Poles have or erspread the greatest
part of Long Island as farm laborers
Nothing but the dearth of native
workers has enabled them To do this,
for Long Island preserves that Yankee
sentiment which 50 long distinguished
New England from the more cosmo-
pOlitan parts Of the country. At
first the Poles came through as ped
dlers- They were frowned upon. but
they saw that farm labor was short
and they returned with fellow couu-
trymen, and. Offering their services at
a time when there was mu-h need Of
them. were employed 10 help in the

NOT THE MAN WELLS.
4 Case Of Mistaken Identity IN a
Tramp Confined to Our Jail.

Quite great deal of excitement has
been created here ID ,uts, by the sus-
picion becoming public property, that
the wayfarer applying to the Police
Justice last Saturday night for O night
lodging, was one Wells, wanted by
the authorizes of Baltimore and Car
roll counties on numerous charges
Telegrams were chasing each other
over the wires. and on Tuesday, Mr..
}. f.. Evans, the person whose place
OF business WAS entered by masked
robbers lone OF whom is incarceratedi 4
and the Others are at large), came to
this city aud examined the prisoner
with n view OF Identification, but found
no trace Of the man who is 80 badly
wanted that 81 600 has been offered for
his apprehension. Wells is represent
ed as dangerous man, who will stop
at nothing t. accomplish an end. 1t
is high time that the depredations to
which the people OF Baltimore and
other counties have been subjected,
should cease, ana an example should
b. made Of all implicated in the aft ir.
Wells was prisoner in the Westmins-
terjail, having been caught in the act
Of robbing store. He escaped from
Jail recently and is being eager ly
sought after. Mr.. A. s. Wells, OF

A Road Wanted.

Our Rocky Springs correspondent
sent us the following, dated January
2lst. which was omitted from last
weeks issue:
TIE road that has heen petitioned
for, that will commence at the inlet TO
what is known as the Kemp farm,
near the school house and church here,
and which leads through the Shook
lane to Shookstown, we hope will be
opened, as 1t is needed very badly. 1t
commences and leads through a sec
tion that is travelled very much. There
is no opposition to the road and it
would benefit numbers of people. 1t
will cost hardly anything to open it
and will cost less to Keep. 1t will be a
convenience that will be greatly ap-
precated by the community. We hope
that our County Commissioners will
grant the petition. The proposed site
of the road is now priv tie road,
which will make 1t that much easier to
open and along this road some very
fine farms are situated, and this road
being near the church and school
house, makes another point that should
be taken inlo consideration. The peo-
pie of Shookstown and Rocky Springs
want it, and doctors, preachers and all
say that it should be opened, and when
we see 80 many in favor of it we
cannot see why the Commissioners
shonld not grant it.

Cherry buds have been Injured, but
not to the extent that the peaches were.
Apricots have also been injured. There
