Badly Frightened.

As two farmers of the second dis.
trict were returning to their homes
late on Tuesday night, when near
Spa Branch, they encountered what
they supposed to be his Satanic
Majesty, in all his hideousness of sui
phurous flames, horns, hoofs, tail and
all. One was more courageous than
the other and determined to meet the
hideous monster, and, with revol-
yer in one hand and club in the
other, advanced towards the Satanic
looking object, while his companion
took to his heels and made reindeer
speed up the county road. He called
to the object in front of him, but it
made no reply; he then fired his re.
volver at the ''infernal thing when
10 and behold COW Jumped from
the bush. The animal had taken rest
for the night at the foot of an old
stump of tree about four feet high,
one side Of which had been burned,
and the other with the bark off, the
cow lying at its base switching its
tail, made haideous looking object in
the glimmer of the dim moonlight
The fellow was terribly frightened,
but he succeeded iD getting his
breath, and called for his companion
but be had fed The sight was so
appalling and blood curdling, says
our informant; that his companion
was so badly frightened, be was con-
fined to his he'd for several days, after
witnessing the fearful spectre.

BRIEF MENTIeNENGs.

Free oi cbarge-ah empty gun.
If you cast away. one cross you
will doubtless find another, and per-
haps heavier one.
Our character is. but the stamp
on our souls of the free choice of
good and evil we have made through
life.
When that neighbor of yours
comes to borrow this paper, just
whisper gently in hiss ear that it is
the duty of every good citizen to pa
tronize his home papsss, and especial
ly the EVENING CAPIaAL.
Speeding horses along the streets
is of frequent occurrence, and is a
very dangerous practice.
Summer is fast spassing away
and Autumn will soous follow in her
wake with her many beautiful
scenes.
Heads of familiessand the labor
ing man who earns only one dollar a
day can be heard complaining of the
high price of beef in our markets.
The political weather Gas been rather
hot around AnnapoliE---it lacks the
opposition fan. 4
Strangers visiting cur city take
great interest in inspecting the an
cient buildings to be found here.
The autumnal equinox will oc-
cur about the 2Oth or alst.
A live newspaper does more to-
wards building up town than any
other public institutions, and, we may
add, gets less money; and thanks in
return.
Our girls, and all other girls,
should not flirt with strangers. Nine
times out Of ten you are flirting with
rake, and it is species of acquaint-
ance not conference.-the society that

give you propelling Kick ubout that
time.
The weather feels very much like
