Prospects were never better in this coun-
ty than at this time for heavy crops of wheat
and grass. Unless some unforeseen enemy at
tacks the wheat between now and harvest the
crop will be an unprecedentedly large one.
Oats looks we'll and corn is doing finely, except
the drawbacks caused by the late heavy rains,
and farmers have reason to anticipate boun-
tiful harvest. That it may be SO is the earn
est wish of all.
On Saturday last the SEn copied sixteen
items from our local columns and gave us not
one word of credit And the worst Of it is in
transferring one Of the items to its columns it
made very bungling mistake. We stated
that j. Harry Ward, son of DIR. j. Robt. Ward,
of Govanstown, had sailed for Europe, &C.,
when it announced that DIR. ]. Robt. Ward had
sailed for Europe, which statement it has since
been obliged to correct.
Mount Moriah Lodge of Masons of this
town, entertained large number of visitors
from Baltimore and elsewhere, on Friday even
ing of last week. "called'' communica ton
of the Lodge was held in the afternoon, at
which the third degree Of the order was Gen.
ferred upon six candidates. About o'clock
all repaired to the Smedley House and partook
of a substantial repast which had been pre-
pared by Col. Mann. One hundred and three
gentlemen sat down to supper.
The Spring meeting of the Maryland
Jockey Club commenced at Pimlico on Tues
day last and continued four days, there being
four races each day. The weather was all that
could have been desired and the racing very
fine, some of the contests being most exciting.
The crowds in attendance were not so great as
OIL former occasions, owing perhaps, to the dull
times and the consequent scarcity of money.
There were larger number of horses present
than at any previous meeting, and all of the
best stables in the country were represented.
"A great many inquiries are being made
as to whether or not the law to prohibit stock
running at large within five miles Of Balti-
more, passed at the last session of the Legisla-
ture. We have the best authority for saying
that such law passed, but up to this
time, Notwithstanding the fact that the clerk
to the County Commissioners of this county
has several times written to Annapolis for it
and other local laws, we have been unable to
procure a copy of it for publication. 1t will
be published, however, as soon as received.
Reports ofdamage by the late storm con-
tinue to reach us, and it is said that such a
blow was never before experienced in Balti-
more county. In portions of the 10th district
all fences running north and south were level
ed with the ground and in some instances the
rails were carried off considerable distance.
large rick of straw, on the farm of Mr.. Chas
Curtis, was blown over, and Mr.. c., who was
standing near at the, time narrowly escaped
being injured by the flying rails on which the
rick was built, and which were taken up by
the wind and hurled about with terrific force.
