About tifly of the large stock of finished carriages were saved and a small portion of the large stock of materials, i The loss is estimated at about $105,000, as near as can tie calculated, and the insur- ance will leave deficit of about $25, although it is impossible to got.

He then came to this place ami met Mr. Ed. Smith, who had met a rather suspicious-looking man about that morning with a horse and buggy near the brick yards west of town, and from bis description of the horse and buggy, Mr. Gorrell was satisfied that it was the same they were on the lookout for. All trace of it was lost, however, and what move to next make was hard to determine.

Telegrams were sent in various directions, and Mr. Jackson and Mr. Cooper, on Thursday, started in the direction of lower Delaware, intending to make a thorough search. Fifty dollars reward is offered by Mr. Jackson for information that will lead to the recovery of his property.

I'pon his arrival here he drew forth the hag to exhibit his queer fish when to his dismay he discovered that the bird bad tlown, or rather that the snapper had 1 eaten the bottom out of the hag and decamped out the rear end of the carriage. Of course all hopes of snapper soup at once vanished. The following day as Mr.

Henry of this town was driving home from Sassafras Nock he met iy large snapping turtle toiling along upon the road apparently making for Bohemia river a half mile or so distant. Mr. Wood kindly took up the tramp and gave him a ride the only change being that he brought him towards Elkton instead of taking him towards the river. When Uu man lied home he weighed i his prize and found it to tip the scale at jusi 27L, tbs, the exact weight of Mr. Ford's tisfi Th question now is is this last capture Mr.

SOMETHING NKW. As we were coming home from the plaines, by the way of the Sanctuary, we noticed a new plan of putting bells on I cows. The bell was attached to her tail instead of her neck. THK ROADS. The high wind and sunshine have made the roads so a man can travel in safety, except where the supervisors have hauled stone and put ou the road.

the present system there appears to be no i prospect of any change for the better, as 1 the same set of men find it a paying business to collect the money, for which i they return nothing in the way of repairs, I and there appears to me that there is but i one way in this section, at least, to escape from bad roads, namely: that the County lathers should discriminate against sandy eomplexioncd men as supervisors It appears to us if there is not a change in the system of mending i I roads, that the Commissioners will have to lay out new roads and the old ones for side ditches. Shakespeare. ITEMS. Our village is on the increase at last for the better, if all goes as commenced. We have a foundry in good working or- tier, and plenty to do, but we have not got houses for new comers, which is one bad fault.

We have under way one drug store, for Dr. G. M. Stump; double dwelling house for W. 11.

Cole: double house for foundry and a single house by Thomas Smeltzer. The widow of the lute.J. R. Barnard, is about contracting for a double house. There are also more spoken off'.

ELEVATED RAILROAD. While other places are speaking of elevated railroads, I find the W. A 8., have started one here. They have one running through the center of town. The railroads are disgracing our town, and they have had from 5 to 10 men working cutting and hauling sod off'of our corners, which is a disgrace to the place, but we cannot say much against the Railroad for they give every man work that wants it here.

STUNK CRUSHKR. Black A Whitestrong have got their stone crusher again under way, but cannot get stone enough to find out how many it will crush in a day. They are working 10 men and have crushed 23 car loads in one day. but either run out of stone or some other fault, that they cannot get a full ork done; but Mr. S.

Boyd, the manager, thinks he will get her in full blast next week, as they are only trying her. Ido not see how they can do any more, as one man is in the others road if they put on any more than 10 men to pick stone from one car. Well I have told you all the facts for this time. I' Hit, June 1 ISS2. E.

The Maryland Jubilee Singers. For some time past Prof. J. Pollard (colored), formerly leading tenor of the New Orleans Jubilee Singers, has been in Elkton busily engaged in the organization of a troupe which he has designated by the Title at the head of this item. The company consists of six persons besides the males and three females, young colored people, residents of this town.

The Professor has now succeeded in bringing his new company to such a state of proficiency as to warrant him in placing them before the public, ami the new organization will make its debut on Tuesday evening next at Odd Hall, bowing first to a home audience, generally the most difficult to please. The leader, however, feels perfectly confident of a success the first night, claiming for bis new combination even greater merit I than was possessed by the New Orleans Singers. The names of the. members of the i troupe will not he made public until the evening of the concert. The company will go from here to Newark, there to Wilinin ton, Philadelphia, and a tour of Ragland and Ohio, after which they will sail for Europe, where an extended campaign is mapped out for them.

Prof, Pollard, in addition to his duties as director I of the Jubilee Troupe, acts during his irav- tfis as agent tor the Mason A Hamlin organ. He carries with him strong letters of refer- 1 ence from leading citizens of all parts of The country, and no one need four any thing like I hum in connection with the above. We bespeak fur the new company a large i i audience upon Tuesday evening next. ot Thanks. The thanks of Pres well Post, No.

She will give her customers the advantage of this speciality, I I II I 1 The Reason Why, Mr. Editor hi yitur last issue of you ask what crime Dost committed that caused it to drop its name and be the only Dost in the Stale known by its number, Ac. There is a law of the Grand Army of the Re, public, that forbids any Dost to be named after a living man, and while it can be called after a living man, bear his name ou its banners, it cannot be so called or named in its charter, or in other words officially. Such is the reason for our Dost being known as No. 10 only.

When it was organized, and it is pardonable to say when the largest number of soldiers were present than for the last 10 years, it was decided unanimously that the name shoual bo left blank in the charter, and be know to us as Dost fNo. 10. We would be glad indeed to name our Dost: but we kill Mr. Creswell, nor do it while iie lives, which he bids fair to do for years, as we hope and pray he may. 1 This much, Mr.

Editor, we can say, that if a single member of Dost No. 10 stirvives him, his name will be inserted in the charter, and be officially known as ('res- well Post No. 10 as it is now known to us, and as Posts are now named for Generals Grant. Sheridan, Sherman, Hayes and others, being known by their numbers only, except to their members and in their immediate locality. Post No 10, G.
