A dog belonging to Mr.. William I. Lee,

on Saturday. 1t came to Elkton and bit
more thar IL dozen dogs. The rabd animal
was killed by Mr.. \. p. Shockley. The
owners of several of the dogs refused to kill
them claiming either that they were not
bitten or that the dog belonging to Mr.. Lee
was not mad. The Town Commissioners at
a special meeting on Monday ordered that
all dogs not I.uZZied should be captured
and killed.
An engine and four freight cars loaded
with stock were wrecked in front of the P,
w. * Il. depot at Perryville aboutsfour
o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The track
men had taken out a rail and neglected to
send fiagman out a sufficient distance to
stop the train. Both tracks were blocked
for several hours. There was but little de-
lay in travel, however, as tracks in the yard
back of the station were used. The accident
occurred only few hundred feet from the
Susquehanns bridge.

The report comes from one of the rail-
way postal clerks on the p, w. & b. rail-
road that live kitten was several days ago
mailed from one of the offices along the
line and put by the stupid postmaster from
whose office it went in catcher pouch,
which is caught by a peculiar contrivance
as the train is speeding along at so miles
an hour. 1t is needless to says that poor
kitty didn't survive long the shock. The
postal clerk, in emptying the bag, which he
had just taken in on the fly, heard faint,
plaintive sort of cry at the bottom of the
| bag. He put in lis hand, and, to his
great astonisnment, pulled out cat giving
It's last expiring groan. 1t was put back in
its box, which then became its coffin, and
| forwarded to its destination. The postal
agent once before found nest of mice in
some mail matter and supposes that the
kitten was after the mice.
DIR. c. NJ. Ellis had a narrow scape
! from an ugly accident on Wednesday after
noon at the Bow street crossing of the rail
road. AS he was driving TO the fair grounds
noticing DR.. Roman on the sidewalk he
turned II speak TO him and before he knew
where he was he found himself right upon
the railroad gate which was down to allow
| a freight train TO pass. The train was NOV
ing slowly but the engine reached the gate,
| frightening his horse, which turning too
| suddenly was thrown to the ground. BY
| the time the doctor was out of the carriage
his horse had in its struggle got upon its
| feet managing to get one of the SHAFTS be
| tween its fore legs The doctor sustained
no injury and the horse escaped with few
| scratches. As fair time is at hand, when
| an unusual number of carriages will be
| crossing the railroad tracks, there is a sug-
| gestion in this incident to be careful and
not drive 100 close to a railroad crossing
when you see the gate is down.
Last Sunday morning the Rev. L. E.
Barrett, pastor of st. Paurs Nj. E..
Church, Wilmington preached apowerful
sermon from the words: "She has chosen
the good part, which shall not be taken
away from her.

shaking hands with the congregation.
Among them was good old lady who
had given particular attention TO the
words of the speaker. She however, did
| not rncnnniza Nj. Rarrett when he rasn.
