On the night of the 18th of Sept during
the progress of Democratic meeting q
Smiths tavern, Jarrettsville turnpike, tive
horses got out of the stable and strayed away
or were ridden off. One of them was owned
by Mr.. Thos j. Miller, of the 7th district, and
the other belonged to Mr.. T. Lindsay, of this
place, but had been hired by Mr.. Charles e
Fendall On the following Wednesday Mr.
Lindsay's horse was returned to him, but VIZ

"A colored camp-meeting has been in pro.
gress for over two weeks at Middle River Sta
ton, Phila., Wilmington & BALTIC. r. R., and is
to be continued. 1t has been largely attended
by both whites and blacks, and the meetings
have been of most interesting character
The ministers are from New Jersey and Penn
sylvania and are travelling through the coun-
try as missionaries, holding meetings wherev-
| er the people may wish. They carry their
| tents and camp equipments with them. The
last meeting, before coming to Baltimore coun-
| ty, was held at Long Branch, N. j..
| MIR. George H. Williams, who is a son-in-
law of Mr. John S. Cuttings, the owner of the
Hartford turnpike, has been nominated for the
Legislature by the Democrats. People who,
| for a number of years past, have been making
a fight against the Hartford road, on account of
its wretched condition, and threatening to ap-
! riy to tho Ieqislatnre for a reraal of its char
| ter can, if Mr.. Williams is elected set their
minds at rest on the subject, as he will be sure
| to take care of that we'll paying and badly
kept thoroughfare. Those who have been suf-
fering must now be content to suffer on.
| George Chambers, one ofthe county police,
| a resident of the Sd district, was a candidate
| for the Executive Committee at the primary
election on Friday of last week. In the first
| precinct he received 81 votes and in the Sc
cond, to the credit of the people be it said, he
did not get vote. If Mr.. Chambers thinks
| being member of the Committee pays better
| than being policeman, he should have resign
| ed the latter and allowed some other man,
| who did not desire political distinction (?) to
fill his place. Police officers should not be per-
mitted to meddle in politics in this way.
There is a certain young man in this town
who took very active interest for one of the
candidates for Sheriff, and in order to help the
cause of his favorite, sent keg of beer and a
box ofcigars to some Germans in another district,
where he had been promised great many votes,
in order to make their support more certain. The
beer was disposed of and the cigars vanished
into smoke and on Saturday last the candi-
date, in that district, received exactly sac Uotes
Now the young man IN question asks this CO.
box of cigars to secure six votes, how many
lager beer breweries and how many cigar man
ufactories would it require to elect man Sher-
iff of Baltimore county"
People who ride in railway cars should
obey the rules laid down by the companies,
and net make the employees liable to dismis
sal by violating them. We know a case in
point where man took a seat on one of the
gates on the front platform of Towsontown
car. He was politely informed that to do SO
was in violation of the rules of the Company,
and still he persisted in sitting upon the gate,
Notwithstanding the fact that his conduct
would most likely result in the dismissal of
both driver and conductor, for allowing peo-
pie to violate the rules. The Company makes
the rules and the employees are obliged to
carry them out If they cannot do so their
places are given to men who can. Remember
this.
Five "rounders" from the city came cut
here on Saturday afternoon last to vote at the
Democratic primary meeting. On being asked
what their business was they said they had
voted at Hampden and at Cold Spring and
had been furnished with ''good names from
the registry list on which to vote at Towson-
town, and had come up for that purpose. They |
also told in whose interest they were Gre |
peating." Upon being informed that it might |
not be healthy for them to attempt anything |
of the kind here, they jumped into their wagon
In r. T n
roughs are to come out here and decide our |
elections for us we might as we'll invite the |
city to extend her limits at once. We never |
expect to see another fair election in the dis |
tricts surrounding the city.
AT the Democratic primary elections, held |
on Friday ana saturday last, SneTo WAC a &c |
for one County Commissioner (Messrs. Rider |
and Hunter having received a majority of the |
vetes,) between Mr.. Carmichael of the Sd dis !
trict, and Dr. W. T. Allender, of the 1lth dist,
each gentleman having received 1,552 votes.
The tie was not discovered until the execu-
tive committee, on Tuesday, had nearly finish
ed canvassing the vote, and after ma
iorty of the members had left for their homes.
This being the case it was necessary to post
pone any action until the Committee can be
gotten together, which will be on Tuesday
next, when the tie will be decided by vote of
that body. Dr.. Allender received majority
of the votes in nine districts, leaving four
which gave majerities for Mr.. Carmichael.

Great complaints reach us from the 18th
district, of the criminal negligence of the men
employed by Baltimore to haul the night soil
and garbage from the city to the dumping
grounds on the Philadelphia road. Their teams
frequently stall on the turnpike and for the
purpose of tightening the loads the filth is al
lowed to run from the carts into the road, and
when the drivers are demonstrated with for
their conduct, they reply in the most obscene
and uncouth manner. The people would like
to know if this nuisance must be allowed to go
on, or whether the authorities will put an end
to it. We understand that Wilson Townsend,
ESQ.,, together with other citizens of the 18th
district, have offered to give the city authori-
| ties ten or more acres Of land near the Thir-
teen Mile Switch, for purposes Of a dumping
| ground, and that the P. W. & B. R. R. Co. has
offered to deliver the soil and garbage in cars,
made expressly for the purpose, at the rate of
sixty cents per ton, and yet the old dumping
grounds continue to be used, Notwithstanding
the city's lease of them has expired. There is
a big "ring" in this business as well as in near
ly everything else connected with the city
| government.
| WESTERN MARYLAND RAILROAD DEPoT.-The
work of preparing the ground for the new de-
