The Oldest son ofJohn Miller who is
tenant on the Bowers estute, met with
an accident on Saturday last, which re-
suited in the breaking of leg. The
boy was playing near bench on an old
porch, when the roof was blown down
by the high wind, and had it not been
that the bench broke the fall of the tim
bers the accident might have proven ia
tai.
-Messrs. Chas. G. Crothers, and l.
Hester Hess, attorneys-at-law, of Elkton
Md, feeling in need of exercise one after
noon last week, started out for a walk,
and so absorbed were they with the
scenery ofthe country, that they never
halted in their journey until this town
was reached. While here they paid a
call to an old friend of Falstaflian pro-
portions, who entertained the gentlemen
of law with vivid stories of a former pos
tai route agent.
Prof. Richie of Wilmington formed
class in instrumental music, in Caskey
Hall, on Friday night of last week. The
weather was very disagreeable, but the
turn out was flattering. He was out on
Wednesday night of this werk, and il
was again stormy. The class was much
larger than on the first night, and it is
to be hoped the numbers will increase
each week, and eventually we will have
an orchestra in the town that all will be
proud of. The class will meet again on
Friday night Of next week. Let there bea
larger number of scholars.
AT Caskey Hall for two weeks be-
ginning this Saturday evening Mr.. Charles
Wetherill Brewster, will give course of
Illuatrated Lectures on Bible subjects.
For the most part these Lectures are FREQ
to ladies and gentleman, but on each.
Thursday evening special subject will
be presented for which an admittance
fec will be charged to defray the ex-
penses of the other nights. These Lee
lures are more particularly for nom
church goers, but invite your friends in
the country us well as at home and go
the first night and see some handsome
pictures For full particulars see the large
posters in store windows and postoffice.
Turning season opened in this
State Monday last. There were lots of
gunners and brag dogs. The day was a
little blustry, but the gunners thought
they could find game. They started ear
ly and staid late, but game was scarce.
One or two energetic sportsmen walked
miles and miles, and frequently Smiled"
at a leather covered package, but nary Il
partridge or rabbit One addressing the
other; 81 say, them fellows lied to US
when they said game was so thick that
you could not walk without falling over
it," "Well I'll be blamed if they didn't"
The only thing they captured was lot of
turnips. Game is certainly scarce in this
section. Some of the Peninsula papers
report game as plentiful.
