Our correspondent from Rocky Ridge

Our correspondent from Rocky Ridge
speaks in glowing terms of the qualifca-
tions possessed by Thos. A. Kolb as an
auctioneer. He recently sold, for Joshua
II. Norris, six mich COWS which ave. aged
$51, and calf, 10 months old, $lS He
wants to know who can beat this and his
reasons for so doing.
THE number of public sales this season
is unprecedented. Up to this date We bave
printed over thirty five seta of bills and
have orders for number more. Persons
tell us, who have mad sales, that things sell
away beyond expectations, notwithstand-
ing the tight times, and all appear to be
we'll satisfied with the results of their sale,
except those that the sheriff relieved.
APPEALS AND TRANsFERs.-As the
time is approaching for the hearing ofap-
pcals and the making of transfers by the
County Commissioners, attention is di-
rcctcd to their notice in our advertising
columns. 1t is an important notice to such
OF the taxpayers as may wish to have
their assessments corrected, and they
should not fail to remember it.
| On Monday last, says the Westminster
Advocate, Mr. VIM. Yingling, one of our

was suddenly stricken with heart disease
Mr.. Yingling was &C years of age on the
day of his death.
PIG InoN.-Thc pig iron trade, which
has been almost Frustrated for some time
past, gives promise of al early revival
Several orders have lately been received
here for shipment to the rolling mills at
Cumberland sc. Col. J. b. kunkel, pre-
prictor of Caloctin Furnaces, has over
100000 worth of iron lying at the depot
in this city Examiner.
OUT OF DEBT.-Thc debt of about $25,
900, says the Frederick Union, which has
been hanging over Trinity Methodist Epis-
copal Church, south, in this city, for some
time, was raised hy subscription last Sun

happy on being out of debt. The sermon
preached ny Bishop Marvin on that day,
contributed very largely to this happy re-
suit.

and tends more than anything else to keel

as he can, that is the only way to max
money circulate and business revive.
