TAINMENT.
PERRYvILLE. Jan. 3d, 1895.
The =. A. G. Association of Perryvil!2, is
now ia good running condition. The athletic
features are attracting the attention of some
of our oldest, and most respected citi-
zens. The club has been greatly encouraged
by donations from some of our citizens, in
sums OF 49, to aid in furnishing the necessary
equipment.
The ice harvest has at last begun, those
having small houses are filling, and those in
charge Of the large houses are making every
preparation to begin storage. 1t is soon to
be hoped that many who are now out of en-
ployment, will soon become engaged in earn
ing Il livelihood. The ice at this date mea-
sures inches, to 10 inches is required to
commence storing the large houses, those
wanting employment in few days need not
go idle.
The old red mill, known as the Frenchtown
mill, which has been standing idle for a num-
Der of years, is now temporarily used us "a
dwelling by IA family known as Tryge. This
property was purchased about three years
ago from the Abrahams estate by David
Hedges, of Port Deposit. There is also
belonging to this property IL comfortably
arranged dwelling occupied by Mr. Frank
Ni"hoI. who runs livery mt Port Deposit
This property has recently been conveyed by
Mr.. Hedges TO a lady Of Baltimore.
Charles Crawford, Of this place, while in
company with some other young men OF
Sunday last went or the river to try the
skating, the ice had every appearance of
strength, hut unfortunately the young man
ventured too far, the ice breaking and letting
him in. 1t was a very difficult matter for his
companions to save him. he remained in the
water fully 20 minutes before he was rescued
The eldest son of Vendine Owens saved his
life, by securing and reaching the drowning
man he was brought to shore and taken to
his home, where the work of resuscitation
was necessary before the young man could
be restored to consciousness.
The Sunday School entertainment of the
Presbyterian Church was held on last Satur-
day evening. The speaking, and vocal and
instrumental music were well rendered. A
beautiful Christmas tree was decorated in the
most artistic style. The scholars were all
treated to candies and oranges. This portion
of the programme was especially Interesting
to the children, and also afforded much plea
sure to the superintendent and officers of the
school to see the little ones enjoy themselves
1t is very evident that Mr.. Wright. the super
intendant, takes great pleasure in making
thinks pleasant for the school. The evening
was delightfully."- spent by all present.
In large cities, and also in some of our
more adjacent towns, it is Il noticeable fea-
ture, that there is in these places some special
attention given by the town ordinances relu-
tive to the removal of all distractions from
the sidewalks; special laws are enforced with
regard to the clearing away Of snow and ice,
and also the running Of bicycles as IA public
nuisance on the sidewalks. How long will
our prosperous little town continued to remain
behind the times A little attention given to
this matter will no doubt secure the acquie-
scence Of all those who are opposed to
