NEWS FROM NORRIsvILLE.

NoRRIsvILLE, Feb 23.-The extremely graf
flying and encouraging news has reached us
of the completion of the survey to Fawn
Grove of the proposed railroad from Delta
to that place. The line from Fawn Grove to
Stewartstown had been previously run. 1t is
To be sincerely hoped that the fate of the d.,
G. ~ 5. Railroad will not OVertake this enter
prise. A cross-country road connecting the
B. q l.. with the road from Stewartstown to
New Freedom, by way of Constitution, will
drain the entire upper portion of this county,
and will very evidently make handsome re-
turns to the capitalists investing in its stock
Many of the great natural resources of Har-
ford will be developed, and very much of the
produce which now finds an outlet only at
Stewartstown will seek the nearer points for
transportation which the proposed road will
furnish. 1t is natural that those who are now
stockholders in the Stewartstown road should
subscribe to the new road, as furnishing
source for greater revenue Apropos of the
subject, during the past week a much larger
number than usual of heavily loaded teams
passed through Norrisville on their way to
the railroad.
The new storehouse of the Strawbridge
Brothers is about finished. 1t fronts on Main
street, thirty-six feet, with a depth of forty
feet on Church street. The store room occu-
pies the corner, and is twenty feet by forty
feet. The building is two stories high, with a
large garnet story, and has covered porch
running along the entire front. Mr.. j. Owen
Amony was contractor and builder, and has
certainly proved himself master of his bust
ness by the manner in which he has carried
out his designs. The painting was done by
Enos s. Miller, stone work by Abram Baker
Il Bro. Strawbridge Bros. will take posses
sion on Monday, March Z, and the patrons of
the NOrrisville postoffice will thereafter get
their mail at the new store.
The fourth quarterly conference of the

elected as delegate, with Mr.. E. P. Robinson,
of Mt. Olivet, as alternate. Rev. j. l.. Elder
dice, NJ. D., was recalled as pastor.
An entertainment was held on Monday
evening at Dry Branch SchOolhouse. The
exercises consisted of dialogues, recitations,
vocal and instrumental music. Miss Mary V.

A PHANTOM PARTY.

UPPER Cross ROADS, Feb. 15.-It was a
weird and uncanny night they chose to as
semble in the broad parlors of Delmar, the
McComas mansion. Cold, grave-shadowed
moonlight swept everything outside, and the
quivering holly branch on the white walls
made ominous visions. At a seasonable hour,
with light tappings at secluded entrance the
ghostly visitants made their appearance
They were slim and broad, tall and short,
skipping, gliding hither and thither in the
dimly-lighted rooms, until it would seem
there was no place vacant. The white folds
of their floating drapery cleaned at times-at
times stark and upright, like the ghost in
Hamlet. Eventually sweet strains Of music
were heard from the dancing room. Behold
the spirits move, and now up and down, in
and out, the voiceless phantoms glide in fan
tastic shadows. The hour grows late. There
is sound of creaking, swaying branches in
the wind outside-and still the music enchants
these weird, silent dancers Ho ! now the
spell is broken. From the dining-room comes
the aroma of steaming coffee, a glimpse of
ham sandwiches and the rattle of china All
what have we here? A host of merry friends,
freed from their winding Sheets" surround
the board and compliment the smiling young
hostess's privilege of Leap Year.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.-The Grand
Jury having completed their labors, was dis
charged with the thanks of the Court on
Thursday Before adiourning they submitted
the following report:
To the Hon. James d. Walters, Associate Judge
of the Circuit Court for Hartford County:
The Grand Jurors for the February Term,
1892 submit the following report:
We have been in session fifteen days, have
examined one hundred and twenty-nne wit
nesses and found forty-seven true bills.
We visited the Jail, where we were politely
received and kindly entertained by the Sheriff,
and conducted by him through its several
apartments which we found in very dilapi-
dated condition. We found confined therein
seven prisonerS-fOur white and three cOlored
all males. The four white prisoners are held
for housebreaking and larceny; two of the
colored prisoners are held for larceny, one OF
whom has been tried at the present term of
court and convicted, and awaits sentence
one colored prisoner for murder, removed case
from Cecil county. All of the prisoners seemed
cheerful and were provided for. The Jail is as
clean and as comfortable as the surrounding
circumstances will admit of.
In conclusion, we desire to thank your
Honor and the other officers of the court for
your courtesy and valuable assistance rem
dered us while in session.
We have disposed of all the business apper-
tanning to our duties which has been brought
to our notice and ask to be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,

HAWKS AND ENGLISH SPARRows.-Last fall
Messrs. Hayward & Bartlett, of Baltimore,
purchased in Indiana 120 quail with which
they stocked their cunning farm, near Edge
wood. These birds have been almost entirely
destroyed by hawks. The latter are likewise
fond of English sparrows, but the sparrow
seldom frequents the haunts of the hawk,
preferring a more domestic life near houses
or in towns. This epicurean taste on the
part of the hawks is likely to lead to their ex-
termination on Messrs. Hayward & Bartletts
farm, at least. Seventy sparrows were snot
and placed as bats in small steel traps set on
poles five feet in height. In these traps
forty-seven of the marauders were caught
and summarily executed.
1t was mistaken philanthropy which
brought the English sparrow to our shores,
but the above suggests method of getting
rid of these troublesome pests, and also of
the hawks, which destroy not only game
birds, but our misunderstanding and sweet
songsters of the woods.
Another use was made of English sparrows
near Washington on Monday. Several hun
dred were captured and utilized as targets in
trap-shooting, i'll place of live and clay
pigeons.
