The Republican National Convention.


This body will assemble at Cincinnati

A number Of farmers in some sections
of Baltimore county have lost nearly their
entire corn crop. The cause of this loss
was the musting Of tho corn after it had
been placed ia.the cribs, rendering it al
most useless. Owing to the warm weather
last fall tho corn dried out very slowly
and that having been housed before thor.
oughly dry, and the long wet season fol.
lowing, wroughtthe damage. HT

Alas! Alas!-"Alas! how light a
cause may move dissention between
hearts that love-" But to prevent
the spirit of discord from entering
into household, to preserve
peace, harmony and happiness a
man must attend to the wants of his
wife; he must see that she is bounti-
fully supplied with all that her dear
heart may desire. True, some wom-
Ell are very hard to please, but of
course we only allude to the sensi-
BILE class, such as will be perfectly
contented with couple of fine
dresses year. Now where is man
Of moderate means to find good and
elegant material at a reasonable
rate? Why of course at A. Vaen-
berg e. Co.'s dry goods palace, No.
80, South g street. He has every
article that any lady desires of style,
pattern and variety to please the
most particular. For further infor-
nation call and examine.
