or one of the Canadian ports, and
made their way thence into the
United States, has been laid before the

that the pauper immigrant law only applies to
landing directly from a ship; and is silent on the
question of their coming by land. Congress
will be asked to legislate on the subject.

such blessing has been accorded Mr..

A short time since cards were issued to
their intimate friends and on the night
of August 2Sth, 1885, there gathered at
their residence on Main street a company

September.

The month of September brings with it
many joys and mapy privileges. The
oyster is now to be found at almost every
saloon and hotel This month reed and
rail birds afford ample sport for gunners.
The marhscs will teen with sportsmen

occasional shot at bunch of "reedies."
This month makes glad the heart of
the average scholar, because now he may
be daily seen with satchel filled with
works of knowledge seeking the various
places of learning.
This is the month when amusements

This is the month when our farmers
give voice to the whisperings of duty,
and the plowshare is frightened for
wheat seeding. This month the farmer
will cut and shock his crop of corn. In
a thousand ways he will prepare for
winter-be it mild or be it severe.
This is the month that good, liberal
subscribers should call and settle up
thus providing country editors with
enough wherewithal with which to pur'
chase a bushcl of turnips and quarter

A Novel Sight,

The Italians are employed by the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company, in
placing ballast on the road bed. The
men employed consist of about one hun
drcd, all told. They have their head
quaters in this town, close by the rail-
road, and it is really wonderful to watch
these queer people cook and eat, Early
in the morning they are astir and Il con-
tinuous chatter is kept up until they
board the train, which carries them to
their field of work, some where be-
yond the Little Elk Greek. During
the day there is but little life visible
about the houses, sheds and barns, eX-
cept an Italian woman or two may be
seen idling about, with several olive
commissioned children. The evening after
six o'clock, the train that carried them
to work in the morning, can be heard
approaching, and before you see the
crowd you can hear them. AS soon as
the train stops they leap of, and many OF
them start in run toward their shanties
chatterng yelling and gestulating all the
while. Just as soon as they reach the
shanties fires are started in little holes
along the road bed or between large
stones The fire place is so arranged that
pot of water can set, and into this re-
ceptacle many miscellaneous articles, toe
numerous to mention, is tossed and soup
is made. Some of them have Il skillet
on which cabbage and articles mysterious
are cooked. But little meat is used, and
this soup seems the general diet. Sitting
at distance dozen fires can be seer
burning brightly, and figures fitting here
and there present a rather wierd picture
These people appear to be happy, a.
there is no quarreling and general gooC
humor among them exists. Their soil
object is to make money; save it, and g
back to their sunny homes.

Petty Thefts.

This town was visited by thieves on
Wednesday night Of this week. The
Deer Park Hotel was entered through
kitchen window, and after supplying
themselves with eatables, the thief or
thieves forced their way into the bar
room, where the money drawer received
their attention. Mr., Lewis cannot say
how much money was in the drawer, but
thinks it was not any great amount.
The Washington House received a
similar visit on the same night, and with
more success. A new suit of clothing
belonging to one of the attaches of the
house was taken, together with several
coats hanging about a room on the first
floor. The money drawer suffered the
loss of about ten or fifteen dollars. The
hotel was gotten into by prying one
of the front shutters
The larder at the residence of Mr.. l..
X. Bowen, who lives at the West End,
was completely cleaned out. That gen.
tleman is not quite positive whether the
thief was man or dog. However it plac'
ed him in very distressing situation for
his breakfast the next morning. The
matter was bridged over by kindly neigh
bors.
A valuable revolver was stolen from
each of the hotels.
Mr.. Broad's market house, next dool
to Washington House, was broken int
and six watermelons taken.
Mrs. GrifIith's residence, next door t.
Broad's was entered, but fortunately die
not secure any booty. Mrs. Griffith ha'
taken the precaution to take a numbe
of silver spoons up stairs before retiring
but there were some some half dOzeI
or more of inferior metal left behind, AM
these the thieves twisted and bent, un
doubtedly for the purpose of tostin
their genuineness.
An attempt was made to enter the rer
idence of Mr.. William Dunbar, on Chap
el street. but his wife was awakened b
the noise, and she screamed with frigh
which caused the party(a colorcd mani I
beat hasty retreat Mr.. Dunbar rusl

craving of the dead animal. The beau
tiful memento was gotten up by w.
Atmore Woodrow, jeweler in this town,
and does much credit to that gentleman
as Il skilled workman Mr. Wilson prizes

be easily reached by the P. W. & b. r. r.

larger than heretofore, and great num-
Der of exhibits should be placed in COM
petition. Every one should patrOnze
the Fair, because it is to your interest as
well as any one elses to be present and
encourage and keep the Fair going.
Because the management is under a
few, is no season why you should not be

for the trouble they take, and you should
at least allow yourself to spend four days
proftably. Great efforts are being made
to make this coming exhibition grand
success, as the association is heavily in

the debt will be more or less liquidated.
The pass system is done away with. No
other Fair in the country uses passes

there will be way, and no trouble eX:

and therefore done away with. Be sure
