Rangers Lodge, Hartford Co., Md.

On plateau wide and dreary,
Stark and lorn and solitary,
Stands Rangers Lodge;
The slanting gate on rusty hinges
Against the post so rude impinges,
Twill scarcely bulge.
Across the lane gnared boughs outstretching,
Beneath the Alders deity Matching
The turkey broods;
Along the fence crowd briar and thistle,
Back to the fields the partridge whistle
Echo the woods.
The squirrel scarce conceals his gambols
Along the path the rabbit ambes,
Nor breads assault;
Closed round the house are all the shutters,
Yet no dark portal legend utters
Like Dante's vaults
marvel if the house be haunted
1t surely wears an air enchanted,
By weird spell;
But spite of warIock, ghoul or glamour,
My heart elate par Dieu ct l'amour,
I'll ring the bell.
Surely tits no dream Pm dreaming,
What | behold is past all seeming,
Tho heavenly fair;
lady tall her locks gold cleaning,
Most dainty lips and eyes outbeaming,
Beauty most rare.
Oh for hero like Orlando,
Valiant knight and sage commander,
To storm this hold:
From chateau grim to brighter sphere
To bear away this fairest fair,
As in days of old.
Who wins this lovely dame must wear her
And on his heart most proudly bear her,
Mid beauty's host;
Whatever shocks of fate betide him.
Through veal and woe keep her beside him,
And love her most.

fire had been kindled in the coal stove early
in the morning, and at ten o'clock, when SER
vices were about to commence in the Sunday

into the chmney-top. The alarm was given
and nun.ber of persons were soon on the

There is an insurance of $4,025 on the build
ing and 1875 on the contents, in the Har-
ford county company The rectory, situated
near the church, was in great danger from
ficulty. The carpets were taken up and
every preparation made to remove the furni-
ture, which, fortunately, was not necessary.
Trinity church was completed in 1857 the
first service having been held in it on Sunday,
July 7th, ofthat year. 1t was built chiefly by
the exertions of DIR. David Harlan, who con-
tributed the greater portion of the money eK-
pended in its erection. Its first cost was
about $4,000. The congregation and their
devoted rector had been preparing for joy
full celebration of Christmas, but their joy has
suddenly been turned into sorrow at the loss
of their beautiful church. The congregation
will worship for the present in Hanson Hall,
over F. B. Hanson g. Co.'S store. This is
the second L Episcopal church in this county
that has been destroyed by fire with
in the last nine years-the Other being St.
James's, or the Trap Church, situated about
five miles from Trinity, which was burned
from similar cause on Sunday, April 18th,
1869 In the latter case there was total loss,
the church not being insured. 1t was rebuilt
few years ago.

BUILDING ACTIVITY AT PERRYMANs-
vILLE.-In addition to the Episcopal parson-
age being built at Perrymansgille, new
dwelling has been commenced there by Mr..
]. H. Emmord. 1t is now under roof
D. Quinlan also has a dwelling house un-
der way, which will probably be finished in
the course of two or three weeks.
Since the owners of land around Perry
Evansville have shown disposition to sell
small building lots, an obstacle has been re-
moved that has, for ten or twelve years past
impeded the prosperity of the place. Its
freedom from malaria and mosquitoes the
fine quality of the land, and its proximity to
the city, should make it desirable place of
residence for business men of Baltimore.
LAPIDUM AFFAIRs.-Goat meat is consid-
cred great delicacy by some of the residents
of Lapidum.
One of the boats plying between Port
Deposit and Baltimore was taken off last
week. The other will continue to run as long
as freights pay
Stirring revival services have been held
at the M. p. Church, at Lapidum, for the
past two weeks. The church is nightly
crowded, and large number ofconverts have
been the fruits.
The bridge above Rock Run, which was
swept away by the recent floods, has been re-
built
The fine large old Archer mansion house
at Rock Run, with It's beautiful surroundings,
is still unoccupied. A good tenant, in the
opinion of our correspondent, is needed.

about 10 barrels of corn, 200 bushels of oats,
30 bushels of wheat, and all his farming i'm

about 40 by so feet in size Mr.. WesiArilps
loss is about $4,000, on which there is $3.50
insurance in the Hartford company. Mr..
Wetherill was absent from home when the
fire broke out, and the first intimation the

the alarm. 1t is believed that the barn was
set on fire by some one engaged in stealing
chickens-it being a common practice for
chicken thieves to burn sulphur matches to
stupefy chickens and prevent them from max
