An Elkton sportsman has adopted a
novel plan for locating his dog while wood
cock shooting in the swamp. He attaches
small clear toned bell to the collar of the
dog. and its tinkling shows pretty certainly
his whereabouts. When the sound of the
bell cannot be heard, he is pretty sure to be
on stand. A call from his master will
then make him move enough TO ring the
bell, when he is easily found, and the bird
he is standing brought to bag.

not yet been recaptured. The bird was Il
strange one. having been brought from
Philadelphia by 4 relative of Squire
SCOTS but !. couple of day, before. 1t was
rated as one of the very finest singers, and
was highly priced by its owner. 1t was
seen in the afternoon on IA tree on East Main
street for moment or two, but gave no
chance for any one to capture it. In all

Dark clouds of charges of immoral CON
duct hover over the head of Rev. Geo. Il.
Bristor, at one time pastor of Bethel NJ. l..
Church in this county, lately pastor of 4
church in Newark, New Jersey. A trial of
the case 4 few days ago, resulted in the res
ignation OF Mr.. Bristor, and the delivery
by hiM to the Presiding Elder, of his com
mission rs such pastor. Whether or not the
charges (Which are of most shameful
character) are true, we cannot say, but to
put it mildly, it looks gloomy for the Rev.
gentleman. The New York Sun of We'd
nesday publishes the case entire. We think
much of it unfit for our columns. Mr.. Bris-
tor is now sick at his Fathers house in Bal
timore.

up the ghost at about noon. The animal
had the attack while in the stable and it
was thought advisable to lead him out and
turn him into an adjacent lot, but Just as
he reached the street he dropped dead in
front of j. =. Merritt'S store, causing quite
