FIRE-HEAvY Loss.-On Saturday nigh last,
as the family of Mr.. William W. Matthews, re
siding near Oregon, in the Sth district, were
about retiring, it was discovered that the entire
upper story of the dwelling was in flames, and
the house being frame, was soon reduced to
ashes. All the household furniture, &C., was
also consumed, the silver belonging to the FAM
lily only being saved. The fire originated from
the explosion of coal oil lamp which was left
burning in one of the upper rooms. On the
house there was an insurance Of $3.50 in the
Baltimore County Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany, and $500 on furniture, &C., in the Har-
ford Mutual. These amounts cover but a small
portion of the loss.
friend furnishes US with the following in
terestng particulars The house was built by
the great-grandfather of Mr.. Matthews, in 1855,
and he resided in tup to the time of his death,
which occurred in 1924, he being then in the
103d year of his age. The house was in per-
feet state of preservation, and with proper care
it might have lasted for centuries to come. In
this old homestead were number of manu-
scripts of great interest, as we'll as books, some
of which were two hundred or more years old.
Amongst the latter was the family Bible of Mr..
Matthews grandfather's grandfather.

NBRADLEY'S PATENT
NY ENAMEL PAINT.
Iii but little more than aquarter of a century
since the art of mixing paint was confined al
most exclusively to few, conn aratively speak

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 tnts 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-

PERsoNAL.-In the Atlanta Georgia. Consti-
tuition of 18th inst, we find the following refer
Mahool Of Baltimore, Md. who has been pros
pecting in the South for several weeks. He is
impressed by his visit South with the conviction
that the Southern States offer superior facilities
and inducements for manufacturing cotton goods
on account of climate, nearness to market of both
raw material and manufactured goods, and abun.
dance of labor. Atlanta has, in his opinion,
every facility for manufacturing. There is an
abundance of labor that could be utilized, now
non-productive, of females and children. The
products of mill of two hundred looms could
be disposed of with ease and profit
"Col Mahool is a practical machinist and man
ufacturer of twenty-five years experience, and
bis views are certainly entitled to great weight"

GREEN SPRING Alphabetically last was
the day appointed by the County Commission
ers to hear the objections of those who took ex-
ception to the assessments made for the extern
sion of Green Spring avenue from Rogers ave
nue. to the Dover road. A number of those in
terested were present. A majority of those as
sessed were opposed to making the road on the
proposed plan and the ommissioners deemed
it unnecessary to go farther in the matter, and
and accordingly abandoned all proceedings
Among those whose objections were filed with
the Commissioners were the Green Spring Ave
nue. Company, represented by Col. Mcintosh,
W. W. Frush, Mr.. Wollston, Mrs. Coates, A. G.
Schaeffer, Johnsey Hook, A. S. Abel, Thomas
Moore, C. Taggart, A. H. Stump, Sam'l Shoe
maker, c. Rogers and others. The parties who
filed objections, it is understood, were general
ly in favor of making the road, but deemed the
assessment as unequal in proportion to the ben
eft to others who were moderately, or not at
all assessed.

RooFING PAINT.-We would call the attention
of our readers to the card of Messrs. Henry
Froehling & Co.. No. Post Office Avenue, Bal
timore, to be found in another column of our
paper.
Inventors have long been engaged in the en-
deavor to obtain some paint for roofs and walls
which could be furnished cheaply and at the
same time answer the double purpose Of being
absolutely fire and water proof. This desira-
BILE result has at last been obtained in the arti
Gle known as Glines' Patent Slate Roofing
Paint, which having been tested in the most
thorough manner, is found to be practically
fre-proof and totally impervous to water. 1t
is the best article known for protecting walls
and gableends of houses against dampness, and
a wall covered with this paint has not the
funeral like appearance, seen so often in build
ings coated with other material but is of a
pleasing brick color.
1t is easily applied to either Shingles, Iron,
Tin or Felt Roofs, and its value is shown by the
fact that Insurance companies are making the
same tariff for roofs covered with this material
as they do for slated roofs. This paint is ex-
tremely cheap, costing only % cents per square
foot applied, and even much less for those who
buy the paint $50 cts. per gallon) and apply it
themselves.

ST. TIMoTHY's CHURCH. CAToNsvILLE.-The Ga
zette of Monday last says: Among the most
fourishing parishes of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in Maryland is that of st. Timothy's,
Baltimore county. The church ediice and par
sonage situated at the thriving town of Ca
louisville, eight miles from this city, and the parish
is large and wealthy. st. Timothy's was found
ed many years since through the lberaity of the
late Judge John Glenn, long known as Judge Of
the United States District Court in Maryland, and
leading lawyer. His remains repose in the CEN
tire of circle in front of the church, and hand
some monument marks his last resting place
The church building is decided ornament to its
neighborhood, and being built of stone has a SUBJ
stantial and appropriate look Its architectural
beauties are noticeable, and clinging ivy, stained
glass windows, and sheltering trees, give it an
air of solemnity and repose. The interior of the
church presents view in keeping with the ex-
terror, and is spacious, we'll lighted, and becom-
ingly ornamented. Three tablets, of tasteful de-
signs, and bearing the names of Judge Glenn
("the founder and benefactor' of the church J
Rev. John Ellison Van Bokkelen a deceased rec
tor and John Rickett, of ST. Timothys College,
are to be observed, and the general arrangements
Of the chancel, pews, desks, ETC., suitable and
BETTING. An organ of sufficient size is among
the important adjuncts The congregation of
st. Timothy's is much larger in the spring, sum-
mer and fall than in the winter owing to the fact
that many of the wealthy members reside in Bal
timore during the winter months. The present
rector, Rev G. R. Hams, native of Charleston,
S. c., was called from parish in Hagerstown
upon the retirement of Rev DR.. Van Bokkelen,
and entered upon the discharge of his labors in
January, 1871. Under his charge the congrega-
ton has largely increased, and heavy debt has
been paid off,

New AssocIAuoN.-On Wednesday, March
4th, meeting of all the merchants doing bus
mess in this place was called for the purpose
of forming union for mutual protection
Nearly every branch of business carried on in
the place was represented. The meeting was
duly organized, and the object being fully
stated, the members in attendance chose Chas.
Peregoy as President, Jas. H. Smith, vice Pres
ident, and Chas. T. Belt, Secretary of the asso-
citation. They adopted the name of ''The Mer-
chants Protective Union of Woodberry," as the
distinctive title of the society. The new at
tachment law appears to have been the prime
cause which has led to this organization, which
is designed for the good of their customers as
well as their own Woodberry Gasette, 14th in
slant.

A DGNIAL.-A correspondent of the Balti-
more BWlletin has, it appears, been writing in
a dsparaging manner of the village of Ran
dallstown, I'd district. The following choice
morsel appeared in the same paper of 18th in
slant, written, no doubt, in a spirit of anger :
RANDALLsTowN, March 10, 1874.
Mr.. Editor of the Baltimore Bulletin:
hear that a writer in your paper should say
that this is poor place, and has no accommo-
dations for gentlemen. l beg to say that am
proprietor of the Farmers and Drovers' Inn
here, and have four spare bedrooms and six
beds, with cover and sheets all complete.
think know that Crinkle that made the libel
Gus charge against this inofensive town. I
think he is the same young man that was up
this way last spring, a-sellng soap and prize
packages, and Constable Crooks, of this dees-
trick, took him up and had him fined for ped
ding without license.
To show you how false this writer is, there
amt no Spencer, a playwright, nor wheel
wright, nor blacksmith neither, in the whole
deestrick. The only person of that name about
here is little fellow who has a farm about a
mile away, but don't farm it much, nor do
nothing else hardly, only read the papers all
day long. People do say he writes verses for
the papers sometimes, but don't think that.
He amt capable. F. KRAFT,
Proprietor Farmers and Drovers' Inn.

GREAsINe BUGGIEs AND Notwithstanding
buggies and wagons is of more imp ortance than
some imagine. Many wheel is ruined by
oiling too plentifully. A well made wheel VIII
endure constant wear from ten to twenty years,
if care is taken to use the right kind and pro-
per amount of oil but if this matter is not at
tended to, the wheel will be used up in five or
six years, or it may be sooner. Lard should
never be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate
the hub, and work its way around the tendons
of the spokes and spoil the wheel. Castor oil
is good material for use on an iron axle just
oil enough should be applied to spindle to
give it light coating; this is better than more,
for the surplus put on will work out at the ends,
and be forced by the shoulders and nut, into
the hub around the outside of the boxes. To
oil the axletree, first wipe the spindles clean
with cloth wet with turnpine, if it won't wipe
without it, On buggy or carriage, wipe and
clean off the back and front ends of the hubs,
and then apply a very small quantity of castor
oil, or more especially prepared lubrcator,
near the shoulders point.

At this meeting DR.. NJ. Merryman, of Jockeys
ville member of the Baltimore county Farmers
Union, addressed the assembly as follows:
Gentlemen Il must beg you will indulge me
in few suggestions pertinent to the duty and
obligation ourselves members Of this
honorable body. We cannot afford to forget or
neglect promise made or an obligation, how'
ever lightly assumed, without casting discredit
more or less upon the fair name and fame OF our
organization. To attain success in the object we
have laid before US demands the unhesitating
sacrifice of self. This youthful organization, if
we be but true to ourselves, contains even in its
young life the seed OF greatness and goodness of
virtue and nobleness, of happiness and prosperi-
ty not to yourselves alone but to those who come
after you and whose lives are more near to you
than your own. IT'S told of the old Persian that
he taught his toys to throw the javlin and to
speak the truth Bring with you into the organ
ization your boys that they may learn from you
to hurl the javln against vice and corruption,
against oppression and wrong, against ignorance
and debauchery and all meanness and degrade
ton and learn from you too that bravest and
noblest of lessons, to speak and act the truth.
