DR.. Bishop told us on Thursday
an egg story which will bear repiti-
ton and the gentleman who told it TO
him vouches for its truthfulness: Here
il is: A few weeks ago a Delaware
pullit laid an egg which in size com
pared with large goose egg. 1t was
such curiosity that the owner and
finder resolved to pick the shell and
empty the contents. He emptied out

fellow, who has just put his arm around
his girl and is giving her neat squeeze,
and turns lose the policemanic voice on
the calm night air with Break away,

sion as this, it is awful. If that active
policeman does not look out he is going
to get himself very much disliked.-

A special dispatch sent Thursday
night from Easton, Md, to the Balti-
more Sun, said: County Commission
er Joseph Brown OF Talbot, committed
suicide this morning by hanging HIM
self from a beam in his barn. A
fit Of insanity brought on
by i'll health, led to the deed. Recent
ly he had suffered two slight strokes of
paralysis. He had not met the board
Of county commissioners for two weeks.
This morning he ate breakfast with
his family, and two hours afterward
was found hanging dead in the barn.
Mr.. Brown was Delawarean by
birth, but had lived in Talbot county
a number of years, where he was en-
gagged in saw milling, agriculture and
other pursuits. He was elected county
commissioner in 1891.
A colored youth. about Is years
old, who had been bound out TO DIR.
Barber recently, was caught in the act
Of burglariously entering Quillen's
general merchandise store, at Harring-
ton, Thursday evening. He had
bored a hole in the store door and
thrust in his fingers for the purpose OF
sliding back the bolt, when he was
seized by some men who had secreted
in the store in anticipation
of his visit. While being taken to the
lookup he confessed that he had COM
mitted the numerous small burglaries
which have mystified the citizens Of

spend next winter in Jail and bave
good food than be compelled 10 work.
He had a penchant for stealing candy,
pocket knives and other cheap articles.
