In each issue, for several weeks past we
have spoken of law breaking persons shoot
ing quail, before the end of the close season,
and this illegal business is still being car
ried on, until the few coveys in this vicinity
are nearly deciminated. and nothing left
for those who observe the law.
A society, somewhat similar to the
young peoples society, at one time so popu-
lar here, was organized among the young
people of the congregation of the NJ. f..
Church, of this place. last Sunday after
noon. The object is the improvement of
the mind social enjoyment, and study of
the scrptural lessons. The first meeting

The failure of Geo. w. Evans, Gamer
of fruits etc, at Charlestown, last week, is
the second blow to the business interests of
the fifth district within short time, the
people having not yet rallied from the eff
fects of the failure of Driesbach & Wilcox,
contractors on the new b. & o. Railroad.

The premises of DIR. ID. I. llouSekeeper,
f. Thomas, George Mccullough, WIZ
T. Hammond and others at North East III
this county, were entered during the night
time last week, and relieved of sundry
eatables. Our informant thinks the thefts.
were committed by some lazy denizens of
the neighborhood, as regular burglars
would be more on the hunt for money and
valuables, neither of which appeared to he
the object of quest of the perpetrators of
these robberies.

Zion NJ. f. Church, and to assist in meet

On Wednesday afternoon, large covey
of quail (travelers) alighted in the truck
garden of Mr.. Henry Bell, on Church and
High streets, from whence, after resting a
few minutes, they arose and flew over town
southwards. These birds are sometimes
great travellers, and when they once make
a start will not stop until they come to some
body of water, so wide as to be impossible.
In one of their short flights, many one
has been picked up on the upper Chesa-
peake, having dropped into the water ex-
hausted in attempting to fly from one shore
to the other.

Intelligence has been received by II. p
Leslie, of our town, that his youngest son,
who has been connected with the great rail
road enterprise Of Texas, for the last seven
years, and from whom nothing had been
heard since the first of June, has since that
period been lying very i'll with what is
known as "Texas Malaria, a fever almost
as malignant as "Yellow Jack" From
hale robust man weighing $50 pounds, he
has been reduced to 120 pounds. He is not

THE Directors of the Poor. of Chester
county, have wisely decided that the pau
per children should be removed from the
communicating influences which surround
them at the county almshouse. They are
looking ont for suitable building in which
to place them under the care of Il competent
matron and teacher" The example of the
Chester county Poor officials, should be fol-
lowed by those of Cecil. The number of
pauper children here may be few, but even
if this is the case, the morals and training
of that few should be looked after, and this
is not likely to be done in an aims house.
Talk about denominations in the way of
pavements. Any one who may be com
PEELED to walk on Main street, on n rainy
night, will talk about them loudly every
time he puts his foot in a basin Of cold
water, gathered in the sunken places, and
he will talk often too for the sunken places
are numerous. The muddy water in these
basins under the dim light of the street
lamps, presents much the appearance of
firm brick, and he don't discover his mis-
take until he souses in ankle deep. Then
he meditates loudly in expressive language
But he goes home with wet feet all the
same Wei vote for cobble stoning the
roadway, then we can walk i'll the mid
die OF the street when it rains and keep out
of the holes in the pavements.
