Irving Lyceunn.

Owing to the absence of one, and the
sickness of another member Of Irving
Lyceum, both of whom had been selected
to take part in the exercises, last Monday
evening, the programme was not as long
as usual, but those who were present
seemed to be very well entertained. Miss
Belle Pennington sang a pretty solo, Mr..
w. w. Rothwell read Burns immortal
'"ram O'Shanter," and another member
Of the society gave some incidents of travel
in Colorado. The closing musical selec-
ton was pleasing duet by Miss Belle
Pennington and Miss Ada Jump. The
vers to questions followed, during
irh Mr.. NJ. B. Burris defined jealousy, in
appy and exceedingly amusing way.
programme for the next meeting will,
we think, be more than usually entertain
ing. There will be readings by Mr.. T.
w. Buckle and Miss Sylvia Wright, and
an amusing little affair entitled "Court-
ship Under Difficulties by three MEM
bers of the society. The musical part Of
the programme will be fresh and enter
tanning, and the exercises will conclude,
as usual, with answers to questions. All
persons interested in the success of the
Lyceum will be welcome.

E,risby's Ride.

Samuel Frisby (colored), who works for
Thomas McIntire, Esq, near Summit
Bridge, recently had an exciting adven-
ture. On Sunday morning he lit his pipe
and started to church, in wagon in which
he had put some straw to keep his feet
warm. Before he had gone far, coal fell
from the pipe, set fire to the straw, and
Samuel was surrounded by flames almost
before he knew what was the matter with
him. He did not forget the horse, but
kept it moving at lively pace to prevent
it from taking an interest in the confiagra-
ton in the wagon and running away
Samuel's situation was precarious. His
clothing took fire and he and the wagon
would both have been burned up, prob
ably, if Mr.. McIntire had not seen him
and ran to his assistance. That darkey
has laid his pipe aside for the present.

Announcement.

This is an age Of progress, and the
TRANSCRIPT means to be progressive. Its
motto is, Excelsior We don't know
what excelsior means, but it is good
motto All the city weeklies are now
illustrating their columns, and we do not
intend that they shall outstrip us in enter
prise if we have to mortgage our dog in
order to keep mp with them. As long as
we can borrow fifty cents from friend we
shall spare no expense to keep abreast OF
the times. We have long desired to add
an illustrated department to our journal
a department where majestic art could
revel in all her beauty and purity-and
this week we do it. We have engaged an
eminent artist, at two dollars a week, and
found, (and he may be hard to find, some
times) who, when not engaged in white
washing the back fence, will devote him
self entirely to designing new, striking
and original illustrations expressly for our
columns. The expense of keeping
special artist is heavy, but by the liberal
and increasing patronage Of an admiring
public we are able to stand it, and when
we can't stand it any longer we'll sit down
and rest. The American people love pie
lures. Nothing delights them more than
gazing on the beautiful creations of the
artists brain and hand-on the back Of a
twenty-dollar bill. We have felt that way
ourself. We trust our readers will admire
the artistic taste displayed in our illustrat-
ed department this week.

Parlor Entertainment.

The ladies of the NJ. E. Mite Society
have completed their arrangements for
another parlor entertainment, to be given
at the M. e. parsonage on Friday evening
Of next week, 29th inst. The former en-
tertainment was such a pleasing success
that many have expressed a desire for a
repetition, and while the coming enter
tafnment will, in one sense, bea repetition,
the musical and literary selections will be
new. We are unable to give the pro-
gramme this week, but we know the la
dies are hard at work to make the affair
an entertaining one, and they will do it.
The admission will be fifteen cents for
dults and ten cents for children, and all
are cordially invited.

Explanation.

..The types did not appear as they were
intended in our Middletown article last
week, and we now apologize for saying
that the citizens of Middletown were a
hospital, and now say, as we intended to
have said before, that they are an hoSpitd-
be people. We now ask the TRANSCRIPT
if there is any 'Way' that will change
iafrmdTy to suit Elkton as well as we have
changed hospital to apply to our friends
'Over the line = = Cecil County Neacs
OF course there is always way to do it:
Elkton people are not an infirmary . at
all, but just as nice as they can be, and we
are always glad to see them over here,
whether they come on missions ofbusiness,
friendship or love. We extend the hand
of friendship across the canal to the Nelcs
correspondent and say: Come again, so
journ with us and be happy. Mistakes
will occur in the best regulated printing
offices, and the types will make us say
some odd things occasionally.

Peaches.

We have received bunch Of peach tree
twigs from an orchard on the farm of a.
G. Rowland, Esq, in Sassafras Neck, Cecil
county, Nd, which are very full of live
buds, almost ready to bloom. We learn
that this orchard shows an excel
lent prospect for crop. Among other
orchards in the same neighborhood, that
promise to be fruitful. is one belonging to
Charles Derrickson, Esq, of this county.
1t contains thirty acres, and nearly all the
trees are full OF live buds. On the old
Cassidy farm, belonging to Harlan tE Hol-
lingsworth, Of Wilmington, there is an
orchard Of one hundred acres that promises
a crop, also two orchards belonging to
John Polk, Esq, that show large num-
ber of live buds. All these orchards are
i'll the same neighborhood, not far from
the Elk river, and in the section in which
the peach was first cultivated for market,
in Cecil county. Prominent fruit growers
who have ridden over much of Sassafras
Neck say that this is the only section Of
the district that promises to produce
peaches this season. Along the Sassafras
river but few live germs can be found in
the orchards. Early in the season, Mr..
Nowland ordered his tenant to pull his
orchard up, and it was not discovered that
there was good prospect for peaches until
nearly half the trees were out of the
ground.

DRESS GOODS.

What art and skill are doing in cotton dress
fabrics Two counters are gorgeous with
them. The lowest price is 81 cents a yard and
the highest CPL cents: but they are made in
soft and delicate ways and by texture or
print or dye, to rival the stuffs of luxury.
Here are their familiar names:
Scotch Zephyrs Foulards
Madras ginghAmS Sateens
Seersuckers Lawns
ChintZeS CretOnneS
Oxford cloths Monies

In almost every name are triumphs. You
