any dogs?" she entirely forgot to mention
anything about the matter. While the

by a veritable farmers watch dog, the clerk
inquired as to the ownership of the canine,

From the HiiddeIphid Times

No attempt has been made by the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company to
cross the tracks of the Pennsylvania on
the "Neck, but the latter company still
maintains its force of two hundred and
fifty men on the ground to prevent the
accomplishment of the crossing should
the Baltimore and Ohio attempt it. The
officials of the latter road say that they
have no disposition to resort to violence
in the matter and will leave it to the
courts to decide. They maintain that if
the ordinance permitting them to enter
the city is legal, they certainly have
right to cross the tracks and cannot be
prevented from so doing.

The sale of the privileges for the COM
Ing fall fair of the Cecil County Agricultural
Society, which took place last Tuesday on
the fair grounds, drew together a large
crowd ofparties engaged in amusement and
other attractions generally to be seen at all
agricultural fairs, and the bidding which
was very spirited was from parties from
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Atlantic City. The privileges sold amounted
to 81, 125' and the balance yet to be sold will
beyond all doubt aggregate the sum og ST.
700, sum much greater than ever before.
This certainly gives assurance of the popu-
tarity of the association, and guarantees
greater success than ever for their coming
fair; and in connection with this the gen
eral manager of the trotting and running
races reports, that there is every indication
OF the largest line of entries ever made since
the fair has been in existence. He makes
this estimate from the large number of let
ters of inquiry already received, and from
the liberal premiums offered.

SCRQf lila

Usually develops in early life,
and is a peculiar morbid con-
dition Of the system, usually
affecting the glands, often re-
sulting in swellings, enlarged
joints, assesses, thickening
of the lips, enlarged neck, sore
eyes. A scrofulous condition
is often hereditary, but bad
diet, too free use Of fat meats,
bad air, want Of sunshine and
nourishing food will induce
1t. Some people are troubled
with scrofulous swelling Of the
glands, and with ulcers and
kernels, which may cause very
litde pain; others may have in
ward scrofula, scrofula of the
lungs, scrofula of the spleen,
scrofula Of the kidneys, and
scrofula of the bones. BUR-

Singular Vision. Miss. Belle Kinney,
aged L. years, student in the Marysville
public schools is afflicted with singular
vision. Her teacher, Miss. Ella Ely,
shortly after this little girl entered school
noticed that she always held her books up

1uiiing further discovered that in writing,
she wrote backward and with her left
hand. Miss. Ely, the teacher, was puzzled

The Bowling Green Gazette fully explains
the milk in the cocoa.nut hy stating that
this firm had its job printing done at the
Gazette Office instead of the Sentinel, and
gels down TO the gist of the case in the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
When these gen lemen first came here
To engage in This work, Mr.. c. w. Evers,
who, desirous of gaining little notorieiy
asa history writer, wanted Ia so into part
nsrship with them, so we are tad, but he
was refused admission In the work. and il
is now understood that Mr.. Evers intends
getting mp history OF Wood county on
his Gown hook" in which Case the book
will undoubtedly be printed NJ the Sentinel
! Office, and the more dirt that paper can
throw on Messrs. Kurlz & Sheldon the
better Il will be for them.
THIS we say ia The reason why we believe
the Sentinel is waglng such a war agnins
these gentlemen, and that too, after they
have paid tire Sentinel considerable money
tor advertising. aud their actions should
be condemned by every honest thinkIng
man. 1t has always been the custom OF
this sheet to abuse ami try to break down
every institution that did not palronize il
or cater TO its dictation, which they are
trying Co do in this case. IL tries To run
everything and everybody in the county
and when 1t thinks that il cannot rule ihe,,
the war begins.
Messrs. Kurtz & Sheldon cone before
the people OF this county well rece nmend

perfectly responsible. They have made a
life long study of this business and We feel
safe in saying that they will give u+ the
