"A big row occurred on Main street, on
Saturday night, originating between a
colored man and his wife, over the posses
sion of their baby. The man snatched the
child from the woman and paraded it up
and down before her defiantly. A large
crowd gathered, mainly colored persons,
and much noise and confusion was the re-
suit. John Barleycorns was at the bottom
of the trouble. The town Balitf' appeared
upon the scence after time and quieted the
belligerents, but made no arrests.
More than one person met with bad luck

along large basket well stocked with pro-
visions. After they arrived at Colchester
she called her company to dine, but when
she sent TO the store room for her basket, it
could not be found, some hungry mortal
had walked off with basket, dinner and all
Such little pleasantres added to the charms
of the occasion.

during the summer it will be dry season,
and his predictions won't be far from right
after all He says the reason wedon't have
more seasonable weather is because it is
fore they got to keeping it in bureaus, who
ever heard Of so much trouble about the
weather, if they will just bolish that thing
and let the weather alone, it will he all
right"
While Mr.. L. w. Janney was sitting at
a table reading, at his home on Bow street
on Sunday evening, the lamp was somehow
or other overthrown, falling upon the floor
and breaking into many pieces. The flame
caught to the coal oil and in an instant he
room seemed in blaze, several buckets of
water were thrown upon it before the fire
was extinguished, and when it was put ont
burned through the carpet. At one time it
looked as though the building would be
burnt.
Prisoners in Queen Annes county, are
not placed behind bolts and bars as they
are here. Sheriff Dunbar took prisoner to
on Tuesday, and when he arriv-
ed at the Jail he was directed to put him i'll
a second story room pointed out to him.
This was in an ordinary dwelling, and the
only fastening to the door was a common
spring latch on the outside Queen -Anne's
county is about two hundred years behind
in the way of prisons. The sheriff said his
only fear was that the prisoner would
escape before he got out of town.
The numerous strawberry festival held
Turing the past week We're not, as Il rule

-Ifany one has cribbed, found or has
my knowledge of small pair of blunt
pointed scissors such as are used by dry
good clerks, they would confer favor upon
III attache of this paper, by making that
act known. A pair has been lost strayed
II stolen and the news cleaner is in bad
tx. If the party who cribbed them does
not return them before Saturday, his name
will be made public. If he attends church
on Sunday, we will get the preacher to
brow book at him. Scissors are as nee
essary to the average newspaper man as the
paste pot. One is no use without the other,
and if the holder will not return the scissors,
we would be gratitied if he would call and
steal the paste pot also.
