The owner of property who is gifted with
ordinary judgment and common prudence
loses no opportunity of improving it to the
extent of his ability if he has any desire for
its increase in value, and in honest truth
what property owner is without this desire !?
1t seems strange that communities are so
slow to do what it is natural for individuals
to do, yet it is fact, and hard to be accounted
for upon any other theory than that of the
disposition of people to cut off their noses to
spite their face. In their fear of doing their
neighbor some good they forget they are in
juring themselves. We sincerely hope there
will be no disposition Of this sort manifested
when the work of raising money for this
railway shall have begun but that each one
of our citizens will contribute according to
his means and the good which must accrue
to him.

live black bass and brook trout, which arc to

PERcHERoN HoRsEs-We recently saw,
at the Washington House Stables, Bel Air,
Young Major, very fine specimen of the
Percheron breed of horses, belonging to VIM
F. Pannell, Esq, of this county. These
horses have met with great favor wherever
they are known. They possess remarkable
strength and endurance, and are extremely
docie and tractable-qualities making them
very desirable for carriage or draft horses
Young Major is good specimen of his breed
He has a delicately. shaped head, expressive
eyes, a wellpoised neck, and the appearance
of great muscular power. He is withal very
gentle. A few years agoJ. Howard McHen-

half an inch long, and then draw up
until it is as round as ball. Its head
is black, and its body is brown, or q
red orange brown. It is very ugly
looking creature. l wish some ono
would tell US what It is, and how 10
manage it to the hes. advantage. Il
may possibly be what is called the
