JOS S. Pogue and ]. w. Hambleton
left Rising Sun last Friday for a trip to

The Oxford Fair and boss trot-no, the
boss trot and Fair-netted the company

did brag much about its Fairs, but you
muslin tramp on its coat tail in any other
enterprise.

The thorough bred horses from the
great racing stables of the country poured
thick and fast into Elkton this week.
The lovers of fine horses have an oppor-
tunity to view this breed of highly valued
horse flesh. They are not of much use
for anything but racing. Crossed with
cold blooded stock their offspring make
good, tough, serviceable animals.
Howard Brown, near Calvert, caught rs
cells in his turbine wheel, the largest
weighing pounds. The rain started the
fall run of eels down all the creeks on
their fall migration to salt water where
they spon. When the weather warns up
in the spring the little eels start on their
upward migration, and no obstacle in the
streams can stop them. They crawl up
the steepest dam breasts and move on
towards the source of fresh water streams
The natural history or habits of the eel
is something of puzzle to the scientists
and is not we'll understood.
