An Old Book.

Charles B. Cox, who recently sold out
and gave up his residence in Lower
Oxford, where he had lived for many
years, has preserved an old book which
has been of much interest and value tc
him. It is entitled the "Citizen and
Countryman' Experienced Farrier," and
contains over 800 pages of approved
Receipts for the Cure of Horses and
Cattle" The collator and author of the
work is John Mills, whose work is ap
proved in the following manner as sci
forth at the beginning of the book:
1--WE whose names are hereunto an
nexed have by an appointed meeting al

by John Mills, and are of opinion that il
will be of great service to the public il

The racing gentlemen who have
been barred out of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Virginia are
coming into Maryland from every
quarter like buzzards gathering to
carrion, and opening race tracks,
where they propose running night
and day. And this racing, gambl-
ing, picking pockets, pool selling,
etc., is all done under the broad
skirts of the farmers, who have
been made stalking horses and
their Agricultural Associations
used as a tool by these organized
gambling crowds. The immense
reforms the Republican party was
going to inaugurate are only visible
in more race courses. Honest old
party voters, what do you think of
these corrupt old politicians any
how? Every yoper among them
is in favor of horse racing, pool
selling and their accompanying
vices of the bankers plan of "sound
money" one dollar to buy two
bushels of wheat, and dead against
silver, the poor mans money
throughout the world. Ponder the
situation for the next. six months
and feel yourselves. Endeavor to
ascertain whether you are wage,
ten cents day, slaves or not.
The sham law which was a pre-
tense to prevent horse racing in
Maryland is law in fact to encour-
age it, and our farmer legislature
which promised to repeal it let it
remain on the statute books just as
the gamblers had it placed there.

Opening Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's New Delaware River
Bridge. Inauguration of All
Rail Train Service to the
GaaShOrA

The new Delaware River Bridge of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will be
opened to travel by the Inauguration of
through passenger train service from
Broad Street Station to Atlantic City,
commencing Sunday, April 10Th, 1896.
A morning express train will leave
Broad Street Station daily at 9o5 a. M,
after arrival of the night express trains
from all portions of the Pennsylvania
Railroad system, and arrive at Atlantic
City at 1855 a. NJ.
An afternoon express train will leave
Broad Street Station daily at p. M, and
arrive at Atlantic City at $50 p. III. This
train will connect with the Day Express
and Nam Line Express from all points in
Pennsylvania and the West and North,
and the train leaving Washington at 3.I5
p. IN. and Baltimore at 4.2o p. m.
Returning, morning train will leave
Atlantic City daily at 10. 10 a. m, arriving
at Broad Street Station at II 81 a. M,

All ofthese trains will carry parlor cars.
An extra fare of twenty-five cents will
be charged in each direction on trains via
the Delaware River Bridge, in connection
with tickets good via Market Street Ferry,
Philadelphia.
By the opening of this new all-rail route
to the seashore the transfer of passengers
and baggage through Philadelphia will be
avoided, and, as will be seen BY the con
nections given above, the territory from
which passengers can reach Atlantic City
in daylight journey has been extended
in every direction-to Pittsburg, Buffsio,
Danville, and Norfolk, Va.

tuberculosis State Veterinarian
Finds the Disease Prevailing
in Chester County,
i'm Chester County

1t is said that tuberculosis pre-,
walls again to considerable extent
among cattle in Chester county, the
State Veterinary having been busy
of late examining herds in several
sections, some of them being in the
vicinity of West Grove, the names
of the owners Of which are being
kept quiet for fear of creating a
scare throughout the respective
communities. In one herd in Biz
mingham Township, consisting of
eighty head, forty-six had to be
killed. The limit allowed by the
State for common cattle condemned
and killed is $25 per head, hence
it is probable that this farmer will
be paid in the neighborhood of
81, 900 damages upon the recon-
mendation of the State Board. The
bodies of the cattle which will be
put to death will be shipped to a
phosphate factory in Philadelphia
and ground into fertilizer.
At the suggestion of Joseph
Marley, who owns a herd of four
teen cows, DIR. NJ. Z. Conard was
called in, two or three weeks ago,
to examine the animals for tuber-
colosis. The latter applied the
tuberculine test, nine of which re-
sponded, were condemned, killed,
and sent to a Philadelphia phos
phate factory, in compensation for
which Mr.. Marley received a check
for 1925. DR.. Conard acted for the
State in this particular instance.
