DAMAGE BY WHIRL- WIND.-Between six
and seven O'Clock on Monday evening last,
during the progress of heavy thunder storm,
a whirl-wind struck the timber land of Mr..
John G. Pearce, in Long Green Valley, and in
a very few minutes blew down fifteen large
trees, besides leveing large number of small
er ones. The storm swept narrow swath
through the woods, and was of such force as to
blow the trees out by the roots. The ground
swept over was less than an acre and was with
in 300 yards of Mr.. P.'s house. The wind made
a terrific, roaring sound, like unto cataract,
and created considerable alarm in the imme-
date vicinity.

GARDENvILLE ITEMs.-The heavy rain on
Monday night did considerable damage among
the gardeners, by washing the ground and de-
stroying small plants, &c. The rain came down
with such force that it was very destructive to
the gardening interests.
The county roads suffered considerably
Much of the work recently done on them, will
have to be done over again.
Many culverts were badly damaged and will
have to be repaired at once.
The growing grain is looking splendidly, and
if it keeps seasonable until harvest, there will
be an abundant yield. The prospects for a
great yield of cherries and other small fruits
were never better.

HARTFORD ROAD IrEMs.-Sunday, l4th inst,
being a beautiful day the Hartford road was
unusually travelled by pedestrians, besides a
great number of private family carriages
The cars were crowded. barley Park being
the principal place of attraction on the road.
Running races, a most.dangerous amusement,
are INDUCED in almost daily, endangering the
lives of children who are out in numbers when
the weather is fine.
Some of the men employed at Lake Monte

The rising generation is not, as a general

Centennial year they are constantly making
inquiries about events connected with the Rev.
olution. The writer was asked the question,
"Were all the signers of the Declaration Of In

out, and those who may have forgotten, we give
the number who were not born in the United

in Ireland, two in Scotland, one in South Wales.
Four were Marylanders. William Paca,
born in Hartford Thomas Stone, Samuel Chase
and Charles Carroll of Carrollton. The latter
was the longest survivor of the signers, and
died Nov l4th, 1882, aged 95 years. Interest
ing sketches might be given of each but it
would take up more space than the Union can
spare at this time. We hope, however, that
this much information will encourage the
young people to seek for more knowledge con-

LECTURE BY MoNK.-Rev. A. N. Experidon,
Bulgarian Monk of the Greek church, from
Jerusalem, delivered very entertaining lee
ture in the Court House, in this town, on We'd
nesday evening, to large audience. His sub
ject, which he treated in a mastery manner,
was Palestine, Babylon, Persia. Arabia, East
India, China, Japan, &C., giving accounts of
his travels in those countries, the habits of the
people, &c. Rev. Experidon is very odd
looking individual and attracted much atten-
ton here on account of his peculiar dress,
which consisted of long gown, reaching to
his feet and belted in at the waist; a kind Of
Turkish cap and pair of shoes. We learn
from him that by the vows he has taken as a
Monk he is not permitted to wear any other
garment except that named above. He looks
to be about fifty years of age, and is man of
varied information and much intelligence
The lecture was free, and at its close collec
ton was taken up amounting to some four or

county, destroying bridges, up-rooting trees,
&c.
The county bridge over Gwynn's Falls, at
Towards mill I'd district, was carried away,
as also temporary bridge over the same stream
at Edmondson avenue, and wire teot-brldge
at Wetheredville.
A bridge of thirty feet span, on the Western
Maryland railroad, one mile from Owings'
Mills, was washed away by the flood, causing
only brief delay to trains.
In portions of the 9Th and 10th districts the
storm was very heavy. Forest and fruit trees
were destroyed, fences blown down, and in some
instances farm buildings were considerably
damaged.
In the Sd district a great deal of damage was
done by the washing OF roads, corn fields, &c.
In some cases fields of corn that had just been
planted were torn into gulches, necessitating
an entire replanting.
At Oakland, Northern Central Railroad, the
storm was very violent. Many fruit trees were
uprooted fences blown down, aid houses sensi-
bly, shaken. creating CONSERVATION among the

ing the cracking of the timbers jumped the
fence and bounded away into the fields Mr..
Levi Prices bsrrack was also blown over
Considerable damage was done to the proper
