MEssRs. EDIToRs: The subscriber must
come back to his old love, and tell you what
is going on in this burgh.
The gunners called meeting on Thurs
day night, and Robert r. Vandiver, Esq,
was called to the chair, and A. Vosberry chos-
en- secretary. The President then asked
some one to name the purpose of the meet
ing, when Col. J. T. Frieze arose and stated
that the gunners wished to express their views
in regard to the late cunning law, and ascer-
tain what action could with propriety be tax
en-, so that the men could follow their legiti-
mate business, in order to support their families
this winter. AS all know, the law was passed
so as to please the fancy ola lot OF Dead
Ducks who have plenty of means to do as
they please, and deny the poorer class means
of obtaining living. They are not aware
that ifno ducks are shot here, they will not
get a dart, as the shooting of them on the flats
drives them down the river to ther feeding
grounds, and as for decreasing the num-
Der, it is impossible, as they come in millions
and have been coming ever since the Indians
left here, and no amount of cunning can ever
drive them away, the feeding ground being
inexhaustable. 1t will certainly cause great
distress here during the winter, and many
child will 60 hungry. General business will
also be dead, as all know that no great fortune
is made in the business, there being so many
depending upon cunning 1t is greatly to
their praise the manner in which the meeting

THE COUNTY DISTRICTS.

One thing, we think, is urgently demanded
by the exigencies of the times, and that is
the subdivision of the Election Districts of
Hartford county into precincts, after the
manner of Baltimore county, which, though
of larger area is not more densely populated
than Hartford. By the division of the five
election districts into two or more precincts,
with due reference to their geographical cen
tres, the convenience of voters would be
vastly subserved AS now distributed many
voters in the several districts have to ride
twelve or eighteen miles to reach the voting
place, which is too great a tax upon patri.
otism, and doubtless robs the ballot boxes of
scores of votes, because of the inability of the
aged and invalid to make tue journey.
The necessity of a division of the unwieldy
district into precincts is enhanced by the
fact that the vote of the county is increased
at least twelve hundred by the negro vote.
AS an illustration The vote of Third
(Bel Air) District, by the figures of the last
registration will foot up at least thirteen
hundred. The hours between which ballots
are receivable are fixed by law from A. M.
to @ P. Must five hundred and forty min
utes. Admitting the Judges and Clerks ca
pable ofreceiving and registering the ballots
of two voters per minute, only one thousand
and eighty votes could be taken within the
time allotted-leaving taoo hundred and taoenty
yet to be voted. Even admitting that all
ballots can be deposited within the hours
mentioned, yet it cannot possibly be accom-
plished without haste, confusion and proba
bly, error, which should be rendered imposs.
bic in SO important a matter as an election.
We simply moke the suggestion Of q SUBJ
division, and urge II because we honestly
think that the interests of the cause and the
convenience of the people will be subserved
thereby. The consummation of the change
rests with the Board of County Commission
ers, to whose wise and enlightened consider
alton we for the present 'eave the subject.
The increase in the number of voting
places would of course necessitate a cores
ponding increase in the number of judges
and clerks but where there are now three
Judges to each district there need be but two
judges and one clerk in each precinct, for the
prompt accomplishment of the work
A consultation with the citizens of each
district would lead at once to the designa-
ton of such points or centres as are most eli
gible for voting places within the precincts,
and the change could be speedily brought
about without revolution or any great ex-
pense to the county.
The serious consideration of SO important
matter ought not to be longer delayed

CORNER STONE LAYING.-The corner
stone of new Methodist Protestant church
was laid at Dry Branch, in Marshall's dis
trict, on Saturday last, by Mt. Ararat Lodge
of Free and Accepted Masons. The occa.
sion was one of considerable interest, and
drew together some five or six hundred per-
sons. An interesting and instructive address
was delivered by Rev. Mr.. Murray, of Balti-
more, and at the conclusion of the ccremo.
MES, collection was taken up, which amour
ted to some 5000. A bountiful dinner was
provided upon the ground by the ladies of
the congregation, to which full justice was
done. The Rev. Mr. Winner is the pastor
of the circuit, and it is mainly through his
efforts that the enterprise has been so aus
piciously begun

THE EARTHQUAKE; the shock of which
passing eastwardly and westwardly across
this continent, on Thursday last, shook the
foundation of many cities, causing some con-
sternation, was also experienced in Bel Air,
but not generally. Several persons heard
the rumbling noise, but attributed it to thun-
der, as the day was stormy. Our exchanges
have been filled with speculations upon this,
our last earthshake, and skeptics, who be-
lieve that the "world grows grey and old, I"
affirm that the end of all things draws nigh,
and that the earthquake

The coal business is very brisk just now
1t is rumored here that an effort is being

The accident that happened to Mrs. Het-
rick and daughter last Monday was very Sc
we're, especially to the young lady. The horse
they were driving was young and spirited,
and as they were driving along, one of the
steam tugs blew whistle, which startled the
horse and he ran down towards the mill, and
just as he reached there, the engineer let off
steam as usual, which of course frightened
the horse again, when he turned Immediately
around, so short as to throw them against
the fence adjoining Mr.. Kelsners store. He
soon kicked himself Free and made for the
post road, where he was caught. The bug
gy, a new one, was entirely demolished
Messrs John Wright g. Co. have opened
a green grocers' store, near the Hartford

The Methodist Church are having some
improvements done, which will give more

There seems to be scar city of eggs and
butter in our market. Farmers can get good
prices now for these articles.
The Tow commissioners are laying down
and repairing the board walks, which need
it sadly, as it is dangerous to walk at night,
with no lamps to guide the way.
The thieves have began again to enter
houses, and pick up whatever comes handy.
Mr.. Reddington's store was entered on We'd
nesday and So taken from the drawer. Messrs.
Lauder & Cos butcher shop was entered
and $25 stolen from the money drawer; and
Capt. Sadler's chicken house was cleared en-
tire of fine lot of nice chickens; but strange
to say, the thieves are never found, ut
least they always get off with their booty.
Yours, Wise.
