any large boxes of holly at the de-
pots, and the bustling attitude of. L. |
Welch, and Esquire Ellegood, who box
and ship wreaths, and from every in.
coming train large specimens of mistle- |
toe and cedar for Christmas trees, tell
of the great christian festal day. The
demand for these things for decoration
was never greater, and every household
will surely be beautified during the hOl-
idays. All other interests appear to
have been laid aside by the women and
children for miles around, and their
time devoted to making wreaths and
holiday decorations.
The prosperous times have made all
skilled labor scarce. and every man who
can push a saw, drive a nail or square
joint is in demand as a full-hedged
carpenter.
A barn and stable is being built on
D. G. Lekites' property.
A saw mill has been purchased by
Mr.. Laundry. and located on his tract
of land recently purchased from the
Farmers Bank, and a new building for
it is in process Of construction. He ex-
poets to enlarge his stave business very
soon.
Edward Carpenter, with the aid of
workmen from Redden, is hustling up
a new house.
The handsome homes of S. E. Reed
and Esquire ElegoOd, have been re-
painted by Baltimore firm. They are
by far the handsomest homes in Ellen
dale now. Other property owners now
have an object lesson to pattern from.
The house and lot of the late Siua
Warren, was sold Tuesday to Alexan-
der Warren, her son. for $500. This is a
small 4-room house, cheaply built, and
only the demand for homes caused it to
bring the price.
d. H. Warren met with painful ac-
cident last Monday while working a
saw in their factory His right hand
was badly cut, and DIR. Samson dressed
the wound
John Marker, who lived on the Isaac
/. Belts farm, has this week moved into
Glendale, and took position on the

Joseph Fisher, son of S. G. Fisher, and

This will let you out. 1t Is the key

canoe. That's about the best Il can
do"
I did the rest easier than I thought.
.(The movements of the dingey have
already been told, and the events that
fol.owed the escape.)
I was quite lost, at first, when i got
on shore; but, I did not care, 8 long as
I was free. / was In France. I knew
that much, and after a steep path
soon hit on a road cleaning white and
moment debating which way I should
turn, eastward or westward, my object
being to reach some town or place on q
line Of railway. whether by walking to
itortaking aSvehicle. AS soon as / came
upon a milestone 1 strucHA match and
read the legend. IN the directio I was
going Lamballe was distant kilot-
meters, and behind me the road led tc

It was clearly to Lamballe, moi

at cafe doors. and l took my place al

In arranging my plan. Fortunately j

easy. I found that a train, left at 6: &c
a. m. for Paris, the longest. yet the
quickest route. to Southampton. j
could catch the night express at Hayre
and be in Southampton at daylight. BY
this I should have a couple of hours OF
more in Paris. enough to buy necessar-
les and make a considerable change in
my appearance; for 1 was resolved te
take this passage incog. and in the fore
cabin, where should attract no at
