larger boys the assault would probably have
proved of very serious nature. Miss Davis, be.

GROWTH OF SUBURBAN VILLAGEs.-The recent
rapid growth of the villages of Hampden and
Woodberry, in Baltimore county, in population
and importance, has been somewhat remaka-
BILE. They were form erly separate and distinct
villages, ad iacent to each other, but one has
absorbed the other, and they now form but one
village. The inhabitants number about eight
thousand. There are eight churches already
built, and one in course of erection. The
Methodists have five, the Catholics one, the
Baptists one, the United Brethren in Christ one,
and the Episcopalians one. The Presbyterians
are building handsome house of worship at
the corner of Fourth avenue and the Falls
turnpinke, directly opposite Prospect Hill, in
Druid Hill Park. The material used will be
marble from the quarries at Texas. This
church, when com pleted, will be the costliest
and most beautiful belonging to the Presbyte-
rians in Baltimore county. The new Episcopal
church, on Central avenue, will be dedicated
in few weeks. 1t is built of what is known
as Falls road granite. 1t will be under the
pastoral care of Rev. Geo. P Stokes, of the
Church OF the Redeemer, on Charles street
avenue, through whose energy and persever-
ance it was built. Mr.. Stokes will preach
svery Sunday afternoon until the vvusl es.s;ou
becomes sufficiently large to warrant the ap-
pointment of a regular pastor Among the
other noticeable structures in the place are the
public hall and market house. The owner of
the latter intends erecting shortly large Ice
house and smoke house for the accommoda-
ton of the butchers and hucksters who occu-
py stalls in the market Mr.. Isaac Crswther,
Jr., has just completed row of brick dwell
ings on Mount Vernon street, and will COM
mence in few days the erection of another row
of twenty-seven more on Chestnut avenue
Other builders are now making arrangements
to build, and it is estimated that over two hum
dred new houses will be flushed and ready for
occupancy before the close of the present year.
1t is expected that the Baltimore and Hampden
Railroad will be completed about the middle
of June. Persons residing in Hampden can
reach the business portion of Baltimore in al
most as short time as these residing in the ex-
IRENE western or eastern sections of the city.
When the city limits are extended, the inhab-
itants of that section can be supplied with wa
ter from Hampden reservoir at a trifing cost
of mains, as the chief lake which supplies the
city is in the heart of the hamlet.-American

How TO DO Your WHITEwAsHING.-This is the
season when the thrifty housewife plies the
whitewash brush about her premises to their
great improvement. We wantto help them in
this commendable work, and therefore recon-
mend the following method for making good
whitewash for outdoor use: Take clean
water-tight barrel. or other suitable cask, and
put into it half tushel of lime. Stake it by
pouring boiling water over it, and in sufficient
quantity to cover FIVE inches deep, stirring it
briskly until thoroughly slaked. When slak-
ing has been effected, dissolve in water and
add two pounds OF sulphate of zinc, and one of
common salt. These will cause the wash to
harden, ard prevent it from cracking, which
gives an unseemingly appearance to the work.
If desirable, beautiful cream color may be
communicated by adding three pounds of yell
low ochre. The wash may be applied with
common whitewash brush, and will be found
much superior, both in appearance and dura
bility, to common whitewash.

| GUNpowDER AGRICULTURAL CLUB, JR.-Re
/ ported by a member The monthly meeting
of this Club was held at the residence OF Gran.
vile Matthews, on Saturday Of last week, (the
| place of meeting having been changed from
Mr.. Benjamin Brooks on account OF the ILL
| ness of his mother,) and organized by appoint
ing Frank Scott, foreman.
| stroll over the farm was the first thing in
order. We were shown pile OF compost,
made from the scrapings of the henery, rich
earth and plaster, two cart loads OF dirt to one
of scrapings, with a sufficiency of plaster tc
keep down the amonia. This compost is used
on corn, a handful to each hill 1t will make
from two to three barrels more to the acre with
this application.
We next visited the barn, which is conve-
niently arranged for feeding the stock The
horses and cattle were found to be in fine con-
dition. Mr.. Matthews here showed us his plan
Of haltering horse that is in the habit of
breaking loose. He has colt that would get
loose when battered in the ordinary way, and
his mode is to take a rope and put it under its
tail, like cruppsr, then bring it over its back
and run the rope through the ring of the hal
ter and fasten it to the manger.
We were next shown a field containing IA
acres of natural grass. This field has not been
plowed for fourteen years, and has very
heavy sod. Our host stated that it would pas
ture as many more cattle as a clover field of
CIe same SlZe FROM GhlS pasture COWS VIII
produce more milk and butter, and of far su-
perior flavor and quality. We then returned
to the house.
The proceedings of our last meeting, held at
the residence of Mr.. +. Scott, were read and
approved, after which we were invited to sup
per, and the Club sat down to table album
dainty supplied with the substantials and lux
uries of life prepared in excellent style.
After supper the Club proceeded to discuss
the question. (Which is the best manner of
planting and cultivating corn, the best mode
of saving seed corn, and what kind the most
profitable" The Club adjourned at Log o'clock,
to meet at the residence of Chagles Matthews,
on the 22d of May.
Mr. s. M. Price represented the senior Club,
and Charles H. Price was appointed to attend
the next meeting of that Club.

BURNED TO DEATH.-On Monday last child
of colored family named Howard, living at
Shawan, 9Th district, was burned to death.
Early in the morning the parents quilted the
house to attend to their daily work, leav-
ing no one in charge except tive children
the youngest aged about three years. Shortly
afterwards Mr.. S. W. Upton, proprietor of the
hotel near by, heard piercing screams coming
from the house, and at once fastened to learn
having accidentally taken fire from the fire.

its body was burned so badly that it died dur

child, is very aged man. and was formerly &
slave of the late Gen. Ridgely of Hampton

A New ROAD ScRAPER.-Mr. Joe. Jackins,
chairman of the 9th district Board of Road Su-
pervisors, has procured from Philadelphia a
patent road scraper or leveler that surpasses
anything of the kind ever before seen in these
parts. The machine is about eight feet wide
and is operated by two horses and two men,
there being four handles attached to it. The
scraper can be adjusted in such a way so that
all the small stones, rubbish, &c., is carried to
the centre or side of the road, as the operators
may wish. The scraper levels the road beau
tifully, filling up all the deep wagon tracks,
and leaving it as smooth as floor, as trial
of it on one of the Towsontown avenues on
Tuesday fully demonstrated. Mr.. Jackins
claims for this machine that it will do the
work of fifty men, in much more satisfactory
manner than it could possibly be done by
hand. If this be go, and we have no doubt it
is, it certainly will prove great laborsaver
on dirt roads.

BURGLARS AT Work AT THE RELAY HOUSE,
On Wednesday morning the usually quiet viii
layers of Elkridge Landing and Relay Station
were thrown into state of intense excitement
over report to the effect that ON Tuesday
night the office of DR.. William R. Wilmer,
United States Collector of Internal Revenue,
of the Fifth district of Maryland, had been en-
tered by burglars, the safe blown open and a
considerable amount of money stolen. On
Wednesday morning when DR.. Wilmer visited
the building, he found the front door g. Jar, and
the Office presented scene OF the greatest con-
fusion. The floor was covered with papers that
had been taken from the desks in the room,
and the monster safe, that occupied one corner,
was standing wide open. After DR.. Wilmer
had recovered to some extent from the effects
of his establishment, he gave the alarm, and
the news spread with such inconcevable ra-
pidity, that within half hour nearly every
person in the village had visited and exam
ined the interior of the building. A large cold
chisel, a Jimmy" three pound sledge ham,
mer, pair OF powerful claw pincers and
suspicious looking black bottle. mat gave forth
faint odor of bad whiskey, were found scat
tered around on the floor, where they had been
thrown by the burglars. The thieves had
drilled hole in one of the iron doors of the
safe, about two inches above the combination
lock. This hole was then filled with powder,
and when exploded, the whole lock and a por
ton of one door were blown out. The thieves
were but poorly rewarded for their labor, as
they only secured about fifty or sixty dollars in
currency. On Tuesday morning DIR. Wilmer
had received from Mr.. Howser, the agent at
Relay Station, large amount of money, to-
gether with several valuable registered letters
and express packages, but the amount being
unusually large the collector concluded to take
it to his private house for safe keeping until
morning, and consequently the safe contained
only about sixty dollars in currency and small
bills.
