Equine Friendship.

Last Tuesday night, some person entered
the lawn in front of the residence of Daniel
Bratton, ESP, on the old Elllton and Chris
tiana turnpike, and rode away one of two
horses that We're allowed to craze in the
lawn and in an adjoining lot, Tho horses
We're nissGd early tho next morning, and
the lawn gate being open, an examination
showed that the animals had gone east
ward. They We're subsequently tracked to
Smalley's mill, near Christian village, where
they We're found grazing by the roadside
Some person stole IL line from a carriage
which was hitched in town the saG;e night,
which is supposed to have been used for a
liridle Whether the intention to steal the
horse that was rode away, was frustrated
by the other horse being so much attached
to it that it followed it away, or whether it
was only the intention of tho H,afauder TO
obtain ride. will probably never he known,
hut Mr.. liratton is Of the opinion that he
owes the possession of one of the animals to
the friendship which existed between them.

l have mentioned Mary, who was the vic
tim of old Milly Bristoe. Besides her was
/ Rachel, of whom | love to think and write.
She was one of the leading ladies of fashion
and gayety of Cecil county; very gay and
fond of dress. But at a camp meeting she
was induced to surrender the citadel of her
heart 1" the Lord. How changed She be-
came. From the leader of fashion and gay
ETY. she became like the Saviour, meek and
| lowly of heart; worked very faithfully
among the poor and humble, and finally
died in the cause of Christ. Mary died the
victim of Il hellish woman. Ann Burlison
Howard, the youngest of the family, was
Il very pretty, sweet, intelligent woman,
who became the wife of my eldest brother
Samuel {. Sample, and is now and has
been for years Il widow. \ picture Of her
hangs in my room. She is about my age,
say about Seventy-nine, and living with
one of her understanding for the COM
ing of the Lord.
With George Ricketts,, the saddler, | was
well acquainted, and also his wife. Ricketts,
lived in Il very nice brick house, opposite
the old stone house where Col. Whann used
to keep. The house stood on the brow of
that hill spoken of so often.
" Free trade and sailors rights" was the
battle cry in the war of 1872, for England
had the temerity to say that we had no
tribute to her. This we denied, and con-
clud-d to settle the question by wager of
war, and we went ut it with the above
battle cry and the battle of Lake Erie was
upon that issue. After Perry's victory, our
folks at Elkton made great preparations for
an on roasted whole, and all favorable to
our side joined in the ovation. a day was
appointed and Il fine fat OK was procured
and decorated with flags and ribbons. and

claim the supremacy of the ocean? She
held no patent for the seas which God had
made for the benefit of the world. 1t was
great principle which was at stake and
we fought it out and settled the question
for all time. I remember how my young
blood was stirred upon that occasion. l

Down the Bay Again.

Don't forget the Changers excursion from
ClayS Landing TO Colchester and Annapo-
lis, next Thursday, on the magnificent
steamer Report. This will probably be the
last excursion this season from Elk River
to those places, and as the Changers never
leave anything undone that will add to the
pleasure of their excursions, Il pleasant
time may be expected. Those who have
never visited the capital of the State should
by all means avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to do so. Ii is full of quaint old
buildings, many Of which were erected Il
century and half ago, when the then
youthful city by the Severn was the Paris
of America. The pleasure derived from an
inspection of the United States Naval Acad-
envy and the old State House alone will am
ply repay the cost of the visit.
Provision for the accommodation of horses
has been made at the Landing, and also for
the transportation of persons in boats from
Elkton to and from the same place.

A Narrow Escape.

Yesterday, while Drs. Fl. c. Register and
Jas. II. Frazer We're examining the effects
of the late Mrs. Susan b. Register, they
came across an old-fashioned Sharp's pistol,
which DR.. Register accidentally discharged
while handling. The ball struck the third
finger of DR.. Frazer's hand, intiicting a
painful wound. DIR. Frazer was examining
bundle of papers at the time of the acct
dent, which he held in front of his person
and had not the ball been diverted from its
course by striking his finger, it would no
doubt have penetrated his person, probably
with a fatal result.
