About Building.

The man who built the first house i'll
Elkton unconsciously assumed heavy
responsibility, since in every succeeding
generation he has been SO severely copied.
He put 4 square house, fitted with square
windows, right in the middle of square
lot, and from that day to this every man
who built house has followed the fashion
he SET. 1t seems that the inevitable ten
denCy to copy what some one else has hnllt,
no matter whether it he the best house that
the builder could construct OF not, is gen
eral in country towns other than those I'M
mediately adjacent to large cities. In
towns like Elkton there has been little or
no attempt made to improve the architec-
tural character of the buildings erected
over those constructed Il century ago. 1t
is a fact so many persons building houses
overlook that the actual cost of Il tastefully
built cottage or dwelling does not exceed
by ten per cent the cost of a plain building
OF the same size. Yet the one would sell
for twenty five per cent more than the
ether. Every reader OF The Wing who has
ever passed over the Pennsylvania Rail-
road between Philadelphia and Jersey City
will readily recall the number of tasteful
and attractive cottages surrounding Eliza
beth City, Railway, and other New Jersey
towns near New York. Cottages and small
dwellings, which cost from eight to fifteen
hundred dollars, can he seen, to which
dwellings costing the same amounts in our
county cannot be compared. Their build
ers have simply taken the pains to secure,
at 4 very tritiing cost, a good design for
such cottage as they desired, and have not
left the matter of construction to their car
penter who, unless otherwise instructed,
would copy the building next to him. We
venture to express the hope that the spirit
of improvement that seems at last awaken
ed in Elkton will result in Il better class of
buildings, so far as design and ornamental
tion are concerned.
We make these remarks simply in view
of the sale of lots that took place in this
town, on Saturday last. 1t would be diff
cult to find in any country village more
beautiful location for a row of modern cot

hundred dollars each than the "Gilpin
lots on west High street, which We're sold
last week. We have no doubt that the
purchasers OF these lots can, if they desire,
secure from the Building Association the
necessary loans to improve them. In fact,
we have been informed that the Association
desires to have these lots improved by the
erection of a good style of modern cottage
and will offer inducements for their early
construction.

For two years, perhaps, we
have had the richest, largest,
mostvaried andmost eXhaus-
tive collection of dress-g goods
in Philadelphia. Before that,
We may have had the largest,
and even the most cNhaus-
tive, but perhaps not the
richest. The slowest trade
to come to 4 new merchant
is the trade of luxury. 1t is
the slowest to change from
one to another. But it does
change.
We may say our dress
goods of all sorts are at
about their highest now.
Second and third circles. southeast
from center.
Silks of all sorts have
come; and never were silks
more acceptable. And these
words have a meaning here
beyond any they could have
elsewhere; because Of the
greater variety of wants that
look to us for supply. We
must have all accepted styles,
and all the approved quail
ties of those styles; and, as
to colors, can you think Of
one that we can do without
A store that has only one
class of trade can get along
with comparatively few silks.

rather buy out of?

Two damask towels at I :
and rs cents may serve to
show what we gain by buy
ing Of the makers. The very
same towels are in the whole

about 81 and % cents, which
means at least g cents at
retail.
We are not going to say
that all our retail prices are
below New York wholesale;
nothing Of the sort. More

towels are to be got for IS

true, too.

1000 yards more of it; and
a little of it is left yet. That

and, for people who want it,
there is quite a little wit
about underwear to be pick
ed up at the counter. Where
else would you look for it?
Not in books surely; for
goods are changing all the

On Saturday, the remains were brought
to lor. Mitchell's museum. An improviscd
faculty of anatomical experts, consisting OF
Doctors Jamac, Tuff, Mitchell, Bratton,
Wells and Charnb berlaine, all agreed that
the skull was that of a white man, from
forty to forty-fve years of age, the cond-
tion OF the teeth giving the latter ndica-
ton; that he was Il man of medium height,
this probability the measurement of the
thigh bone indicating: and that he was very
probably Il tobacco chewer, the molars on
the right side being worn very much
smoother than those on the left

covered nothing additional in making up
the complete skeleton. Up to this point
