PREMIUMS OF THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
In our notice, last week, of parties in this
county who had received premiums at the
Agricultural Fair recently held at Pimlico
near Baltimore city, we inadvertently omit
ted to mention the name of our friend, 3. F.
Carroll, ESQ.,, who received the second pre-
mium of $25, for his two-year old colt "Maxi-
milan" We had the pleasure of seeing this
animal on its return from the fair, and a
more perfectly formed and beautiful colt, in
all points, we never have seen. 1t is jet
black, and is of the patrick Henry" stock,
so well known ia this county.
The name of Mr.. Haviland, who was men,
toned as receiving the premium for q yoke
of oxen, was unsupported in the Baltimore
papers, as Mr.. "Hawsand"-apd SO copied
into our own. We desire to make the cor
rection.

FIRE AT THE ALMsHoUsE.-On Monday
morning about nine o'clock, one of the build.
ings at the Almshouse was discovered to be
on fire. Mr.. Charles Worthington, the over
seer, and his son, were both at some distance
of at the time, and when they reached the
scene the fire had made such progress that
all attempts to save the building proved in
etectual, and it was entirely destroyed. The
other buildings, including the dwelling house,
were saved, though the latter caught fire
several times. The building destroyed con-
tanned at the time eight persons several
of whom narrowly escaped being burned.
The fire had its origin, it is thought, from
defect in the chimney We understand
that preparations are being made for the
speedy erection of a temporary structure
for the use Of the inmates, until perma-
nent and comfortable quarters can be pro-
vided.

7une--Old Uncle Ned, or something.
Twas somewhere near to the Wilcox block,
OF late on Friday night,
When the staggering form of . chap forlorn
Came forth in the street lamp light.
Where Chatham street is joined to Main,
In that lamplight dim was he,
And heard him say as came that way
Some words that puzzled me.
Unkcmpt his hair and his eyes were bleared,
Tattcrcd the coat he wore,
While across his back in gunny sack
bottle Of Zip he bore.
II can drink or can let it alone"
Were the words l heard him say,
And he gave Il hug to his tipple jug
In R fathcrly sort OF way.
my friend" said I, and stepped up close
For spoke in an undertone,
"'Tis easy to think that you can drink,
But can you let it alone Z"
Slowly his maudln eyes are turned
In that lamplight's garnish fare,
While the end of his nose focus shows,
For luminous SPOT is there.
Il let it alone just when l please,
paddle my own canoe,
| shall ask the chance of you"
Then that tippling man he turned around
And he padded his own canoe,
But it came in my mind to folio. behind
For | thought him trihe blue.
And thought him trihe blue. because
OF the oddi>h way in which
He exhibited fuidle in stunning puddle,
And landing himself in n ditch.
Thought l. my man. perhaps 'twould help
You somewhat on your way,
If you carried freight of lesser weight,
So | got him 20 survey
Sam Sherw GODS grist mill over the stream,
Aud when he turned about
I started the plug from his tipple jug,
And let his flip run out.
81 can drink or I can let it alone
Twas thus he spoke again,
And he gave leer so very queer.
How odd of those tipping men.
And he to k his jug, did that tipping man,
And just beneath his nose
He placed the nozzle and tried to guzzle, !
But / can scarce suppose
That he got much flip. for heard him say
As he set his jug on a stone,
Il hardly think that I can drink,
But l know | can let it alone"
MORAL.
Don't carry your flip in gunny sack,
Don't set your jug on stone,
Dent say you think that You can drink
Or you cap let it alone.
Don't plant your nose in lamp lights fare,
Don't paddle your canoe,
Don't give a jug to your tipple jug,
Don't get trife bllc.
And learn from this ycracinus tale
What others long have known,
IF one cant get the fluid to wet
His whistle, he'll let it alone
