Travel to Baltimore.

some time ago complaints were quite
frequent among people in and around
Elktou that trains on the p. W. & b. Il.
Il. did not give as much accommodation
to Baltimore as to Philadelphia. To meet
this the Superintendent put on special
train last Summer, leaving Elkton soon
after eight clock in the morning. Pass
engers taking this to Perryville then
change into the fast mail and reach Bal
timore before ten o'clock. They can re-
turn leaving Baltimore at three or four
or seven o'clock. This gives nearly the
whole day for business or shopping. This
train has been SO little patronized from.
that it is run at loss, and when
the recent time table was made there was
strong disposition to take it off. Through
the earnest solicitation Of some of our
citizens, however, it is still continued.
People will go where they are best ac-
commodated, but many of our citizens
say that shopping in Baltimore is quite
as convenient as in Philadelphia. Here
is fair chance to see what can be done,
and if people do not go to Baltimore it is
certainly not the fault of the railroad
company.

On Sunday evening last, when MessrS.
George and Frank Witworth, sons Of
Mr. Roger Witworth of this town, re-
turned from church little after 10 o elk,
they found the front door of the house
open. Suspiscion of something wrong
was aroused, as all the other members OF
the family were abed, and it was custC-
mary with them upon retiring to close
and lock the door. They at once began
search for the init uders and armed they
began to look over the house. They had
not gone far, in fact but to the rear or
baci, door of the house, as they approach
ed it two men sprang out of a dark cor
ner and bolted out this exit. The search
ers had not time to use their weapons,
ard the would be burglars escaped. 1t
is not known how they managed to get
the front door open. Nothing was car
ricd oil, as they went in too big a hurry.

terribly injured by being crush he'd beneath

Christmas TURKEYS.

There seems to have been some miSapprc-
hension of the real facts in the case OF the
carrying away of certain turkeys, an ac-
count of which we published under the
above head last week. The loser of the
fowls and his friends it appears jumped too
Quickly to the conclusion that they had
been stolen, instead of investigating before
making such charges. 1t now appears after
hearing the other side to the story, that the
turkeys were not stolen at all bat We're
taken in mistake in the night. The party
who took them was ahsut moving from the
neighborhood known as the i5arrcnS 20
Grays Hill, and having number of tur-
keys to move and knowing that he could
not catch them in the day time to move
them he sent two men at night 10 bring
them over. He gave them such directions
as he thought would enable them to avoid
mistakes, but notwithstanding this they
made the very blunder he aimed TO prevent
and instead of getting all of his fowls, they
captured portion of his and thirteen OF
those belonging to a neghbor. As soon a.
the mistake was discovered the turkeys
were delivered up. The proprietor OF Grays
| Hill farm had no connection with The
matter whatever, any further than that he
leased piece of ground to he party who
to erect IA dwelling house.

The Contested Election Case.

Mr.. George Harlan, the Republican
Candidate for County Commissioner,
whom the report of the return judges
declares to have been defeated by the
Democratic Candidate Mr.. Eli Seminar
b. five votes, has determined to contest
the case i'll the Circuit Court, and by the
time this reaches oar readers, his conn
sci George \. Blah Esq, will have filed
his petition to that end. Mr.. Blake was
engaged all day ye steTday and the day
before in looking up authorities and pre-
pairing the petition, and feels confident
that lie will be su ecessful in establishing
the fact of Nj. II a.lan's Election. This
also seems tn be the general opinion, and
if this is done we see no obstacle to Mr..
Harlan taking his seat is a member OF
the board. The code lays down 10 regu,
lar course of proceeding so far as the
court is concerned. but leaves almost
everything to its discretion. No appea
can he taken from the decision of the
Circuit Court, as mas already been de
cided in several cases, 50 we suppose
that if the court after a recount under Its
supervision is hail, decides that Mr.. liar
Ian received a m; jority of the votes, the
Governor will commission him. The
mere fact OF Mr. SSeutman having already
! been commissions d will have no ef1,ec
orc way or the ct her. The actual vote
