A Strange Adventure.

one evening last week IN industrious
farmer, residing act far from towantown,
after finishing his days work in the harvest
field, came to Eikton to transact some bust
ness that detained him until about eleven
O'Clock, when he mounted his trHstI stecd
aud starred zap the North street road on his
way home. Next morning, at sunrise, he
had failed to reach home, and great was the
agitation and anxiety of his wife and fami-
ly, who were much frightened at his alb
sence He had been harvesting for Il neigh
hor the dag bcloFe, and they thinking he
might haze g1pe tnGte rnstGad of returning
home, sent Il messenger to see If THIS theory
was true, but failed to Learn aught of the
missing man, ny this time the sun Was we'll
above the eastern horizon, and just as his
friends were about starting to hunt him up,
he much to their relief, put in an appear
ance, and proceeded to make the following
explanation: He said he left Elkton, as be-
fore stated, and had a distinct recollection
of crossing the railroad, but none whatever
of crossing the bridge over the Big Elk,
from which he inferred that he went TO
sleep before reaching it, Next morning, in
the early dawn, he found himselfin strange

The New Railroad.

+ Last Monday corps of engineers, under
the supervision of Edward Larkins, Esq,
of the p, w. & b. Railroad, commenced
the survey of the new railroad, which it is
expected will soon be built from Il point in
the valley of the Little Elk creek near the
Red mill to Providence paper mill, and will
probably be ultimately extended to Oxford.
The survey. we are informed, is being made
by the p, W. Il b. Railroad Company, and
it is rumored that stock to the amount Of
two hundred thousand dollars has already
been subscribed toward the construction of
the new road. The survey will probably be
completed next week, shortly after which the
estimated cost of the road can he aScertaincd,
and if the capitalists along the route of it
are disposed to push the matter to com pie
ton, the work will probably be put under
contract this fall. The road will be of great
advantage to the mills along the Little Elk,
and we hope to see it in operation ut no dis
tant day.

Capture Of a Murderer.

George Thomas the colored seaman who
recently murdered the captain and cook and
very nearly killed the mate of the schooner
i'll the James river, was arrested
last Saturday at Hayre de Grace, while try
ing to make his way to New York disguised
as n woman. Thomas boarded the train at
Middle River, about Is miles east Of Balti-
more and acted in such u manner as to ex-
cite the suspicion of Conductor Slater, who
telegraphed to Havre de Grace, and when
the train arrived there, the negro was ar
rested by an officer. lie was subsequently
identified by w. W. Selby, the mate of the
schooner WgnoHctte. whom he had assaulted
and nearly killed at the time he murdered
the captain and cook. He was committed
to Bel Air Jail to await Il reqnisition from
the Governor of Virginia. His motive for
the commission of the crime is believed to
be traceabe to the fact that he had shown a
mutinous disposition, and was fearful that
when the schooner arrived at Norfolk he
would be handed oyer to the authorities of
that city.

How to Make a Town Prosper.

The Hagerstown Mil of last week all
nounces the prospect of establishing in that
town 4 number of new manufacturing cS-
Establishments, among them I chair factory,
one of wagon materials, and an organ fac
tory.
For the chair works. 4 lot costing $3.50 has
been purchased by several citizens, and 1t
is proposed to erect on it Il building costing
$500, the whole to be presented to the man.

continue to prosecute the business and to
employ not less than ten hands. When he
fails to comply with these conditions, the
property can be sold to repay the money
that has been advanced. In the meantime
he will have the privilege of repaying 1T
any time the money advanced and possess
ing the property absolutely. \ large spoke
factory founded on the above plan is now i'll
successful operation there, and several pro
positions to start other factories have been
made to leading citizens.
Speaking of the above industries, the pa
per goes on to say: g A simple calculation
will show the people what an advantage it
is TO have these factories in the town. The
chair factory, for instance, would employ
not less than ten hands, TO whom would be
paid five or SiN thousand dollars Il YEAR
Every cent of this money would then go
into the hands of our business men, for it
would all be spent Tor the nectSSlrleS of HE.
The question is how much will our business
men he willing to pay TO have that sum OF
money brought to the town from abroad
;,n, distributed among them in trade
This is an admirable plan to increase the
business of 4 country town and we COM
mend it to the favorable consideration of the
business men of Elkton. When business

The New Kaolin Company.

Several capitalists of Philadelphia and
New York have formed Il company and
purchased the kaolin mines in the vicinity
of North East, an account of which was
given in The Cecil Wing some weeks since.
For some reason the original company did
not consummate the purchase of the land i'll
question; but two members of the new one,
Mr.. Scriber and Mr.. Grant, with their attor-
ney, Charles T. FoulkS, Esq, of the Phila-
delphia bar, We're in town, on Saturday last,
examining the title to the property, which,
Mr. Foulks informed us, was uneNception-
able, and he doubted not the sale would be
consummated in the early part of this week.
The property embraces siXty-tive acres of
land underlayed with an almost eXhausti-
Bile supply of kaolin of the best quality. 1t
is the intention of the company to invest Il
capital of at least 5000, 900 in the business,
which they expect to have in operation in
the course of a month from this time. kao-
lin, as most of our readers are aware, is eN-
tensively used in the manufacture of paper
and also in the construction of china ware.
The production of this mine is said, by en-
perts familiar with the subject, to he equal
to any in this country or Europe.

Popularity of a Storm.

While a heavy deluging storm of rain was
falling in that portion of Elkton north of
the railroad, little after noon on Tuesday,
the remainder of the town got but slight
shower. The railroad seemed to be the di-
viding line and while all north of that was
deluged, below it scarcely enough water fell
to lay the dust. \ spectator, looking from
the depot says that, while the town above
the railroad was enveloped in dark clouds
and torrents of rain falling, accompanied by
heavy thunder and vivid flashes of light
ming, the part below the road was in sun
shine, with but sprinklins of rain. At
Mr. John Lees, on the Gilpin farm, the
men were forced to quit work on account of
the heavy rain, while within sight Of them
the reapers were running and the binding
going on, it being as dry as any one would
wish. No such marked line between sun
shine and storm has been observed here for
many years.

Talk up Your County.

We commend to our readers the good
sense of the following cut from one of our
exchanges:
Talk up your county: and speak good
word about your neighborS and your neigh
borhood-not only when you are abroad,
but when youa ut home. Don 90 around
looking as if every man was your natural
enemy, and you were hopelessly tied up in
4 community with which You have no SYM
pathy and no common interests. Don't run
down the county and berate your fellow
citizens to every stranger you meet, but brag
them up. Tell strangers you have line
county. Don't deceive them by telling en-
aggeratea stories or uutruthS, but don t take
a delight in making prominent every little
acknowledgement of public affairs and every
little circumstance Of your county'S history
that was not just according To your ideas.
Tell the stranger visitor that your people
are good and hospitable, and prove to hun
by Introducing him among your friends. Let
every man speak well of his neighborhood
and his cuunty and try and induce strangers
to settle there. When 4 stranger locates
near you, make him think we'll of you and
your ncighbors. If there is Il bargain i'll :.
piece of land OF Il farm near you, help to
get that bargain disposed of. When it is in
stronger hands, and out of the market, ii
stiffens prices on all the lands surrounding
il. Get all your farms into the hands ofmcn
out of debt and able to hold them, and you
will see Il boom in real estate; but us
long us there is 4 farm for sale, under pres
sure of debts, the prices of other lands will
be influenced thereby. y vacant store i'll Il
row OF business houses Injuries the rental
value of all the others; 4 demand for one
more store than can be had has the contrary
effect Prices of lands are effected in the
same way.

wife of $ h. Blake, near New i.er'!,', took
place last Thursday, and was largely at
tended. Services of very impressive char
acter were held in the Mon NJ. +. t.urch,
where she was Il valued member, conducted
by the pastor, Rev. y. ID. Davis, assisted by
Revs. Joseph and VIM. T. Miller. In her
death her husband has lost an atfectionate

Bob Frazer, of this town, was recently
the owner of setter dog that occasionally
took long journeys to Port Deposit, SaSSa-

county Bob became tired of the TIE on
account OF his rowing propensity, and, a
few weeks ago, traded him oil to an agent
from Philadelphia, for Il lot of soap, reserv-
ing the collar and chain, which he sent for
few days ago. and received the following
reply: 81 should like to comply with your
request, but am at present minus dog and
collar-the only thing left is the chain. -

Jim Andrews Again.

Jim Andrews, who was tried for an at
tempt to commit rape upon Il lady i'll the
southern part Of the county, in 1871, and
found "not guilty." by reason of insanity,
and subsequently confined i'll Elkton Jail
until last Spring, when he WIS taken 10 the
Maryland Hospital, near Baltimore, from
which he escaped 4 few weeks ago, has re-
turned to our Jail again to worry and per-
pick the officials in charge of that institu-
ton. Jim is as rational as anybody upon
most subjects, but has an insane idea that
he should be commissioned Us a general by
the Governor of the State; and gives those
around him no peace by his incessant talk
ing upon that subject.
One day, about four weeks ago, while
playing ball upon the hospital grounds with
some of the other patients, he managed to
escape, and at once started for Annapolis
to interview the Governor about his COM
mission, but got into trouble by making an
assault upon little girl i'll Anne Arundel
county, for which he was arrested and had
hearing before Il justice OF the peace in
Annapolis. He states that he was dis
charged for want of sufficient testimony to
hold him, which may or may not be true,
but, at all events, he appeared i'll this coun-
ty last week, and on Wednesday was seen
in North East. On Thursday night of last
week, he is believed TO have been in Elkton
and to have broken into the house of +.
Magruder, at Little Elk, an account of
which was given in our last issue. These
facts coming to the knowledge OF Sheriff
Logan, he obtained IA warrant for his arrest
upon the charge of attempting to commit a
rape upon Il little girl, near Chesapeake
CITY, for which he was indicted mt the Sep
TENDER term of court, in 1871 and not tried
because he was adiudged insane: rs before
stated, when tried 1or Il similar offence at
that term of court. The warrant was placed
in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Boulder,
who traced Andrews to the house of i rela-
tive in SaSsafraS Neck, on Tuesday last and
from thence to the house of his brother-in-
law in Gllena, where he arrested him the
same night. 1t is Il matter of regret that he
cannot be confined in some more appropri-
ate place than the county Jail

An Elkton Graduate.

We do not say it in Il spirit Of boasting,
bnt Elkton college boys, rs a general rule,
always take most excellent class standing.
Princeton seems a flvorite alma mater with
Cecil county parents, and the honorary
rank of recent graduates at that college is
matter of proper local pride, On Wednes-
day last, Mr.. Howard Bratton, third son Of
our respected low-townSman, Daniel
Bratton, Esq, was graduated there, his
rank being seventh in Il class of seventy-siN
members. His graduation theme was " \
triad of national evils We congratulate
his friends upon the successful termination
Of his college career, and hope the future may
realize the promises Of the present.

b. Glasgow, in delaware, which is about
four miles further f.uIh his home than Elk
ton. How he reached Glasgow he AYERS,
is rs much of 4 nlsiery to himself rs f"

habit of sleeping in the saddle and in his
wagon when returning from Wilmington
market, he supposes he Went to sleep and
the animal he was riding lost its way.

story, but give il as narrated TO us by gen
