Thanksgiving day—Thursday, November 26th—is a legal holiday, made so by act of the Legislature. There will be “right smart” of moving around the Court House before the end of the present month.

Mr. George Kephart, of the 4th district, this season raised nine barrels of corn to the acre, or 225 barrels on 25 acres. The winter schedule of the Maryland Cen- tral road will go into effect next Sunday. See time table in our advertising columns. Robert 0. Wallis, who was at one time in the employ of the Maryland Central road, is now a brakeman on the Northern Central. Mr. Samuel Hopkins, of Harford, lately lost two horses from a disease called paralysis of the tongue. This is something altogether new. Mr. Edward N. Rich, a member of the Bal- timore county bar, was on Tuesday admitted to practice in the Court of Appeals, at Annapolis. Up to last Monday 700 ducks had been killed at Grace’s Quarter, the famous ducking point owned by Col. Wilmot Johnson, in the 12th district. A party of “shack” sportsmen from Balti- more, where gunning in the vicinity of- Herring Run last Monday, and shot and killed a full- grown fox. Mr. Charles Hamilton, the Waverly florist, received a number of premiums at the chrysan- themum show held in Oratorio Hall, Baltimore, last week. Hon. Michael Bannon, treasurer of Anne Arundel county, who adopted the Baltimore coun- ty plan of collecting taxes, finds that it works very satisfactorily. John F. Staylor, well known in Baltimore county, and who for many years carried on the butchering business in Baltimore, died on Monday last, aged 60 years. A pitch-shed attached to Geo. Brehm s brewery, on the Belair road, was destroyed by fire on Friday afternoon of last week. Losb about $500; no insurance. A Towsontown gentleman who was out partridge shooting near Watervale, M. C. R. R., one day last week, started up eight rabbits with- in a distance of half a mile. Messrs. Arthur A Burton, carriage build- ers, have removed from White Hall, Baltimore eounty, to Fork, having purchased the shops of Mr. E. A. Gorsuch at the latter place. The Union office has turned out a large number of sale posters this week, business in that line being unusually brisk for the season. Our handbills never fail to give satisfaction. The Baltimore county delegation to the next Legislature have already selected their seats. They are very eligible ones and are the same as those occupied by the delegation of ISB4. There are fourteen persons connected in one way or another with the County Clerk’s office. A majority of these will have to Beek employ- ment elsewhere when the new Clerk goes in. The Maryland State Farmer’s Association will hold its annual meeting on the 13th of Jan- uary, 1886. Every organization of farmers throughout the State is requested to send a dele- gate. ’Tis now the modern Winkle seeks for game, Where piping quail and frisky rabbits run, And at each shot in wonder doth exclaim, “What? missed again? What ails the pesky gun ?” Rev. Watson Case, pastor of the M. E. Church, Towsontown, will conduct services in his church at 11 o’clock on Thanksgiving morning, when he will deliver a sermon suitable to the occasion. Mr. G. Stengle, a progressive trucker and canner of the 12th district, put np the past sea- son 155,000 cans of corn and tomatoes. Ho has already sold some of the latter at very satisfacto- ry prices. A large number of improvements are in progress in the vicinity of St. Dennis, 13th dis- trict. Many dwellings have been erected during the past simmer, some of them costing at least $7,000 each. The public school at Woodberry, taught by Mr. R. C. McGinn, has now 357 pupils upon the roll, with a daily average attendance of about 300. This school is now much larger than it has ever been before. The executive committee of the Harford Fire Insurance Company has passed an order al- lowing Mr. Richard F. Harkins $2,750, amount of insurance on his store and stock destroyed by fire some time ago. Mr. Joseph Tracey, of the sth district, who will be deputy under Sheriff Miller, moved his family to Towsontown on Wednesday and occu- pies the house of Mr. Clarence W. McMaster, on Allegany evenue. administration were granted to Sarah C. Stocks- dale on the personal estate of Charles W. Stocks- dale, and to Caleb C. Carman on tho estate of Caleb Carman, deceased. When Mr. Miller, tho newly-elected Sher- iff, took charge of the jail he found a family of about twenty-five prisoners to provide for. When Sheriff Knight took charge there were nine- teen prisoners to look after. The following citizens of Baltimore county have been drawn to serve as petit jurors at the November term of the U. S. Circuit Court: C. J. R. Thorpe, 3d district; John Bond, Bth district, and August Dumer, 12th district. John W. Shanklin, Esq., the newly-elected Clerk of the Court, is one of the road commission- ers for the 9th district. He will resign before assuming the duties of his new office, and there are several applicants for the place. The County Commissioners have appoint- ed George H. Baker a member of the county po- lice force, vice Charles Raimold, deceased. They also appointed Charles Burton captain, and Frank Mahr driver of Engine Company No. 6. The next regular meeting of Baltimore County Grange will be held at Gorsuch Hall, Bth district, commencing December Ist and contin uing two days. Visitors will bo the guests of Glencoe Grange, and a pleasant time is anticipa- ted. The newly-elected county offioers who have patronage to bestow have been having a lively time since the election. A very large number of persons want places and of oourse there will be at least a dozen disappointments for every ap- pointment. The monthly statement of County Treas- urer Schone for October shows cash on hand Sep- tember 30th, $69,635.61; receipts during the month, including balance, $86,298.72 ; disburse- ments, $22,188.03 ; balance on hand October 31st, $64,110.19. The announcement by one of the county papers last week that Mr. Phil. L. Moore bad been appointed clerk by Mr. S. V. Miller, the newly-elected Sheriff, was premature. That po- sition has been given to Mr. Jos. B. Mitchell, of Towsontown. The three-year old pacer “Belton,” owned by Samuel Jester, of Queen Anne’s county, was sold a few days ago to John F. Goodwin, one of the Commissioners of that county, for $1,300. In a recent trial at Herring Run oourse this oolt paced a mile in 2:32. Peter F. Casey, who formerly ran the stage line on the Harford road between Belair and Bal- timore, and who now is a resident of Jackson- ville, Florida, was married on 24th ult., to Miss Alice V. Grover, daughter of Mr. Grafton Grover, of Baltimore county. Mr. Wesley S. Perine is the Towsontown lamp-lighter and has acceptably performed his duties. Anticipating a change under the new Board of County Commissioners, a number of ap- plicants are after the place and are pressing their “olaims” with much vigor. Col. Samuel N. Hyde has commenced the erection of a fine residence upon the site of the old Hale dwelling, west of the railroad. The lo- cation is a beautiful one, commanding a view of nearly the whole of Long GreenValley. Mr. Al- fred H. Shriver has the contract. Mr. U. F. Causey, keeper of the toll-gate on the York turnpike, near Timonium, has not yet recovered the money ($220) which was Btolen from his bed-room. The suspicious characters who were seen in the neighborhood before the robbery, have not since been found. The Knights of tho Golden Eagle bad a parade in Woodberry on Wednesday night, at- tracting much attention. A large number of Knights from Baltimore participated and were afterwards handsomely entertained at Roland Hall by Windsor Cnstle, of Woodberry. Dr. James Simons, a retired U. S. Army surgeon, died in Baltimore on Wednesday, in the 69th year of his age. His first wife, who died some years ago, was a daughter of Mr. Lambert Gittings. Mr. Rogers Bailey, of Green Spring Valley, married a daughter of the deceased. Rev. Father Duggan, who was until re- cently pastor of the Catholic Church at Hamp- den, Falls road, took oharge of St. Pius’ Church, Baltimore, a few days ago and will preach his first sermon next Sunday. He has entirely re- covered from the effects of his recent illness. On Friday night of last week a horse was stolon from Mr. D. A. Clark’s place, on Roland avenue, near Notre Dame station, but the next morning the animal was baok in the yard, cover- ed with mud and sweat. It is supposed he got away from the thief and returned to his home. Revival sorvioes have for some timo been in progress in the chapel on Royer’s Hill, near Oak street, in the Belt, conducted by Rev. J. F. Goucher and other ministers. The attendance is very large every night and the alter is crowded. Many persons have already professed conversion. The Elkridge Club had a fine run last Sat- urday, starting from the 7-mile House, Hooks- town road. The huntsmen followed the dogs for over an hour and finally the fox was denned. Af- ter the chase the huntsmen partook of luncheon at the residence of Mr. McHenry, near Pikesville. Rev. James M. Maxwell, of Baltimore, who has been called to the pastorate of Chestnut Grove Presbyterian Church, Sweet Air, will re- side in the city during the winter, employing his spare time in religious literary work. He will preach at Chestnut Grove every Sunday, however. Scarcely a train passes up or down the Maryland Central road but what some one points out from the car windows to some one else the sycamore tree near the jail, upon which the col- ored boy Howard Cooper, was lynched, and which stands as a mute witness of that ghastly mid-night tragedy. A fine buck escaped from Druid Hill Park last Sunday and dashed into tho city, where he made things lively for a time. He jumped into a tailor shop, through the large" window, and af- ter escaping from there ran down to the dock and plunged into the water. He was captured while swimming in the basin. John W. Shanklin, Esq., the newly-elect- ed Clerk of the Circuit Court, is expected to take charge of his office about the 20th inst. It is be- lieved that most of his appointments have already been fixed, although they have not yet been made public. It is quite safe to predict that there will be very nearly a clean sweep. A man named John H. Force was arrested by the county police a few days ago on the charge of having stolen a horse and sulky from Shroier’s brewery, on the Belair road. The team was the property of Joseph Butt, of Baltimore. It was recovered and Force, who told a crooked story about the transaction, was committed. Mr. Harry Phipps has been appointed keeper of the York road toll-gate in Towsontown, in place of Mr. James Slioridan, who was obliged to give it up on account of failing health. The turnpike company is fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Phipps, as it would have been dif- ficult to find a better man for tho place. ers will retain the present efficient force of clerks in their office, viz : Mr. John Crowther, Jr., chief clerk and auditor, and Messrs. C. P. Laurenson and Miohael F. Connor, assistants. All are well known and greatly esteemed and their retention will give general satisfaction to the people of tho county. The total number of registered voters in Baltimore county, as shown by the last registra- tion, is 17,926, or an increase of 326 over thereg- istration of 1884. The total vote cast at the late election was about 13,500, or a little over 4,500 less than the registered vote of the county, llow many of these were Republican and how many Democratic ? The female spinners in the Union Cotton factory, Ist district, refused to go to work on 6th inst., unless their wages were raised to sl6 per month, and the mills shut down, pending a set- tlemcnt of the difficulty. They were receiving sl4 per month. It was afterwards learned that the strike was incited by three young women who were discharged. The funeral of Mr. John Merryman, of Hayfields, who died at Atlanta, Ga., on 3d inst., took place at Sherwood P. E. Church, Cockeys ville, on Friday of last week and was very large- ly attended. The pall-bearers wero Messrs. B. McLean Hardisty, A. T. Love, T. C. Blair, W. S. G. Williams, Wm. R. Hoff, George Hoff, Joshua F. Cockey, Jr., and Thomas 11. Ridgely. At a meeting of the Water Board on Mon- day the City Solicitor submitted a written opin- ion as to the power of the Board to construct a road at Lake Roland, in connection with other property-owners in the vicinity, setting forth that it would be necessary to obtain the authority of the City Council before doing so. This is the avenue to which The Uniox referred last week. Among the hundreds of rumors current here this week with reference to the new appoint- ments in the Court House, one was to the effect that Dr. Ilebb, the newly-elected Treasurer, would retain Mr. Oscar Johnson in his office and that his chief clerk would be Mr. R. Bruce Hook, of the 2d district. Mr. Hook is a civil engineer and was engaged on the Gunpowder water works. He is well known here and very popular. At one of the voting places in the 12th dis- trict at the late election, there was some conten- tion as to the time the polls should open. Some said the hour was 8 o’clock and others said it was 9. Finally the opinion of one of the judges, who said 9 o’clock was the hour, prevailed, and the voting did not commence in that precinct until one hour after the time prescribed by law. That judge should be furnished hereafter with a large- sized copy of tho law and also with a leather medal as a badge of stupidity. A Strange Cattle Disease.—A few days ago the fine Jersey cow “Princess,” belonging to Col. E. H. Webster’s herd, was killed. The cow had been suffering from a disease called “hovon,” and as there was no possibility of her getting well, she was put out of her misery. A post- mortem upon the body demonstrated unmistaka- bly the presenco of the strange disease. She had been surgically treated for abnormal distension of tho stomach, suoh as is incident to the over-eating of green food. The post-mortem showed that the inner lining of the stomach was completely dried out. There was an entire absence of gastrio juices, and there were large masses of hay or other dry food in the stomach. A well-informed correspondent eends us the fol- lowing upon the above subject: Editors Union: —A ease of “hoven,” reported in the papers, with a valuable Jersey belonging to Col. Edwin H. Webster, and which terminated fatally after the swelling of the stomach had been relieved several times by puncturing, will no doubt cause general attention. I had lately a similar ease with a Jersey heifer, which was effectually relieved by a simple remedy. The heifer was found in the morning swollen and in much pain, when a drench of a pint of linseed oil was given, whioh soon caused active action of the bowels and by night full relief. This remedy is no doubt available for a cure in the early stage of the disease only and it is therefore necessary to give the drench with as little delay as possible after the swelling becomes apparent. The remedy, if not effective in all cases of the kind, is harmless. Subscriber. SchoolBoard Meeting.—The County School Board met on Tuesday, Nov. 10th, all the mem- bers present and Mr. O. R. Benson in the chair. No one appearing against C. W. Price, teacher of school 6, district 8, who was alleged to have been engaged in a fight at the county fair, the charge against him was dismissed. Bills amounting to $1,729.87 wore passed and payment ordered. Mr. Rankin reported the completion of the re- pairs on school 5, district 10. The total cost of the improvement was $776.65. Being supported by proper vouchers the report was accepted. Mr. Clark reported the completion of school 1, district 9, on Oak street, built from a special ap- propriation by act of the Legislature. The total cost of the house and lot, not including furniture, was $14,485.08. All being supported by proper vouchers the report was accepted. This school is now in full operation and numbers 300 pupils. The secretary submitted the annual report of the schools for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1885. The report was accepted and 1,200 oopies ordered to be printed at the lowest possi- ble cost. The Board adjourned to meet Wednesday, No- vember 18th. ’Twas Ever Thus.— The Winter days are near at hand When silently through all the land The snow will fall; Its dazzliDg whiteness all around Will drift above the frozen ground, Deep over all. Then the younglover haste will mako, And in a narrow cutter take His girl a ride. And she will laugh, blithe and jocose, Beneath the buffalo snuggled close Up to his side. Meanwhile at home his aged fath- Er will, to shovel out a path, The drifts attack; And while Love holds the youth in thrall, The poor old man at home will al- Most break his back. Sheriff Miller Sworn In.— Mr. Silas V. Miller, the new Sheriff, was sworn in on Friday, and received his commission, and at once entered upon the duties of his office. He appointed Mr. Joseph B. Mitchell, clerk. Mr. Mitchell has had many years’ experience in tho Clerk’s office and was also Register of Wills of the eounty. His dep- uties are Mr. Joseph Tracey, of the sth district, and Mr. Wm. M. Risteau, of the 9th district. His bondsmen are Messrs. John G. Miller. Benjamin Gorsuch, Joshua F. Benson and Henry W. B. Ashe. The penalty of the bond is $25,000. Petition Piled.—A petition has been filed with the County Commissioners signed by about 150 residents of the first district, askiDg that gas be substituted for the gasoline lamps now in use on Frederick avenue, between Baltimore city and Hilton avenue. Warren, Bth District. —ltocently the man- agement of the factory at this plaoe has under- gone a change. Mr. R. Gladfelter, who has been its manager for several years, has resigned and reqpoved with his family to Woodberry, his former residence. Mr. Anderson, of Baltimore, has be- come his successor and has already entered upon his duties, and the business in all its branches is moving forward as satisfactorily as heretofore. Quite a number of houses, that have long re- mained unocoupied, are now undergoing needed ropairs, much of the plastoring having fallen off from dampness and long standing, and threaten- ing by oracks and fissures muoh more to follow. Mr. Joshua Johnson, plasterer, is now engaged in putting them in proper order and thoy will bo ready for occupancy at an early day. Wheat fields have assumed a luxuriant appear- ance. The warm weathor of the past few days, accompanied with genial showers, have infused now life and vigor, giving promise of a good stand before the advent of winter, with its usual severi- ties. The mortality in this seotion within the past three months has been unusually large and appall- ing. Eight persons, ranging from ohildhood to old age, have been deposited in Poplar Cemetery, most of whom having fallen viotims, after short illness, to those dreaded maladies, typhoid and diphtheria. Our Sunday school has somewhat diminished in point of numbers. Too many parents pay little regard to the moral and religious welfare of their children. If they go to Sabbath school, well and good; or if they roam over the fields and woods 'tis all the same; or if thoy saunter along the banks of the Gunpowder, or take the streets for their education, all is seemingly passed over as a Sabbath properly spent and without due reproof or proper admonition. U. Rossville, 12th District.—The revival meet- ing at Orem’s M. E. Church, whioh closed on last Sunday, resulted in the conversion of about ten persons, mostly Sunday school scholars. Mr. Wm. Merritt has removed from near Mid- dle river to a farm near Mt. Carmel Cemetery, Canton. Mr. Wesley Jacobs has located at Stemmer’sRun. Mrs. Lonberger, wife of Rev. John Lonberger, hos returned recently from Europe, much pleased with her visit. Mr. John Fitoh, who is one of our most experi- enced and successful farmers, has attained the age of 80, and for one of his years is quite active. He rides horse-back and goes to mill with the boys occasionally. He is living on the farm owned by his late father and on which he was born. A part of the dwelling house was built over 100 years ago. Mr. Fitch is a progressive man and avails himself of modern improvements in hus- bandry, and yet he believes in proving new methods and holding fast to the old that are good; hence ho still saves fodder and builds the fodder house in the old way, and at the proper time gathers the corn in a pile and invites his neigh- bors and has a corn-husking match, followed by the big supper, Ac. Dr. Hebb, the new Treasurer-elect, is a son-in- law of Mr. John S. Hayes, of this district. Mr. Walter Townsend, who was elected a member of the House of Delegates, is the son of Wilson Townsend, Esq. Principio. Glenarm, 11th District. —Glenarm Station, M. C. R. R., is destined to be a business village in the near future, if we may judge from the property that is changing hands in that locality, and that, too, at remunerative prices. Mr. Andrew Sherman has purchased a lot of ground from Mr. Goodwin Wilson, and has erect- ed a first-class store building and will open tho same for business in about two weeks. Mr. Thomas Sherman has also bought some ground from Mr. Wilson, on whioh he h*B erected a blacksmith shop, and is already conducting a brisk business. Joshua Gwinn, an enterprising colored citizen of that section, has also purchased 10 acres from Mr. Wilson, for which he paid SIOO per aore. Mr. Adam Reier has also bought 10 acres of the same tract, on which be will build a dwolling and slaughter house. The great activity at that point is no doubt caused by the Maryland Central Railroad passing through the village. The country adjacent to the village is one of the most beautiful and produc- tive farming sections in Baltimore county. Among the gentlemen owning farms in olose proximity to the station are Messrs. T. E. J. German, Levin Lake, John C. Pearce, Richard Francis, theestate of the late John T. B. Parlett, Jacob Mast, John W. Burton, Wm. C. Payne, Nathaniel P. Corbin, and many others. Medical Men In Council.—The narford County Medical Society held its regular meeting in Belair on Tuesday. The president, Dr. Jas. F. H. Gorsuch, of Baltimore county, occupied the chair. Several interesting cases in the practice of the physicians present were related. Dr. For- wood said he is now treating for typhoid fever a patient 65 years old, a poriod of life ten years above that in any caso of typhoid fever he had ever seen. There is, he said, no authentic record of a man over 65 years old having typhoid fever. The youngest oase he bad known was eighteen months. Dr. Gorsuch related a case he is now treating with Dr. Altvater, in which a young man, by falling from a wheat drill, fractured his spine.— One of the spinous processes was driven into the body, the lower part of which is entirely paralyzed. The man has entiru use of the body and no in- flammatory action has set in, although the injury occurred two weeks ago. This case was fully re- ported in Tiie Union at the time the accident oc- curred. Store Robbed.—On Wednesday night last the store of Mr. George M. Leisenring, in Luther- ville, was entered by burglars and robbed of about $25 worth of goods, including clothing, shoes, Ao. Entrance was effectod by foroing open a rear shutter and crawling in between the iron bars with which the window was protected. The postoffice is kept in the store and the burglars opened some letters but did not succeed in secur- ing any money. The safo in tho store contained a small amount of money and was not locked.— In trying the combination thoy locked the safe and its contents remained undisturbed. The por- ter sleeps over the store and heard the noise, but thinking the clerk was moving about below paid no attention for some time. Finally be beoame suspicious and upon getting up to investigate the burglars beard him and fled with their small amount of booty. It was evident that they were not people expert in the business. Arlington, 3d District.—The spirit of im- provement is still active in our village. Mr. Price is having a row of houses built near the new driv- ing park. There are to be twenty-four dwellings on the same property. Mr. Devries is erecting the necessary buildings for the establishment of a wood and coal yard. This will be a very great convenience to our residents, most of whom now obtain their fuel in tho city. A gentleman has offered a prize to the scholar attending the district sohool, who makes the most improvement by Nov. 28th, and the young com- petitors are eagerly engagod in the contest. Mrs. Doenges, the wife of our postmaster, has been ill. But there is little sickness is in tho neigh- borhood, however, our people, for the most part, enjoying good health. Bessie A. Serious Cutting: Affray.—On Saturday night last a fight occurred between a number of white and colored men on the Baltimore county side of Ellicott City, during the progress of which a white man named Isaac Wilson was cut by Asbury Dowden, colored. A large knife was used, and a frightful gash was inflicted in the shoulder, almost severing the arm from the body. Wilson made a very narrow escape from death. Dowden was arrested and lodged in the Ellieott City jail. Wilson’s friends, who wore greatly enraged, made threats of lynching Dowden and in order to pro- tect tho prisoner he was taken to the Frederick road station houso on Sunday night and has since been brought to jail here. Wilson will recover. Literary Societies. —Tho Philomathria Lit- erary Society of the Bth district, at its meeting last -week elected Mr. A. J. Brown, president, vice Mr. A. V. Parsons, resigned. Mr. Chae. Worthington was elected vice-president, and Mr. Thomas Matthews secretary, vice Mies Beulah Matthews, removed from the neighborhood. The society bolds weekly meetings during the winter. It has been organized nine years and has been productive of much pleasure and profit to the members. The Everett Literary Association of the same neighborhood, has been reorganized for the win- ter. It holds monthly meetings at the residences of the members. Fullerton, 12th Dletrict.—Mr. John Fitch, Sr., is building a fine frame dwelling on his prop- erty. The contractors are Messrs. Hak A Bro., who are skilled mechanics. Mr. August Dumer is busily engaged construct- ing an ice pond. When completed, it will be one of tho finest in the neighborhood. Mr. Henry Lange, of Baltimore, has rented his fine farm, which is located on the Belair road, to a young gentleman from above Towsontown, who intends conducting the milk business. The rent per year is SBOO. Mr. John n. Klein, Sr., is said to have the finest celery grown in this vicinity. B. Sale of Lime Stone Quarries and Kiln.— Wm. M. Risteau, auctioneer, sold at the Court House on Tuesday, for Messrs. Yellott, Offutt and Kecch, trustees in the equity case of D. T. Rich- ards vs. O. G. Towson and others, two lime-stone quarry lots, with a perpetual kiln, having a ca- Eacity of 150 bushels of lime daily, situated near och Raven, M. C. R. R., the whole embracing 7 acres and 45 perohes, with three small frame houses. Purchased by Mr. W. Jeff. Shanklin for $3,525. Feelemyer—Norrla.—OnThursday morning last, at the residence of Mr. Chas. P. Newman, at Arlington, Baltimore county, Mr. Jos. F. Feele- myer, of Baltimore, was married to Miss Annie K. Norris, the youngest daughter of the late Dr. C. P. Norris, of Frederick county. Rev. L. A. Thirkland, of the Arlington M. E. Church, per- formed the ceremony. The bride is a sister-in- law of Mr. Newman, and the groom is a well- known Baltimore business man. Sale of a Snug: Little Farm—Mr. Daniel Smith, living near Powhatan, 2d district, on the New Cut road, has sold his farm, containing about 31 acres, nicely improved, and has upon it a fine youngorchard, the improvements being in first- olass condition, to Mr. Jacob Albert,of Baltimore, for $5,750.

He was formerly superintendent for the Union Manufac- turing Company, in this county, but now has charge of the Morotock Mills at Danville. # Celebrating: Their Sixtieth Wodding An- niversary.—Rev. Joseph Mettam and wife cel- ebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their wedding, on Friday, 6th instant, at their residence, Pikes- ville, this county, where they have resided for fif- ty years. The Sun says : “The venerable couple were married in the Episcopal Churoh, Chester- field, England, Nov. 6, 1825, it being the Estab- lished Church, and marriage was not considered legal unless performed in that church. Mr. Mettam was baptized in England by tho Rev. David Jones, in tho Chesterfield Baptist Church. Ho was called to the ministry before ho reached his majority, and preached two years in the Metho- dist Church. He was about 21 years of age when he joined the Baptist Churoh. He preached in several villages of England, frequently walking eight or ten miles Sunday morning, and again as many more miles to preach in tho evening. Ho finally concluded to come to America, though at one time he was on the eve of going as a mission- ary to China. He arrived in this country in August, 1832, landing in Norfork, Virginia, leav- ing his wife and two ohildren to follow him, pro- vided he would think it advisable. After a short stay in Norfolk, not being able to got suitable employment, ho came to Baltimore, where he met with warm Christian friends and soon obtained employment at his trade, that of a gunsmith and locksmith, and preaohing on Sundays and week nights to the few Baptists thon in Baltimore. The following year his wife and two boys and some friends landed in Baltimore. Tho oldest and first born, Samuel B. Mettam, is still living at Pikesville. After remaining in Baltimore a couple of years the Rev. Mr. Mettam and wife paid a visit to Pikesville and made the acquaintance of some of the residents, who induced them to mako it their home, and in a very short time they were located. After preaching in private houses and the village day school Mr. Mettam thought there was a field open for a Baptist churoh, and it was not long before one was started. Dr. James Smith con- tributed the ground and Mrs. Carroll the stone from her quarries, and Major Wise the timber from his woods and other contributions of money and labor, so that in February, 1835, the Pikes- villo Baptist Church was finished and opened for public worship, and up to the last year or two tho Rev. Mr. Mettam has been its aotive pastor. Tba venerable couple have reached the advanced age of 80 and 81, respectively. They have five children, all married, and some twenty-five grand- children, all living within eight milos of tho old homestead.” “The Close of the Season.” —Tho follow- ing pretty linos, under the above caption, written by “D. S. G.” for the Sunday American, and dedi- cated to “The Towson Tennis Club,” wo are pleas- ed to transfer to our columns : Farewell to all the jolly times We’ve had with ball and racket! We’ve laid aside our tennis shoes, And doffed our flannel jacket. The whitewash lines have disappeared, The oourts are helter-skelter; The grass its early freshness lacks, The nets are under shelter. The “server” and tho “striker-out” Have lost their occupation; The small boy from the fence has gone, The “net-man” from his station. No longer “pairs” a “love-set” play, Or “doubles” vie together; They’ve substituted battlo-dores, The “douce” is in the weather. Ah ! leaves are fallingfrom the trees, And wintry winds are blowing; The fields are bare and desolate, Too short the days are growing. The grounds that used to echo far Gay laughter without measure, Are hushed in chilling silence now And stilled the sound of pleasure. But when tho hoary frost departs And gentle spring again is, Oh ! let us then revive anew The grand old gameof tennis. Postal Affairs.—Thefollowing postal changes have been made in Baltimore county within the past week: Henry S. Fitch, postmaster at Owings’ Mills, vice Mrs. Fannie B. Harman, removed. W. T. Haughey, postmaster at Glyndon, W. M. R. R., vice Mr. S. P. Towsend, removed. Samuel E. Bosley, Postmaster at Monkton,vice Samuel Miller, removed. This is the office over which there has been such a sharp contest for some weeks. There wore no charges against Mr. Miller, who had held the office for many years.— The salary is about SIBO per annum. The Postmaster-General has rejected the names of Golden Ring and Glen Ellen, which had beon selected for new offices in this county, upon the ground that it is against the policy of the depart- ment to establish offices with long or double names, whioh are calculated to confuse postal clerks and cause frequent blunders. When acceptable names arepresented for these offices it is likely they will bo promptly established. Hereafter the mails will leave Freeland, N. C. R. R., for Grave Run Mills daily, except Sunday, at 8.40 a. m. and arrive at Grave Run at 12.40. Returning, leave Grave Run at 1 p. m. and arrive at Freeland at 4 p. m. Adam Lenboff, postmaster at Fullerton, vice August Dumer, removed. John L. Rosensteel, postmaster at Govanstown, vice W. S. Norris, removed. G. A. R. Inspection.—Gen. Horn, depart- ment commander of tho Grand Army of Republic, accompanied by members of his staff, paid a visit to Reisterstown on Tuesday night for the purpose of inspecting Gosnell Post, No. 39, of that place. After the business of the evening had been dis- posed of the visitors and others partook of a good supper at tho residence of Mr. Wm. D. Yingling, a member of the Post. The Post has about twen- ty members and the following are officers : Com- mander, John A. Neal; senior vice-commander, Dr. R. J. Henry ; junior vice-commander, John Williams ; adjutant, W. F. Dean ; quartermaster, S. B. Yingling ; surgeon, Dr. McK. Kemp ; chap- lain, Wm. D. Yingling. The Post was rented a new hall at Glyndon, whore the meetings will be held after next month. A Boy Burglar.—Lewis D. Harding, aged 14 years, was arrested on Tuesday, on the charge of entering the house of Jarrett N. Shauok, in Hampden, Falls road, and stealing therefrom a lot of jewelry, Ac., valued at about S2O. Harding was taken hetore Justice Dorsey, where he con- fessed that he had been concerned in therobbery, an<4 the Justice committed him to St. Mary’s In- durtrial School. Another boy named Joseph Hardy, who was also implicated, has not beon arrested. . Resulted Seriously.—About a week ago Dr. R. Willis, druggist, of this plaoe, struck his nose against a door, knocking off a little of the Bkin. The wound was healing very nicely when a few days afterwards the scab was rubbed off by acci- dent. The wound then beoame inflamed and the nose and face commenced swelling rapidly. Fear- ing erysipelas, Dr. Piper was called and through his skillful treatment a change for the better was soon apparent and his patient is now much im- proved. Accidentally Shot.—Mr. J. 11. Hamilton, of Govanstown, who carries on the job printing bus- iness in Baltimore, met with a painful acoident a few days ago. He was handling a pistol in a shooting gallery when the weapon was accidental- ly discharged, the ball passing through his foot, making a very ugly wound. He has sinoe been oonfined to the house and has been under tho care of a physician. Recent Property Sales.—The Catonsville Argu* reports the following sales of property in that section of the county : The llause property, containing 62 acres, situa- ted near Catonsville, was sold recently by Messrs. Machcn and Larned, trustees, for about $9,000. In view of tho dilapidated condition of the fences and improvements and negloct of the land, it was considered a very fair price. Mr. E. Livczey, our resident real estate agent and broker, recently sold 27 acres on tho pike, one-fourth of a mile from the village, belonging to Mr. Jervis Spencer, to Mr. Win. B. Willson for the sum of $7,000. Also 8 acres on the Old Itoad, formerly Mr. Robinson’s, and adjoining “Harlem Lodge,’’ with beautiful dwelling, and grounds tastefully laid out and improved with a variety of ornamental trees and shrubbery, for the sum of SB,OOO, to Mr. Alexander, of Washington. Mr. LLvezey sold about four months ago, some 20 aores of land for Qen. John Gill, to Mr. D. C. Howell; price S4OO per acre. Mr. Livezey Btates there is a good deal of try- ing for country-seats and property on tho line of our Catonsville Short-Line, he having several partios now negotiating for property, and if the road is managed to meet the views of purchasers, (fares moderate and frequent trains), there will be a very largo addition to our population in the coming spring. Mr. Livezey has also succeeded in leasing “Harlem Lodge” to Mr. and Mrs. Parkhurst for three years. The outlook is very flattering for an active real estato movement for Catonsville, and very much depends on tho polity to bo adopted by our steam road, in regard to having trains frequent and moderato rates of fare to residents and every-day travel over the road. Children’s Service In Trinity Church.— On Sunday afternoon a special service for the children was held in Trinity P. E. Church, Tow- sontown, at 4 o’clock. Some weeks since the Sunday school was informed that such of the older scholars as should learn and recite perfectly to the rector the church catechism, four oollects and the 7th chapter of St. Matthow, would be awarded a prize. Those of the next grade who should say the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds, and such of the infant classes as should recite tho Lord’s Prayer, would likewise be rewarded. Forty-nine tried for one or the other of the prizes and forty-four took them. For weeks the children had been drilled, and forming in the chapel they marched into the Kchurch by classes, each class bearing a bannor, a large gold letter, and a harp string of flowers.— After service and sermon by the rector, Rev. W. H. 11. Powors, the superintendent, Dr. G. M. Bos- ley, read his report, giving the number of scholars at 102, and the offerings of the school since Janu- ary, 18S5, sllß. As ho called the classes three members of each came forward, one bearing a card, which was handed the superintendent, who read therefrom the name and motto of the class ; one bore a letter, which was hung before the desk or pulpit, and one child bore a string made of lovely flowers, which was strung upon a mam- moth harp of evergreen standing in the chancel. There were ton such strings, which when strung, made a harp musical with flowers. The text when completed was “Glory to God.” The prizes were then distributed, after words of high commenda- tion and congratulation to the school for the accu- racy of their special recitations. The school then marched out singing, reversing the ordor of their entrance. The children were pleased, and so were the older folk, with a service whioh was unusually spirited and attractive throughout. Death of a Former Citizen.—Mr. James Rowe died in Washington, D. C., on Thursday of last week, in the 81st year of his age. He was formorly a resident of Hereford, Baltimore county, but had boon living in Washington for the past twelve years. Deceased was the father of the late Joha K. Rowe, a well-known citizen of the Bth district of this county. The remains of Mr. Rowe were brought on and interred at Hereford Bap- tist church on Saturday last Burglar Shot. —W. F. Gardner, a merchant of Woodberry, this county, was awakened Thurs- day morning about 4 o’clock by hearing some one in his store. As soon as he saw the intruder he commenced firing his revolver and the thief beat a hasty retroat. Upon examination of the premises it was found that the pistol had done its work from the spots of blood lying around. Sale of a Country Seat on the Harford Road.—Mr. Henry L. Bowen, real estate agent of Towsontown, last week sold the little farm of George W. Ivuffner, situated on the Harford road, near Lauraville, to Marcus L. Dudloy, of Balti- more city, for $7,000. The place, is splendidly improved with a fine dwelling and all necessary outbuildings. A Valuable Mare Stolen.—On Friday night of last week, a thief entered the stable of Mr. Charles L. Hammond, who farms the place of Mrs. Rogers, in Green Spring Valley, and took therefrom a large brown mare. The robbery was at once reported to the authorities but up to this time nothing has been beard of either the thief or mare. Emory Grove Association!.—At a meeting of Emory Grove Association held on Thursday night last, the secretary reported the receipts for ISBS to be $5,310.61, and expenditures $5,179.46. The special committee reported unanimously in favor oPerecting a hotel on Waugh avenue, between the walk from tho railroad track and First avenue. Freight Wreck on the N. C. R. R.—On Thursday morning about one o’clock, a north bound freight train on the Northern Central rail- road was badly wrecked near new Freedom, Pa. No persons wore seriously hurt. Wrecking trains from Baltimore and Parkton soon removed the debris. Farm Sold. —Major Richard T. Allison, as- sistant postmaster at Baltimore, has sold his farm, situated near Phoenix, this county. The place oontains 60 acres and is situated on theroad lead- ingfrom the Paper Mill to Phoenix. The name of the purchaser has not been ascertained. Commissions Received.—The commissions for the newly-elected county officers were received at the Clerk’s offico Friday morning. USEFUL INFORMATION. Ice-Houses on the Farm.—An agricultural paper, speaking on this subject, says : “It is hard to understand why more farmers have not ico- houses. It is a significant fact that wherever a farmer has built an ice-house, he has not allowed it to be unused or to fall into decay. After a man has once had his harvest drink—water, tea and milk—cooled, he is not apt to subject himsolf to warm drinks again. Ice-watcr is to be con- demned ; but water cooled by ice is as much more wholesome than jfarm water as it is more palata- ble. The coolness impartod by ice adds as much to the palatableness and wholesomeness of food as it does to drink. Ice not only preserves and increases the palatabloness of butter, but loss of sweetness certainly indicates loss of wholesome- ness; and so with meats and fruits. Ice keeps meat from tainting, thereby keeping it wholesome as well as toothsome. Tho farmer cannot go to the market every morning and purchase fresh meat, and he cannot keep meat in summer with- out ice; therefore tho farmer without an ice-house must eat salt pork during hot weather, and that is just what a large majority of us do. Ice will ofton save meats, vegetables and fruits from spoil- ing outright. An ice-house robs the swill-barrel, but how much it saves for the table is hard to be realized without the aid of practical experience.” Fall Pruning of Grape Vines.—Vines may be pruned in tho fall as soon as the leaves have dropped. The pruning of a vine consists in cut- ting away all tho unnecessary bearing wood, leaving only short spurs with two or three eyes on the main shoots to produce fruit next year. The number of canes left to grow depends on the system of training. If the alternate arm sys- tem is followed—one upright, with as many lat- erals as there are wires or bars on the trellis, are left; if the single stake plan is chosen two canes are grown, one to make wood for bearing next year and one to bear fruit. If the fan-shaped method of training is desired, three, four or five main stems may be grown and lateral spurs left on those to produce fruit for next year. The wood cut away should be tho whole of this year’s growth, excepting so much as will carry three eyes. Beware of Gunning Accidents. —The gunning season is now in full blast, and we may expect to hear of the usunl number of accidents caused by theoareless handling of fire-arms. The skilled sportsman never risks his own life or that of others by holding or carrying his gun in such a position as to endanger any one by its discharge. He appreciates tho dangerous character of his weapon, and is, therefore, careful in handling it. Now that breech-loading arms are so generally used, there is no excuse for keeping them loaded; whether loaded or not, the muzzle should at all times bo kept away from the body. It is just as easy to acquire careful habits in handling guns as to get other habits that place one in constant danger of being self-wounded and perhaps killed. Good Advice to Farmers.—The following timely advice to farmers is copied from a well- posted exchange: “This is the time of the year for farmers to push their fattening stock of al 1 kinds. Owing to tho low price of grain, it will pay farmers better to feed the corn to their stook and sell it in that way than to sell the grain at the present price. Sell your corn in the way of poultry, hogs and cattle, and you will accomplish a double object—get as good a price for it, and enrich your land at tho same time. Watch the land of your neighbor, who pursues this course, and see the steady improvement not only in tho land but in his purse as well.” Some Wonders in Utah. New York Sun. There is in the oxtreme north of Utah a mag- nificent subterranean reservoir of first-class soda water, bubbling and effervescing out of the ground in such quantities that all America might be sup- plied. In the extreme south, on the road to Or- derville, is an exquisite circular lakelet that is always just full to tho brim with water as dear and as green as beryl. And wherevor the water overflows the lake’s edge it encrusts the ground and tho grass and the fallen leaves upon it with a fine coating of limestone, so that the brim is growing higher and higher with tho impercepti- ble but certain growth of a coral reef, and in the course of generations the lake will become a con- secrated basin.

November 13.—Case of Adolph Rose vs. Balti- more and Ohio Railroad, the jury returned a ver- dict of $1,200 for plaintiff. Against Lotteries and Gift Enterprises. Judge Pershing, of Pottsville, Pa., in charging the Grand Jury last Monday, violently denounced lotteries and gift enterprises for church and char- itable purposes. He said such affairs were a species of gambling whioh took from men money that should go to the maintenance of their fami- lies. He denounced the county papers for adver- tising them, as they are conducted in open viola- tion of State and national statutes, and commend- ed the Philadelphia papers for helping to eradi- cate the evil here. “At Pottsville, on the other hand,” said Judge Pershing, “the better class of citizens, generally candidates for office, are the managers, and give caste to the violation of the law. Even the judges on the bench are not free from the assaults of projectors of these schemes, and have been in receipt of packages of tickets, and, when they declined to buy, were assailed with curses.” Referring indirectly to the enter- prises of the Grand Army Post and fire company, thejudgo said: “Every man who violates the law invites some other man to violate another law. If I may violate the law to suit my purposes, you have as much right to violate a law to suit your purposes, and, finally, by a combination of cir- cumstances and parties, we may sweep away all laws; anarchy follows, and the weak will be trod- den under foot by the strong. Liberty is the crea- ture of the law. Liberty is simply permission to do as the laws direct, and if we violate the law, that is an end to liberty. The Southern States were only asked to obey the law, and when they refused war followed. The men who put down that armed resistance to law with their bayonets ought not to be the men who now violate the law. Their object may be, and is, a commendable one, but their means are bad. lam glad the district attorney has called my attention to tho matter, and I will allow him in his discretion to deal with the matter in such away as its magnitude war- rants." The Danger of Learning to Read. Philadeljyhia Times. A story is told of an illiterate German who hav- ing been appointed to a country postoffice applied to a waggish friend to know what his duties were. The latter told him among others that he was re- quired to read all the postal cards. The German tried it for a week and then wanted to throw up his commission on the ground that many of tho messages on the cards wore so badly written that nobody could read them. The Lehigh county postmistress who was lately arrested for opening letters seems to have been impressed with tho idea that it was part of her duty to read the letters that passed through tho office as well as the postal cards. She did not throw up her commission because of the undeci- pherable characteristics of the latters. She had learned the art of deciphering illegible manuscript and fairly reveled in the secrets of her neigh- bors’ business and love affairs. If she had been more like her honest German co-official it would have been better for her. A prompt resignation because she could not read the letters and postal cards would have saved her a vexatious prosecution and a deal of unpleasant notoriety. Mrs. Frump is a living testimonial to the truth of tho saying that a little knowledge i 3 a dangerous thing. Far better would it have been for the unfortunate woman if she had never learn- ed to read at all. Funeral Etiquette In Mexico. Washington Republican. Funeral etiquette is rigorously observed to the minutest particular by all classes in Mexico, and a death in the family has been the financial ruin of many a man. Black garments must be worn for at least two years by every female relative, even to remote cousins and littlo children, while male relatives, however distantly connected, must, for an equal length of time, wear broad bands of black flannel upon their straw or felt hats, black silk neckties and black gloves, not to mention the scarf of crape, with flowing ends, which is kept tied above the elbow of the right coat sleeve for not less than six weeks after the funeral. Upon no account whatever must the ladies of the household be seen anywhere in public during the two years of mourning. Jewelry and all adorn- ments must be laid aside, letter paper and envel- opes must conspicuously advertise the family af- fliction, and all the smallest signs of woe must bo faithfully employed—even by those who could have had little interest in the deceased, or when, as sometimes happens, death could have brought nothing but welcome relief to all concerned. Bad for Shirkers of Jury Duty. Philadelphia Times. Judge White, of Pittsburg, has away of deal- ing with shirkers of jury duty which is very dis- couraging to the averago oitizon who thinks that his private affairs are more important than the administration of justice. While drawing a jury for a murder trial Judge White found that a sus- piciously large number of the citizens in the panel had formed opinions as to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner, for the purpose, apparently, of getting excused. He excused them, but ordered them to stay in court throughout the trial. This treatment may seem harsh, but in view of the difficulty of otherwise punishing such unfaithful- ness to one’s duty as a citizen and the fact that a juror is entitled to his per diem, whether he goes or stays in court, it was not a bit too harsh. A wholesome lesson on the duties of jury service is a good thing once in a while. An Infamous Swiss Custom. They do queer things in Switzerland, consider- ing that the Swiss eulogize their country as “the land of Liberty.” The children of poor people are regularly hired out by auction in most of tho cantons. There was a most painful scene recent- ly in the market place of Bial, a town near Berne, where, in spite of the heart-rending entreaties of a widowed mother, her four young children, rang- ing from 2 to 10, were “placed” out for a year to the highest bidder by the public crier, the family being thus broken up and separated for fear lest the woman should be compelled to seek for assist- ance from the town. This is really very nearly as bad as the old slave sales in America, and I should doubt whether there is any other country in Europe where such an infamous system exists at the present time. The Swiss, in reality, are a sordid, huckstering race. —Rev. W. W. Downey, of Martinsburg, Va., has been unanimously elected pastor of the Pres- byterian church at Uavre-de-Grace. —Mr. Zachary T.

The announcement by one of the countypapers last week that Mr. Phil. L. Moore badbeen appointed clerk by Mr. S. V. Miller, thenewly-elected Sheriff, was premature. That po-sition has been given to Mr. Jos. B. Mitchell, ofTowsontown.

Mr. Wesley S. Perine is the Towsontownlamp-lighter and has acceptably performed hisduties. Anticipating a change under the newBoard ofCounty Commissioners,a number of ap-plicants are after the place and are pressing their“olaims” with much vigor.

Col. Samuel N. Hyde has commenced theerection of a fine residence upon the site of theold Hale dwelling, west of the railroad. The lo-cation is a beautiful one, commanding a view ofnearly the whole of Long GreenValley. Mr. Al-fred H. Shriver has the contract.

Mr. U. F. Causey, keeper of the toll-gateon the York turnpike, near Timonium, has notyet recovered the money ($220) which was Btolenfrom his bed-room. The suspicious characterswho were seen in the neighborhood before therobbery, have not since been found.

Scarcely a train passes up or down theMaryland Central road but what some one pointsout from the car windows to some one else thesycamore tree near the jail,upon which the col-ored boy Howard Cooper, was lynched, andwhich stands as a mute witness of that ghastlymid-night tragedy.

A fine buck escaped from Druid Hill Parklast Sunday and dashed into tho city, where hemade things lively for a time. He jumped intoa tailor shop, through the large" window, and af-ter escaping from there ran down to the dock andplunged into the water. He was captured whileswimming in the basin.

John W. Shanklin, Esq., the newly-elect-ed Clerk of the Circuit Court, is expected to takecharge ofhis office about the 20th inst.

Mr. Harry Phipps has been appointedkeeper of the York road toll-gate in Towsontown,in place of Mr. James Slioridan, who was obligedto give it up on account of failing health. Theturnpike company is fortunate in securing theservices of Mr. Phipps, as it would have been dif-ficult to find a better man for tho place.

ers will retain the present efficient force of clerksin their office, viz : Mr. John Crowther, Jr., chiefclerk and auditor, and Messrs. C. P. Laurensonand Miohael F. Connor, assistants. All are wellknown and greatly esteemed and their retentionwill give general satisfaction to the people of thocounty.

The total number of registered voters inBaltimore county, as shown by the last registra-tion, is 17,926, or an increase of 326 over thereg-istration of 1884.

The funeral of Mr. John Merryman, ofHayfields, who died at Atlanta, Ga., on 3d inst.,took place at Sherwood P. E. Church, Cockeysville, on Friday of last week and was very large-ly attended.

At a meeting of the Water Board on Mon-day the City Solicitor submitted a written opin-ion as to the power of the Board to construct aroad at Lake Roland, in connection with otherproperty-owners in the vicinity, setting forth thatit would be necessary to obtain the authority ofthe City Council before doing so. This is theavenue to which The Uniox referred last week.

Among the hundreds of rumors currenthere this week with reference to the new appoint-ments in the Court House, one was to the effectthat Dr. Ilebb, the newly-elected Treasurer,would retain Mr. Oscar Johnson in his office andthat his chiefclerk would be Mr. R. Bruce Hook,of the 2d district. Mr. Hook is a civil engineerand was engaged on the Gunpowder water works.He is well known here and very popular.

At one of the voting places in the 12th dis-trict at the late election, there was some conten-tion as to the time the polls should open. Somesaid the hour was 8 o’clock and others said it was9. Finally the opinion of one of the judges, whosaid 9 o’clock was the hour, prevailed, and thevoting did not commence in that precinct untilone hour after the time prescribed by law. Thatjudge should be furnished hereafter with a large-sized copy of tho law and also with a leathermedal as a badge of stupidity.

A Strange Cattle Disease.—A few daysago the fine Jersey cow “Princess,” belonging toCol. E. H. Webster’s herd, was killed. The cowhad been suffering from a disease called “hovon,”and as there was no possibility of her gettingwell, she was put out of her misery. A post-mortem upon the body demonstrated unmistaka-bly thepresenco of the strange disease. She hadbeen surgically treated for abnormal distension oftho stomach, suoh as is incident to the over-eatingof green food. The post-mortem showed that theinner lining of the stomach was completely driedout. There was an entire absence of gastriojuices, and there were large masses of hay orother dry food in the stomach.

A well-informed correspondent eends us the fol-lowing upon the above subject:

Editors Union: —A ease of “hoven,” reportedin the papers, with a valuable Jersey belongingto Col. Edwin H. Webster, and which terminatedfatally after the swelling of the stomach hadbeenrelieved several times by puncturing, will no doubtcause general attention. I had lately a similarease with a Jersey heifer, which was effectuallyrelieved by a simple remedy. The heifer wasfound in the morning swollen and in much pain,when a drench of a pint of linseed oil was given,whioh soon caused active action of thebowels andby night full relief. This remedy is no doubtavailable for a cure in the early stage of thedisease only and it is therefore necessary to givethe drench with as little delay as possible afterthe swelling becomes apparent. The remedy, ifnot effective in all cases of the kind, is harmless.

’Twas Ever Thus.—The Winter days are near at handWhen silently through all the land

The snow will fall;Its dazzliDg whiteness all aroundWill drift above the frozen ground,

Deep over all.Then the younglover haste will mako,And in a narrow cutter take

His girl a ride.And she will laugh, blithe and jocose,Beneath the buffalo snuggled close

Up to his side.Meanwhile at home his aged fath-Er will, to shovel out a path,

The drifts attack;And while Love holds the youth in thrall,The poor old man at home will al-

Most break his back.

Sheriff Miller Sworn In.— Mr. Silas V.Miller, the new Sheriff, was sworn in on Friday,and received his commission, and at once enteredupon the duties of his office. He appointed Mr.Joseph B. Mitchell, clerk. Mr. Mitchell has hadmany years’ experience in tho Clerk’s office andwas also Register of Wills of the eounty. His dep-uties are Mr. Joseph Tracey, of the sth district,and Mr. Wm. M. Risteau, of the 9th district. Hisbondsmen are Messrs. John G. Miller. BenjaminGorsuch, Joshua F. Benson and Henry W. B. Ashe.The penalty of the bond is $25,000.

Petition Piled.—A petition has been filedwith the County Commissioners signed by about150 residents of the first district, askiDg that gas

be substituted for the gasoline lamps now in useon Frederick avenue, between Baltimore city andHilton avenue.

Warren, Bth District.—ltocently the man-agement of the factory at this plaoe has under-gone a change. Mr. R. Gladfelter, who has beenits managerfor several years, has resigned andreqpoved with his familyto Woodberry, his formerresidence. Mr. Anderson, of Baltimore, has be-come his successor and has already entered uponhis duties, and the business in all its branches ismoving forward as satisfactorily as heretofore.

Quite a number of houses, that have long re-mained unocoupied, are now undergoing neededropairs, much of the plastoring having fallen offfrom dampness and long standing, and threaten-ing by oracks and fissures muoh more to follow.—

Mr. Joshua Johnson, plasterer, is now engaged inputting them in proper order and thoy will boready for occupancy at an early day.

Wheat fields have assumed a luxuriant appear-ance. The warm weathor of the past few days,accompanied with genial showers, have infusednow life and vigor, giving promise of a good standbefore the advent of winter, with its usual severi-ties.

The mortality in this seotion within the pastthree months has been unusually large and appall-ing. Eight persons, ranging from ohildhood toold age, have been deposited in Poplar Cemetery,most of whom having fallen viotims, after shortillness, to those dreaded maladies, typhoid anddiphtheria.

Our Sunday school has somewhat diminishedin point ofnumbers. Too many parents pay littleregard to the moral and religious welfare of theirchildren. Ifthey go to Sabbath school, well andgood; or if they roam over the fields and woods'tis all the same; or if thoy saunter along thebanks of the Gunpowder, or take the streets fortheir education, all is seemingly passed over as aSabbath properly spent and without due reproofor proper admonition. U.

Rossville, 12th District.—The revival meet-ing at Orem’s M. E. Church, whioh closed on lastSunday, resulted in the conversion of about tenpersons, mostly Sunday school scholars.

Mr. Wm. Merritt has removed from near Mid-dle river to a farm near Mt. Carmel Cemetery,Canton.

Mr.Wesley Jacobs has located at Stemmer’sRun.Mrs. Lonberger, wife of Rev. John Lonberger,

hos returned recently from Europe, much pleasedwith her visit.

Mr. John Fitoh, who is one of our most experi-enced and successful farmers, has attained theageof 80, and for one of his years is quite active. Herides horse-back and goes to mill with the boysoccasionally. He is living on the farm owned byhis late father and on which he was born. Apart of the dwelling house was built over 100years ago. Mr. Fitch is a progressive man andavails himself of modern improvements in hus-bandry, and yet he believes in proving newmethods and holding fast to the old that are good;hence ho still saves fodder and builds the fodderhouse in the old way, and at the proper timegathers the corn in a pile and invites his neigh-bors and has a corn-husking match, followed bythe big supper, Ac.

Dr. Hebb, the new Treasurer-elect, is a son-in-law of Mr. John S. Hayes, of this district. Mr.Walter Townsend, who was elected a member ofthe House of Delegates, is the son of WilsonTownsend, Esq. Principio.

Glenarm, 11th District. —Glenarm Station,M. C. R. R., is destined to be a business villagein the near future, if we may judge from theproperty that is changing hands in that locality,and that, too, at remunerative prices.

Mr. Andrew Sherman has purchased a lot ofground from Mr. Goodwin Wilson, and has erect-ed a first-class store building and will open thosame for business in about two weeks.

Mr. Thomas Sherman has also bought someground from Mr. Wilson, on whioh he h*B erecteda blacksmith shop, and is already conducting abrisk business.

Joshua Gwinn, an enterprising colored citizenof that section, has also purchased 10 acres fromMr. Wilson, for which he paid SIOO per aore.

Mr. Adam Reier has also bought 10acres of thesame tract, on which be will build a dwolling andslaughter house.

The great activity at that point is no doubtcaused by the Maryland Central Railroad passingthrough the village. The country adjacent to thevillage is one of the most beautiful and produc-tive farmingsections in Baltimore county. Amongthe gentlemen owning farms in olose proximity tothe station are Messrs. T. E. J. German, LevinLake, John C. Pearce, Richard Francis, theestateof the late John T. B. Parlett, Jacob Mast, JohnW. Burton, Wm. C. Payne, Nathaniel P. Corbin,and many others.

Medical Men In Council.—The narfordCounty Medical Society held its regular meetingin Belair on Tuesday. The president, Dr. Jas.F. H. Gorsuch, of Baltimore county, occupied thechair.

Several interesting cases in the practice ofthe physicians present were related. Dr. For-wood said he is now treating for typhoid fever apatient 65 years old, a poriod of life ten yearsabove that in anycaso of typhoid fever he hadever seen. There is, he said, no authentic recordof a man over 65 years old having typhoid fever.The youngest oase he bad known was eighteenmonths.

Dr. Gorsuch related a case he is now treatingwith Dr. Altvater, in which a young man, byfalling from a wheat drill, fractured his spine.—One of the spinous processes was driven into thebody, the lower part of which is entirely paralyzed.The man has entiru use of the body and no in-flammatory action has set in, although the injuryoccurred two weeks ago.

Celebrating:TheirSixtieth Wodding An-niversary.—Rev. Joseph Mettam and wife cel-ebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their wedding,on Friday, 6th instant, at their residence, Pikes-ville, this county, where they have resided for fif-ty years. The Sun says : “The venerable couplewere married in the Episcopal Churoh, Chester-field, England, Nov. 6, 1825, it being the Estab-lished Church, and marriage was not consideredlegal unless performed in that church. Mr. Mettamwas baptized in England by tho Rev. DavidJones, in tho Chesterfield Baptist Church. Howas called to the ministry before ho reached hismajority, and preached two years in the Metho-dist Church. He was about 21 years ofage whenhe joined the Baptist Churoh. He preached inseveral villages of England, frequently walkingeight or ten miles Sunday morning, and again asmany more miles to preach in tho evening. Hofinally concluded to come to America, though atone time he was on the eve of going as a mission-ary to China. He arrived in this country inAugust, 1832, landing in Norfork, Virginia, leav-ing his wife and two ohildren to follow him, pro-vided he would think it advisable. After a shortstay in Norfolk, not being able to got suitableemployment, ho came to Baltimore, where he metwith warm Christian friends and soon obtainedemployment at his trade, that of a gunsmith andlocksmith, and preaohing on Sundays and weeknights to the few Baptists thon in Baltimore.The following year his wife and two boys andsome friends landed in Baltimore. Tho oldestand first born, Samuel B. Mettam, is still livingat Pikesville.

After remaining in Baltimore a couple of yearsthe Rev. Mr. Mettam and wife paid a visit toPikesville and made the acquaintance ofsome ofthe residents, who induced them to mako it theirhome, and in a very short time they were located.After preaching in private houses and the villageday school Mr. Mettam thought there was a fieldopen for a Baptist churoh, and it was not longbefore one was started. Dr. James Smith con-tributed the ground and Mrs. Carroll the stonefrom her quarries, and Major Wise the timberfrom his woods and other contributions of moneyand labor, so that in February, 1835, the Pikes-villo Baptist Church was finished and opened forpublic worship, and up to the last year or two thoRev. Mr. Mettam has been its aotive pastor.Tba venerable couple have reached the advancedage of 80 and 81, respectively. They have fivechildren, all married, and some twenty-five grand-children, all living within eight milos of tho oldhomestead.”

“The Close of the Season.”—Tho follow-ing pretty linos, under the above caption, writtenby “D. S. G.” for the Sunday American, and dedi-cated to “The Towson Tennis Club,” wo are pleas-ed to transfer to our columns :

Farewell to all the jolly timesWe’ve had with ball and racket!

We’ve laid aside our tennis shoes,And doffed our flannel jacket.

The whitewash lines have disappeared,The oourts are helter-skelter;

The grass its early freshness lacks,The nets are under shelter.

The “server” and tho “striker-out”Have lost their occupation;

The small boy from the fence has gone,The “net-man” from his station.

No longer “pairs” a “love-set” play,Or “doubles” vie together;

They’ve substituted battlo-dores,The “douce” is in the weather.

Ah ! leaves are fallingfrom the trees,And wintry winds are blowing;

The fields are bare and desolate,Too short the days are growing.

The grounds that used to echo farGay laughter without measure,

Are hushed in chilling silence nowAnd stilled the sound of pleasure.

But when tho hoary frost departsAnd gentle spring again is,

Oh ! let us then revive anewThe grand old gameof tennis.

Recent Property Sales.—The CatonsvilleArgu* reports the following sales of property inthat section of the county :

Thellause property, containing 62 acres, situa-ted near Catonsville, was sold recently by Messrs.Machcn and Larned, trustees, for about $9,000.In view of tho dilapidated condition of the fencesand improvements and negloct of the land, it wasconsidered a very fair price.

Mr. E. Livczey, our resident real estate agentand broker, recently sold 27 acres on tho pike,one-fourth of a mile from the village, belongingto Mr. Jervis Spencer, to Mr. Win. B. Willsonfor the sum of$7,000.

Also 8 acres on the Old Itoad, formerly Mr.Robinson’s, and adjoining “Harlem Lodge,’’ withbeautiful dwelling, and grounds tastefully laidout and improved with a variety of ornamentaltrees and shrubbery, for the sum of SB,OOO, to Mr.Alexander, of Washington.

Mr. LLvezey sold about four months ago, some20 aores of land for Qen. John Gill, to Mr. D. C.Howell; price S4OO per acre.

Mr. Livezey Btates there is a good deal of try-ing for country-seats and property on tho line ofour Catonsville Short-Line, he having severalpartios now negotiating for property, and if theroad is managed to meet the views of purchasers,(fares moderate and frequent trains), there willbe a very largo addition to our population in thecoming spring.

Mr. Livezey has also succeeded in leasing“Harlem Lodge” to Mr. and Mrs. Parkhurst forthree years.

Theoutlook is very flattering for an active realestato movement for Catonsville, and very muchdepends on tho polity to bo adopted by our steamroad, in regard to having trains frequent andmoderato rates of fare to residents and every-daytravel over the road.

Forty-nine tried forone or the other of the prizes and forty-four tookthem. For weeks the children had been drilled,and forming in the chapel they marched into the

Kchurch by classes, each class bearing a bannor, alarge gold letter, and a harp string of flowers.—After service and sermon by the rector, Rev. W.H. 11. Powors, the superintendent, Dr. G. M. Bos-ley, read his report, giving the number of scholarsat 102, and the offerings of the school since Janu-ary, 18S5, sllß. As ho called the classes threemembers of each came forward, one bearing acard, which was handed the superintendent, whoread therefrom the name and motto of the class ;one bore a letter, which was hung before the deskor pulpit, and one child bore a string made oflovely flowers, which was strung upon a mam-moth harp of evergreen standing in the chancel.There were ton such strings, which when strung,made a harp musical with flowers. The text whencompleted was “Glory to God.” The prizes werethen distributed, after words of high commenda-tion and congratulation to the school for the accu-racy of their special recitations.

USEFUL INFORMATION.

Ice-Houses on theFarm.—An agriculturalpaper, speaking on this subject, says : “It is hardto understand why more farmers have not ico-houses. It is a significant fact that wherever afarmer has built an ice-house, he has not allowedit to be unused or to fall into decay. After aman has once had his harvest drink—water, teaand milk—cooled, he is not apt to subject himsolfto warm drinks again. Ice-watcr is to be con-demned ; but water cooled by ice is as much morewholesome than jfarm water as it is more palata-ble. The coolness impartod by ice adds as muchto the palatableness and wholesomeness of foodas it does to drink. Ice not only preserves andincreases the palatabloness of butter, but loss ofsweetness certainly indicates loss of wholesome-ness; and so with meats and fruits. Ice keepsmeat from tainting, thereby keeping it wholesomeas well as toothsome. Tho farmer cannot go tothe market every morning and purchase freshmeat, and he cannot keep meat in summer with-out ice; therefore tho farmer without an ice-housemust eat salt pork during hot weather, and thatis just what a large majority of us do. Ice willofton save meats, vegetables and fruits from spoil-ing outright. An ice-house robs the swill-barrel,but how much it saves for the table is hard to berealized without theaid of practical experience.”

Fall Pruning of Grape Vines.—Vines may

be pruned in tho fall as soon as the leaves havedropped. The pruning of a vine consists in cut-ting away all tho unnecessary bearing wood,leaving only short spurs with two or three eyeson the main shoots to produce fruit next year.The number of canes left to grow depends onthe system of training. If the alternate arm sys-tem is followed—one upright, with as many lat-erals as there are wires or bars on the trellis, areleft; if the single stake plan is chosen two canesare grown, one to make wood for bearing nextyear and one to bear fruit. If the fan-shapedmethod of training is desired, three, four or fivemain stems may be grown and lateral spurs lefton those to produce fruit for next year. The woodcut away should be tho whole of this year’sgrowth, excepting so much as will carry threeeyes.

Beware of Gunning Accidents.—Thegunning season is now in full blast, and we mayexpect to hear of the usunl number of accidentscaused by theoareless handling of fire-arms. Theskilled sportsman never risks his own life or thatof others by holdingor carrying his gun in sucha position as to endanger any one by its discharge.He appreciates tho dangerous character of hisweapon, and is, therefore, careful in handling it.Now that breech-loading arms are so generallyused, there is no excuse for keeping them loaded;whether loaded or not, the muzzle should at alltimes bo kept away from the body. It is just aseasy to acquire careful habits in handling gunsas to getother habits that place one in constantdanger of being self-wounded and perhaps killed.

Good Advice to Farmers.—The followingtimely advice to farmers is copied from a well-posted exchange: “This is the time of the yearfor farmers to push their fattening stock of al 1kinds. Owing to tho low price of grain, it willpay farmers better to feed the corn to their stookand sell it in that way than to sell the grain atthe present price. Sell your corn in the way ofpoultry, hogs and cattle, and you will accomplisha double object—get as good a price for it, andenrich your land at tho same time. Watch theland of your neighbor, who pursues this course,and see the steady improvement not only in tholand but in his purse as well.”

Some Wonders in Utah.New York Sun.

There is in the oxtreme north of Utah a mag-nificent subterranean reservoir of first-class soda

water, bubbling and effervescing out of the groundin such quantities that all America might be sup-plied. In the extreme south, on the road to Or-derville, is an exquisite circular lakelet that isalways just full to tho brim with water as dearand as green as beryl. And wherevor the wateroverflows the lake’s edge it encrusts the groundand tho grass and the fallen leaves upon it witha fine coating of limestone, so that the brim isgrowing higher and higher with tho impercepti-ble but certain growth ofa coral reef, and in thecourse of generations the lake will become a con-secrated basin.

Judge Pershing, of Pottsville, Pa., in chargingthe Grand Jury last Monday, violently denouncedlotteries and gift enterprises for church and char-itable purposes. He said such affairs were aspecies of gambling whioh took from men moneythat should go to the maintenance of their fami-lies. He denounced the county papers for adver-tising them, as they are conducted in open viola-tion of State and national statutes, and commend-ed the Philadelphia papers for helping to eradi-cate the evil here. “At Pottsville, on the otherhand,” said Judge Pershing, “the better class ofcitizens, generally candidates for office, are themanagers, and give caste to the violation of thelaw. Even the judges on the bench are not freefrom the assaults of projectors of these schemes,and have been in receipt of packages of tickets,and, when they declined to buy, were assailedwith curses.” Referring indirectly to the enter-prises of the Grand Army Post and fire company,thejudgo said: “Every man who violates the lawinvites some other man to violate another law. IfI may violate the law to suit my purposes, youhave as much right to violate a law to suit yourpurposes, and, finally, by a combination of cir-cumstances and parties, we may sweep away alllaws; anarchy follows, and the weak will be trod-den under foot by the strong. Liberty is the crea-ture of the law. Liberty is simply permission todo as the laws direct, and if we violate the law,that is an end to liberty. The Southern Stateswere only asked to obey the law, and when theyrefused war followed. The men who put downthat armed resistance to law with their bayonetsought not to be the men who now violate the law.Their object may be, and is, a commendable one,but their means are bad. lam glad the districtattorney has called my attention to tho matter,and I will allow him in his discretion to deal withthe matter in such away as its magnitude war-rants."

The Danger of Learning to Read.Philadeljyhia Times.

A story is told of an illiterate German who hav-ing been appointed to a country postoffice appliedto a waggish friend to know what his duties were.The latter told him among others that he was re-quired to read all the postal cards. The Germantried it for a week and then wanted to throw uphis commission on the ground that many of thomessages on the cards wore so badly written thatnobody could read them.

The Lehigh county postmistress who was latelyarrested for opening letters seems to have beenimpressed with tho idea that it was part of herduty to read the letters that passed through thooffice as well as the postal cards. She did notthrow up her commission because of the undeci-pherable characteristics of the latters. She hadlearned theart of deciphering illegible manuscriptand fairly reveled in the secrets of her neigh-bors’ business and love affairs.

If she had been more like her honest Germanco-official it would have been better for her. Aprompt resignation because she could not readthe letters and postal cards would have saved hera vexatious prosecution and a deal of unpleasantnotoriety. Mrs. Frump is a living testimonial tothe truth of tho saying that a little knowledge i 3a dangerous thing. Far better would it have beenfor the unfortunate woman if she had never learn-ed to read at all.

Funeral Etiquette In Mexico.Washington Republican.

Funeral etiquette is rigorously observed to theminutest particular by all classes in Mexico, anda death in the family has been the financial ruinof many a man. Black garments must be wornfor at least two years by every female relative,even to remote cousins and littlo children, whilemale relatives, however distantly connected, must,for an equal length of time, wear broad bands ofblack flannel upon their straw or felt hats, blacksilk neckties and black gloves, not to mentionthe scarf of crape, with flowing ends, which iskept tied above the elbow of the right coat sleevefor not less than six weeks after the funeral.Upon no account whatever must the ladies of thehousehold be seen anywhere in public during thetwo years of mourning. Jewelry and all adorn-ments must be laid aside, letter paper and envel-opes must conspicuously advertise the family af-fliction, and all the smallest signs of woe must bofaithfully employed—even by those who couldhave had little interest in the deceased, or when,as sometimes happens, death could have broughtnothing but welcome relief to all concerned.

Bad for Shirkers ofJury Duty.Philadelphia Times.

Judge White, of Pittsburg, has away of deal-ing with shirkers of jury duty which is very dis-couraging to the averago oitizon who thinks thathis private affairs are more important than theadministration of justice. While drawing a juryfor a murder trial Judge White found that a sus-piciously large number of the citizens in thepanelhad formed opinions as to the guilt or innocenceof the prisoner, for the purpose, apparently, ofgetting excused. He excused them, but orderedthem to stay in court throughout the trial. Thistreatment may seem harsh, but in view of thedifficulty ofotherwise punishing such unfaithful-ness to one’s duty as a citizen and the fact that ajuror is entitled to his per diem, whether he goesor stays in court, it was not a bit too harsh. Awholesome lesson on the duties of jury service isa good thing once in a while.

ing that the Swiss eulogize their country as “theland of Liberty.” The children of poor peopleare regularly hired out by auction in most of thocantons. There was a most painful scene recent-ly in the market place of Bial, a town near Berne,where, in spite of the heart-rending entreaties ofa widowed mother, her four young children, rang-ing from 2 to 10, were “placed” out for a year tothe highest bidder by the public crier, the familybeing thus broken up and separated for fear lestthe woman should be compelled to seek for assist-ance from the town. This is really very nearlyas bad as the old slave sales in America, and Ishould doubt whether there is any other countryin Europe where such an infamous system existsat the present time. The Swiss, in reality, are asordid, huckstering race.
