Mrs. Shaw, an aged and highly respect
ed lady, and widow of the late Daniel
Shaw, of Pencader hundred, died at her
residence in Glasgow, on Friday, 9th inst.
Mrs. Shaw was 81 the day before she
died. She has been three times married
and leaves two sons, John II. Thornton
of Glasgow, and David Boyed of Connect
lieut.. Mrs. Shaw was a good, kind moth
err and consistent Christian. She was
beloved by all who knew her, and her
sons have much sympathy.
Two energetic farmers Of Pencader
hundred, Charles Stewart and David Nc
Mullen, saw an advertisement in the
Christian 1dr0cdte of man in Connecti-
cut having a new cornsheller which he
wanted to introduce, and to any respon-
sible farmer sending % cents to pay adj
vertisement, they would ship one of their
machines. David wanted a shelter and
had ordered one from Wilmington, Del,
but they seemed so reasonable, counter
manded his order at the above place, and
ordered from Connecticut. Several days
passed by and David drove over to Kirk
wood to see if his shelter had arrived, he
having ordered it shipped to that point,
but it was not there. Being at the post
office in Glasgow few days after this
the postmaster handed him letter and
package, and on opening it found to his
surprise his oornsheller had been for
warded by malone he can carry in his
vest pocket.

Birthday Fox Hunt.

John Aiken, one of Cecil county's vet
eran fox hunters, residing near Sycamore
mills, had his birthday celebrated last
Wednesday in a rushing manner-by a
chase after sly Reynard. A number of
Mr.. Aiken's friends joined in the hunt
and it was exciting before Cecil Paper
mill was reached. At this place the hounds
became confused and twelve of them ran
upon thin ice coverering the dam on the
Octarora. The ice broke beneath their
weight and they unexpectedly received a
bath in cold water. Among the specta-
tors on the scene was Vim. Scott who
kindly went out on the ice to rescue the
struggling CANNES. Mr.. Scott also broke
through and made narrow escape from
drowning. He was rescued by his COM
panions and all the dogs were saved ex-
cept two.-Orford Press

Without Avail.

We have earnestly advocated the
necessity of fire engine; electric lights;
water works street cars TO Start build
ing boom; to open cross streets, and en-
dorscd those in office and endorsed those
out of office, and Just at this time it
seems that our labors have been almost
in vain. Perhaps not. Some one has
undoubtedly thought that some Of these
things spoken of would be useful, and in
years to come may be contaminated.
just at this time, however we have no
subject to discuss, but would like TO see
some sort Of boom begin.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-In your columns of
late have noticed that you have advo-
Gated many Improvements, which if car
ried out would add not alone comfort
and convenience to cur little town, but
beauty as well. However, is it not vast
ing paper to speak of these things so
often, when our officials are taxed with
such weighty matters as the allowing of
bicyclists using their wheels upon the
sidewalk, and the forbidding of horses
going on the streets at a greater rate than
six miles an hour. Don't trouble these
"Enterprising Town Fathers" about the
purchase of fire engine, the intro
duction of gas works and etc, when
these important things" to which refer
above, remain to be looked after and en-
forced. DO not trouble them say about
things of so little Importance when their
time is so occupied in drawing the divid-
ing line between laws and liberties by
which our fellow citizens are sheltered
and protected. There is no time to waste
in making Improvements. No-no, don't
mention them. SYMPATHI2ER.
