native of this county, was brought 10 town on
Tuesday evening last by constable X. b.
Herbert charged with shooting an oyster
dred er from Dorchester county, whose name
we were unable to learn, at Lower Cedar Point
on that day. He Was taken before Justice Wm.
Boswell, who after hearing of the case, com
milted to jill to await the action of the Grand
Jury. The man was shot in the llrShy part OF his
ri sht leg just below the thigh and the wound,
though very painful, is not considered serious
There had been no quarrel or i'll feeling what

There was a current rumor IN town last
"Wednesday that two of Port Tobacco 5 citizens
had repaired to Washington, there to be united
in Hymea bonds and made one The contract
ing parties were Mrs. Mary F. Sutton, our
amiable and obliging peStmisress and MIR.
Geo. A. Wade, the popular ex-Sherif of the
county. The rumor think has strong
grounds for credence and we take this occasion
for censratulatiug the happy couple, and wish
ing them every pleasure and all happiness that
is al ottcd to those who assume the bands of
matrlmony. They left town quietly on We'd
nesday morning leaving no hint behind them
OF their destination or intention, preferring we
suppose quiet wedding feast TO themselves
than the gaudy show and superficial admira-
ton Of indi ftrent friends. They were expected
to return home last evening, but too late for
US to get full description of the ceremony.

Musical PrOte@e.

We had musical protege, in the shape ol
a small colored boy, to visit us last week, and
the musical talent developed by the lad is really
remarkable His name is Hawkins and he is
the son of John II twkinS who lives i'll the neia h.
borhood of Pomfret The protege is scarcely
seven wears old and not much higher than a
VIOLIN ana vet he can take one of these inStru-
mentS and almost successfully initiate an,
tune that he hears played, and can harmonious
ly go on with tune that no one else has ever
before heard We witnessed his performance

shower of rain that occurred late in the even

A Word.

Next week is Court week, and as we have
before noticed the fact Of it being such usually
attracts more people TO town than at any other
time during the year, and many come in al
that time ho, pei Ihaps have not been here be-
fore for IA ' ear or more. Now to most Of these
we would gently suggest that We have on our
hooks IA small account against you, not more
than a dollar or two PERHAPS, but yet it has
been sttnding unpaid for a twelve month and
we think we could take just as good care of the
money as you. SO you would greatly obiige
us if you uilI just call around and take our
receipt for that dollar. If all who owe will
do this we would have money enough 10 keep us
running for six months and we would not have
to trouble you again for twelve months. Do
not forget US friends but call in, see and enjoy
our delighted looks when you pay us the
amount of that small bill.

I Ne Wheat.

Slmn Cox, ESQ, has We learn, one Of the
finest stands of wheat in the county al Rich
Ill., his residence. 1t is regular over the
entire field and has uniform length Of from
two to three feet. Mr. Cox attributes his fine
prospects 10 the lib,ral use Of lime on the
land The land he h 5 in wheat this year has
almost always heretofore failed to turn out this
cereal in anything like fair yield. But dur
in : his plowing and seeding last fall he used
shell lime very freely AMI the consequence is
that he has magnificent wheat field and an
excellent prospect for large crop.
