LOCAL AFFAIRS.

A FxE NEw BAaN. We noted, some weeks
ago, that Mr.. Vim. Fenby, living on the Wash.
ington road, about mile and half from
Westminster, was building handsome new
Swiss barn. The barn is 10 feet long aud 40
feet wide. 1t rests upon solid stone foun.
dalton, three feet thick, with brick end walls,
giving the structure neater finish. The
masonry was done by Mr.. Josephus Sheeler,
the blacksmith's work BY Mr.. Geo. Mahanna,
the carpenter work by Mr.. Joshua Ditmau,
who has made very neat and substantially
finished job Of il. The basement or ground
floor Is arranged for the comfort Of the stock
and for the convenience Of feeding. II i
provided with stalls for nine head OF horses.
and the department for the cows is supplied
with Clifford spatentself haltering slanncheon.
A wide passage extends from end TO end OF
the building, and the ventilation is perfect
The main floor is laid Of inch plank, OF two
thicknesses, which makes the floor very sub.
stantial The space for the threshing floor is
capacious. Wagons loaded with hay, straw,
&C., can drive in upon the main floor, where
there are ropes, pullies and forks, for unload.
ing by horsepower. On the main floor, in
one corner Of the building, are four grain
bins which will hold 70 bushels EACH made
of best yellow pine, and SO closely Joined to.
gether that not even clover seed could escape
through the joints. At each end of the barn
are oyeuets for hay on one side, and straw
and bedding ON the other There are IA stat
blinds or yentilators on the rear side, | / on
each end aud several on the front side, while
the top Of the barn is surmounted by three
upright ventilators, the centre one the largest,
giving an ornate finish to the roof The stills,
beams and girders are of substantial white
oak and chestnut timber, cut from Mr.. Fen
by's own forest. The barn has not vet been
painted. When entirely finished, the old
buildings torn down, and the debris removed,
Mr.. Fenby will have one Of the best barns in
the county. And, indeed, the farm is worthy
of it. 1t contains $50 acres of very fine land,
which he has put in high state Of cultivation,
and has stocked il with great variety OF
choice fruit, consisting of apples, pears, cher
ries, peaches, raspberries, strawberries, &c.
The orchard is large and aourishing, contain.
ing about 200 trees of very choice varieties.
Located as it is, so convenient to the county
seat, it is one of the most desirable farms in
this nejghborhood.

A CoSTRAsT-We visited Hagerstown on
business two weeks ago, and could but mark
the contrast between the streets Of that place
and Westminster. There the streets are
paved, scraped, and swept clean. Here they
alternate between mud and dust and present
very uninviting aspect. The streets are not
paved, and are the receptacles of coal ashes,
scraps of paper, the sweepings Of offices, &c.
Stones, rubbish, and the debris of buildings,
pavements, and other accumulations, are per.
mitted to lie in the streets from month to
month. There is no one who seems to have
pride enough to clean up these distractions
and nuisances, and the city authorities have
not disturbed themselves, to any great extent,
IN order to keep our streets clean The in
PRODUCTION Of water is talked Of, but it seems
to us that the most pressing necessity of all
is the pavement of the streets, us the dust, at
times, is intolerable.

The County FARM.-The fence enclosing
the Aims House Farm has been nicely white.
washed, giving an air of tidiness and neatness
which is pleasant to the eye of the beholder.
The lime contributes to the preservation of
the fence and gives an air of cheerfulness to
the premises. The labor was performed by
the inmates, entailing very little additional
expense, save the outlay for few brushes
and a few additional bushels of lime Stran.
gers from distance who visit our Aims
House and the Farm on which it is located,
say they never saw a better managed institu.
ton of the kind anywhere Everything in
the House and upon the Farm is kept scru.
pulously neat and clean, and the institution
is an honor to the county, one in which her
citizens may feel just pride.

Another Statement from Bowen.
Henry C. Bowen tonight appeared
before the special committee Of Ply
mouth church appointed to try his
case. The charges preferred against
Bowen by the examining committee
were read and Bowen made a very
lengthy reply, which was a general
denial of all charges made by the
committee. To the charge accusing
him of SANDER Bowen said that the
publication of his communication of
Feb 4th had.made him liable to suit
for libel before civil courts and the
fact that no such action had been
brought against him is presumptive
proof that he has not been guilty of
SANDER. Clerk Filney conducted the
case for the prosecution and when he
had concluded it was arranged that
the committee should meet next
Tuesday evening, when Bowen will
be put on his defence.
Mysterious Abduction.

posed the act was done to get his
money.

quiry of the House committee on
foreign affairs, saying that Minister
Schenck, since the date of tho secre-
tary's former communication, few
days ago. has resigned his office. The

day on which he resigned, as just pre-
vious to Schenck taking passage from
London to the United States II was
announced that he had obtained leave
of absence. The committee have
called on Secretary Fish for further
Information on the subject in the way
of notes and kilograms. The commit
tee have nothing to show that Schenck
was required to resign in obedience to
a request of the British government,

ever, reason to believe that Great
