Fall of a Meteor.

A story comes from Milwaukee,
Wis. that q meteor has fallen in that
country. The story reads in this 70.
mantle way:
People in the vicinity of Grafton,
Ozaukee county, are very much ex-
cited over the fall of meteor near
that place. While party of harvest
ers were at work one afternoon in a
barley field on the farm of Henry
Diedrick, a mile and half south of
the village, they were suddenly start
led by loud and strange sounding
noise not unlike the roar of long
train of ears. The noise increased
in volume to such degree, during
the space of only a few seconds as
to become almo st deafening. The un-
usual sound seemed to come from
.he heavens, AMI, gazing upward, the
spectators saw what appeared to he a
huge ball of smoke rapidly descend.
ing to the earth. What they took to
be strange visitor from some neigh
boring world was meteor. 1t
struck the earth within few rods of
where the men were standing, and
buried itself deep in the ground.
The news spread rapidly throughout
the township and county, since which
time Mr.. Diedrick's barley field has
been visited by hundreds of people,
including many scient fl, men. The
hole in the ground is three or four
feet in circumference. It's depth is
unknown, al attempts to find bot
ton by inserting long POLES having it
is said, proved futile. MIR. Diedrick
Is now engaged in excavating the
earth around the spot where the met
cor lies Embedded, and intends to
bring the latter to the surface if it
takes all summer.

ACanoe Club.

Six young men, members of Ca
noe club of Harrisburg, Pa. landed
on The island, opposite Port Deposit
on Sunday morning.
They had navigated in their light
canoes from Harrisburg, coming
down the river and canal, and pro-
pose padding round the Bay to Bal.
timore, thence down the bay to the
capes and up the coast to the Della.
ware bay and ascend the Schuylkill
to Reading, if their frail boats did
not give out before completing this
long voyage. The canoes were made
of canvas, and so constructed as to
be proof against sinking. The boats
were covered over, with only room
enough for the voyager to sit and
ply his paddle. They slept in their
boats which had tonnage capacity tor
carrying four days provisions in ad.
dition to the creaU which constituted
captain mate and seamen all in one.
The young men were dressed in tight
knee breeches. their uniform having
a hall cut sailor rig appearance.
Reading was the nearest point to
home that they could make by water,
from which place they will finish the
balance of the trip by cars, providing
their frail barks do not give out be.
fore the voyage is completed. There
are numerous contrivances for killing
time. This is one of the latest alb
surdities.

The New B. & o. in Cecil.

The Democrat publishes a list of
stations laid out on the new B. & 0
railroad from the Schuylkill to Balti-
timore. The following are in this coun.
ty and their distance from Elkton
and other we'll known points will en-.
able our readers to locate them:
Viking. which is near the junction
of the road leading from Elkton to
Cowantown and the railroad, is four
and one.eight miles from Elkton, and
about mile and half south of Cow
antown.
Marley is about quarter of a mile
. south of the well-known paper mill
OF that name, on the Little Elk creek.
Singerly, which is at the point
where the rail- DAD crosses the Elkton
and Cherry Hill road, is two and sew.
en-eights miles from Elkton, and il
the nearest station on the new road
to this town.
Elder is at the junction of the rail
road and the public road leading from
Elkton to Mechanics Valley. 1t is SC
called as a compliment to our towns
man, William H. Elder. who owns q
farm at that place. Mr.. Elder has
been offered the agency of the com
pany at that place, and holds the
matter under consideration.
Childs is at the junction of the road
leading from North East to Bay View
and is about two miles north of the
former place.
Whitaker is near the Principle iron
works.
For the present one freight train
each day will be run. with extras
whenever required. Work on some
of the station houses has been com.
menced, but it is impossible to say
when the road will be opened for
passenger traffic.

Fell from q Telegraph Pole.

William Gully whose home was at
Rowlandville, fell from a telegraph
pole in Washington, D. G. on Tues.
day last and was killed. The de-
ceased was lineman in the employ
of the Western Union Company. He
fell distance of 80 feet and was al
most instantly killed. When Gully
climbed to the top of the pole it was
so rotton that it gave way, precipitat-
ing him to the ground, portion of
the pole going with him. He was
about thirty years of age. His re-
mains were sent home to Rowland
Vile on Wednesday.

A good big bull dog is handy
thing to have about the house. John
Wade, a farmer living in the 4th dis
trict had one Of this kind, which was
q terror to the neighborhood. One
evening when his master was enter.
ing the yard gate. the dog was lying
in wait for him, and sprang upon
him, knocking him down and tearing
the flesh from his hands and arms.
His wife and daughter came to the
rescue with clubs and beat the dog
of, which afterward tried to get in at
the window to renew the work SO
we'll begun. The neighbors hearing
the screams of the family, came to
the rescue and shot the dog. If any
person is to be torn to pieces by such
brutes, the man who keeps them is
the right party to commence on.
Mr.. E. p. Passmore is home again
from quite an extended trip through
Ohio and northern New York. where
he has been establishing agencies for
the Warning Fertilizer Company.
There are hundreds of fertilizer man
ufactories between this part of the
country and those agencies. but one
of the inconceivable mysteries Of
trade is to 60 from home to supply
it's wants. Aside from the superior
merits of the Waring Company's pro-
ducts, there is an inclination in peo-
pie to HINT up strange markets to
buy in. The Ohio people will neglect
the phosphates manufactured at their
own door to buy of the strange pro.
duct made among the green hills of
Cecil county, and the farmers of
Cecil will ship car loads of fertilizers
from they don't know where, conceit-
ing it is better than the same article
manufactured within a mile of home.
And so the world runs.

A Nice Garden.

Being at Mr.. Job Haines mill the
other day, Mrs. Todd, whose husband
Mr.. Evan Todd has charge of the
mill, invited US to look at her garden.
Mrs. Todd feels a just pride in her
fine garden, and finds much pleasure
as well as profit in its cultivation.
All of the early vegetables were in
abundance, with sugar corn fit for
the table. We noticed some very
fine cabbages and inquired how she
managed to keep them clear of the
worms. and the answer was. Hand
pick them every other day. In the
old countries of Europe where in
sects devour orchards and gardens
if left to their own sweet pleasure.
hand picking is said to be the princi.
pal means of saving the crops.
Mrs. Todd is not alone an amateu.
er vegetable gardener, but has a
a flower garden filled with choice
plants, which show by their perfect
development, the educated skill
which directs and watches over their
growth.
Her love of this work is the an,
swer to her gratifying success. Who
50 loveth the work shall succeed
therein, might be placed among the
maxims of the wise man.

The Game of .uearts.,

Says the Washington correspondent OF the
Boston T,areller: For the past two years
''poker'' has been the fashionable game of
cards among the more rapid society bellies
here. Since Congress opened, however,
'poker'' has been given back seat. The
fashionable game now is ''hearts." 1t Is
played something after this fashion: All of
The cards are dealt and played to follow
suit; at the end Of the game each person
holding "bearts'' in his hand must pay
certain price per card TO the party who has
succeeded in getting rid Of his. The game
is much quicker than "poker,n and is quite
as expensive. Those who play it well say
that success Is won by dlsposing OF the
higher cards of the suits 'llearts" parties
are now the proper thing, and, judging
from tue manner in which the game has
'caueht on,n it would seem as though it
will be the fashionable amusement for n
quiet evenings entertainment.

DANES, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page.
From the first appearance of Mr.. Charles
Fisher as the good-natured and amiahle

the main attention, and there was In his
portrayal of the character everything that
was clever, Ada Rehan as Mistress Ford
and Virginia Dreher MS Mistress Pqgo gave
the performance all the contrasting color of
pure womanliness that it needed. james
Lewis was the Slender and John Drew an
admirable Iraacis Ford. The two charac-
tiers of iSir HUgh E'iuHs and Doctor Gains
were performed by Charles lie Clercq and
William Gilbert, and the famous duel scene
could not have been better given. AaRe
Page was portrayed by Edith Kingdom, who
was as demurc and bewitching as ever. The
house was filed by one Of the largest and
most fashionable llrst-n!ght audiences OF
the season.
