SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER.
The Ground Hog Sees His Shadow and
| Crawls Back Into His Hole

The Ground Hog Sees His Shadow and
Crawls Back Into His Hole
The 2ud. day of February is always
great day for weather prophets as it is
the time when the ground hog is supposed
to come from his hole, and if he sees his
shadow in the sunlight return again
until St. Patrick's eve. He saw his
shadow on Tuesday last, and therefore
We may prepare for long hard winter.
The End, of FEBRUARY is great church
festival as we'll as great day for ground
hogs. 1t is called in the church Candle
mas, and in it's ecclesiastical meaning, is
the feast of the Publication of the Virgin
Mary. This festival is very strictly kept
by the RomaDCatholic church, there being
procession with many lighted candles,
and those required for the service of the
ensuing year being also on that occasion
consecrated; hence the name Candlemas
Day. In Scotland this day is one of the
four term days appointed for periodical
annual payments of money, interest,
taxes, &c, and of entry to premises
the three other term days there being
Whitsunday, Lammas. and Martinmas.
An old document of the time of Henry
VIII, preserved in the archives of the
Society of Autiquaries, London, concern
ing the rites and ceremonies in the Eng
fish church, speaks thus of carrying can
dies: 'On Candlemas Daye it shall be de-
clared that the bearyinge OF clndles is
done in the mem0re of Carl tie, the
spiritual lyghte whom Simeon dyd pro-
| phecye "a light to tighten the Gen
tiles" as it is redde in the churche that
daye.' But an older and heather origin
is ascribed to the practice. The Romans
were in the habit of burning candles on
this day to the GOODIES Februa, the
mother of Mars; and Pope Sergius, see
ing it would be useless to prohibit a
practice of so long standing, turaed it to
Christian account by enjoining a similar
offering OF candles to the Virgin. The
candles were supposed to have the effect
of frightening the devil and all evil
spirits away from the persons who car
ried them, or from the houses in which
they were placed. An order of council
in 1884 prohibited the ceremony in Eng
land. There is tradition in most parts
of Europe to the effect that fine c.
| portends a severe winter. In Scotland
the representation is expressed in the
following distich:
IF Candlema il fair and clear,
There'll be twa winters in the year
Chris's Presentation, the Holiday of St.
Simeon, and, in the north of England,
to Candlemas Day.

THE STORY OF LOVE POINT.
a sad but Romantic Legend From Kent
ISiand-T,ie Two Lovers.

The scene around Love Point, the
northern extremity of Kent Island, Queen
Anrc's county, Md, at this time is one
reaching to subimity in its grandeur.
Huge masses of ice, wind driven and
tide-riveD, lie heaped upon the shores,
while around the iron pillars of the light
house, situated about midway in the
mouth of Chester river, the ice is piled
in immense blocks twenty and thirty
feet high. Al distance the mass as
SumeS the appearance of an iceberg, re-
tlCcting in thousand rays all the colors
of the rainbow To those living in this
building this season of the year is
traught with much peril. The heavy
northwest gales sweep from over the
bay with frightful velocity. and the
swift tides flow past with irresistible
force, breaking the ice and heaping it
mountain high. To lie all night and
hear the straining and crashing, and
feel the house shake and creak aud
tremble, and to know that a horrible
death may at any moment knock at the
door is not the most agreeable thing in
the world to the inmates. Near this
point, and scutward along its shore, the
wrecks,of many good and staunch YES.
sells are strewn, and their timbers lie rot
ting among the rocks and shells, with
which the bottom is covered.
Naturally it is not at all surprising to
occasionally hear quaint and wonderful
stories narrated in connection WITH ~

Shot in the Shoulder.

George w. Johnson, the superinten-
dent of stone quarry used in the build
ing of the new Baltimore & Philadelphia
railroad situated couple of miles
north west of the village of North East,
was accidentally shot on Sunday after
noon about o'clock, by jeremiah Ben
jamin, workman IN the quarry. The
two were out walking, when they met
an Italian who had with him a gun and
also live squirrel which he had cap
tured and had concealed in his coat
sleeve. Benjamin requested the loan of
the gun aud shot at the squirrel, which
requests The Italian granted. The SPUR
rel, when let loose, ran up on Benjamin;
he shook it off and it then ran towards
and probably upon johnson. At this
time in some unexplainable way, the
gun went off, ard the load, which was
heavy, being an ounce and half of shot
in all, lodged in Johnson's arm and
shoulder. He suffered much loss of
blood before a physician arrived. DR..
P. B. Housekeeper, who was summoned,
found it necessary to amputate the arm
at the shoulder, which he did, assisted
by DR.. Clifford of Zion and DR.. Under
wood of North East. 1t was found nee
essary to remove piece of the shoulder
blade of the wounded man. The opera
ton, considering the weak state of the
man, was attended with considerable
danger and the physicians yet consider
his recovery very doubtful The unfor-
tunate man is about As years of age and
formerly resided near Perryvlle. He is
unmarried and has life insurance policy
of g., 600 and an accident insurance for
like amount.

The Poet Reads His Scholarly
Essay in the Hall.

When at precisely eight o'clock on Tues.
day evening last the curtain in odd Fellows
Hall was rolled up the eyes of the large
audience present met the figure of the ven
cradle poet-Walt Whitman. He sat in IA
great arm rocking chair by the side of a
table upon which stood a small reading
lamp. The poet was attired in his custo-
mary suit of Quaker gray, and with the ex.
ception of his paralysis was in good health
and spirits. To the many who had come
to the Hall with the expectation of seeing \
man in the prime of life step before the
footlights and deliver fiery Grafton of one
or two hours in length the lecture WIS a
disappointment, but to those who had the
good sense to previously acquaint them
selves, through the newspapers of Whit
mans age the character OF his lecture and
the style Of his delivery, the evening was
made decidedly enjoyable. Mr.. Whitman
read from the original MSS. of the lecture
which he has had bound between yellow
leathern covers. His manner was that of
the calm and composed philosopher who is
sattied with all about him and expects it
all to be satisfied with him. His voice still
retains that clearness and rotundity which
he acquired by constant practice in reading
Homer aloud along the seashore, and his
words bore with them an undertone of elo-
quence which does not Immediately thrill
the listeners but which produces impress
sions that will l;nger and not be forgotten
for many days. His description of the death
of Lincoln was graphic and intensely in
teresting and at that portion of his lecture
the attention of the audience was closely
held by the speaker. The reading of the
lecture and the poem, 90, Captain, My Cap
TAIN occupied less than an hour and were
received with little demonstration except
silent tokens of approval. The personality
of the pet was visible in every word aud
move and his appearance was noted by
those present as if they wished to carry al
ways with them in memory the picture of
the man and the occasion. While in Elk
ton the poet was the guest of L. G.. Reese,
Esq, and given a reception after the lecture
at the Howard House by the Pythian Jour
nalists Club.

THURSDAYS CONVENTION.


OWING To the small Number present II Is
Adjourned.
About 40 men gathered i'll the hail
here at 10 o clock Thursday morning in
answer to a call for a convention to dis
cuss the best temperance law for Cecil
county. The meeting would have been
much larger had it not been for the
storm. 1t is generally supposed that
those present were advocates of a high
license law. But little enthusiasm was
shown, and the meeting adjourned until
Saturday, the 18Th of February. DIR. r.
c. Mackall was elected president of the
convention, John >. Writ secretary, and
DR.. J ohm II. lamar treasurer. Messrs.
Mackall, Writ, Schouler and Waring
spoke, bnt no argument was made upon
any point. Tie following resolutions
were read and laid aside for discussion
at the adjourned meeting:
WHEREAS Ii is apparent that the law
recently enacted for the purpose of reg
ulating the sale of liquor in this county.
commonly known as the Local Option
Law" has not accomplished the purpose
for which it was enacted; and
WHEREAS, The experience Of the past.
both here and elsewhere, has demon
strated the impracticability of enforcing
laws which are not sustained by pnblic
opinion: therefore, be it
ReSolred, That it is the sense of this
that IA License Law, with Sc
we're penalties, restraints and safe guards,
affords the sure;t and best mea S OF
securing peace, good order and sobrety
of the people: aud be it further
Rfsolrtd. That in the framing of Ii
cense Law, regard should be had to the
restraint rather than to the encourage
ment OF the sale of ardent spirits, and
that the law should be 50 framed as to
guard the morals and habits of the
young, to afford protection to those who
from habit or otherwise are slaves to
their own appetites, and to make the
vendors of strong drink, and also the
owners of the houses or tenemcnts occu-
pied by them. responsible for all damage
caused by such sales. And be it
Resolred That the true principle of
Local Option demands that any amend
ment to the existing law, or any substi
tute that may be enacted in place there
of, should be submitted to the people for
their approval or rejection.

twelve members and the officers OF the
Pythlan Journalists Club and accom-
panied to the dining saloon of the How
ard House where it's worthy proprietor
had PREF AIRED for them tempting and
delicious feast. Mr.. Whitman seemed
to have revived from the solemnty of
his lecture Immediately after he became
humor was upon him. He was en-
throned at the right of the president of
the club who was POSTMASTER of the
evening. Ere the cloth was removed the
ceremony of toasting the distinguished
guest was begun The first toast was a
general oEe-Our Honored Visitor The
first to respond was Mr.. George John
ston, who nertly addressed the company
as follows:
Mr.. President and FelLo1 PythiotnS:-
l rise to do honor to our world-renowned
guest, the Homer of America, the cos
mopolitan poet OF the world, the origina-
tor of new style, the expounder of a
new philosophy, the orator of a new era
III the world of letters, which is as noble
as it is sublime. My fellow Pythians
let us be glad and rejoice that fate has
accorded US the privilege of doing honor
to one SO tar our superior, and let us be
thankful that we were the contemporaries
OF one whom future generations will re-
gard as the originator of the American
school of poetry, to have been pupils IN
which will have been regarded as the
highest honor possible to be conferred on
mortality.
This was followed by Mr.. Du Hamel
as below:
We meet a poet here tonight
At this our humble festal board.
Let's greet his noble face so bright
To all the joys that we afford,
Extending TO this noble lord
Right royal welcome here to night.
What foolish pleasures ere can give
Half OF the joy that we do live,
In Joining very heart and soul
To his, who has now reached goal
Made joyous with it's mede of fame.
And we do add brothers love.
Near may it dwell, as would dove
The general toast of the evening was
further responded to by the president of
the club in the following lines:
The rosy perfume of some flower,
The essence of some Eastern cline,
Are lowering over this glad hour
To make its moments seem sublime.

A STRICKEN TOWN.

Waterford, Wisconsin, Ravaged by
Strange Epidemic of ViruIent Typhoid
Type.
MILWAUKEE, Wis. July l2.-Advices
received late last night from Waterford,
a hamlet of five hundred people in Racine
County, just beyond the border OF Mil
waukee County, are that the strange dis
ease which made its appearance there a
few days ago is spreading. Two deaths
have occurred and six others are expected
momentarily. Forty people nave oee
stricken with virulent form and many
others with milder phase OF the malady.
The people are terror stricken ana Ihe
village is being rapidly deserted. Inc
stores are barred, the schools closed ana
surrounding towns have virtually quafah.
tined the place The State Board OF
Health yesterday made an investigation
and found the malady to be species OF
violent typhoid yer. Its attack pro,
duces delirium. 1t was introduced
into the village by a Milwaukee,
laborer named Huening, who went there
sick. Receptacles used by him were
washed at well where eighty chiidren
attending the Catholic parochlal scIooi
are wont to drink, and contaminated inc
