A Strange Character.

A good natured portly man apparently
about forty or forty-tive years of age, calling
himself Thomas NJ. Henan, came to Elkton
from Wilmington, last Saturday morning,
and stopped at the FELTON, House, where he
engaged boarding for week. He repre-
sented that he was n stencil cutter and en-
graver and started to canvass the town for
work in his line, but unfortunately got
drunk, in which condition he appeared at
the depot on Sunday evening, when the
night operator and Adams Express agent,
fearing he would be killed by passing
train, took him to jail, in order to prevent Il
catastrophe of that kind. The Sheriff kept
him till Monday morning and as there was
no charge preferred against him, let him go.
But failing to profit by his experience Of the
night before, he went to n saloon in the
Hollow and commenced drinking again,
and being found drunk and disorderly by
the Railiff, that officer arrested him, and
Justice Lewis committed him to Jail for Il
hearing, which was had on Wednesday
morning. The strangest part of the matter
was that he had large sum of money with
him, amounting to $3.50, part of which he
left in his travelling bag in the hotel, but 4
considerable sum of which he took with
him and spent with prodigal liberality.-
When he became sober, he informed the
Sheriff that he had $1,000 deposited with
Drexel & Co., of Philadelphia, which, upon
subsequent inquiry, was found to be un,
true He also stated that he was formerly
of ST. Louis, No, and that he had studied
law with Judge Prim of that city, and had
practced that profession for four years
During his spree he lost about S13o Of the
money he had with him. The only wonder
is that he did not lose it all Justice Lewis
gave him hearing on Wednesday morning
and fined him 81 and costs, amounting tc
$3.50, which he paid with the the com
placency of an English nobleman, and was
DISCHARGED,

Attempt to Blow Open a Safe.

On Monday night last bold attempt was
made to blow open and rob the safe of the
Baltimore Central Railroad Company in this
Borough. The work appears to have been
done by professionals. The entrance to the
depot was effected by prying open the shut
ters of the ladies' room, on the platform
side, and entering the office through one of
the ticket windows. The attempt to blow
open the safe was made by using putty to
fill up the crack between the edges of the
doors and pouring in powder. A fuse fired
the charge but it fortunately proved unsuc
cessful and the burglars retired without
making second attempt. When Mr.. Rol-
lins, the agent, opened the safe on Tuesday
morning he found the papers badly scorched
and the whole inside of the safe begrimed
with powder. Suspicious looking parties
We're seen in Oxford on Monday, but no
clew has yet been discovered to lead to the
capture of the robbers.-OIJord Press.

with which it was infested, and shortly
after the rose was swallowed. Mrs Shure

POLITICS AND RELIGION
seem to be the principal topics of interest
in our midst at the present time. After
careful canvass of the village. it has
been ascertained that a majority of those
who have become bald and grey from aye
experience are of the Republican creed
in politics, and as far as their religious
welfare is concerned, believe the Bible,
which is the only safe guide to live and
die by, notwithstanding all arguments to
the contrary.
THE FAIR AND FESTIVAL
at the Ebenezer NJ. Z. Church, on last
Friday and Saturday evenings, was a
success as far as the articles on hand for
sale was concerned, there being some left
over.
A FUNERAL. LARGELY ATTENDED.
The funeral of Miss Emma Chamber
lain, of our village, i'll the early part of
last week, was one of the largest that
has taken place from here for a number
of years. The young lady had many
friends who sincerely mourn her loss.

September, small boys hats and little

ENIIAUsTING THEIR INVENTIVE GENIUS.
Our machinists are exhausting their
genius to invent 4 tunnel plow for the
benefit of one of our dissatisfied agricul-
turists, that he may be enabled to work
his corn under the roots. If the gentle
man would train his corn to grow the
other way. he might work the roots at
will and the owners of rice fields ON the
other side would not quarrel about the
tops coming through.
