Progressing Backward.


Snyder county has for the last few
years made advances in intellect anl
progress hardly equalled by any
county in the State. This may not
have been noticed so much by us at
home as it is commented upon by
persons residing in other counties,
who are pleased to recognize the
truth and are willing to give us cred
it for what we are doing. This is
probably more noticeable to outsiders
because they alleged we had farther
to go to reach a general average than
some of our neighboring counties.
We are getting there all the same
unless our progress is checked by
unforeseen difficulties. One of these
difficulties we are now called upon
to face. 1t is nothing less than ad-
verse legislation in the way of re-
storing 18th century laws through
the influence of politicians to fulfill
pledges made during their canvass.

strong and pig-tight" fences we are
to have by special act of Assembly
The general law for the State, pre-.
sented by Senator Meek of the
Centre -Clearfield district has fallen,
as it should, and now Snyder county
is to be returned to the Mideval
ages by stocking the highways with
horses, cows, mules, pigs, etc.
The worst of it is, the people are
mislead by the title of the bill. We
are all in favor of raising horses,
mules, etc, on the farms, but we are
not in favor of raising them on the
highways. The question is moi

In a popular restaurant the other day
at lunch took up what supposed was
saltbox to sprinkle my roast beef and
was startled by the sudden exclamation
of the waiter, That's sugar." This led
to a conversation in which the waiter
said that in an establishment where he
had been employed an old gentleman
came in regularly at least three times a
week and ordered a sirloin steak well
broiled, upon which he always poured a
liberal portion Of New Orleans molasscs.
Another waiter said that on one occa.
sion young man had ordered powdered
sugar and two dozen oysters and that
he had literally sprinkled the sugar on
the oysters before he ate them. A com
panion accompanied him and watched
the performance, and the waiter said he
believed 1t was the result of a bet.

The people who live along the water

products which command a higher
price in Crisfield than in the markets
