THE KELLY MoToR.-Thc alleged Won
derful discovery of q motive power that will
superccde the use of steam, has created n
stir in the scientific and mechanical world.
The new motor, the invention of Mr..
Keely, is said to consist Of 'cold vapor,"
which the inventor claims may be obtained
from small quantities of water, without the
employment of heat, chemical appliances, or
the consumption of any subject except air
and water. Whether Mr.. Keely will be able
to accomplish all he claims for his invention
or not remains to be seen. 1t may, at least
have the effect of opening up a new field OF
investigation resulting in substantial good
to the world. Public opinion seems to be
divided in regard to the feasibility of Mr..
Keely's plan, but the nineteenth century has
seen the unfolding of so much that is won
derful, through the Ingenuity of man, that in
the absence of any certain knowledge it
would seem fair to the inventor and the part
of wisdom, to refrain from hasty judgment
in the matter, and also to withhold invest
ments in any joint stock company founded
upon the alleged wonderful discovery.

all who take pleasure in the concourse Of

BALTIMORE COUNTY AFFAIRs.-A little color.
ed boy, ten years Of age, living near Reisters-
town, on the pike, was burned to death, recent
ly by attempting to kindle fire with coal oil,
which exploded and flew all over him.
"A York horse, owned by l.. H. Greenwalt,
and a Baltimore county horse owned by VIM
Cook, trotted race at Herring Run on Friday
of last week, for purse of $500. The former
won the first and third heat and race, time 3:O7.
1t will be recollected that some time ago
an old citizen named Samuel Price, who resided
near Dover, 4th district, while returning from
Rcisterstown to his home, was thrown from his
horse and killed almost instantly. The news of
his sudden death so affected the mind of his
wife, that in short time afterwards she became
insane and whilst in that condition attempted
to take her own life by cutting her throat Med
cal aid was Immediately called to her relief, the
wound was sewed up and she was in fair way
to recover, butwhen the vigilance of her atten-
dants was relaxed for few moments she again
opened the wound, which caused her death a
few days ago.

WRoNG.-Wc have been informed that an
anonymous postal card, rejecting upon the
integrity Of one of the school commissioners,
who is candidate for the Legislature, has
been extensively circulated. Without enter
ing into the truth of the matter at ALL we
must, nevertheless, express our disapproval
Of such secret attacks upon any man. The
columns of the public press are open, and it
is certainly more manly and generous TO
make use of them, and thus give the party
attacked an opportunity TO defend himself
AS for the gentleman in question we have
the utmost confidence that he can if he has
the opportunity, defend himself successfully
from any charge touching his honor and in.
tegrity in public as well Us private life.

THE LAPIDUM FERRY.-The Port Deposit
correspondent Of the Cecil Democrat writes
as follows in relation to the steam ferry boat
VIM. G. Mccall, which plies between Lapi.
dunn and Port Deposit
Our worthy County Commissioners appro-
priated $500 for the purpose of keeping up
our steam ferry boat, providing Hartford
county would appropriate the same amount
1t is to be hoped that Hartford county will
follow the example of Cecil. The ferry boat
has not been paying, therefore will have to
stop unless those appropriations are made,
venience and the great necessity of the ferry
to both Cecil and Hartford until it is stopped.
1t is to be hoped that Hartford will come and
take Cecil by the right hand of fellowship
and help to keep up this great necessity and
convenience to the public generally.

Of which was sown in this section, has uni

Deer Creek Farmers, Club.

The Club met on Saturday, at the house OF
Mr.. L. NJ: Allen. Ths members present were
Messrs. Moores, Hays, Baylcss, w. ID. Lee, JAS
Lee, Silver, Allen, Ridout, Munnikhuysen, Loeb.
members; and Messrs. d. E. Wilson, 8. M. Lee,
A. Wilson and others, honorary members.
The members took stroll around the farm,
and noticed the peculiar way in which fine
field OF corn had been planted, the rows running
around the hill In the shape of an oxbow, there.
by preventing washing to some extent. A field
OF about ten acres of very fine hungarian grass
also attracted attention.
The subject for discussion was "What is the
best breed OF cattle for general purposes ?"
Mr. Allen opened the discussion by saying
that he preferred Durhams, for their rapid
growth, at an carly age, and thought they were
good mixers.
Messrs. James Lee Ridout and Bayless pre-.
ferred Durhams for all purposes.
MIR. Silver favored them also, except for milk
ing. For that he liked to cross them with the
Alderney.
Mr.. s. NJ. Lee said that no one kind of stock
will do universally; that Durhams will not do
on poor land, otherwise they did well.
MIR. Willis wanted to know if Durhams and
Short Horns were not the same breed. 1t was
generally thought so. He preferred Short
Horns for general purposes Jerseys for milk
and beet, and Ayrshires for cheese making, on
account of the large quantity ofmilk they give
Mr.. Gorrell agreed with Mr.. s. N. Lee. lie
thought Short Horns and DurhamS would not
do well on poor land. He stated that in the
course ofa week there would be at his place a
car load fpure breed Short Horn heifers, which
would be sold at moderate figures.
Messrs Wilson and LochaIy preferred Dur.
hams.
Mr.. Munnikhuysen has had no experience with
any particular kinds.
Mr. Glasgow has had more experience with
Devons, and likes them. Says they fattcn carly
and easy. For stock purposes he prefers Dur
hams; but for milk he prefers the Devon cross.
ed with the Aldcrncy,
Mr.. Noores does not favor raising calves; but
ifhe did, would raise Alderncy, for they always
command high price.
Mr.. Hays thought the question one-sided ;
that the club ought to discuss the merits of the
different kinds. Heha Durhams, Devons, Short
Horns and Attorneys, pure and half bred lie
likes the Durhams for oxen and stock purposes
and Attorneys crossed with the same for milk
and butter. This he stated was his experience
The cattle question having been concluded,
Mr.. Willis asked the opinions of the members in
relation to the best breeds of sheep to keep.
Messrs. Gorrell, Silver and few Others thought
they could realize the greatest profit out of the
ordinary open wool sheep, If disposed of often.
Thought the Cotswo and Southdown cost too
much, and could not handle to as great advan.
tage.
MIR. Allen said if he raised any he would pre-
fer Southdown. Aflermuch discussion the club
adjourned to meet at Mr.. f. A. Ridout's, on
Saturday, August 14th, 1875, at 8 o'clock p NJ.
Subject-"Will cattle do better in hot weather
with or without shade. Ifso what kind would
be the most economical?'
