and penny papers were not in being, ths

Traced in characters OF fire he saw the
fatal words:

Steam on the Farm.

To those who read the signs of the
times it is very manifest that steam en-
gines are to play very important part
in farm work in the near future. We
expect to have steam pillow that will
work on the ordinary farm very soon.
The following item from the Dover
DELI Sentinel serves to confirm that ere
long most of the heavy work on the
farm will be accomplished by steam in
stead of horse power. The motto now
is among advanced farmers, ''Do no
work by hand that can be performed
by horses" This is likely soon to be
changed to, EDO no farm work by horse
power that can be accomplished by
steam"
"One of the new features in harvest
ing in this section this year was that of
running binder by steam power. J.
W. Durborough, near Rising Sun, had
nearly finished cutting his wheat on
Tuesday, when his neighbor. E. B.
Linn, who has traction engine which
he uses in threshing, proposed to try
that motor on the binder. After firing
up, the engine was hitched on in the
place of the team, and by making the
corners round the machines moved
along together without the least trouble.
The engine was more eagily managed
than the fOur-horse team which Mr.. d.
had been obliged to use on account of
the ground being soft, and by running
close to the standing grain the binder
was kept full all the time

Another Murder in Cecil.

There has been another ''pear cid
err" murder below Elkton, William
H. Webster colored man and his
wife and children were lodged in Jail
last week for killing Edward McNelly.
The parties are all of the first district.
The Websters and another family
lived in fish house on the Grove
Point farm. A man named Sam
Moore of Havre de Grace, who Web
ster says has been blockade running
whiskey across from the latter place,
came into port with a sloop load, the
day before the murder. containing
five gallons of this 'pear cider" which
the high license temperance party
insisted on having the county license
and take hand in selling. Edward
McNelly, Wash knabb and Robert
Craig, purchased the largest part Of
the cargo which they drank, staying
at the fish house while they were &C.
cupied in this business, and abused
the Websters. and the other family,
a widow woman and her daughter, by
way of amusement, while storing the
"cider." In the morning they left
the shanty and got the balance of the
cargo. They soon returned, broke
into The fish house and commenced
an assault on the Webster family,
when Webster took hand by firing
his gun the charge killing McNelly
ON the spot. The Websters gave
themselves up quietly to the constable
and went to Jail.
The high license temperance organ
ization commended that it this ''pear
CIDER had been sold to McNelly &
Co.. by a regularly licensed saloon
keeper in place of by the blockade
runner, Sam Moore, that it wouldn't
have made the men crazy and wicked.
Perhaps not, but the good people of
Cecil county are SO wrong headed
that they wont believe this truism
although the high license temerance
organization vouch for it.
