The potato bugs have literally covered
Frederick and Washington counties. Two
merchants of Baltimore, who paid me visit,
informed me that the bugs are seen on the
streets in the city, which Clearly proves the
fact that they are carried with seed and other
potatoes.
The new management Of the Frederick and
Pennsylvania Line Railroad is such that il
affords no more accommodation to persons
travelling over il and the Western Maryland
than II il were not built. The man who pro.
fesses to have the management in charge
Is either a perfect ignoramas in railroading,
or is determined that there shall be no CON
nection between the roads. The former man.
agement issued ''clergymen's tickets To all
ministers Of the Gospel, which entitled the m
TO half fare, but their checks are all called in
and the minister is obliged TO pay full fare or
go back TO his own conveyance, which think
all will do, as am informed by way agent
that his ticket reeeiptu used to be about $40 per
month, but under the new management it
would not reach $40. which is conclusive ey-
idence that the people viii not be imposed
upon by an arbitrary railroad company.
Mr. Gilbert, one Of the SIX men blown up
while drilling out q blast that had failed TO go
of, on the Woodsboro and Creagersiown
road, where the county is cutting down an
abrupt hill, died Of lockjaw. Itappears that
physicians can do nothing to prevent this
dreadful disease. less than month ago
friend Of mine at Greencastle, Pa, died Of
lockjaw, the effect Of a cut in the hand with
his grating kuiie. Ii is said that the doctors
were dumb founded, and did nothing at all
for him. II these gentlemen Of science don't
know anything better, why don't they smoke
the wound well with burning wollen rags, or
saturate !, well with tnrpentine, and battle
the feet in I've. All these, it is claimed, will
prevent lockjaw. Anyone being so hurt had,
think, better resort 10 these remedies, and
leave the gentlemen Of the pills at home,
and so give them no chance to turn the inside
of your pocket.boo out.
The HoLYOKE DISASTER. Westminster has
seven churches, the doors of which, we be-
lieye, open on the inside, with no other mode
of egress in case Of ere. The Odd Fellows
Hall is in the same condition. The hall is
frequently crowded to snffocation, and on
several occasions we have thought of the ter,
rible loss of life and limb in case FIRE should
occur in the building. The Episcopal, Cath.
Ole and Baptist Churches are better situated
than the others, for the reason that the audi
enca room Of each is but u short distance from
the ground, while the others are in the sec.
ond story Would il not be well for those
interested to look into this matter, and pre-.
pare a way in which the churches and hall
can be relieved Of their audiences in case Of
a panic. la the great alarm incident on such
occasions the crowd rush for the doors, for.
getting for the time that they open on the
inside, those who have presence of mind
to see the danger from crowding the outlet,
are not listened to in their endeavors to force
them back, and as a consequence the loss Of
hfe is much greater. Steps are being taken
IN all the large cities TO remedy this evil.
Shall we wait for a holocaust before we make
any alteration in our public buildings?
BuRoGARY. --0n Sunday last the dwelling
Of Levi ]. Martin, at Hampstead, Carroll co.
a short distance from Reisterst0wn, was bur.
gariously entered and robbed of four valuable
silver watches. The family we're absent at
church at the time, and upon returning dis
covered the robbery. Inquiry during the day
revealed the fact that young man, named
Charles Dalrymple, had disappeared from the
village. Mr.. Martin snspecting that he had
eft for Baltimore at once came on TO this city,
md the case was placed in the hands Of Lieut.
Cadwallader. Yesterday the arrest Of Dali
-ymple was effected, and Lieutenant Cadwal.
ader recovered from second. hand dealer,

Monday night on pleasure trip, and return

est wheat he has seen this season was in

an abundant yield. Kent IL, beyond qnes-
on, one Of the finest counties in the State.
