DorHI.E PRS cnrrx IrKus As the cxcur.
sion train west, on Sunday, arrived here,
at 10, IS p. m. il ran into a herd OF young cat.
lie and broke the lex Of fine heifer belonging
TO Mr. Samuel Haugh. The second train did
not arrive till 2.i5 a. m. Some persons were
here with carriages for their families and
friends, expecting them in the first train, but
they having missed Il. had to wait for the
next ! don't know how much the drivers
prayed FROM ten 10 two o'clock, while they
were waiting.
Almost every day there are fishermen here
some even coming from Baltimore. Ladies'
and gentlemen try to fish, but catch few fish,
because some don't know how. Some court
too much, and some imbibe too freely of the
ardent which they bring with them. There
is none sold here.)
So concluded like old Peter, I" go fish
ing and on Tuesday with rod, line and hook,
| went and caught forty-two fish, among which
were three very fine bass, eight fall fish, four
Of them as large as large herring, and several
good size sun.iish. had no fancy tackle,
such as fine hair lines, flies, etc. My line was
one Of my own twisting, and the rod cut from
the thicket. On former trial ] caught five
bass, and turtle weighing over eight pounds.
The (" Eureka Fly Catehers" are making
sad havoc among the flies; they certainly are
the grandest thing in their line ever known
to man. Every family ought to have one, 81
can the spent for better purpose than to
buy one. II It were impossible TO procure
another, ] would not part with II for $50,

Emory Grove CAMP. - From Saturday
up to the present time the crowd of persons
in attendance has been large. All the trains
to and from the Camp have been filled al.
most to snfocation. On Sunday it is estima.
ted that 10000 persons were present, and
over 400 vehicles were on the ground. The
trains have been running very irregular, the
morning mailtrain from Baltimore being nearly
an hour behind time. 1t is expected that the
railroad will be taxed to its utmost capacity
tomorrow. No accidents have taken place
so far, and the railroad officials have been
highly complimented for the great care taken
in the transportation of such a large number
Of persons and the running Of so many extrn
trains.
We understand that the Railroad Company
are likely to realize from the travel to and
from the Emory Grove Camp, the handsome
sum of ST., 900 over and above all expenses.

PAxIc ~ THE Cause.-The Frederick excur.
sion train, consisting Of nine well packed cars,
returning from Emory Grove Camp, on Sun.
day evening, came down the grade between
Reisterstown and Finksburg at terrific rate
ofspeed- The cars seemed TO leap from the
track, and the jolting was so violent that some
OF the passengers were thrown out Of their
seats upon the floor. Women and children
began TO scream, and general panic ensned.
Nothing but the hand 81 an Overriding Prov
idence prevented crash, . said a gentleman
from Westminster, who was passenger on
the train. When at the foot of the grade the
speed was slackened, and the engineer and
conductor were asked for an explanation, ii
was said that the brakes were unable to he'd
the cars, by reason Of the immense weight Of
the train. Another account says there were
not brakesmen enough 10 attend to the train,
which Is, perhaps, more probable. Whatever
the cause, the Company should investigate Il,
and see to il that like occurrence shall moi
happen again

FRuIr PAcKIsG.--Seven miles north OF
Westminster, on the Littleston turnpike, is
located the village Of Union Mills, where is
situated one of the largest fruit packing estab.
hshments in the State. The country surround
ing Union Mills is well adapted TO the cult.
Walton Of fruit and vegetables, and Mr.. B. F.
Shriyer four years ago concluded 10 start a
packing establishment, the work at that time
being done in a small log building. Finding
his trade increasing so rapidly, last year be
and his brothers formed a copartnership. B.
r. Shriyer & Co. and expended upwards of
$4,000 in erecting building and procuring
the latest improved machinery. The building
is the shape Of an L, Sc feet long and 80 feet
wide; the main building is 45x3s feet, two
stories high, contains an engine, boiler room,
and soldering room and the capacity Of the
works is from eight to ten thousand cans daily.
In order to let our readers know the extent
to which fruit-packing is done by these gen
tlemen, we visited them on Monday afternoon
and gathered the following facts as to what
has been done this year. They have packed
400 dozen cans Of cherries, 1000 dozen of
blsckberries, 200 dozen whortleberries, 800
dozen OF peas, 80 dozen Of raspherries, 600
dozen OF string beans, 100 dozen Of pears
and when in full operation they usually EN-.

then work will commence in earnest fire..
quently requiring them to work until ~ O elk
at night. The Messrs. Shriver have opened
market for fruit and vegetables, which, in
many instances, has heretofore been allowed
to go to waste, and have been the means of
distributing large sums of money in the SUI
rounding country. The citizens Of that neigh
borhood should feel grateful to them for the
energy and industry displayed, and also en-
couraging them to cultivate what otherwise
would be waste places. In the growing of
tomatoesa alone, we learn, that an acre Of land.
with no more attention than that much corn,
Will often realize from 800 to Sl15, while
beans and peas pay equally as well.
Tho fruit packed by these gentlemen is so
well known in the large cities, that il is with
difficulty they can fill the orders New York,
Baltimore and Cincinnati, receive the greater
portion Of it, but it can be found in almost
every grocery store. Its reputation increases
every year, and we hope they may soon have
to inlarge their works to double the size they
are now.

INsL RANCE.

During the asst few months, on several occasions
we nave been informed that it and is the practice
OF certain agents of prominent National Boards COM
panies In this city and elsewhere, Extending in fact
from East to West and from North to South) to in
dulge in wholesale sweeping denunciation Of the
solvency OF non-board companies without discrmin-
atlon OF exception. This is contemptible method
OF conducting any business, and especially the fire
insurance business. 1t is the yest way of obtaining
patronage and we pity the company which has for
us agent any person so despicably mean as to run
down his rivals in one general strain of defamation
Ihs Journal has been an advocate and supporter of
local anu National Rnard1 frA day OF its first
issnn, though we have freely criticised blunders and
mistake in their management, and shall continue to
do 80. Werecognize the fact that among the COM.
panies outside the National and local boards are
some which are as conservative, as prudent. as re-
liable, as promp and as safe in their dealings with
the public any ofthose inside these organizations
We nigh name several which possess equal experien-
and talent with any of their loyal neighbors and
some also with large and well invested assets which
have been as carefully and prudently managed as any
Of those in tie boards. In any test which may be
applied, excepting the single one of upholdng board
rates, they the peers Of the best and cannet be
sneered down, lied down DETAINED to death. 1t is
We would in no manner be understood as claiming
hese merits for all board companies, even as we
would not claim all the virtues stability and sound
par excellence for all board companies In fact
there are some board companies which offer weak
points for attack quite devoid of superior merits
as their nonboard rivals We hold up to public gaze
the bad and Indifferent, whether of the board or
board species with equal satisfaction and shall not
spare the rod in Furnishing both alike if they are
guilty Of peccadllos their business transactions 1t
is not province to defend any company because it
is IN the board, any more than to assal another
pany which is out of the board We do hold it, how
ever, to be exceedingly impudent and malicious to
denounce all non-board companies in the breath,
because it happens that some steal away risks below
the tariff rates. Two wrongs never made right yet,
and foul and noisy agents who talk about their
neigbbors will do to remsmber it.-Westerm hssur-

The County Commissioners will ad-
journ to-day at noon. Most Of the
session has been occupied by the work
Of equaliziug assessments. Under in
struotions from the State Auditor, the
Board have been cndeavorins to bring
the assessment in the several towns
and wards of the county up to the
figure representing the real cash valua'
ton, as tho law requires. To do this,
the estimates Of the assessors must be
doubled, at least, ard in some cases,
perhaps, more. The State Auditor
promises that all counties which neg
lect to make the equalization upon the
basis of q cash value, shall be raised
to that figure by the State Board.
This is a radical, but not an unhealthy
change, and, ;f made universally, will
be productive Of degree of equality
