DEATH OF LIEUTENANT RAGspALE.-
Lieutenant J. X. p. Ragsdale, of the U S.
Navy, died at the residence of Miss Jessie
Fraser, in Bel Air, on Wednesday, May goth,
in his Both year. His disease was dropsy,
from which lie had been suffering for long
time.
The story of Lieutenant Ragsdalcs admis-
sion into the navy is romantic one. He
was born in Mississippi, and when youth
entered printing office conducted by his
brother at Waco, Texas After learning to
set type, in the year 1861, he conceived the
idea of entering the U. S Navy. Being with
out influential friends, he determined to make
application in person to the Hon John II.
Reagan, then member of Congress from
Texas, but afterwards Postmaster General of
the Southern Confederacy. Not having the
means to pay the expenses ola journey to
Washington he set out on foot, working his
way from one printing Office to another, UNI
Til, after toilsome trip of two months, he
reached his destination. The boys story CHI
listed the sympathy of Mr.. Reagan, through
whose influence he obtained the appointment
he sought.
Remaining at the Naval Academy during
the war, at its close he graduated with hon.
or While at the Academy he formed the
acquaintance and friendship of the late Lieu
tenant Fred. Mccormick, a son of James M.

A USEFUL ARTICLE.-Decidcdly one of
the simplest and best re(rigerators we have
ever seen is one invented and manufactured
by Richard Amger, of No. 1876 North Gay
street, Baltimore. 1t is a very neat piece of
furniture, and has combined with it a water
cooler-a very small quantity Of ice being
sufficient to preserve articles sweet and fur
nish supply of ice water for the family du-
ring the entire day. They are made of diff
ferent sizes, nnl one for use in small family
is sold at the low price of SIC. Being made
inside of galvanize iron, they are easily
clcanscd, ani do not become tainted like
those finished inside with wood. Call and

THE GRAM JURY for the May term of
Court were discharged on Saturday, having
been in session only six days. They found
six bills of Indictment, which were for the
following offences 3 for larceny, for as
sault AM battery, and one for selling goods
without license.
Ga Saturday, in compliance with law, they
visited the Jail, and their conclusions in re-
gard to that delcctahlc institution differ in
no wise from those of former grand juries
They omitted the customary visit to the aims
house, with its accompanying good dinner
on the ground that n the lazy dcls not re
qiirc it, the custom wOull be more honored
in the breach than in the observance The
regular visits Of the grand jury to the aims
house involve cost to the county of at least
two hundred dollars year, including the per
diem of the members. Besides, the county
commissioners have entire charge ofthc prop
crty, and visit it Mt intervals themselves.
This grand jury therefore, thought proper to
depart from The custom, and cntrust the mat
ter to the proper authorities.

BUILDING MATERIALS USED.
In recent visits to the cities Of St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Saltwater, ETC..
we have seen many structures in process

material used, as stone, brick, lime and
wood. We find rock from Sauk Rapids,
near Duluth and from Kasota. Lime
from Alton and Rock Island, and the
hard woods and black walnut from down
the river.
THE DEMAND.
Any one who has built small dwell
