Orphans Court, some OF the Petit Jury, re.
representatives. Of the county papers, and a few
others visited the Aims House. A thorough
inspection Of the buildings, condition of the
inmates, the farm, stock, barn and other
outbuildings was made. Mr. and Mrs. John
Tracey were highly complimented for tho
clearly condition Of the buildings occupied
by the county poor; the farm is ia excellent
condition, the horses and cattle fat and sleek,
and showed that they were well taken care
of the pen Of iattening hogs were the envy
Of the farmers, who admired them very much;
the cabbage, potatoes, turnips, &c. were well
stored, and everything indicated, that Mr..
Tracey had provided in no stinted manner for
his guests this winter. There were several
gentlemen present who had never visited the
Aims House property before, and il was the
general opinion that few private farms in the
county excelled it. The guests about noon
sat down to sumptuous dinner, which was
heartily enjoyed by all. We were informed
by Mr.. John W, Murray, one Of the County
Commissioners, that the Aims House farm *
nearly self-sustaining this year, and they hope
TO makeit entirely so next year. Mr.. Tracey

MELHosg IYyns.-The few showers Of rain

who have been in want Of water.
On Saturday morning the woods on Dug
Hill we're set on FIRE. II was discovered soon
after and the alarm was given through tbs
vicinity, and in a short time a large crowd Of
people were together who soon had the fire
under CONTROL but it was not entirely extin.
guished until Sunday afternoon. The damage
was small, only few acres was burned over
and several hundred rails DESTROYED. A sus.
picious looking fellow had visited some of the
farmers the same morning, who then went 70
the place where the fire originated, and il il
supposed he did the act.
Everybody is anxious about the trial of
Napoleon Herbst VS.. Dice to hear the result,
which has as yet not been learned.
Z .fixcRR B0ARDs.--It has often been sup.
gested that finger boards, or guide boards for
the benefit Of travellers at road crossings and
forks" should be erected by our county au.
thorities- In many counties Of pennsylyania
the roads arc all marked out by guide boards,
50 that the traveller never loses his way nor
Is detained by the necessity of stopping To
inquire the direction Of the road. An i'm.
mense amount Of perplexity aud loss Of time
Is thus saved to travellers upon the public
highways. ln Carroll county there is nothing
OF the sort. In some States the name Of the
person owning the farm il placed on the road
gate leading to the house.
