inat in the bracing atmosphere OF the
5eashOre he holds tast to every step he
makes towards recovery; while i'll
whatever he gained dur
ing the cool hours of night was lost dur.

Rail Shooting.

Last Saturday was rail day, and never
the sportSmen, both citizens and visitors.
Every one of them carefully studied the
wind all day Friday, and specialized on the
prospect of IL tide. Guns had been cleaned,
shells loaded for breech- leaders, and push
erS engaged for Il week ahead-andin fact
every one who could get anything in the
shape of Il boat was prepared for an early
start for the first days shooting.
Early i'll the morning it began a drilling
rain, and this lasted until about y, which,
with the poor prospect of Il tide dampened
much of the ardor: but the marshes We're
almost unprccedentedly full of rail, as the
scores will show, while at no time during
the day shooting WAS there more than half
IL tide. We publish the scores of thirty-tour
of the boats, which add un Il total OF SIS
BIRDS and As there We're fully ten more
boats ont, we will estimate them at 81 birds
each which is the score of the lowest boat,
and which will show that fully :;,50S rails
were slaughtered on that day. For long
time, as the reports came i'll, Mr.. VIM. :.
Douglass, of Philadelphia, was high boat,
with 100 birds; but later on, Mr.. Amos
Lewis, who resides near Frenchtown, dis
tance,i him with score of IFS, and used Il

of all the boats we could hear Of:

Far Notes.

This week, i'll calling attention to the at
fractions of our coming Fair we will try
and, give our readers some idea of what they
may expect in the way of amllSementS. The
committee selected for this purpose are Just
the right men III the right place, and if we
may judge the result by the activity they
are displaying, the different amusements
determined on will add greatly in making
our coming Fair Il popular success. In the
first place, the committee on trottiug horses,
after carefully looking over the ground, have
decided to change the fast race from 30 to
to enter, and they confidently expect Edwin
Thorne, Wedgewood, Hannis, and Driver
to be among the entries: while Trinkct will
also be in, if she does not beat that time in
a race to come OFF next week, and this class
Of horses will insure an exciting race with
very fast record time.
Mr. Marrett delivers ol er the track to the
managers next week and il is in such SPLEEN
did order thai experienced Judges say that
there will only be about ~ seconds differ
tuCt HeL"ttl IL anu At lllllt Ilittk.
Next in point of attraction to orr mind
comes the tournament with its attendant
inducements of handsome prizes Cour in
number) of 500, so, $50, and $50, crown
ing of queen and maids of honor, and a
grand tournament ball in the evening. The
committee have somewhat altered their pro-
gramme, and now open the lists to knights
from any quarter of the inhabited portion
of this mundane sphere, so that tirSt-claSS
riding and close contests may he expected.
Previous to the tourney, the knights will
be mar>laled i'll line in front OF the stand
and an Grafton will he delivered by an emf
nrnt orator. who will be the executive Off
Ger i'll the browning ceremonies. 1t is rr
mored that at least thirty fair ones expect
to be crowned queen.
The bicycle race, from its oddity, will be
popular, and entries from two crack clubs,
one from Philadelphia and one from Wash
ington will insure Il we'll contested and cN-
exciting race, for which handsome prizes
are offered.
The slor lace, in point of fun, will prove
to be quite feature This is something
new here, and 4 short descriptive eXplan;,-
tion will be order. In the first place, the
nays entered are selected for their slow gait
instead of their Sueed and both horses and
mules are allowed. When the entries are
all made, the Judges in SecreSy select the
riders of each nag from the number enter
ing, that no man rides his own nag or
knows who will ride it. or where he will
ride, until the race comes OFF. This will
prevent trading or .iockeying of riders
Then. as the last horse in wins, of course
every rider desires the nag he is riding to
come in ahead and as all of them are gen
orally selected for their slow gait, a laugh
able and exciting contest is the result. No
beating of the ANIMALS is allowed. and if
attempted, will rule ,,ut the rider and lis
horse but not the one he is Hiding, while :,

Amor Boyd, who drives wagon at Marley
Mills, was frightfully burned by the eXplo-
sion of coal oil can, on Friday after

took up coal oil can and poured the oil
into the fire, causing an explosion, the re-
port of which was heard at the mill, a quar-
ter of Il mile OFF. DIR. Mitchell dressed the
body of the little one with linseed oil and
lime water, and describes the condition of

A Curious Atmosphere Phenomenon

About s o'clock, on Monday night, most
curious celestial phenomenon was observed
in the northeastern part of the heavens and
attracted much attention here. 1t seemed
as though large band OF ray of light had
raised up from the western to the eastern
side of the horizon, and while many We're
admiring it and taking it to be the aurora,
the eastern end seemed to divide into what
looked like white clouds, which moved
along the dissoving ray Of light to the west
the ray of light disappearing as the bars of
clouds formed. These looked like parallel
bars, and no artists brush could more regu-
larly have marked them out, and as each
band broke up, it did so in the form of a
white luminous cloud. The effect was beat
tiful, and as the bars formed out of the
luminous ray first seen, they resembled the
spokes of an enormous wheel, all converg-
ing toward an imaginary axle below the
horizon y scientist claimed that Il nebu-
lous belt had touch the earth's atmosphere
Durin" this phenomenal exhibition the
northern lights were unusually district.

found his is irt ur nted for by lie fact
hat the head of the dead man WAS entirely
wrapped up in his vest and the rope was
passed through the arm holes. This, it is
supposed, kept the brains and bloody matter
from oozng out. The friction caused by
dragging over the rough ground, snagS,
stones. etc, had laccr:lted and torn through
the mtrgnmcnts, exposing the inteStin"S,
and some "i' the bloody marks ON leaves,
twigS, Nc. doubtless came from this source.
Before the next isSue of Tie wing, the
grand inquest for the county will, in all
probability have acted on the case and pos
Sihly we may lie able to state with certainty
the time of trial: but it seems to be gener-
ally admitted that the case will be carried
over until the December term.
