bration at New Orleans, lady from

was not forgetful of the fact that it was
near the time for the March drawing of

membering that she was then in for
tunes very household, the home of the
lottery company, she invested 81 in a
lottery ticket, which she brought back
to Galveston. almost forgetting its pos
session among her many pleasant recol-
lections of the trip. The drawing came,
and it was not until several days after
that she bethought herself Of her ticket,
and having her attention directed to the
matter she, upon examination, discov-
cred that she held one-twentieth of tick
ct No. 10,420, which drew the second
capital prize of 100000, thus emitting
her to $1,000. The ticket was prompt
ly casbed through the banking house of
Adoue & Lobit of this city, being paid
over to Mr.. Nichols as the rep esenta-
tive of the fortunate lady.

Stealing.

Our genial friend of the Cecil
Democrat has fallen among thieves,
not unlike that poor fellow who was
taking moonlight strole down to
Jericho, and they have stripped him
of his editorial treasures. First one
mighty thief for bigness called the
New York World stole one of his
finest jewels; end next confederate
in Towson purloined more of his
property, and pawned it to certain
gentlemen who had set up shop for
dealing in that kind of goods, in
Chestertown. Now, General, don't
mind these little annoyances, but
treat them like uncle Toby did the
fly. Tell them "there is room emo
ugh in this world for you and me.

hard on that last word. And if your
big revenge still has stomach for
more and would see them commit
suicide. quote Shakespeare to them.

trash, IT'S mine tbs his, etc. This is
the way to get revenge.

Rumor of a New Railroad.

The people of Conowingo, Md,
and vicinity are, says our informant,
talking about the possibilities of q
new railroad at that place. Such
conversation is based on recent
visit some Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad officials made to Conowingo
and inspected the big bridge, The
visitors had an audience with James
c. Bell, President of the bridge CON-
pany. and on departing they had, it
is said, named price for the struc-
ture which spans the river. The
object is to build a road to connect
with the new Deer Greek & Susque-
hanna Railroad in Hartford county,
now in course of construction, and
the Lancaster & Quarryville Branch
of tae P. & R. r. r. The proposed
route is up the valley of the Como
wingo creek. which rises in the north.
ern part of Drumore township, Lam
caster county, and ON to New Proyi.
dencc, which will be made a JUNCTION
by connection with the Lancaster &
Quarryville Railroad. From Como.
wingo to New Providence the dis
lance is Is miles. The new road, if
it takes this route, will cross that
important feeder to the business of
Oxford, the Peach Bottom Railroad,
not far from Fulton House; a glance
at the map shows that it must cross
the existing road somewhere. A
railroad meeting to discuss the pro.
ject will be held at Wakefield this
week. The author of this will
wager money that the road will be
built. The atmosphere of northern
Cecil and Hartford counties and
southern Lancaster county is charged
with railroad movements. Can the
merchants of Oxford read anything
between these lines?
The above railroad prognostics
were gathered by the Oxford Press
this week. They serve one purpose,
at least. The story will Brighten the
Oxford folks; but we feel very
skeptical about carrying out such a
project. Why should the parties
purchase the Conowingo bridge? 1t
would have to be torn down and re-
built from the bottom of the river to
make structure strong enough for a
railroad bridge.

The present capacity of his works,
Mr.. McDeyitt Informed US, was go tons
of scrap per week; four per cent of this
is tin, which he moulds into ingots
ready for market. He is making con-
tracts with the factories where cans

will be limited only by the amount of
scrap he can obtain. At present from
fifteen to twenty hands are employed.

Death of Charles H. Tosh.

Charles Fl. Tosh, son of Loosen
and Anne Tosh. died at his home a
short distance west of Harrisvillc, on
Monday evening last, about 8 o'clock
He had been sick for two weeks
but not apparently seriously ill till
three days before his death, which
resulted from an attack of pneumo O.
mia. The news of his untimely death
was sad announcement to large
circle of warm friends which touched
every class of society, the young, the
middle aged and the old. Possessing
bright, intelligent mind much above
the average, he was an ornament to
society and general favorite with all
whom he became acquainted. But
this charming nature and bright in,
tellect were welded to very frail
body that too readily succumbed to
the rude shock of disease. Had his
physical powers possessed sufficient
strength and vitality to carry him
forward to ripper years of an advance
ed manhood, his bright intellect and
genial nature could not have failed
to have been of immense value TO
society he adorned and the genera
ton to which he belonged, and in
his early death they suffer CORES
ponding loss. His funeral took
place on Thursday last. and his re-
mains were deposited in West Not.
tinghan Presbyterian Cemetery, of
which Church he was a member.
