and number of great works will be rem

In addition to the great advantages the
Cape possesses, with its finest of beaches,
splendid drives, grand hotels, good fishing
and sailing, and the before mentioned mu-
sical attractions, the " Washington Rifles,''

Bitten by a Dog.

On Thursday, Carrie, daughter of Mr.
Harry Hall, of this town, Il child of about
twelve years of age, was badly bitten upon
the cheek and lip, by a large dog, a cross
between a setter and mastitf, belonging TO
Mr.. Geo. w. Taylor Mr.. Taylor's residence
is only one door distant from that of Mr.
Hall, and the children have been in the
habit of going in there frequently and some
times playing with the dog, which was never
thought to be vicious. On the day named,
Carrie with companion, went into Mr..
Taylor's, and as they passed through the
hall, the dog growled ut the latter who was
ahead. Carrie thinking he growled because
her companion was strange to him, went
up to him and patted him upon the head.
While in the act of laying her hand upon
him, the brute sprang upon her, fastening
his teeth in her cheek, tearing it and max
ing an ugly wound from the cheek bone
down to her mouth. He then madea second
snap, and that time his fangs cut her lips
and chin. She struggled to get away from
him and in the struggle the savage animal

portion of one side of her dress. If it had
not been that some member of the family
reached her by this time and drove the dog
off, there is no telling how it would have
ended, perhaps in her death. The child was
taken home and medical attendance pro-
cured, and is now doing rs well as possible,
though suffering considerable pain.
We last week called the attention of pa
rents to the great danger of allowing chill
dren to play with dogs during the heated
term. Many animals, gentle and amiable
at all other times become vicious when
worried by the heat. Only week or two
ago, in neighboring community. large

and playmate, sprang upon a little child

their stacks, when passing under railroad
bridges? Navigation had to give in to the
railroads.
Mr.. Archer Stump said that he thought
the citizens Of Port Deposit should give in
to the railroad, because the latter would
town. In furtherance of the object it was
necessary for some party to give away in
the interest of the other. In this instance
it was the shipping men who should give
in. He believed the gentlemen of Port De
posit sincere in their motives, but withal
there was in the opposition to the proposed
bridge of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company still voice favorable to the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, which corpor-
alton was always pleased to see any compli-
cation arise which would prevent its rival,
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
from erecting the bridge at the desired
point.
At this juncture Comptroller Heating and
several others, including the Governor,
called Mr.. Stump to order. Mr.. Williams,
who was sitting beside Mr.. Stump, spoke to
him, whereupon the latter turned, and look
ing at him said: Anybody who has poll
tical aspirations for the Governorship of
Maryland should not interfere with such
an important matter as the one now under
consideration
This was followed by laughter, and the
gentleman was called to order, when he
said: "Gentlemen, 1 mean business, do. +"
Several others spoke against the bridge
being built, unless at a height of 125 feet,
or a lower bridge with draw. The Board
will consider the matter, and give decision
some day next week.

River Improvements,

Lieut.. Colonel w. p. Craighill, United
States engineer officer in charge of the
improvements of the rivers and harbors
in the State of Maryland, in his annual
report to the chief of engineers for the
fiscal year just closed, says that an ap-
preparation of $25, 900 was made by the
last Congress for the improvement of the
Susquehanna River, above and below
Havre de Grace, and for the completion
of the channel to the Fishing Battery
lighthouse, and for Strengthening and
extending the piers and breakwater for
the protection Of said channel. Exca.
vations were made in the shoa; between
the railroad bridge and Port Deposit,
between Spesutia Island and lIavre de
Grace, and at the basin of the fishing
station below IIavre de Grace.
The object of the work abayc the
bridge was to facilitate the outflow of ice
and to prevent dangerous gorging. The

A Defense of the Sparrow.

The report of an interview with Will
liam II. Smith, Superintendent of the
Government Botanical Garden at Wash
ington and President of the District
Parking Commission, and who is said to
be an authority on trees, is published in
which lie makes strong plea in favor of
the English sparrow, claiming that to its
presence here is due the continued exist
ence of some of the finest trees in Wash
ington, which without would have been
destroyed by worms and other insects.
He also denies that the sparrow is re-
sponsibe for the disappearance Of some
of the native birds. Some of these latter
he asserts are rural birds who have in-
strinctively sought the country as the
city has grown, and others, like the hum
ming bird, have been sacrificed by natur-
alists and the collectors for millinery
establishments. He says the sparrow,
the robin, the blue bird and yellow bird
all live peaceably together in the botani-
cal gardens, which fact he thinks settles
the charge that the sparrow drives off all
other birds.

A gay and jolly party of Wilmingtonians
accompanied by several Elkton gentlemen,
took sail on the Elk, on Capt. Fowler's
yacht, the " Nantho," on Tuesday last.
The party arrived here by the II p. NJ. train

on the river, returned by the 9. 10 p. NJ. train

storm in the afternoon, when it rained and
blew tercely. They found safe harbor, how
ever, and were none the worse for this ex-
perience. Mr.. Geo NJ. Ash, merchant tailor
and John Shippers, clerk at the United

tonians; Messrs. Cecil Weaver, Capt. John
Bennett, VIM. Coale. and Alex. Evans, Jr.,

Bitten by a Snake.

About three weeks ago, John Croft of
of Coleraine township, Lancaster Co. Pa,
was engaged in his garden hoeing, and
with him his tive-year old boy. Along
the fence were some wild strawberries
growing, which the father told the child
he could pick and eat. In a few minutes
after the child had been thus engaged.
he gave terrible scream, and en- going
to his assistance the father beheld huge
snake still attached to the finger of the
child. He Immediately carried the little
fellow to the house, when the hand and
arm began to swell and continued until
the skin of the arm was ready to burst,
and very much discolored. DR.. S. c.
Wentz was summoned, who dressed the
wound. The father then repaired to the
spot and succeeded in killing the snake.
which was of the copperhead species,
and over three feet in length. The child
continued to suffer for several days, and
has not yet fully recovered from the ef-
fects of the poison. The flesh of nearly
the whole finger which the fangs of the
snake struck has decayed, leaving the
bones entirely e.-Christiana Ledger.

Struck by Lightning.

The large barn on the farm of Jesse X.
Coulson, near Port Deposit, was struck
by lightning, on Friday evening of last
week. Two distinct bolts of electricity
struck the building the first one killed
VIM. Martin, colored, q son of John w.
Martin, of Port, who was engaged in
milking a cow in the barn at the time.
The barn was destroyed with its entire
contents consisting of two horses, two
cows and calf, fifteen tons of hay, sew
eral hundred bushels of wheat, which
had but recently stored there, all his ag-
ricultural implements and numerous
other valuable articles necessary on a
first class farm. The body of young
Martin was removed before the fire
reached it. The horses and cattle were
either stunned or killed outright by the
second bolt and were burned up. Mr..
Coulson's loss will exceed $4,000, less
than one-half of which is covered by
policies of insurance in the Mutual In
surance Company of this county and the
Farmers Company of New York, Pa.

At the close of the annual session of
the Elkton Academy, this summer, a
number of young ladies, nearly all of
whom were pupils in that institution, Or
ganlzed society for mutual entertain
ment and instruction, to which they gave
the name of "The Philharmonic and
Dramatic Social" devoted, as its name
indicates, to music, dramatic exercises
and social enjoyment. The society is
regularly organized and officered, the
proceedings at each meeting being in ac-
cordance with rules laid down in the by
laws. They meet weekly at the home of
one of the members, on Wednesdays,
and the evening is spent in readings, re-
citations, defamation and music by the
members. One peculiar feature of the
body is that no gentlemen are admitted
to its meetings, and the audience is lin.
tied to members and the members of the
family at whose house they meet. So
far the doings of the association has re-
suited in great benefit and pleasure to it's
members. The officers and members are
as follows:
President, Miss Grace c. Wells; Vice
President, Miss Carrie G Ricketts,; Sec.
retary, Miss Eva c. Scott; Treasurer
Miss Ollie A. Gilpin; Members, Misses
Bessie +. Scott, Eva Gllpin, Mamie G.
lIaines, Addie II. Brown, May A. Boul-
den, Annie Bryan, Laura f. Maxwell,
Clara V. Scott and Florence Bryan.
On last Wednesday evening the society
was invited to meet at Pleasant Valley,
the residence of the Misses Gilpin. near
town, where they proceeded in body
early in the evening, accompanied by
Mrs. Ii. ii. Gilpin, and passed pleasant
time with music, readings, recitations,
etc They had L much larger audience
there than usual, several carriage loads
of visiting ladies having driven out dur
ing the evening, and these, with the
members of the family, and several
neighbors who dropped in, formed quite
an audience. The workings of the So
cial was here first witnessed by gentle
men auditors, who were permitted for
this one time to look on.
The young ladies are said to be very
proficient in their several parts, giving
most enjoyable entertainment. One
young gent went into perfect ecstacies
over it. Refresh ments, tempting and
abundant, were served during the even
ing and the rigid rules of the society so
far relaxed as to allow little extra free
dom in social intercourse for that occa-
sion only, and the party broke up, every
body delighted with the new organiza-
ton. We trust the society may prosper.
Its object is laudable one-the culture
and instruction of its members-and
should be encouraged.
