a Canning Factory.

Mr.. H. L. Arthur, of Aberdeen, Bar.
ford county, Md, announces in our ad-
vertising columns his intentions of start
ing canning factory in Middletown and
wants to meet the farmers at Maxwell's
hotel to make contracts with them to fur
nish him with tomatoes. Mr.. Arthur come
here we'll recommended as to his capacity
for tine work and also asto his financial abil-
ity to carry it on and deserves the hearty
support and cooperation of the farmers
of this vicinity. The capacity of the con-
Germ he proposes to start will be from TO-
900 to $1,000 cases per season and will
give employment to from 60 to 70 hands.
This enterprise should be encouraged in
every way possible. 1t will be benefit
not only to the trades people of the town,
but to the farmers Of the whole section,
and we sincerely hope that no one will
stand in the way Of his own benefit and
the benefit of the public at large, by not
aiding by every means in his power the
establishment of such an industry in
Middletown. We hope the meeting will
be largely attended and that Mr.. Arthur
will feel very much encouraged by his
reception here.
Mr.. Arthur has rented the old foundry
building and the use of Colonel Hanson's
scales.

Anything to Beat a Railroad.

In speaking of the movement of the
general passenger agents to head off the
ticket scalpers, the New York Daily In
dicdtor says:
"The railroads have not adopted the
rule requiring limited tickets to be used
only for continuous train rides, without
excellent reasons. The roads have no de-
sire to prevent passengers from stopping
over at places along their lines. On the
contrary, they have heretofore made it as
convenient as possible for people to do
this very thing. But how has the travel
ing public shown its appreciation OF the
courtesy Simply by trying, in every pos
sible way, to swindle the railroads when
ever they saw chance. A man wants TO
go to Buffalo-what does he do? Buys a
ticket to Chicago, and when he gets to
Buffalo sells the unused portion of his
ticket to scalper. The railroad is doubly
cheated. First, it carries the original
swindler to Buffalo for less than it takes
passenger who is too honest to indulge
in the luxury of cheating the railroad /;
and, second, it carries another man from
Buffalo to Chicago at less than the regular
rate. The posted traveller, who cannot ar
range to buy more tickets than he intends
to use, never thinks OF going to the rail-
road Office for the tickets he wants. He
patronizes the scalper, and helps that one
to skin the railroad. So it goes, the rail-
roads by an extension of courtesy have
been victimized and robbed by the travel
ing public. The everyday traveller at all
times has his eyes open to the chance to
beat the public. And so widely has the
influence spread that even staid, honest
going people, who travel only occasional
ly, have come to think it quite the thing
to deal entirely with scalpers, and assist
in whatever swindle may be necessary to
effect saving for themselves of few dol
lars. We are glad that the railroads have
decided at last to protect themselves from
the dishonesty OF people who claim to be
more than respectable"

The Cat.

Notwithstanding the extreme cold
weather large crowd congregated at the
gates of the New Castle Jail Saturday
morning, awaiting admission to the whip
pings.
The first candidate was E. J. Hollings-
worth, young man aged about 20 years,
who pleaded guilty to the charge of for
gerry at the present term Of court. He
was sentenced to stand one hour in the
pillory and be placed in solitary confine-
ment for three months. He accepted the
situation with apparently good grace.
Harrison Rothwell, alias Sugar Aw-
ful," who has "been there before was
fast ened to the post and Warden Nedrey
administered five lashes with the " cat"
William Rothwell, his brother, and
George Norris, each received ten lashes.
The culprits squirmed considerable under
the whipping. Both prisoners have hugg-
ed the post before.
John Beachan, colored, was given five
lashes, and appeared satisfied when the
performance was over.
Frank Playford, white charged with the
larceny of watch from j. B. Foard OF
Middletown, received twenty lashes and
appeared to suffer considerable.
Sheriff Ford was unable to WELD the

The Peach Crop.

A KILLING FROST, AND A SHORT CROP
IN PROSPECT.
Reports vary as to the extent of the
damage done the peach crop by the re-
cent severe cold weather, but it is certain
that the damage is very severe. In the
immediate vicinity of Middletown it does
not appear that the crop is SO badly injured,
but gentleman from Middletown who
has inspected orchards in the vicinity of
Smyrna says the extreme cold did great
damage there. One OF our residents who
has extensive peach interests in Queen
Anne's county, and who is gentleman of
mature judgement upon such matters,
tells sad tale Of the condition of things in
Queen Anne's. He reports the damage
to be as bad as that of 1881, and that in
that county there will not be over one
tenth the usual crop. Some varieties are
not SO badly hurt as others, among these
are Stumps, Wards Late, Old Nixon and
Silver Medal; but all yellow peaches
have suffered very much.
