Our Salisbury Correspondence

AA S"ASOuHy SOAACSHOAuOACCs
Tho tobacco market has been lively in
Salisbury during the last. week. Messrs.
Worst j. Shertz have bought quite a num-
ber of crops. Mcssrs. Shingle, Moore, and
Skilcs s Fry, have all secured several crops
each, at figures ranging from IL aud 13 to
22 and % but there still remains about
one-half Of the crop in this township. Some
OF the largest and finest crops are still un-
sold. Messrs. Worst & Shertz commenced
packing last week in Mr.. Isaac Coiroath' 5
warehouse, about a mile north Of Spring
vile they were compelled to pack there
on account of the early freeZc-up, which,
delayed the finishing Of their own ware
house in time to commence packing. They
have about ten hands at work.
The snow has. again blocked up our
roads, thereby causing considerable work
in shoveling them out, the high winds re-
filling them almost as fast as they are
opened. Several heavy loaded teams stuck
fast in the drifts during the week and caus-
ed the neighbors to turn out with shovels
before they could be extricated.
David W. Kurtz drove from this place
tc Carlisle ono day last week and returned
two days afterwards, in 4 day making a
drive of about 1G0 miles in two days.
Rather good driving to be done with q
farm horse
Your correspondent met with slight
misfortune a few days since. While cut
ting wool lie frOze botl, hands, and at
present is wearing Il large blister on each
finger to remember the cold snap by.
An outrage was committed On one of
our most respected young men last Sunday
evening. Mr.. Lorenza Hilton and sister
visited Bridgevil!e church, and on their
way home. near the Sorrel Horse hotel, in
East Earl township, their horse was
caught by some ruffian while three others
Of the same stripe proceeded to assault
Mr.. Hilton in his sleigh. Two held his
head down and the third dealt him several
very severe blows about tho head. The
screams of his sister finally brought him
assistance, who compelled them to desist
and release his horse, thus allowing him to
escape. Mr.. Hilton does not know what
the motive was, but most likely the scoun-
drels ineditated robbery, as he frequently
is known to carry considerable money with
him. We hope that when tho same party
undertake to play the same trick on our
young men again they will meet with the
kind of reception that their conduct de-
serves, which viii! be few ounces OF cold
lead.
Small politics are again lively IN Sails
bury, there being six candidates for road
commissioner and all claim that they arc
sure of election. There will either have
to be more Offices created or fewer candi-
dates if all their assertions prove correct.
S!eighing is still good and our young
folks are making good use of it, surprise
parties being the order of the day. There
are three or four in this nci. .lborhOod
every week, but still weddings arc scarce.
May be they will take place later.
A. D. Ammon, Of this place, has leased
the Swan hotel in Chester county and will
remove there on April 1st. He is g good
fellow and should receive fair patronage
in his new undertaking.
MIR. A. B. Ayres lost a valuable COW by
death last week and Mr.. John Wanner lost
a valuable driving horse in the same way.
Our school was visited this week by
their old teacher Mr. Geo. w. Horne, ac-
companied by Miss Mamie KuLns, also a
teacher. He was warmly welcomed by his
class Of 1879 and 80, and he in turn
highly complimented them Oh their pro-
gress since he left, and they have passed
into the charge Of their able and efficient
tutor, Miss Clara n. Fitch. They passed
a pleasant half day together and a profit
able one to all.
