A Neighborhood Squabble.

Mrs. Margaret Kile. widow, with several
children, residing near the Center school
house. in the 18th district, was the owner of
a flock of halfgrown turkeys last Summer,
which birds, as is we'll known, are some
times in the habit of wandering away from
home OH hunt of grasshorperS and other
insects upon which they feed. nfortu-
nately for the peace of the ncighborhood,
these turkeys occasionally trespassed upon
their neishborS. jefferson Ferguson and
Mrs. kile are neighbors, and jefferson was
the owner of 4 dog that seemed TO take de-
light in hunting turkeys and other birds.
At various times, as alleged by plaintiff,
this dog killed more or less of her turkeys.
On the 9th day of last October, being bent
upon mischief, and not fully recognizing the
nature and obligations of the law, he in
vaded the premises of Mrs. kile and killed
three more of her flock. Whereupon she
brought suit before Justice How ard for dam
ages The trial, which was an interesting
one, took place on Thursday last. Eight
witnesses were present, as were also a num-
Der of the people of the neighborhocd. The
parties to the suit employed no counsel, but
each managed their case in a very credita-
BILE manner, and the magistrate, after a pa
tent investigation of the facts, gave .iudg-
ment in favor Of the plaintiff for $500 and
costs, which amounted to $500.
At the conclusion of the trial, Mr. Fergu-
son brought suit against Mrs. Kile for tres
pass and damages, alleging that her cattle
had broken into his corn field and destroyed
his corn some time last Fall. This trial is
set for next Thursday

A Very Odd Month.

The present FEBRUARY will be an odd
month in several respects. 1t will have, in
the first place, an odd number of days.
owing to its lean year distinction 1t will
have an odd number of Sundavs-tive-
which is very odd for the shortest month in
the year-and one of the Sundays will be
Washington's birthday. It began on Sun
day and will end on Sunday, which is also
odd. The five Sundays correspond in date
with the five Sundays in next August.
which is odd again. 1t is said that no one
now living will ever see another February
February so odd: nor will their children,
nor their chil,lren's chldren-sutficiept in
itself to make the month interesting. Many
old snperstitions are associated with the
month, which originally had % DAYS among
the Romans in an ordinary year When
the Roman Senate, however, decreed that
the eighth month should be named after tLe
Emperor Augustus one day was taken from
February and bestowed on August, giving
it 81 days, in order that it might not be in
ferior to July, called after Julius Caesar
February was the month of publication,
from febru"n, during which the Lupercalia
or Februlia, were celebrated, the festival
beginning the 18th and celebrated annually
Luperculus, or Februus, was the god of
fertility, whose appropriate sacrifices were
dogs and goats. After the offering, two
youths, patrcians, were conducted to the
altar when one of the priests touched their
foreheads with i sword dipped in the blood
OF the victims, and another priest washed
of the stain with the wool soaked in milk
Then the priests sat down to feast at
which wine was bountifnliy furnished
After rising from the board, they cut the
skins of the sacrificed goats in pieces, and
covered, with some Of these, parts of their
bodies, in imitation Of the deity, represented
as half-clad in goat skins. With The other
pieces, converted into thongs, they ran
through the streets striking everybody they
met, particularly women, who courted the
blow, from the belief that it averted ster-
ilty and the pains of travail. The cere-
monies of the festival were supposed to
symbolic the publication Of the people
If it had any such power the revival of
Lupercalia would be advisable here, where
political sins are grevous and innumerable
To purify Maryland materially and morally
the Lupercalia would need to be extended
throus hout the year.

scendant of the Boulder family, her ances-
tors being among the early settlers on the

Boulder, and the sister of George W. Boul-
den, of Welch tract, and the Sistrr-in-l::w
of the gentleman of the same name, for
many years Il resident of the Second dis
trict Of this county. She was in the Goth
year Of her age, AMI leaves a large number
of relatives and friends to whom her amla-
bic disposition and Christian department,
manifested through her well-Spent life, eSpe-
cially endeared her Her funeral, which
was largely attended, took place on Mon
day last, the services being conducted by
her pastor, Rev. Mr.. Polk, of the Glasgow
Presbyterian Church, after which her re-
mains were inferred in the family lot, in
the Elkton Presbyterian grave yard.

The Douglas Thieves.

William and Edward douglas. of Kennel
township, Chester county, Pa, whose eX-
PLOTS in Elk Neck, last Fall, gained them
much unenviable nOtoriety, were tried and
convicted last week, III West Chester, for
an unprecedented number Of robheries COM
mitted in Chester county, during the La;
six months. Like the lion and ackall they
hunted together, and wherever William
went Edward was sure to go. William, il
seems, was an old offender, having been re-
leased from prison last April after serving Il
term of two years and six months for bur
elary. For this reason his sentence was
made more severe than Edwards. We an

Important Decision.

y decision of considerable importance
was rendered in the Circuit Court for Kent
county Oh Monday last, by his Honor Judge
Wickes, in the case of l.. 4. Lee & Bro, rs.

of the personal property. and the reaper i'll
cluded. He subsequently sold the reaper

submitted to the conrt On an agreed state
mcnt of facts and the written argument of

The court, in rendering its opinion, ex-
planned the law as ruled in several cases by
the Court of Appeals Of our State, that

nocent purchaser, without notice of any
condition AT the time of the sale, cannot he
recovered by the vendor, and that the title
passes to the innocent purchaser even should

Sad Accident.

Harry Musgrove, nephew of DR.. I. Fl.
Musgrore, formerly of this town, and son
of Vim. A. Musgrove, of junction City,
Kansas was killed, on the Goth ultimo in
Marietta, Pa, by the falling of a derrick,
at which he and another boy were at play.
Harry had a Christian burial by the good
citizens of Marietta. His uncle, on hearing
of the accident, several days after ii occur
red, FASTENED to Marietta and made nqui-
ries abput the unknown boy, who upon ex-
animation after being disinterred proved to
be his nephew who had left Camden, y. j.
in November, 1875 when but little over
twelve years of age. The uncle had the
body again buried in the same grave, in the
beautiful cemetery of the town. Harry
was instantly killed, while the other boy,
whose name was Enswichr, 4 native of
Marietta, died in few moments after being
taken to his fathers house
The sad death of this boy furnishes a
suggestive text for !, sermon that might he
of profit to boys generally. Henry was a
boy who had Il good comfortable home, and
was brought up at the knee of an aged and
Christian grandmother, who devoted her
old days in trying to do this little boy good
and who, in turn, was kind and devoted
and who seemed to respect and love his
good old grandmother; but eventually he
got into company which led him away, and
to his death. 1t is probable that he was en-
ticed away by young man who lived in
Camden. and who left about the same time
that Harry did, from the description given
of the man who was seen with the boy or
two boys, before the accident Gas they had
been but Il few days in the town. and who
said, after the boy was killed, that he was
named Harry Musgrove and that his father
lived in Kansas, and who left soon after his
death and could not he found at the time
his uncle visited Marietta. His death is a
great atfiict To his friends and should be
warning to all lads of his age not to de-

A Pleasant Surprise.

On Thursday afternoon, January 18th Il
large company of the members and friends
of Harris Church, Elk Neck Circuit, made
an attack on the Methodist dominic's do
main. while he, with his happy family, We're
quietly enjoying the comforts of peaceable
home. The attack was not so startling rs
it might have been, had there not been a
party of skirmishers who We're far ahead OF
the advancing army, and whose random
shots gave evidence of approaching hostili-
ties. When the line OF battle was fully
drawn up, and the fire began, quite an i'm
posing scene was presented: \ formidable
stone fertilization, occupied by Il humble
itinerant family, under Il heavy fire ot-not
hot shot and Shell-but well filled baskets,
buckets, bags bundles, sc. Upon inveSti-
CATION the missiles were found to be COM
posed of almost everything suited to sue
cessful assault upon mans interior There
were hams, butter, lard, poultry, sugar,
coffee, tea, fruit dried, canned and preserved.
pies, cakes, flour, buckwheat corn, pota-
toes, cabbage, hrooms, SC. With such i'm
plements Of warfare, the siege was an easy
one, and the citadel was captured without
difficulty, an unconditional surrender being
made, and the exultant victorS, together
with the equally eNultant captiyes, joined
in celebrating the conquest by partaking of
a sumptuous feast. The joy of all hearts
found free expression as the happy after
noon hours passed away finally merging
into the shades of evening, and apprising
all that it was time TO Withdraw from he
scene of pleasure and repair to the house of
God, to join in the conquest of souls for
Christ. Singing and prayer closed the de
lightful time spent together by Pastor and
flock but on the tablet of memory Senti-
ments of gratitude and esteem were written
in characters which still remain and which
will not be easily etfaced. One feature of
the happy affair, which deserves special
mention WAS the presentation OF a beautiful
silver set, comprising knives, forks and
spoons. 10y our noble spirited friend, A. H.
George. May the richest hcnedictions of
Heaven fall upon all the kind donors. They
