An Elkton Sportsman's Trip.

A prominent Eikton sportsman, not be-
ing able to find birds enough in this
vicinity to crafty his desire for shooting,
started on Monday last for Somerset
county. where the birds are more plenti-
full than they are here. Before he left
home he purchased fine, nobby, stiff
hat Just the article to top off his stylish
spol tsman S lig He boarded the train,
taking a seat next the window. and as
he elided along past many field over
which he had hunted the festive quail,
he forgot his present surroundings and
gave himself up to reveriA. AS he passed
through the farm of Joseph Booth. east
of town, he leaned out the window to get
a sight of a spot where he had only re-
Gently made a brag shot, and before he
could say Jack Robinson" his new hat
was @hiSked from his head and went
sailing out into the very field in which
he had shown so much interest. The hat
was picked up by Mr.. Booth that after
noon and given in charge of Mr.. Wells,
the agent of the company here. How the
bareheaded sportsman Jared for the re-
mainder of the trip we cannot positively
say. but it is rumored here that he lost
his gun at Harrington, and that some
where near Delnar his dog jumped out
of the window. and the last seen of HIM
was by passenger on the rear platform
of the hind car who says that the last
sight he had of the dog was as the train
turned a curve and he was then on dead
stand in the centre Of plowed field

Before the Squire.

On Saturday afternoon last, William
and George Barr, two young men who
reside just over the State line in Della
ware, were arraigned before Justice James
\. Lewis, at his office on North street,
charged with disorderly conduct at
Crouch's Chapel on the Sunday night
previous, and with disturbing religious
meeting To give them an opportunity
for defence the justice held the case over
and final hearing will be given this after
noon. We are not acquainted with the
facts in the case, but hear from very good
authority that these young men were not
the worst offenders upon the occasion
mentioned, but that other and older per-
sons. from whom better behavior should
be expected, We're engaged in the dis
turbance. All this will probably be
brought out at the hearing.

Mr.. Kamether follows threshiug rs bus

Tobias Rudulph, and every pi ce of his
machinery was burnt. The loss will fall
heavy upon him, as he had no insurance,

Rapid Growth Of Salisbury, Md.

A correspondent of the Baltimore SIM,
writing from Salisbury, W ycomico con"ty
in this State, speaks as follows of the
rapid growth of that town:
The growth of Sail bury during the
past year has been remarkable, when
compared with any previous year. The
sound of the saw and hammer is heard
in almost every part of the town. New
buildings are being erected in every quar-
ter. Many of the new residences are
handsome and would do credit to any city.
In the business line several new stores
have been erected during the year. These
are fitted up with elevators, use gas, and
are arranged with that convenience that
insures speedy and satisfactory business
transactions.
The amount of capital invested in
buildings in Salisbury during the past
year is estimated at over one hundred
thousand dollars. This will give some
idea of the growth Of the place. Next
year will also witness a great deal more
building.
The business of Salisbury is rapidly it,
creasing year by year. and people from
Somerset, Worcester, Dorchester couu-
ties and Sussex county, Delaware, come
| regularly to make their purchases. This
| they can afford to do on occount of being
| able to buy what they want at low
price.
A new opera house will be completed
in few days. 1t will be finished with
opera chairs, gas and water attachments,
and everything for the convenience and
comfort of both audience and performers.
1t will have a seating capacity for about
| five hundred persons. There is some
talk of Abbey, the New York Theatrical
manager, leasing the building for the win
| ter.
