Exciting Runaway.

Miss Lena Hopkins had very exciting
ride last Wednesday afternoon. She had
accompanied DR.. A. c.. Crothers on his
rounds and was seated in the carriage
while the Doctor was attending patient
at Mr.. Edward Browns near Jenness mills.
The horse was tied and while shaking
flies off its head caught the bride in the
fence pulling it entirely off. Miss Hop
kins grabbed the lines as soon as the
horse started but was not able to quiet it.
They dashed out of the yard across field
and into woods with the Doctor and
some ladies in hot pursust but the horse
proved to be the best runner. Miss Hop
kins showed her good sense by setting
perfectly still until the carriage collided
with some trees and parted company with
the horse when she alighted. The only
damage done was to the carriage and
harness which were badly brokenu The
horse escaped with a few scratches. Mr..
Brown kindly..loaned the Doctor another
team in which they returned.-R0rt De-

White Caps at Fair Hill.

On last Friday night a whipping
took place which belongs to the
White Cap category of crimes.
Several days prior to the event
narrated below, William Carnish,
aged 60 years, insulted Mabel
Anderson, year old child of a
prosperous farmer, and Mr.. Ander-
son went to Elkton and consulted
the states attorney about having
Carnish arrested. He was informed
that as no violence was committed
he could not be arrested.
The father returned, and when it
became known to the neighbors
that Carnish could not be arrested
the citizens took it upon themselves
to punish the offender. All the
farmers for several miles around
came into town about dark, and,
going to the home of Carnish, took
him into field and there gave him
a good threshing. The citizens
that composed the mob were all
well known to Carnish. The latter
was severely whipped, and, it is
said, that his cries could be heard
for considerable distance.
The states attorney can have a
tangible case now to take hold of.

The hard times have caused the
well known optical firm of Queen
& Co., of Phila., to go to the wall.
The firm was established in 1858
and made an assignment Wednes-
day last.
j. s. Pogue & Son sold at their
auction sale of carriages last Satur-
day, s new carriages ranging in
price from $50 to $12O; and s second
hand carriages ranging from $15 to
$45. Several sets of harness were
also disposed of at the same time.
On the 10Th inst, the firm will
have a closing out sale when all the
finished stock on hand will be sold
The Wing entertains many grains
of doubt about the building of the
Elkton, Middletown and Massey's
railroad, which means we infer in
the opinion of the Wing that the
much locating and condemning of
lands is only a bluff against the
Elkton and Southern. 1t was our
opinion, expressed when the recent
movement commenced that the en-
terprise of building new railroads
under present depressed conditions
was of doubtful expediency.
Several petty robberies have
occurred along the line of the BALTIC.
Central r. R. lately. Last Satur-
day night entrance was effected at
Colora station and 81 cents, razor
and coat were secured, besides three
express packages being broken
open. The same evening the sta
ton at Rowlandville was broken
into but the haul was even less,
only satchel and trunk being
opened and the contents left. The
following evening the marauder
was frightened away while trying
to force an entrance into the station
at Liberty Grove.

The tea cloths oftenest seen now

The tea cloths oftenest seen now
are what are called petal cloths. A
loose bunch of roses or nasturtiums
or carnations or any flower with a
large petal is embroidered in one
corner as if carelessly thrown down
and from it, scattered all over the
cloth, the loosened petals have
carelessly blown.
On the tea table, too, now more
than formerly, is seen the little
china tete-a-tete sets, usually on a
matching china tray. The little
hot water kettle, the tea caddy and
spoon and the gay cozy give enough
variety to the furnishings to keep
the china Of one kind.

in Elkton who are in want of the neces-
saries of life. This used only to occur i'll

through the entire year. The same

SYmpathY.

We can be angels to one another in
showing sympathy. Sympathy is, in
its inmost essence, the response OF
feeling, the answer of thought to
thought; and, thus understood, its
effects are akin to those we have just
considered. Weakness of belief, as we
say, is born of loneliness, but is over
come by communion; and in like man.
ner the spirit gathers strength from
sympathy. sympathy cures. 1t can
calm passion, soothe sorrow, and
charm even bodily pain away. 1t is
good for the headache and the heart
ache. 1t comforts the child, encourages
the youth, heartens the toiler, and
smooths the last stages of the aged.
1t is the angel who never dies, and
whose word never ceases. "Arise and
eat, for the journey is too great for
thee."-Detroit Free Press
