Baldwin's Chapel Picnic.

The third annual picnic of the Ealhwin's
Chapel Sabbath school came off last Satur-
day, under the most favorable auspices
The dawn wore that grayness, indicative of
warm day, nor did nature belle herself,
for ere the sun had reached the meridian
his refu!gent splendor was severely felt by
all who had the misfortune to he exposed to
his scorching rays; neither was there any
abatement of the excessive heat till the
evening was well advanced. However, Il
shady spot had been selected by the kind
permission Of the proprietor, Mr.. Baldwin,
in close proximity to the lower Elk Mills,
and about o'clock, a Juvenile party began
to take their seats around the refreshment
stand erected for the purpose of responding
to the demands of both youth and old age
After having been satiated with the good
things prepared tor them the children dis
ported themselves TO their hearts content
on the green sward. AS the night advanced
the adults began to throng the scene, at
tracted from all quarters no doubt in Il great
measure by the excellent music discoursed
by kimble'S Instrumental Band, whose
presence lent an enchantment to the sur
rJundings which otherwise they would not
have possessed. The meeting was quite u
success, everything passed off pleasantly
and quietly, all present conducting them
selves with Il decorum which we trust may
be emulated by other gatherings OF SINH
lar nature.

During the prevalence of the heavy gust

evening" the lightning set fire to Il rick of
straw belonging 10 Mr. James Jackson, on
the farm of Joseph Glading, Esq, in Elk
Neck. About twenty-five tons of hay and
10 tons of straw We're stacked around the
barn yard, which, together with the barn,
were soon in Il blaze and entirely consumed.
, With the assistance of i number of neigh
bers, Mr.. jackson succeeded in saving all
of his farming implements, one hundred
bushels of wheat and fifty bushels of oats.
The tearing down of an old granary, which
stood between the barn and dwelling, prob
ably saved the latter building. Besides los
ing all of his hay and straw, there We're
about twenty bushels of wheat burned that
could not be taken from the burning build
ing. Fortunately, Mr. jackson had just
finished threshing and had shipped 80
bushels of wheat TO Baltimore on Monday.
The building and contents We're insured in
the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of
Cecil county, but there was no insurance
upon the other property.

small fragments preparatory to grinding,
the firm Uses ponderous piece of machin-
cry, which consists of a cast iron cylinder,
covered with rows of large teeth, and which
revolves with lightning speed. Pete Cot
man, colored man, was engaged i'll filling
the machine with bones, and accidentally
threw i'll what he supposes to have been Il
piece of buck horn, which is almost as tough
as iron; Immediately there was 4 crash and
the large fly wheel of the breaker broke into
dozen fragments, which flew in every dircc-
ton with terrific force, one piece tearing its
way through a two-inch board partition as
though it had been pasteboard, and several
other parts tore large pieces from the joists
of the floor overhead. The engine was at
once stopped and extent of damage investi-

of the "breaker,' the damage was very
slight: although it is almost miraculous
that some one was not struck by the frag-
ments of the wheel, in which ease there
would undoubtedly have been some work
for the coroner.

A Pole that Didn't Raise.

The 4th district OF this county has from
time immemorial been the Gibraltar of De
mocracy. The faithful in that region, not
to>be outdone by their brethren elsewhere,
assembled at Fair Hill, last Saturday after
noon, to raise the first Hancock and Eng
lish pole III the county. The pole is said to
have been 1906 feet long, and owing to its great
length and the somewhat "happy condi-
ton of most of the crowd that tried to
raise it, when they got it about half way
up, it took "lee lurch and fell to the
ground, carrying with it Il section OF tcle-
graph wire and panel or two Of pale fence;
whereupon the Democracy of the old 4lh
adjourned sine die; and the pole, instead Of
becoming Hancock banner Haunting i'll

This is bad omen, and many of the faith
full think it typities the defeat of the I'M
terrified at the next election. $50 mote it

attending religious services, on Sabbath
last,th breast strap of the harness gave
Nay, and the horse became uumanarcable
and upset the carriage, throwing Mrs Dun
bar out, which bruised her arm and shout

ence of mind, considerable pluck and an
abundance of muscle, she succeeded in
holding the animal until assistance was
rendered. No more damage being done
the broken harness was soon repaired and
the ladies reached home in safety.
The next day, while Mr. Dunbar was
driving into his yard, with another horse
attached to the carriage, in which were two
or three ladies and children, the animal be-
came frightened and upset the carriage,
throwing its occupants ont, and then run
ming into the fence, demolished the carriage
and broke the harness badly. None of the
parties sustained any serious injuries. Mr..

raising of a Hancock and English pole OH

that it would be fruitless to attemut to
rescue it from its doWnward course. All
this is worse than loSh. This vas the

war. 1t was the watch word Of General
Lees army, ''doWn with the Stars and

their great love for the American flag
and Hancock. In 1869 those same Demo-
Gratis usually r"iSfd the flag of our ma

aim proved true. The Democrats say
the outlook for them never was more
