LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
EAST END NEWS,
IN SALISBURY AND EAST EARL.

From Our Correspondent at Cedar Lane.
A grand kick-up took place in tho Radi-
cal camp of Salisbury last week. Last fall
during the campaign the Salisbury Repub-
licaps bOastcd of their large club and their
magnificent equipments, namely-a piece
OF blue oil-clo,h tied with piece of tape
and II cent torch, except in the case of
tho cOlOrcd troops, who wore red, as q
mark OF distinction. All went smoothly
they turned out to all the mass meetings
far and near, and made grand displays :;
they were marshaled by efficient officers,
and the club was composed of some of the
most prominent and wealthy citizens of
the township, and it was supposed that
their treasurer held lots of club funds.
The campaign closed, the club shouted
victory, but still they arc not happy. AS
it turns out that they still owe Mr.. Hes
ton, Of the Gap, S17 for 100 torches. and as
the Republican club of Salisbury turns out
bankrupt, Mr.. Heston was compelled to
bring suit before Squire Slaymaker for
the amount of his claim against individual
members OF the club. Last Friday was
the day appointed for the hearing, when
about twenty Of the individuals who had
the honor Of belonging to said club were
summoned to appear. They embraced
merchants, justice of the peace, politi-
clans, agents, farmers and almost all Of
the solid men of the township. We un-
derstand that judgment was given in
favor of Mr.. Heston for the amount and
costs, and the mulctcd parties are to pass
around the hat at the coming primary,
when it is hoped all good republicans will
respond literally and restore the lost
credit Of bankrupt party. Pity such is
the case, and it is sincerely hoped that
Brady might be able to give his party
friends in Salisbury star mail route to
help them out of their dilemma.
Mr.. Isaac KOffrOath some time since
bought very fine driving horse and new
top buggy. Last Saturday evening he, in
company with Martin Diem, took drive
for the benefit of their health, and arrived
at Springville about 8 o'clock in the even
ing. Who in the store transacting some
business, from some cause their horse be-
came frightened, tore loose. ran against
Mr.. George Martins carriage, demolished
it, and succeeded in masiling up Mr..
Kaffroath's new buggy. No one was hurt,
however, in the runaway.
Messrs. Worst & Shertz arc nearly
through packing their purchases of TO-
baccO. They have given employment to
quite a number of hands for about four
months and the establishment has packed
some of Salisbury's finest crops. They
most certainly can show as fine q lot of
samples as any firm in the business for
the number of cases packed. They are an
enterprisiEg firm, and have now in the
course of erection fine new warehouse
for the continuance of their business.
The fire that had been raging for several
days on the Welsh mountain is now extin-
guished, but the damage done amounts to
considerable. Many lots of fine sprOut
timber are completely ruined and will have
to bc cut off.
Corn is nearly all planted. Tobacco
ground is getting ready, and in the course
Of few days some of our farmers will
begin to set out plants.
Supervisors are busy making roads
hands are scarce.
Plenty of buildings in course of cree
ton lumber business extra brisk.
