The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
calls the attention of parties who have
deeds, mortgages, &C., executed prior to

Of an intent to evade the law should be
reported to the United States District At
torney for prosecution. Where parties on

deeds, &C., issued without the requisite
stamps previous to October LIST, 1872, il

tending to prove an intent to eyade the
law. Any party who, with intent to cvade
the law, issues, accepts, negotiates, or pays
any check, draft Of order not duly stamped,

HooD's MILLS IrEMs.--July 1.-THE Their
mometer standing Mt 95o is no inducement to
write locals, and | assure You much less to
hunt for them.
The Fourth passed off in this part of the
world very quietly. The good people Of
Sykesville held an allday, and almost an all
night picnic, at which they, and 1.-THE young,
males and females, for miles around, greatly
enjoyed themselves, ice cream and dancing
being all the go.
Having taken an extended ride through the
county since our last, we are enabled to give
you fattering account Of the appearance Of
the different crops. Everywhere we find the
wheat very superior, and more than an aver.
age yield is claimed. If -four should be high
this fall, wild speculation, and not scarcity Of
grain, will be the cause.
Oats.--ln general we find this crop good
many fields presenting as fine an appearance
as the farmer can desire, and after a days
ride we came to the conclusion that this crop
would come fully up TO the average
CorH.-Right and left, behind and before,
this crop looks well, not so tall as it should
be, but strong good stalks, deep green color,
indicating health and vigor, and an abundant
yield. From all we could see land we saw
much Of the county, there is every prospect
OF an abundant yield Of all kinds Of grain.
Aecident.-A sad accident occurred at this
place on Monday last An individual of our
acquaintance while walking down the track
was struck in the side by that Horse, and
died yesterday from the effects. This sudden
visitation has cast gloom over the friends
and relatives Of the family, and the ten Mrs.
Chandeliers, and their eighty children mourn
the loss Of their best friend and only protec.
tor. Sad affection.
Is It not strange how the same causes pro-
duce different effects upon different persons ?
We are taught that like produces like, yet
marriage with some is happiness, others mis-.
cry. Wealth creates great amount Of I'M
happiness, and very little bliss. A more op.
posite difference have learned is caused BY
Fruit Cake. This cake, ifpartaken of freely,
viii sometimes cause great pains, accompan.
led by deadly sickness. learned lately that
gentleman who partook freely Of this luxury
experienced great giddiness Of the head, as
well as acute pains in the stomach. He
said II be had not kaorn that he had eaten
fruit cake his feelings would have led him 10
believe he had been indulging in good old
currant or blackberry wine, but as he had
only eaten the cake, that caused all his mis-.
fortunes. Singular case, is il not?
