DEATH OF Rev. Mr.. HAsLUP.-Rev. Rein G.
Haslup, pastor in charge Of East Baltimore
Station, M. E. Church, died at one o'clock on
Tuesday last. Mr.. Haslup several months since
took passage in the bark Adelaide, and made a
voyage to Rio de Janeiro. During the outward
passage his health was much improved, but
whilst in Rio, after taking bath in mountain
stream he was seized with heavy cold, which
eliminated in pneumonia. The bark sailed on
her return, and for fifteen days after leaving
Rie, she met continual rain storms, which ag
gravated Mr.. Haslup's disease, and when the
vessel reached Baltimore on Wednesday night,
May 9th, he was much Frustrated, and was
carried to his home in dying condition. Mr..
Haslup had been fourteen years in the Metho-
dist ministry, having entered the Conference in
1859. He was man of ability, and gave prom
Use of great usefulness. His death has caused
feeling of profound regret amongst all classes
in East Baltimore, and especially among the
people of his charge. He expressed his perfect
resignation and readiness to die, and passed
quietly away.
Mr.. Haslup was at one time stationed at Tow
sontown and afterwards at Govanstown. He
was we'll known throughout the county and
was universally beloved and respected. His
remains were inferred at Mount Olivet Gene
terry on Thursday.

ACCIDENT TO CHILD.-On Wednesday after
noon of last week serious accident happened to
little son of Mr.. Schubert proprietor of pro-
vision store at Waverly. Mrs. Schubert left the
child, who is fourteen months old, asleep in the
second story in charge of her daughter, aged nine
years. About 2 o'clock, the father, whose store
adjoins the dwelling, heard piercing screams from
his daughter and, running into the house, found
the children lying at the foot of the stairway ON
the first floor, the youngest being insensible. 1t
appears that when the boy awoke, bis sister un-
dertook TO carry him down stairs, but made a
misstep and the two fell headlong to the bottom,
the younger child IS head striking with great force
against the jam of door, inhicting terrible ia
juries. Two physicians were at once summoned
and every thing done that was possible for the
comfort Of the little sufferer, whose injuries were
of very severe nature

0FBRADLEY'S PATENT
10y ENAMEL PAINT.
It's butltt more than quarter ola century
since the art of mixing paint was confined al
most exclusively to few, comparatively speak
ing. Now, however, through the ingenuity of
Bradley, we are not only enabled to apply the
paint if we desire, but can see the shades in ad-
vance. Sample Cards being furnished gratis,
with the different shades or tints numbered
Not having used the Enamel Paint we can't,
of course, speak from experience, but we have
not doubt it is all that is claimed for it, and
must evidently supercede the old style paint
AS an evidence of the great worth ofthe Enam-
ell Paint we most respectfully request all of our
readers to carefully read the excellent testi
monals of Mr.. c. P. Kugnt on fourth page of
our paper.

Mr.. SCOTS little son Edward, approached him
when the horse, in playful manner, reared
and plunged about and in doing SO struck the
little fellow with one of his front feet, cutting

large still was blown out, and the contents igni-
ting and flowing down the side of al hill. on which
the works are situated, sent up dense mass of
smoke There being no water at hand and no
facilities for extinguishing the fire. the oil was al.

NONRESIDENT CHILDREN IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF BALTMoRE.-The Gazette of Thursday says :
''The Committee on Education through Mr.. Conn
submitted q report and ordinance to the First
Branch of the City Council last evening allowing
the children of non-residents of the city to at
tend the public SCHOOLS under certain conditions
The report, which comprehends the entire sub
jest recites that the schools were established
for the benefit of the citizens of Baltimore and
are supported by its taxpayers under the existing
law. The School Board is also authorized to
admit pupils free and furnish books for them
where their parents are in INDECENT circumstances.
To allow this free admission TO children of per-
sons living beyond the city limits, who do not
contribute to the support Of the schools, would
be unjust to the taxpayers of the city, and the
committee, therefore, consulted with the Super
intendent of Public Instruction and decided upon
the following schedule of rates under which they
propose to admit the children of non-residents to
the benefits Of the public schools of the city -
For admission to the City College $l2.3 per
quarter, to Female High Schools So per quarter.
Grammar Schools 81 and Primary Schools So per
quarter. The ordinance authorizing the School
Board to admit nonresident children at the fore
going rates was read second time and passed
without debate. The report states that the num-
Der of children beyond the city limits in attend
snce upon the various public schools OF the city
is about three thousand"

1ITH DISTRICT 1TEMs--A correspondent writes !:
"During the storm of Monday, 25th ult, whilst
Mr.. Richard Vincent, of this district, and two
of his men were in the green house an apple
tree some thirty feet from them was struck by
lightning. All three were brought to their
knees by the shock, but were affected only
from the knees downward. Mr.. Vincent says
the feeling in his legs the balance of the day
was most unpleasant, and could not be de-
scrbed.
"The Farmers Association of the lower Gun
powder met on Saturday last, attendance very
slim. The farmers here do not seem to ap-
preciate the advantage of union. Each one
appears to think the half day more proftably
employed at home, than in meeting together
for mutual instruction and for consultation.
Our next meeting will be held at the house of
VIM. Gambrill, near the 11-mile stone, Phila-
delphia road, on Saturday, 9th inst, at p. m.
This will bring the place of Injecting much near
er to those of the 18th District, who wish to
attend
"The crops need rain. 1t appears strange
that the ground should become very dry so
soon after the great amount of rain that fell
this spring-but the cold and drying winds
rapidly take up the moisture leaving the sur
face dry and hard. Corn is deing fair, but
much of it will be late planted"
