A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with very severe cold that
caused him TO be in a most miserable
condition. 1t was undoubtedly bad
case of lagrippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took immediate steps TO
bring about speedy cure. From the
advertisements OF Chamberlain S Cough
Remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we con-
cluded to make first trial of the med
icine. To say that it was satisfactory
in its results, is putting it very mildly,
indeed. 1t acted like magic and the
result was speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recon-
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
to any one afflicted with cough or
cold in any form.-The Banner of

Crop Bulletin

The weekly crop bulletin of the department
of Agriculture for Maryland and Delaware
under date of April 81, is as follows-
The weather conditions in Eastern Mary
land and Delaware were generally favorable
especially for powing and seeding. There
was an abundance of sunshine and no rain
worthy of mention. The first few days were
abnormaly cold, and one county, Worcester
experienced frosts four nights in succession,
while ice formed Monday and Tuesday nights.
Frosts were general on the mornings of the
Goth and 21st, causing considerable injury to
early vegetables and fruit, especially peaches
and strawberries. The temperature increased
rapidly during the latter part of the week,
summer heat prevailing at the close. Corn
planting is well advanced; peas are growing
rapidly, as are all early vegetables. Wheat
continues very promising and is growing
fast Farmers are well up with their work.

JOINTS FLEW OUT.
A Remarkable Anatomical Exhibition in
ElktOn.

Applying that thought of Pope's in Il
physical way-"the proper study of mankind
is mana number of the prominent citizens
of Elkton, through the courtesy OF DR.. Harry
L. Clemson. viewed phenomenal exhibition
of physical and muscular control at his Office
on Main street on Wednesday evening, in
which Mr. Harry Fitzgerald, known among
professional men as the'' Anatomical Wonder
gave number of exhibitions Of his remark
able powers, and lent additional proof to the
fact that man is n study, verify.
From his early childhold Mr. Fitzgerald
has possessed the power of being able to
disocate the joints of his body at will, and
twitch the skin of his face and neck to such a
remarkable degree that his case has become
renowned. illustrations of himself and his
performances being seen in the leading medi-
cal books. DR.. Clemson while attending the
Maryland University Medical School, in
Baltimore, first saw Mr.. Fitzgerald at clinic
there, and it was throu gh his pstrumentality
that he came to Elkton to give this exhibition
In appearance Mr. Fitzgerald is the ordi-
nary man. we'll developed muscularly. He is
fifty. four years Of age stands five feet five and
half, and weighs one hundred and forty eight
pounds. Ills exhibitions are in style purely
professional, and in no way take on the char
acteristic of the dime museum. From Il
course Of study in anatomy he is able through
the progress of his exhibition to point out and
explain the dsocations, and which muscles
and tendons are brought into play. Possibly
his best demonstration was the dislocation of
both thighs and ankle joints at the same time.
The dislocating of the ankle joints he accom-
pished with his hands but in throwing the
hip joints out of place only muscular power
was brought into requisitiou. Another sur
prising feat was the dislocating of the arm in
three places. at the shoulder elbow and
wrist. the joints flying back with loud
crack. Some. parts of the exhibition greatly
affected several of his audience, all Of whom
however took the deepest interest in the per-
formance. one of the most grOtesque feats
of his was the dislocation of the shoulder
blades and their twisting around so as TO
stand out from the body like wings. SPRING
ing the bones of the leg Mr.. Fitzgerald could
with ease move the knee cap from side to
side. In one of the exhibitions OF the arm
the biceps was apparently split so that one
could place his fingers between it and touch
the bone.
The value Of Mr.. Fitzgerad's powers and
exhibitions to science is very valuable in
demonstrating the forms of dislocation to
medical classes and he makes the appearing
before clinics his profession. He has been
engaged in this work thirty one years, but
said to the WHIG reporter that his age was
becoming too advance to allow of his continu
ing his performances much longer.
He is phenomenal and his exhibition in
Elkton was rema rkable and unusual.

Before the Magistrate.

George Jennings, colored, was hauled up
before Justice Phil. Groves on Wednesday
morning, on complaint of w. J. Green. who
charged him with assault and using profane
and indecent language. Jennings pleaded
guilty to the latter charge, but the case of
assault was not p.oven. He was fined 81
and costs, and the coin ratified in the treasury
box.
Magistrate Philip Groves Office on North
street, was veritable little Italy yesterday,
Friday morning, and the way the Italian
tongue was operated there was surprising.
An interpreter was needed to straigbten out
the words of the Cavas and the Fernicies, of
near Elkton, who We're there in goodly num-
Der with their friends to line up strongly

and the Fernicies. Antonio and Kate, had
been arrested upon the charge OF assault. 1t
seems that Mrs. Potts had refused Kate
Fernicie the privilege of getting water from
her we'll with which to quench the thirst of
both herself and her Antonio. Kate however
did go back to the well, when like in history
the crock got broken, in that Il quarrel arose.
when the Cavas appeared on the scene
Annie threw stone at Mrs. Potts. After
two hours of translation and various other
proceedings Mrs Potts decided to withdraw
the charge, and little Italy emerged from the

Why look-two bicycle clubs were organized
in Elkton, this week, and where there is unity
there is strength. Where there is smoke there
surely is fire. Two bicycle clubs-in the
bloom of youth-strong and girdled for
action, ready to fight for their rights. ready
to battle for good roads, for protection.
Why, the fact is that the bicyclists have mufe
clubs than the politicians, and the latter Iced
look out or the bicyclists will speed right by
them, elect representatives to the Legisla-
ture to secure better roads; elect Il State Sem
ator to look out for the personal rights of
wheelmen and wheelwomen: elect a States
Attorney to look out that the bicycle laws are
enforced in Cecil county; elect Clerk of the
Court to look out that all indictments against
trespassers on the bicycle paths are promptly
recorded; elect n Sheriff to look out that all
offenders against bicyclists are locked up in
jail; and, in fact, elect the whole ticket
County Commissioners, who make the roads,
and all the other officers. The Cincher, while
at present too poor to buy wheel, hopes
that some dealer may see fit to send him one,
and take it out in advertisiug-because it be-
hooves him to "get in line There is no walk
