Prairie dogs who live far away from any
river or stream obtain drink from wells dug
by themselves that have concealed openings
No matter what the depth the dogs will keep
digging until they reach water. A frontiers
man named Leech, formerly of Mercer
County, Pennsylvania, says he knows of one
such well 200 feet deep, and having cir
cular staircase leading down to the water
Every time dog wants drink he descends
this staircase, which, considering the dis

lawn in front of the Rectory. The order of
exercises in the lawn was rs follows
Prayer by Rev. +. X. Miller Chaplain Of
the Post, and an old soldier, who carries
the sears of many battles on his person.
Singing of an appropriate ode by Il choir of
young ladies' Reading of Il patriotic ode,
appropriate to the occasion, by DIR. Brewer.
Music by the band and the choir. Presenta-
ton Of the flag purchased by the ladies' of

was responded to by DR.. Il. A. Worrall, in
an eloquent and feeling manner. This flag
is made of silk, and is very handsome.
II. c. Thackery, Esq, was then introduced
and made the Grafton of the day, which
was as eloquent as it was patriotic, and
was listened to by the large audience with
marked attention. At the conclusion of
Mr.. Thackerys Grafton, the procession re-
formed and marched to the old cemetery,
where the members of Wingate Post, as
sisted by the Red Men and Mechanics, dec

A New Railroad.

1t is reported that the p, w. X b. Rail
road dcompany contemplate buildinga branch
road from this place along the valley of the
Little Elk as far as Providence paper mill,
about seven miles north of Elkton which
has recently been purchased, and is now
being put in complete order by the proprie-
tors of the Philadelphia Record for the pur-
pose of manufacturing the paper upon which
that journal will be printed. The new road
if built, will pass near Marley and Cecil
paper mills, and will probably ultimately be
extended to Oxford. 1t is believed that q.
w. Childs, Esq, of the Philadelphia Ledger,
who is largely interested in the Marley mill,
as we'll as Mr.. l. ID. Carter, the proprietor
of Cecil mill, and the proprietors of Provi-
dence mill, will subscribe largely to the
stock of the new road, as it will be of
great advantage to each of them in the
transportation of stock to and from their
mills.
Mr.. Edward Larkin, of the p, W. Il B.
Railroad, came to Elkton on Thursday, and
in company with Mr. Harry Carter, the
superintendent of Marley MILL and Mr..
Lovejoy, the manager of Providence mill,
passed over the route of the proposed road.
Should he make Il favorable report, the pre-
liminary survey will probably be made in a
short time.

Death of MISS Mary E. Chamberlain

No recent death has cast such gloom
over this community as that of Miss Mary
Emma Chamberlaine, which occurred at the
residence of w. I. Brickley, ESD, on Sab
bath morning, May 23rd. At the death OF
her mother, some five or six years ago, she
was taken into Mr. Brickleys family, and
because of her amiable and social qualities
and sweetness of disposition had not only
endeared herself to his family, but to a
large circle of acquaintances. She had
been sick only two days, and her death was
unexpected and therefore all the more sad
and to no one more so than the young man
to whom she was engaged to be married in
Il few months. Her remains were inferred
in Hopewell cemetery. The funeral, which
took place on Tuesday, 25th ult., was one OF
the largest known in this community for Il
great while. The services, conducted by
Rev. A. ID. Davis, assisted by Rev. Wm
Brickley and VIM. Way, of the Friends
Society, We're very solemn and impressive
and it was an occasion that will doubtless
never be forgotten by many that We're pres

tinctly dissent. \ day Of weeping is not
the highest tribute to the dead heroes.
To recall merely their dcaJ.: il, not to pay
them the honor their memory deserves.
The remembrance of the patriotism which
animated them and the celebration of
their brave devotion to their country are
essential to any befitting observance of
Decoration Day. And these exercises
inevitably stir patriotic enthusiasm in
the nations heart, and with reverent
respect for the dead and regret for their
loss are mingled such feelings of admira-
tion for the spirit which led them to fight
their country's battles as are not improp-
erly expressed by the elaborate parade
and 4 demonstration of patriotic enthu-
siaSm. AS the martyr President said at
Gettysburg, it is ours to catch the spirit
and take up the work of the fallen he
roes, and in bestrewing their graves with
flowers we are to remember that we are
glorying in the heroism OF patriots, more
oiith be,ibS lhC UOiilDS vi VIZ
tins of misfortune. AS the blood tingles
at the recital of the heroic deeds of our
Revolutionary Fathers, so the recollec-
tion of the bravery of our soldier dead
thrills every patriotic heart. Decoration
Day should not be wholly melancholy
day. Whatever is consonant with lofty
patriotism is befitting in its observance,
and to glory in the heroism of the soldier
dead is to pay their memory the highest
tribute.

Census Troubles,

\ Shrewd railway conductor, who under
stands the temptation Of passengers to lie
about the ages of their children in order to
obtain halt-tare passage for them, says: 81
never ask the age of children: | look at 'ern
and fix the fare by guessing" Unless the
census takers wish to become responsible
for a terrific amount of lying, they will dc
well when ipterrogating tho female part OF
the population tn adopt the policy of ''lnok-
ing at EN-" and omit inquiries as to the
age of the fair ones whom no consideration
can induce to admit that they are also forty.
In fact, the females of the nation are con.
vinced that this census taking has been III
vented for the express purpose of compell-
ing them TO tell their ages, and they are re-
solved not to do it. Besides, q woman OF
forty considers it no lie ta say she is twenty
seven, for has she nat been twenty -seve,
these thirteen yeaFs3 IT the census takers
persist In asking women their ages, and
write down the replies as given, it is evi,
dent that the twenty million adult females
of the United States will he shown to have
attained but about half the average age OF
the eighteen million adult males, and tha,
will be propf that there is saneMLare lii the
NgUres !, very big lie. The census takers
nuity during the next two weeks, but theil
chief perpexity will be how to obtain ages
correctly without encouraging lying.

CLIMATE AND COMPLEXION.

There is great diversity of opinion rs
to the reason of the differences of COM
plexion to be observed among mankind.
Roughly speaking, the hue Of the skin
varies with the latitude. the fairer races
having their homes at a distance from the
equator; the darker within or near the
tropics. This fact would seem to point to
the position of the sun with reference to
those on whom he shines as the cause
But the question presents difficulties
which this supposition does not aid us to
solve. At the same distance from the
equator we find the fair Englishman, the
yellow Mongol and the copper -colored In
dian.
TO the north of the white Russian and
Finn live the swarthy Lapp and Samoyed.
North of the Caucasus are dark-skinned
Tartars, south Of it fair complexioned
Circassians. The Aborigines of Ameri-
ca vary less in color than the natives of
the Old World. None of them are as
fair as the Swede, none as black as the
negro of Congo, and those living in
Brazil on the equator are not the dark
est. There are blacker men in Australia
and New Guinea than in Borneo and
Sumatra, though these islands are on the
equator and those are not. Shillool1s of
the Upper Nile, who live about ten de-
grees north latitude, are blacker than the
Monbuttoo, who are six degrees farther
south.

A Diabolical Outrage.

On Friday evening of last week, some
tiend in human form placed a large, new,
white oak sleeper in the cattle guard at the
Blue Ball crossing, a short distance below
the Elkton depot, with the intention of
throwing the 8 o'clock train off the track.
Fortunately the diabolical work was done
in such bungling manner that when the
cow-catcher of the engine struck the sleeper
it forced it from the hole and carried it
some distance along the track, where it was
dropped between the rails, the train passing
over it without injury. Some years ago,
several attempts were made near this point
to throw trains from the track by placing
Instructions on it, none of which, however,
were successful. 1t would be well for those
who engage in this tiendish business to re-
member that the penalty for placing OBJ
structions on railroad tracks in this State is
not less than two nor more than ten years
in the penitentiary. If any one is killed in
this manner the party convicted of causing
their death shall be considered guilty OF
murder and be punished accordingly.
The Cecil Whig., 1880-06-05
Salt as a Great Remedy.

In many Cases of disordered stomach, y
teaspoonful of salt is 4 certain cure. In the
violent internal aching, termed collie, add Il
teaspoonful of salt to a pint of cold water,
drink it and go to bed; it is one of the speedi-
est and best remedies known. The same
will revive person who seems almost dead
from receiving a fall, etc. In an apoplectic
fit, no time should be lost in pouring down
salt water, if sufficient sensibility remains
to allow of swallowing it; if not, the head
must be spenged with cold water until the
senses return, when salt will completely re-
fit, the feet should be placed in warm water
with mustard added and legs brisllly rubbed,
all bandages removed from the neck, and Il
cool apartment procured if possible. In
many cases of bleeding at the lungs, when
other remedies failed, DR.. Rush found that
two teaspoonfuls of salt completely stayed
the blood. In the case of bite of n mad
dog, wash the part with a strong brine for
an hour; then bind ON some salt with u rag.
In tooth ache, warm salt water held to the
relieve in most cases. If the teeth be COW
cred with tartar, wash twice n day with
salt and water. In swelled neck, wash the
part with brine, and drink twice = day
also, until cured. Salt will expel worms,
if used in food in moderate degree, and
aid digestion, but salt meat is injurious il
used too much.

In connection with the usual services upon
such occasions. the Robert Raiilrs Cen
tennial will also be celebrated The Rev.
j. NJ Williams, of the Wesleyan Female
College will preach in the morning, and
addresses will be delivered in the evening
by George A. Blake, Esq, Rev. MIR. Viii

supervision of the choir, assisted by the
children of the Sabbath school,
On Friday of last week, Back Creek and
Elk Necks We're visited by 4 thunder shower
accompanied by lightning and a high wind,
which did much damage to the orchards
and fencing in the first named locality, and
in the latter was especially severe in the
vicinity of Alexander Rutter's and John
Brckley's farms, blowing down the barn
belonging to Mr.. Rutter and unrooting the
one of Mr.. Brickley's, and iniuring the
growing crops, fences and forests badly
During the storm the lightning struck a
herd of swine belonging to James Cogue,
near Henderson's Point, and killed four and
crippled one of them.

"a Sort of Nigger Feeling" "

Ever since the enfranchisement of the col
ored man the Democratic newspapers have
never lost an opportunity to excite all pos
sible prejudice against him by the unwor-
thieSt appeals to the ignorance and passion
of those whom the accident of birth has not
Every thing has been said, that could be
said calculated to excite and cherish ill
feeling against the colored man, simply be-
cause he enjoys the right of suffrage, and,
knowing who his true friends are, votes
with the Republicans. After every primary

slush about "money at the polls, the
negro holding the balance of power in the
county," and such other political froth rs

matter of personal respectabihty are fear
fully pretentious, forget all their acquire
ment or professions when appealing to the
Bourbon groundlings or harping on the
"nigger." A little incident that occurred
in Elkton very recently forcibly illustrates
the result of such teaching, and demon
strates the character of the prejudice which
it fosters and excites. A civil and respect
able colored man, a taxpayer in the couE-
ty, and man generally respected for So
briefly and honesty, had business at Il GER
tain blacksmith shop. Entering the shop,
he was rudely accosted by swell Bourbon,
who happened to be present.
"You're the niger preacher, amt you "''
"No," replied the colored man civilly:
60 am not a preacher, sir
"Well, you're nigger, anyway" was
the insulting rejoinder.
"Now, sir, said the colored man, remon-
stratingly, "if l were to call you by that
name, You wouldn't like it, would you"?"
"No," replied the Bourbon bully, 81

"Oh, yes was the defiant reply, "you

The incident bears it's own moral.
