SATURDAY, JANUARY 2S, 1893
A Dry Sunday.

Last Sunday has probably been
the dryest day in this town since
the Sunday Law was placed on
our statutes. Several of our IL
quor dealers were before the court
which is now in session for viola
ton of the Sunday law, but as
they have consented to sign q
pledge never 10 violate the law
again, the District Attorney has
withdrawn the charges, but he has
instructed the Sheriff, in case any
of them would violate their pledge
and open their business on Sun
day to arrest and Jail the offender
and close his establishment. This
is the reason, the only reason why
the shops were kept closed last
Sunday to the great disappoint-
ment and inconvenience of the fire.
quenters of the saloons.
There are a few of those who
always get loaded on Sundays,
who felt mighty dry and would
have paid good price for little
of the liquor to soak their throats,
but the stuff was not to be had.
In consequence of this, we saw nc
drunkards on our streets last Sun
day, although there was large
crowds of people on the streets, in
fact, they were all on the streets,
none were inside-the saloons of
course-but they hanged around
just the same, satisfying them
selves for this time with the smell, |
through the cracks of the OPEN
ings, of the desired, but unobtain-
able whisky.
Those who can hardly do with
out an occasional drink say they
will prepare for the next Sunday
by buying a supply of the yellow
grog on Saturday, and will leisure
ly enjoy the Intoxicating effect of
liquor, without going into the sa-
looms, they say if we cannot 60 in
on Sunday we can take a supply
out on Saturday. We may, there
fore, expect to see some of the ha-
bituees full of whiskey tomorrow,
tor they will surely have a days
supply on hand.
The proprietors of the saloons
ire somewhat concerned at this
urn of affairs, as the Sunday was
worth more to them than the
Whole week, it will reduce their
eceipts to fully one half, which is
a serious blow to their
business. u; while it INJURIES

aspect the law are very satisfied

The art of making needless was
kept secret until, about 1850,
when it was taught to the English
by Christopher Greening. Now
English needles are sold all over
the world. At Redditch alone
10000 people make more than
lOO,OOO,OOO needles a year, and
they are made and exported SO
cheaply that England has no rival
In this country and practically
monopolizes the trade. Formerly
matchmaking annually killed tens
of thousands of the workers by
the particles of steel being inhal-
ed, but now a blast of air
from the grindstone has done
away with all of this, and the &C.
cupation has become quite safe.
The most interesting part of nee
dle-making is the drilling of the
eyes. 1t is said that experts can
perforate a hair and thread it with
itself. Although Great Britain
makes the ordinary needles for
Americans, the latter, in their
turn, make nearly all the sewing
machine needles. The National
Needle Company, at Springfield,
Mass, annually makes 10000, 900
needles.-O. N. Republi-

Now who is there VINO does not feel all
the better aud work all the better after
having day of recreation, holiday?
What day is there that is a more natural
holiday than Forepaugh Day? When
ever these Great Shows come to city
every body wants to see them. They are
first class aud standard always.
So if any Of the readers of this paper
are thinking OF going OF the excursions
which will be run on all lines OF travel to
Baltimore when the Adam Forspaugh
Shows exhibit there on April 2G and 81
and they don't want to 90 if they are 60
ing to be disappointed in what they
expect they will see they can set their
minds az rest on that score at least.
There is an extraordinary Involvement
to everybody aud especially those who
have any patriotic feelings to visit the
Forepaugh Shows this year, because they
will present not only all the standard
features of the circus menagere museum
and hippodrome, but they will also give
a superb representation Of the
"sCENEs AND BATTLES OF t77G-THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
This is beyond all question the most
ambitious exhibitions ever attempted. It
is intended to exactly reproduce the
most important events in the ever
memorable struggle for American free
dom. To make it as realistic as possible
enormous stretches of scenery are used;
the nearly 1000 characters are all COS
TUNED accurately and some OF the COS
tunes are really the originals worn by
the characters represented. The battles
of Bunker Hill Concord Monmouth.
Yorktown, the Inauguration OF Wash
ington. Paul Rsvere's Ride, the Tearing
Down of the Statue OF George the Ill,
are almost fait hfully reproduced, givihg
to the spectator thrilling entertainment
and at the same time accurate instruction
in lis country's history.
This great feature of the shows is tho
one great novelty, but such rare things
as the boxing X kangaroo; Earl the trottipg
dog; the largest and smallest female
elephants in the world; the world famous
Seven Gerome Brothers, the worlds
greatest acrobats, the sensation OF all
Europe and seen for the first time in
America should not be forgotten. Great
indeed. may the Adam Forepaugh Shows

The novel spectacle of horse crossing
the Susqu, hanna bridge was witnessed at

owned by Mr.. Washington Lynch OF this
county and was ridden by him TO Perry

threw its rider and dashed down the tracks
OF the Philadelphia. Wilmington and Bal,
timore railroad toward the bridge, which 1t
crossed in its mad run - far as the draw,
on the plank walk eighteen inches
in width laid between the tracks.
AT the draw it was stopped by the bridge
tender who led the frightened animal 10
Havre de Grace, the walk being too narrow
to allow of the borse being turned around.
The bridge is seveu-eights Of a mile III

between the cross ties, This is no doubt
the only case of its kind on record.
