A WONDERFUL BARREL
Is Stolen in the Seventh District
Why Its Owner Desires
Its Return.

AWAY up in the Seventh district there is u
man who to-day is revelling in the possession
of a barrel of cider whereto he has no right
full claim or legal possession. The man
is a cider thief and his victim is Deputy
Clerk of the Court John S. Green, who re-
ports that several nights ago II big barrel of
good, sparkling, campagne-like, apple cider
was taken off his premises by party or
parties unknown. He states that he will be
satisfied if the person or persons guilty of
the theft will only lie fair and just and re-
turn the barrel The local detectives are
already pointing the finger OF suspicion in
the direction Of certain party OF the
ncighborhood who is known to have thirst
for the apple juice, which cannot even be
quenched by copious draughts of birthstone,
waterbenzine or salaratus. But Mr.. Green only
wants the barrel, as with it he will never
want cider, as that cask possesses charm
wonderful to relute. To it AlladdIns lamp
isn't IL circumstance; the cures of that
modern miracle worker, Schlatter, are not
comparable. and even Kellar with his presto
change tricks is distanced so far by the
barrel that to catch up would be task
difficult in the extreme. Water from Bill
Jones, we'll water from Basin Run, water
from the bounding Octoraro, when once it
Gets through the bung hole of that wonder
full cask is water no longer. As the blow
from the staff brought water from the rock
whereof we read in scripture, so II tap from
the hand of the owner of the cask brings
forth cider, and sparkling cider fit for the
table OF any hotel in the county. So it is
easily to be seen why Mr.. Green desires the
return Of the cider barrel. 1t is the goose
that lays the golden eggs and of course that
kind of poultry should roost at home.

spurs and whips were hung around the
walls, and here and there those emblems OF
the happy season, evergreens, were festooned
and punches of green arranged. Under the
hunting scene, ''The Meet at Blagdon," was
of course a pleasing view to the members of
the hunting club, and the trends of the cr-

the many exciting incidents of a chase after
the willy fox and the fun and sport often
enjoyed by the Elkton hunters. The front of
the gallery was also gaily decorated with
other pictures associated with the kennel
panel showing the heads of several hounds
and settlers and which like the hunt scene
was one Of delight to the rider after hounds.

ment and the company was most congenial.
The ball room scene was exceptionally
pretty and the costumes worn by the ladies
were exceedingly handsome.

NJ. Singerly, three miles below Elkton, where
two foxes were started. The foxes ran to-
gether for number of miles. and the riders
kept close, but the heavy wind interfered
very much with the pleasure Of the chase, as
1t was difficult to keep in sound of the hounds
and was rough. After separating, the foxes
made double circuit and were holed on the
farm of Mr.. William D. Sommers. "White
