Prize Baby.

The agony is over, the parental pulse
of the Baby deposltors beat high with anX-
iety, oscilIaing between alternate feelings
of hope and fear. Those interested in
the Baby improvement have doubtless
seen the result and are aware that CHAs.
ORLANDO SCoTT was the fortunate baby.
We can imagine the "dear little crea-
lures" arranged like "lour and twenty
black birds all in a row." neatly labelled,
will. age, residence and the names Of
dam and Sire" reminding one of the
recent exhibitions of Shanghais, Guinea
Pigs, Game BOOSTERS and other useful and
ornamental articles Of husJandry. All
were doubtless sanguine of bearing of
the palm, and Of course the commissioners
were decided unanimously with the eX-
ception of the mother Of Charles Orlando)
TO be men devoid of taste or refinement.
Many an old bachelor will, we doubt not,
be induced TO forsake--
"The sullen silence of his cobweobed walls
And by uniting end it,"
and engage in the commendable move
men! Of improving the stock and having a
Prize Baby-although entertaining now
not the warmest regard for the music Of a
"cradle organ" Cultivation OF Babies is
likely to become, as the topper said of
"mint juleps," "National Institution"
1t is a pleasant reflection, that in the
midst of our acknowledged physical de-
generacy, steps are being taken TO i'm
prove the stock. "Vive Barnum lie Hum

SANITARY Measures.

Already the direst scOurge, that has ever
afflicted humanity, is doing lis work OF
death and desolaton in some parts of our
country. And while we hope the accus-
toned quiet of our village will not BE dis
lurbed by the prevalence Of Cholera, as
an epidemic, yet it behoovcS rs 10 adopt
such precautionary measures, as not only
to render its visitation improbable, but al
so to disarm it Of much of It's maignly,
should our worst fears be realized. We
should be prepared to meet i! by timely
attention to this matter, rccollectng that
"an ounce of prevention is better than a
pound of cure" 1t would be idle for us
to expect an escape when its victims are
yielding to its uncompromising demands
all around US still less foundation have
we for feeling secure, if the proper means
are neglected,
We feel confident our worthy and eff
cient Mayor will take active measures TO
have the streets cleaned and purified, and
we suggest also hearty cooperation in
this matter on the part of the citizens gen.
orally. ga word 10 the wise, &c."

HoHoway's Pills certain Remedy
for Indigestion and Liver Complaint
Maria Armstrong (27,) Of Edgartown,New
Jersey, suffered more than most people
from indigestion, accompanied by liver
complaint. several very clever medical men
told her she was in a consumption, and
her friends desparod of her ever recover
ing, as she had tried every thing they
thought likely TO benefit hc-, without sue
cess. At last she tried iIolloway's Pills,
which quickly assimilated with the blood,
removed the obnoxious matter, and
thoroughly cIeansed ard renovated the
system. The result is, that she was per-
fectly cured, and now enjoys the best Of
health. These Pills are also certain
cure for all diseases Of the stomach and

Quite a large crowd of ladies and gen
tlemen held Tournament and Pic Mic on
Saturday last, the 23rd inst, at Belinda
Springs, near Sharpsburg, Md. Heyser's
Band, of llagerstown, was present, and
enlivened The occasion with It's concord
of sweet sounds. A party of ladies and
gentlemen, from this place and nelghbor-
hood, took part in the festivities of the

procured:

Heavy Rains.

The weather is paying up sold scores"
with vengeance, and instead of a parch-
ed up earth, such as we had year ago,
we have rushing Of "mighty waters. "
Within the last month an immense guam
,ity of rain has fallen, overlooking
streams, saturating the earth, and impart-
ing to the growth of its vegetable produc-
tons an impetus which has rendered
them luxuIiant beyond precedent. On
Sunday evening last a heavy thunder gust
passed over this region of country, from
which rain descended in torrents for the
space of nearly one hour, Overlooking
wheat and corn fields, sweeping away
stone and rail fences, besides lnundaung
cellars in this place and overlooking some
of our streets.

FAMINE IN TExAs.-A letter from Pal
estne, Texas. dated May 26:h says
ave are on the brink Of famine. Last
night went supperless to bed, so as TO
save about teaspoonful Of meal for break
fast. Mr.. - the head of the writer S
family spent nearly all day on Saturday
hunting for meat without success. 10
day we managed to borrow peck from
lucky neighbor. The drought has been
so severe, that no one has raised any veg
etables. Meat is scarce, groceries are out
of the question. Half of oar merchant
are on the brink Of failure. There is no
transportation for cotton. Money never
was SO scarce.

The YELLED MURDEREss SENTENCED.
The notorious Henrietta Robson, the
"veiled murderess,' was sentenced at
Troy, N. Y. on the 10Th inst, by Judge
Harris, to be hung on the 3rd of August
next. When the Judge, III pronouncIng
sentence, commended her soul TO God 5
mercy, she told him he had better pray
for his own soul, declaring that she was
the victim of political conspiracy which
was calculated to crush an Innocent wo-
man.
When about to leave the court room
pointing her finger to the judge, she ex-
cIaimed-"Judge Harris, may the Judge
of Judges be your Judge
Much excitement was manifested by
the spectators.

Tall Oats.

We have at our office stalk Of Oats,
which was plucked promiscuously from a
lot near town, owned by MIR. Z. |, Lee
by reaching from the fence, which meas
ures feet; recollecl that ii has not
arrived at maturity and our informant as
sures US that he could select stalks from
the same lot which would exceed the
measurement Of this by several inches.
We also learn that the yield, throughout
the County, promises to exceed that OF
any former year the heads are large and
well filed.

OLD SoAP.-One Of the appraisers of
the personal property of the late Gerry
South, deu'd., informed us day or two
ago, that among the articles which came
under observation OF the Appraisers were
fifteen hundred pounds of Soap, portion
of which the excellent lady of Mr. South
assured them had been made with her
own hands more than fifty gears ago.
Now-a-days--in these modern, lashlona-
bic time--,he spinning of street yarn has,
10 very great extent, been substituted
for the making Of soap!--HageTStown
