A Midnight Adventure is Cecil
County.

The Oxford Press is authority for the
following:
"a Lower Oxford stock dealer aud as
sistant had big time in Cecil county
Saturday night. They were driving
some cattle from Leslie, on the B. u o.
r. R., toward Oxford. They stopped at
Zion to see Constable Soul about cow
and calf he had belonging to them.
Some time ago the stockman missed the
calf from a bunch of cows he was then
driving near Bayview toward Oxford.
He met Scull and offered to sell him the
cow telling him her calf was lost in the
woods. Scull took the cow on two week S
trial, the animal to be paid for on condi
tons or return her aud be paid for his
trouble. Tue constable did So the calf
being found and put in his stable with
the cow. The officer was away Saturday
night and his wife said she did not know
whether her husband Intended buying
the COW and calf or returning them to
the owner This did not appear. to be
satisfactory to the dealer who got the
animals and drove them off with the rest
of his stock. Constable Scull returned
home so ne time after wards aud learning
of affairs set out after the drovers. He
came up with them and after discussing
the matter he gave his note for the cow
and calf two ueigh bors who happened
along going his security. This done the
constable coolly told the drovers he ar
rested them for driving of his stock. No
amount OF persuasion or promises of
bonus would induce the officer to change
his intentions. The party reluctantly
returned toward l. aslie and a hearing
was had about midn light before Squire
| Benjamin. His Ilonor's decision was in
| favor of the drovers, who once again
took up the line of march for home, ar
irving here about three O'Clock Sunday
morning very tired"

the threatening clouds aud assembled to
give this bright young band their first

nors Guards, Capt. Louis Green of
Annapolis will very likely swell the
number. The encampment will be big
one, and the probabilities are that it will

grand banquet will be given by the
officers of the Third Battalion to visiting

town; the Talbot County Guards or
Company G.. Capt. Edward Roberts of

The men will be assessed for a very
| moderate amount. They will he fed by

merly with Wanamaker of Philadelphi ia
at fifty cents per day per man. The menu
will lay way over that of Hagerstown.
The transportation will be by State
Steamers. Col. James l.. Woolford the
