Eikton on Skates.

At two o'clock. on "Wednesday, upvards
OF two hundred persons, Ladies' and gentle
men, were ON the creek enjoying the health
full sport of skating. Elkton's youth and
beauty were well represented and the scene
was attractive in the extreme. We have
already named the best gentleman skater,
but until this time have not had an oppor-
tunity to judge among the ladies. To Miss
Lucy Whiitlesey and Miss Mamie Hares,
however we think the honor is due to be
named as the most graceful among the
ladies, though really so many We're excel
lent skaters that it was har;t 10 judge he
tween them. We think we are right,
however, when we name these as the best
skaters, both rs to style and speed.
Chair skating is much in vogue. This j.
easily learned, all the beginner having to
do being to sit down in chair set upon
runners and be propelled by some one on
skates, much after the style of pushing a
baby carriage. This is pleasant when the
weather is not too cold. One unfortunate
youth had the misfortune TO break through
aud feel the chilly wafer about his waist.
He suffered no more than the bath and was
quickly hauled out.

Ice Cutting on the Susquehanna.

A number of ladies' and gentlemen from
Baltimore, on Tuesday last, visited the ice
houses of MesSrS. Cochran 4 Co, at Perry
Vile These ice houses are eight i'll number,
with capacity of $4,000 tons storage. The
Baltimore san of "Wednesday gives long
but inter esting account of the visit, and
describes the process of cutting and storing
the ice. 1t says:
As evidence of the rapdity with which
ice is taken by the run it may be stated thar
MesSrS. Cochran Il Co., at Perryville, took
i'll and housed :, 100 tons of ice on Monday.
.r about four tons minute during working
hours. The ice now gathered, after being
plan-d, is about eleven inches thick and III
excellent condition. When the houses are
filled, the top of the ice inside is thickly
covered with ShavingS, &c, to complete its
protection, and remains until Summer,
when it is loaded into hargeS and towed 10
Baltimore, the tri p taking only few hours.
MeSSr>. Cochran & Co. will complete filling
the houses ut Prrryville carly next week,
weather permitting. Their houses at Lari-
dunn, which are of somewhat greater ctpa-
city than those ut Prrryvillc, are already v
full. lee there is cnt from the canal, is OF
very fine quality and from II to ii inches
thick. Mr. Mccoy expected to complete
filling his four houses al rerryviile, on Tues
day night MeSSrs nlcr & Co. have yet
considerable cutting to do. both at IIavre
de Grace and WatSon'S Island. MrSSrS.
Frederick & Sons are cutting at Havre de
Grace, but rs yet have stored only small
quantity The outlook, however, would
indicate that there will be stored at the
three points named from 100000 to $50, 00t
tons of ice this season.

A Race on the Ice.

On Thursday of last week IL trotting race
fer Hartford and Cecil county holses took

Lost Checks

On the 5rd of January, Mr.. Walter Arm
strong, of North East, mailed to the Ma
tional Bank, in this town, eight checks,
aggregating in all s., 1888 These checks
were indorsed by Mr. Armstrong, incloscd
and mailed by himself. They failed to ar
rive at their destination, AMI since that time
nothing has been hear,i of them. The in
dorsenent of Mr.. Armstrong makes them
negotiable, and ii they should fall into dis
honest hands some innocent party may he
made to suffer. As Il safeguard to our read
ers, we give the following list of the checks,
viz: Morris l.. Fell \ Co., of Philadelphia,

on all the above, and duplicates have beer
received by Mr.. Armstrong for nearly all o.
them. The letter containing these check.
was not mailed mt he regular post office al

Saved His Bacon.

The other evening, a lady living on Bow
street, noticed Il man stop i'll front of JAN
ney's provision store opposite, and take
from the hook large piece of pork. After
examining il thorouglly-smelling it, etc,
to assure himself that it was all right and
sound, and fit for the table, he placed it be-
meath his coat and put out. She hastened
over and told Mr.. Janney of the circum-
stance, and, although the man had by tha,
time good start, Mr.. j. Went after him
He chased him out Bow street, over the
railroad, where the fugitive, taking cnt
across the "hack lots" was lost sight of;
nut, however, before it was discovered that
he was Il colored man. He held tight TO his
iIi-g"tten booty, evidently determined to
"save his bacon at all hazards, which he
succeeded in doing, notwithstanding several
detectives were ON the look out for him dur
ing the evening. The officers now think
they know the man, but are without proof
enough to hold him.

Mysteries and MlserieS of Elkton.

Whoever desires to witness what may be
STYLED the mysteries and miseries of Elkion,
can do SO any of these cold days or nights
by picking their way through that quarter
of our town known as Water street. In
warm weather, the olor Of this section is
not pleasing to f;,stidious olEtctories; but at
this season, when the sun is not warm
enough TO draw the perfume from the thou
sand and one kinds of refuse lying about,
the most dainty may stand it. 1t is truly Il
shame that such scene of wretchedness-
even though il may be on Il small scale com
paratively--should exist in a tiourishing
community like this. There are here no
five-story tenement houses like those of the
old Five Points i'll New York, but the street
can boast of one-and-a- a-half story shanties as
tanning as many occupants to the square
foot us any of the Points most crowded
\ description of one will convey 4 fair
idea of all. In one building about twelve
hy sixteen feet in size and one-and-a- half
stories high live or huddie from ten to over
il score of colored persons-dotted now and
then with II white face or two among them
with several children, the number vary
ing according to the severity of the weather
or by new comerS. The greater part of
in the center of which only Il man can stand
erect Entrance is effected by way of the
rear window, plank reaching from the hill
sle to the sill, and over this bridge they
pass in and out. The inner walls are inno-
cent of plaster, and much of the weather.
boarding is off and the roof riddled by
holes. Window sash is unknown, and a
hoard or piece of old sheet iron taxes the
place of shutter. The only thing really
plenty seemed to be dirt, and this abounds
sists of an old stand, Il rickety chair, a stove,
and a q" shake down" all over the floor.
How the inmates of this hovel keep from
freezing is 4 wonder. 1t can only be by
crowdng together and thus economizing
the aggregate heat. Food seemed as scarce
as any thing else, and where their supplies
| come from is another wonder. There art
several other establishments of the same
kind here, and on the hill above several
others very little, if any, better: and in an
other neighborhcod, near the railroad, may
| b.. found one or more of 4 like character.
We notice this matter in the hope of start

The Great
Bargain Room
at OAK HALL.

There never was any
where before, so far as we
know, such a sale Of clothing
as is now going on at OAK
HALL, taking up the whole
ground floor. A hundred
thousand dollars worth of
good clothing, nearly all Of
it new and fashionable, all of
it well made and of good
materials without exception
(for we make no other) is
being sold at prices which
bring loss instead of gain.
Clearing sales occur at the
close of every season; but
they commonly are sales of
broken assortnents and odd
garments, and of small guam
titles.
Here toward the end Of
our most successful season
we are clearing out what
ever, for any cause, has
shown signs of being slow.
Thousands of whole suits
and overcoats and odd gar
ments as we'll.
Now the sole reason for
selling this mass of valuable
clothing, without even an at
tempt at profit, is that stated
above, which may be put into
different words, thus: To get
our stock into the most at
tractive condition, without
regard to immediate profit.
And so, while this sale is
going on, the choicest, most
approved, most successful
clothing we have is up stairs.
The prices there are not re-
duced at all. This sale will
hurt that while it lasts, be-
cause the clothing in the
bargain room is extremely
good For this reason we
want it short; and to make
it short, the prices are low.
Brig back promptly sohat
you don't cant at the Price.
You can order by letter,
or buy here, according to
your own convenience. On
receipt of a letter from you,
will send the means of TAX
ing your own measure. Then
you can tell us what you
want, near enough so that
we can take the risk of suit
ing you.

LETTER FROM THE ORPHAN.

ALrnoNA, Pa. january ~, 1881.
Mr.. ED!TOR:-.As i sit talking to you
through this medium. right merrily go
the slci9hs with the usual jingle of the
bells, which is broken occasionally by
burst of laughter from The Dutch lassles
that would startle q Cecil county iilly.
such Shedding has not been seen in this
section for over twenty Years. We have
had two months constant Sleighny. in
addition to which it has been showing
since Thursday last.
Over one hundred and fifty men go
out of the shops Tomorrow Sunday to
shovel SHOW to open the railroad on the
mountains. Think of it. shoveling SHOW
l, 100 feet above you. 1t chi!ls me here
beside Good Luck" stove red hot.
but on this great and grand thoyoushfare
nothing is IN inped;ment: rocks Of ages
have been cleft fright and left for you
and for me: streams spanned with indie
Structible bridges, as also streams caused
to flow contrary ways. This SNOW, beau
| ti!ul snow, must not presume to be an
| obstacle where tho muscular son of man
trains with the iron horse, even though
Sabbath should intervene. On. on, up
| the mountain they go; one, two. three
| heavy engines to one train; they halt
stick. OH gets the shovel brigade: a
few minutes sufficcs the brigadier says
forward. and away they 6" double
uuick until the sGmmit l. reached. when
they glide down the other side as though
they were running on glass.
| cross the mountains now twcntrfour
times a year, yet my eye never tires in
readin" Natures book and gazing at her
wondrous works hereabouts. In this
Italy of America. man can find all varie-
ties of scenery. from the paSsiyely beau
tifnl landScapr to the startling yaWEing
canyon or the massive han9in. boulder
But enough Of this. The average life of
man will not suffice to describe all here
seen. nor is lar guagc at my command to
meet such requisite. hence must dcsst.
Grains of all kinds, vegetable products.
and all fruits find home market here,
SO dense is the population. Think of it
"a little county like this nt Blair, with
II, Geo population. We send out l64, ,o0C
tons per day Of soft coal. ant! are putting
13J. 600, 600 feet of timber into the Sus-
quehanna this Winter, and yet We are
not happy, as we want to get more tim
Der in and more coal out There are
three new branch roads in course of con,
struction NOW. Altoona built nearly six
hundred houses last year, and many are
homeless yet.
We have everything here man needs
excepting Florida climate and an L.on
est lawyer. We do not crave the mpos
sibility of 4 change ei' climate. but We
do pray for al attorney who would not

and we will ever grateful be.

Bridge Wanted.

4 petition is in circulation and receiving
the signatures of many of our citizens, ask
ing the County Commissioners to erect Il
bridge across the Big Elk at what is known
as Far Creek " fording, near the eastern
limits Of Elkton. This is an Improvement
long needed, as frequently the water is so
high at this point rs to prevent crossing
At times of treshets, which occur annually,
this forling has frequently been impossible
for days at Il time necesSitatinga long drive
by the residents of the hill and swamp to
reach town. We trust the Commissioners
will receive this matter favurably, and that
the bridge will be speedily erected.
