GOrtOn'S MinStrelS.
Secretary.

Enlarged and extended in all its branches
from season to season, Gorton's performance
now, in its entirety, undoubtedly approaches
nearer to the genuine minstrel entertainment
than any other company now travelling It
has aptly been termed "The ideal assemblage
all that is true, original and refined in min
strelsy up to date" Among the very many
concessions made to modern innovation must
be prominently mentioned the stage setting
for the first part. AS the curtain rises the
stage is discovered set completely and elabor-
ately with massive draped curtains of creme,
satin and plush add to this the entire
company in full evening dress, together with
the contrast of the gold band instruments
against the silken curtains and you have the
picture. An evening of refined fun in genu-
inc minstrelsy follows. Elkton, Thursday,
November 81. Reserve seats: SO cents at
Wells Drug Store. General-admission 35 cts.

A Good Cause.

Three years ago the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Cecilton took up a
department of temperance work known as
the kindergarten branch, and solicited money
fruit canned and preserved, apples, vege-
tables, apples and secondhand clothing.
The kindergarten is a free school in Balti-
more, No. 8 South Gay Street. where kind
Christian ladies take little children from the
slums, alleys and courts and from homes of
wretchedness and teach them habits of clean
illness, industry and honesty in fact, every
thing that would go to make up u good
christian character. At twelve o'clock each
day they give them good warm dinner and
as all this is done gratuitously Theyneed help
to carry it on. There seems to be II growing
interect in the neglected little ones by the
people of this community. The past summer
there were twelve of them brought to Cecil
ton and found homes with kind friends in
and around the town. They were so
that every lady, with one or two
exceptions, wants them back next summer.
Owing to the scarcity of money this fall, we
did not ask for any. Four friends gave
enough to pay freight: Miss Augusta Magee.
Mr.. II. Mccoy, S. W. Mcgill and Il. h. Smith.
The following are the list of those that
contributed: Mrs. Charles Robertson, Mrs.

No 224, sOuthbound. Tho engineer of the
oncominS train could not see the train in his
way until he had rounded the wide curve $50
yards east of the station. He reversed his
engine aud blew for brakes but the momen-
tum of the train could not be overcome in
that distance and seeing that crash was
inevitable he and the fireman jumped. The
WAY freight engineer reversed his engine but
had not time to run his train back. He and
his fireman jumped. The locomotives tele-
scopcd and the force of the collision drove
the way freight back seventy-iive yards, oppo-
site the freight station. When the engines
stopped the cans of the extra freight telc-
scOpcd. An empty express car and Il loaded

from Wilmington and Perryvile cleared in
several hours. The telescoped ears were
taken to Wilmington i'll that shape trucks
having been put under them. The box car
next to the engine contained two horses
which escaped injury, the ear coming through
the wreck intact.

An Interesting Paper.

Mr.. George w. Clifford, of Zion, exhibited
at the WHIG office on Monday, an interest
ing legal paper pertaining to the early land
records of Cecil county. The paper was the
land patent of John Gather TO Prospect Hill,
n property of 109 acres situated near Prin-

bore the signature of Alexander Carter Han
the State TO Gather. 1t was rectangular
piece Of parchment 11x7 inches and to which
hung the seal of the State as medallion,
81 9 inches in diameter.
The seal was unique and in itself is a
curiosity. On both sides paper had been laid
on the disc of wax which was then placed in
the press and the imprint of the seal made.
The diverse side was the State seal with the
inscription "Fatti Maschii Parole Femme"
and the reverse bore the stamp of an armored
knight mounted on prancing charger.
The property remained in the possession of
Mr.. Gather until 1850 when it was conveyed
by him to William Bryson, who owned it
until 1854, when it was purchased by Ben
amin Clifford, father of George w. Clifford.
The executors of Benjamin Giiford-George
W. Clifford, Dr. d. L. Clifford. w. r. b. r.
Robertson-sold the property at public sale
on September II last, it being purchased by
Henry G. Mcdowell, whose wife is a daughter
of the late Benjamin Clifford. He resides on
the property which is still known us Prospect
Hill, the name given it in the patent. Mr..
George w. Clifford transferred the paper to
Mr. Mcdowell on Monday.
