Death of Henry r. ReynOldS. FISH,

Death Of Henry r. Reynolds, Esq.-H.
II. Reynolds, Esq, the well known Carpcn-
ter and Builder of Baltimore. died suddenly
on Monday last. The deceased was in his
usual good health up to about 8 o'clock on
Sunday evening, when he complained of
being i'll, and physician was called in,
but without avail, as he expired about 3
O'Clock, only six hours after the attack
He died at his residence, of disease of the
heart, in his 59th year. Mr.. Reynolds went
to Baltimore from this county when quite
a young man, and commenced business as
a carpenter and builder, and at once identi-
institutions of the city. At the time of his
death he was Past Master of Union
Lodge No. GO. Ancient Free and Accepted
Masons a member of the Maryland Com
mandery No I, Knights Templar, and also
a member of St. Johns Royal Arch Chap
ter !; he was also a prominent member of
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
Some few years since Mr.. Reynolds ranked
among the most successful and enterpris-
ing builders in the city, and among the
many handsome edifices that he either
built or superintended may be mentioned
the Sun Iron Building, the Maryland In
stitute, Carroll Hall, the Washington Build
ing, and many others. He at one time
filled the position of Commissioner of Pub
lie Works with great acceptability, and
subsequently held responsible position in
the custom-house. In all the relations of
life the deceased was beloved and respected,
and the loss of warm-hearted and genial
friend and companion will be felt by a
large circle of acquaintance.

A Bear ShOw.-We were visited on Tues
day last, by a travelling "show," consisting
of common black bear and a couple of
dogs. 1t opened in the Howard House
yard, but not proving remunerative as a
private exhibition, a small purse was made
up on Wednesday, and the bear, dogs and
proprietor gave a street performance to a
crowd of our citizens. The exhibition con-
sisted of leading the bear round by strap,
teasing him with the dogs, to escape which
the bear took to one of the trees in the
Court House yard, which he assembled with
a rapidity that astonished the beholders.-
After descending to the ground, he mounted
the back of the proprietor, who carried him
up and down the street as if he were a
monkey. This part of the performance
! bn avI,i1,ifpr nfn11y n
''bear riding baboon." He would occa-
sionally let the bear run around among the
crowd, creating great conf sion. Alto
gether, the scene was one of much amuse-
ment.

sey, of the Chesapeake City Public School,

their children are placed.
ssAcrOss the Ocean.,-The fourth lee
ture of the course will lie delivered ON
Thursday evening next, the It'll inst, by
Major A. w. Hancock, of Baltimore sub
ject "Across the Ocean, We are assured
by those who have heard the Major deliver
this lecture, that we can promise our peo-
pie a rich treat. The lecture was lately
delivered in the course i'll the Maryland
Institute, and drew the largest audience of
the season. The lecture is represented to

Change Of Firm.-As will be seen by
our advertising columns, Stephen b. Foard
has purchased the store of ]. L. Carhart, at
Zion, and will continue the establishment on
the same terms and in the same style
Mr.. Foard is well known as store keeper
in other parts of the county, and we
have no doubt the citizens of Zion and
vicinity will find him a man fully up to the
times. Mr. Carhart's name has so long
figured in THE Wigs columns that it has
become to seem almost inseparable there
from. We wish him the most abundant
success wherever his lot may be cast.
Hurt by Circular Saw.-Mr Charles
Cooper, at Gilpins' Falls Mills, narrowly
escaped serious injury, OH Monday last
While engaged saving palings piece of
timber came in contact with the teeth of
the saw, throwing the missile with great
force against his breast, striking large
hunting-crse silver watch which he had in
his pocket at the time, completely demolish-
ing it, and knocking Mr.. Cooper down and
injuring him considerably. A physician
was called in, who applied the proper RENE
dies and at last accounts the young man
was doing well.
Christmas. day, around which
cluster such sacred associations in all
christian lands, was observed in Elkton by
