That detestable old fraud, Professor
Plantamour, is out with another prediction;
but this time we will take no stock in him.
We believed him when he said that a
comet would strike the earth last August,
so we distributed our property around
among our relations, and tried to sell that
oil stock of ours, and paid all our bills, and
shot lite-insurance agent, whowas persecu-
ting us, in the leg, and sold our dog to a
man named Smith, and gave all our railroad
passes to q revenue collector whom we be-
lieved to be ridiculously incredulous about
the comet. Then we sat out in the back
yard all OF the night on which the comet
was to arrive with our head covered with
hair mattress, to soften the blow. 1t is
well known that the comet did not come.
And those ungrateful relations not only
refused to hand back the property, but
Smith educated the dog to obtain rations
from our legs as we passed his house; the
revenue collector traded off the passes for a
revolver, with which he called around to
enforce payment Of our income tax and the
lite-insurance agent paid his companys
doctor to strip us in the street in order to
sound our liver with some kind of a metallic
club. And now Plantamour says that the
sun will die out and we will all be frozen
to death in the year 2011. 1t is too thin.
If he imagines that we will set out in the
back yard from now until 2011 he has mis-
taken our character i ar Adeler.

Ordination and Installation of Rev. ID. X.
Campbell.

The Baltimore Presbytery met on Thurs
day evening, October 81st, at an adjourned
meeting, in the Grove Church, Aberdeen.
The committee appointed for the examina-
ton of Rev. Mr.. Campbell reported that they
had examined him, and that he passed an en-
tirely satisfactory examination; after which
Rev. J. p. Carter was appointed to preside
and propose the usual questions, the Rev.
Mr.. Beale to preach the preparatory Sermon
the Rev. w. G. Cooke to give the charge to
the Pastor, and the Rev. Mr.. Smith the charge
to the people.
After some routine business, the Presby-
terry retired to the basement of the church,
where they received rich repast. At seven
o'clock the exercises began. The house was
crowded, and all seemed interested
After the ordination and installation, Mr.
Campbell was welcomed by the congregation
in order. We congratulate the congregation
on having such an active, energetic man, and
so popular preacher Mr.. Campbell, we
learn is a speaker mot reader0 and we con-
graduate him on having such field for USE
fulness, and that among class of people
that are always agreeable and teachable.
During the few weeks that he was among
them previous to his ordination, the congre.
CATION made several improvements in the
church. New carpets were laid, the old an
tique pulpit torn down (as we understand the
preacher does not approve of pulpits) and q
small reading desk placed in its stead. The
congregation is increasing in members, and
we hope Mr. Campbell with all his earnest
ness, will be the means of much good.

THE House DISEASE has reached its crisis
in Baltimore city. The Sun of Wednesday
says:
The full extent of the horse epidemic was
more plainly evidenced yesterday than upon
any previous day since it began, because of
their being fewer vehicles upon the streets
drawn by horses, whilst the number drawn
and pushed about by men showed a visible
increase. The interruption to travel was un
changed, there being no cars run upon any
except the Halls Spring line to barley Park.
Thesituation, announcement as it is, is not
without its comic side, however. On Tues
day two yoke of oxen passed through Holli-
day street, and as they encountered passing

the contrast between the bipeds and the quad

The Tribune publishers the following
card:
"The undersigned resumes the editorship
of the Tribune, which he relinquished on
embarking in another line of business six
months ago. Henceforth it shall be his en-
deavor to make this thoroughly indepen-

eating the wrath ofno one. If he can here.
after say anything that will tend to hearth
ly unite the whole American people on the

that consummation by silence and forbear-

"The victors in our late struggle can
hardly fail to take the whole subject of
Southern rights and wrongs into early and
earnest consideration, and to them he for
the present RENTS it.
"Since he will never again be a cand idatc
for any office, and is not in full accord
with either of the great parties which have
hitherto divided the country, he will be
able and will endeavor to give wider and
stoadier regard to the progress of science
industry and the useful arts than partisan
journal can, and he will not'be provoked to
indulgence in those bitter personalities
which are the recognized bane ofjournal

will do his best to make the Tribune

The New York World comments on the
recent dismissal of a white cadet from the
Naval Academy at Annapolis in manner
more pertinent than classical: 1t says
The black cadet at Annapolis trod on
down. Black comes up to the scratch and
fight ensues, blacky gets licked, and
the white boy is dismissed the service in
disgrace. Now had it been two white
cadets who got by the ears, would "the
Government ever have interfered? And had
blacky clicked" his antagonist, instead of
being licked himself, would the white boy
have been kicked out of the Academy ?

A Suggestion.

The election held on Tuesday shows the
necessity, we think, at least in this the third
election district of the county, of having two
voting precincts instead of one for the accom-
mediation of voters. There were none, per-
haps, who offered to vote on that occasion
who did not cast their ballots, but the time
necessarily consumed in the examination of
the registry lists and other unavoidable de-
lays, made it tedious business on the part
of each voter to wait his turn in the line for
n chance to give his vote. Besides this, the
whole registered vote at this place was not
cast, and even on Tuesday the over crowded
state of the polls was felt as n serious incon-
venience. Should the entire registered vote
be brought out hereafter, at its present num-
bers only, the evil would of course be proper
tionately increased-not allowing for the in
crease in Numbers, from year to year, that is
steadily going on.
We speak here of our own district only,
but probably others in the county may also,
with equal force, demand the same increased
facilities in this matter
Wemade the same suggestion two years
ago, and very many persons agreed with us
as to its eXpedency If such change were
brought about we know of no more conve-
nient point than Churchville for the centre of
another voting precinct in this district.
Would it not be well for the next Legsla-
turc to be reminded of the evil by our coun-
ty delegates, so that some action to remedy
the defect may be adopted 1t has been done
in several districts in Baltimore county, to
the great relief and satisfaction of voters
