The Duty of Democrats.
BALTIMORE COUNTY, July 22d, 1877

| BALTlMORE COUNTY, July cd, 1867.
MIR. EDITOR: Why is it that some of our
friends still persist in holding out in opposition
| to Mr.. Greeley, after such an unanimous nomi-
nation rs he received on July 10th, at the Nation
al Democratic Convention? After the people of
| the South, our friends so strongly and boldly
| came out in favor of him, hailing him as their
deliverer, and expecting through him to have
their friends liberated from the horrible prison
| houses of North and South Carolina. The an
| swer is, pride-mistaken pride. II they have
| any love for the South-for that land which was
| SO ruthlessly desolated by the late war; if they
have any love for our mutual friends, the South
! ern people, with whom we are SO intimately
| associated and so strongly allied, they will alone
their folly and fly to the rescue of their friends
whom they so nobly assisted by words and deeds
| during the late war
| heard young Democrat of Bel Air say, YES
| terday, that "Grant had never done him any
| harm" / wonder if he ever did him any good
| Now, this is not the spirit which should govern
| us at this time. We should not be SO selfish as
| to think of ourselves alone, but think of those
thousands of crushed hearts who are anxiously
awaiting the change, which surely must come
| q change which we hope will purge from our
| land the misrule and corruption which now
| reign predominant over it-a change which will
| country.
For myself, l will say that l am native of
| Richmond, Va. entered the Confederate army
| from Maryland at the age of sixteen years, and
at this time claim to belong to the great Demo
cratic party; and in regard to the great political
| point now before us, should say that under the
| existing circumstances we can do nothing better
than accept the situation and trust to Mr.. Gree.
ley's honesty; for really, to do his worst he can
not make matters worse than they are at present
| We have bright future before us, and 1t is our
duty to 60 heart and hand in the great conflict,
and show to the world that the American people
still live; that they will have q voice In the
affairs of their country, and equal rights restor-
| ed, cost what it may.
There are at this time, in North and South
Carolina, hundreds of their best citizens incarce-
rated and dying in military prisons, hurried from
home at midnight, without moments warn
ing; not knowing why they were arrested, and
as yet never having had trial, and no doubt
never will. This, my friend, is true. Alas
| too true. In conclusion, will merely quote
| an old maxim: "Of the two evils, take the
lesser" BONE DUST AND PHOSPHATE

wheat, which will not average three bushels to

ACCIDENT.
On Wednesday last Mr.. Martin Ryan met with
serious accident He was riding a wild horse,
and when near the Franklin school house his
horse became frightened and threw him, drag
ging him some distance by the stirrup. He was
taken up and carried home in an insensible con-
dition: His injuries are dangerous and it is
thought will terminate fatally His sad misfor-
tune is deeply regretted by his friends, as he is
highly esteemed by every one
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
During the storm on Thursday evening last
the dwelling of Mr.. Marion d. Carr, on Deer
Greek, was struck by lightning, and complete
wreck made of it. A large portion of the roof
and weather boarding was torn off, the chimney
thrown down, the stove knocked to pieces and
the furniture in the house knocked into "pi :"
in short, the house looks as if bomb-shell had
exploded in it. Fortunately Mr.. Carr was away
from home, and his lady when she saw the storm
coming took her infant and went to one of her
neighbours. If the family had been in the house
when struck by the fluid, they must have all been
killed.
POLITICAL.
The Democrats and few Conservative Repub-
licans in our district will support Greeley for
President, in order to disenthral our beloved
country from the pandemonium it has been cast
into by the usurpng tanner and his minions.-
For Congress we are unit and will support the
Hon. Stevenson Archer with our full force
Stevy has made us one of the best members that
we have ever had, and we are determined to re-
elect him to the high position that he has here
tofore filled with high honor to himself and to
the entire satisfaction of his friends. At this
time Mr. Archer is the most popular gentleman
i'll this congressional district, and will be eleva-
ted by majority that will make the party of all
corruptions howl MARS

A FREDERICK COUNTY BARoN.-It now
seems that we are to furnish Germany with u
Maryland Baron. DR.. Zollicoffer q member
of an old and highly respected Frederick Co.
(Md) family, who traced their descent back
to noble German ancestry, saw, or heard
incidentally recently, that the last baron of
his name was dead and heirs were wanted
He proceeded to Germany with his family
papers and documents, and was acknowl-
edged and received warmly by his relatives
But the best of the story is that the Won
Zollicoffers are nearly allied to the Hohenzol-
lerns; that the american baron" was re-
ceived as q kinsman by Kaiser Wilhelm, and
with his castle and lands he has an income of
fifty thousand dollars year. Dr. Zolicoffer's
sister Mrs. Amos, of Baltimore, was noted for
her beauty and refinement, and was quite u
belle some twenty years ago, residing with
her aunt Mrs. David Keener, but the circum-
stances of these fortunate Zolcoffers were at
that period under cloud.-Sunday 7ele-
gram.
[Dr. Zollicoffer resided in Hartford county
for some time, few years ago. and by his
agreeable manners and fine social qualities,
won for himself many friends, who will re-
joice in his prosperity

Hon. d. w. Voorhees, has accepted the
Democratic nomination for Congress, at a
convention in Indiana. In q carefully-pre-
pared speech, on the occasion, he said he
thought the Democratic party was infinitely
preferable, even with Greeley as its candidate,
to the Republican party under Grant and
his managers.
Horace Greeley, it is said, will certainly
be present at the next agricultural fair at
Pimlico in October, and tell what he knows
about farming.

A SPLENDID FIELD OF CoRN-One of the
most successful farmers in this county is Mr.
VIM Woolsey, near Churchville. He has
now growing on his farm field of corn
which can only be compared to pine forest
in appearance, from the statelness of Its
growth and the density of foliage.
Messrs. George Kenly and John Barnes
also have fine fields of corn, nearly but moi
quite as good as Mr.. Woolsey's.

Affairs mt Darlington.

MIR. EDITOR: A number of pleasant events
have occurred in our village dnring the last week,
not OF course important enough to attract gene
RAJ attention, but interesting to citizens of Har-
ford.
PRESENTATION OF CANES.
On Saturday last after the adjournment of the
Board OF Directors of the Darlington Mutual
Building Association, the President, w. w. Will
son, and the Treasurer, p. w. Silver, were recip-
ients OF a present of canes from the Stockhold-
ers. DIR. III. Clay Whiteford presented the gift
to the president with the following neat ad-
dress:
"Mr. President have the honor in behalf of
the Stockholders Of this Association to present
you with testimonial of our high appreciation
OF your services during an administration of
three years. We do not hope in this way to
compensate you for your patient, intelligent and
successful management of the affairs of this AS
soclatlon; we are sure, a much more valuable
GIT would be but slight remuneration, yet we
trust you VIII see in the compliment q proof of
our grateful feelings, and an acknowledgement
OF our confidence Permit me to place in your
hands this cane, in the name of the Darlington
Mutual Building Association"
10 which Mr.. Wilson pleasantly and feeingly
responded. He thanked the Association for this
unexpected token of their regard, and alluded
with sincere pleasure to the long period of his
administration in which had happened nothing
to be regretted.
John NJ. Cooley presented the Treasurer a cane
"Mr Treasurer On behalf of the Associa-
ton, beg you to become a recipient of sim
liar testimonial as slight expression of our es-
teem."
Mr.. Silver thanked the donors for this compl-
ment equally unexpected and agreeable
After which proceedings we made our way to
the Academy, which was the scene of festival
under the supervision of the ladies of the p. E.
Church. Ice cream, cakes and good humor were
abundant. Every face seemed radiant. and al
most every tongue in motion.
Eyes looked love to eyes which spake again
And all went merry as a marriage bell.
SUMMER VISITORS.
During the Summer months quite a number
OF strangers are residents this vicinity, attract
ed by the double charm of beautiful scenery and
agreeable people Many of these graced the fes-
tival and gave additional piquancy to gather
ing OF our own beautiful home girls, and gallant
youth. But the sweetest charm in my eyes was
the patient earnest and unfagging efforts of the
ladies, who, for the purpose of building church
in our midst, toiled over the tables, and with no
thought of themselves, but engrossed with the
noble object devoted to it so many weary hours.
