received a dispatch asking him to
hold the man until he-Ailen, his brother
in-law-could come after him. BY this

lodged him in Jail. On Thursday, Mr..
Allen and another gentleman came to Elk
ton and identified the man as benjamin Is.
Leeds, and represented him as Il farmer
living near Morristown, \. j., in good cir
cumstances and having a wife and family.
He has for 4 number of years been subject

time been an inmate of an asylum and had

Elkton and Middletown Railroad.

We learn from one of the corporators Of
the Elkton and Middletown railroad that
when twenty thousand (30,00O dollars,
600 shares of stock, are subscribed for in
Delaware and the Eastern Shore counties of
Maryland, additional subscription sufficient
to build the road are offered elsewhere.
This road, when built, will afford the farm
ers of Delaware and the Eastern Shore
counties of Maryland a choice of markets,
both Winter and Summer, for their produce,
and easy access to those who visit Baltimore,
Washington and Annapolis especially dur
ing the Winter season. If the farmers and
others of the Eastern Shore look to their
own interest they will surely not hesitate to
subscribe this small amount at once.

Sudden Death.

We are panied TO have to announce the
death of Mrs Millnor, mother of Mrs. Cas-
par w. Morris, of this town, well known to
our citizens. She died suddenly-of heart
disease-;t her home in Burlington, y. j.,
on Wednesday last. Major. G. w. Morris
left here for Burlington, on Tuesday, for
the purpose of accompanying Mrs. Millnor
to Elkton, where she expected to remain for
some time on a visit to her daughter. They
had arranged to start for Elkton yesterday
or to-day, but death interviewed, and, in
stead of she coming, the notice of her de-
cease was received. Mrs. NJ. is of an old
and aristocratic family of the section in
which she resided, and her remains will of
inferred there to-day.
