r EGIsTER AvENUE-A FINE IMPROVEMENT
Abo ut six weeks ago the contract for the construc
t;on of this avenue was awarded to Mr.. John +.
Clark for the sum of 81 $50, and the work is now
nearly completed. Mr.. Clark, assisted by Mr..
Joseph Jackins, has large number of men and
carts at work in order to complete 1T before treez-
ing weather sets in.
This nv enue commences at the Hillen road, near
Halls shop, and running almost in straight line
nortbwesta,rly intersects the York turnpike road
one and a-half miles south of TOwsontown. 1t
onans nm to travel one of the most beautiful pOr-
tions of our county-a section hitherto almost I'M
known on account of this long delayed improve
ment. THE avenue runs through the lands OF
Samuel Bradys heirs, Messrs. Garrett, Roden-
wald. Viii teley, Myers, Eicheberger, Register and
others, interesting the York road between the
lands of MIS- George Brown and Mr.. Frederick
Harrison.
This, like all other improvements OF the kind, is
due mainly to the energy and iberality of one
nerson. In this case Mr.. Register is the motive
bower. About two years ago he expended up
wards of one thousand dollars in the purchase OF
right-ofsway and construction, beside his assess
ment for its completion
The Register farm, called "Beulah," consists OF
about go acres and was formerly owned by the
Merryman family. Since coming into the hands
of its present owner it has been much improved
and beautifed, making it now one of the most at
tractiye country seats and farms in the suburbs Of
Baltimore.
We congratulate Mr.. Register and his neighbors
whose perseverance and liberality have contrbu-
ted another of those much abused county roads to
the convenience and pleasure Of the community
at large.

FIRE AT WAvERLEY-Two DWELLINGS BURNED.
About 81 o'clock on ldonday morning last the
residents of Waverey startled by the ringing
of the church bells and Ill turned out hurriedly to
find an unoccupied dwell ling, located on Gorsuch
avenue, and belonging to James p. Rock, of Balti-
more, in flames. Every eff Ort put forward by the
large crowd which G: altered to savethe house,
but without avail the flames spread very rapid
ly. When the house rs about half burned an
other near by, belonging to and occupied by Fran
els Hart, Jr also took fire and those assembled
commenced removing the furniture, &C., all of
which gotten out safely. Both houses were
burned to the ground The loss will reach about
$4,000. Mr.. Harris horse was insured in the Ger
office of Baltimore for $4,000, but there was
no insurance on Mr.. Roc property. Itisthought
that tramps entered tn unoccupied house for the
purpose of spending the night, and by some
means, either through accident or design, set fire
TO it. Waverley, like Towsontown, is without any
means of protection against fire.

FpoM WARREN.-Messrs.

FROM WARREN.-Messrs Editors Indian
Summer has come and gone; its smoky atmos-
nbere, its heecy clouds and its milder temperature
all have vanished, true harbinger OF hibernal
winds and hyperborean SHOWS closing the inlets OF
commerce and shutting off all approaches to hus-
bandry; ground already hard and stiffened by the
unyieiding frost over which blows the artc breath
of winter. Here, as elsewhere may be seen the
trees of forest and of glen Invested OF their foil
age with their skeleton arms protruding from their
apparent leless trunks. How changed and faded
are all their summer garb which lies dry ana with
cred in bewidered mass, driven in fury by the an
gry elements to all points of the compass until
mother earth takes them to her friendly bosom and
luls them into rest.
Thanksgiving was duly observed here, at least
so far as the inner-man was concerned stores,
mill and factory closed for the day, operatives re-
joicing that time was allowed them to revel IN a
~souare meal" All passed off pleasantly without
disnuiet or disorder The order of Red Men
marched in procession from their hall to the free
church with band) in the afternoon and were ad-
dressed by Messrs. Jones and Schafer of a distant
order. At night the members proceeded to the
school house and partook of an oyster supper
prepared for the occasion.
On Sunday 25th inst, at the same church re-
vival meeting commenced under the labors OF
Reys. Gray and Trout. Three services were held
during the day. This meeting is still In progress,
thus far resulting in few conversions together
with n small number of seekers who are nightly at
the altar, all of whom are principally OF that por-
ton of the youth of this place who last 1all pro-
fessed conversion. Christian charity more en-
Iarged and church ordinances more frequently Cd
served are blessings much needed and most earn
eStly desired. l.

FORGIVENESS.

A soldier was about to be brought before his
commanding oficer for some offence. He was
an old offender, and had been often punished.
" Here he 10 agdip," (said the officer on his name
being mentIoned) acknowledgements
tary contnement-everythin thing-hss been tried
with him." Whereupon the sergeant stepped
took, said: There is one thing which has
never been done with him yet, sir" "Wbati is
that ~ said tho officer. "Well, sir" said the
sergeant, 4" he has never been forgiven" " For
given!' exclaimed the colonel, sorprised at
the suggestion. He reflected for . few min
utes, ordered the culprit to be brought in, and
asked him what he had to say to the charge
Nothing, sir" was his reply, ''orly am sorry
for what have DONE" Turning a kind and
pitifnl look on the man. who ex peoted nothing
else than that bis Punishment would be in-
creased with the repetition of his offence. the
colonel addressed him, saying: "Well, we
have tried everything with you, and now we
are resolved to-forglve you'll" The soldier
was struck dumb with amaz sment. The tears
started 10 his eyes, and he wept like o child.
He was humbled to the dust; and thanking
his ficer, he retired-to be the old, refr actory
incorrigible mani No! from that day forward
he was new man. He rho told us the story
bad him for years under his eye, and q better
conducted man never wore the Queens colors.
In him kindness bent one whom hardness
could not break. The man was conquered by
mercy, and melted Sy love.
Have you to do with one with whom you
have tried every kind of punishment in vainS
Inc next time yon are going to strike the blow
stay your hand, and say Well, have tried
everything with you now have resolved to
forgive you." Who knows but you also may
touch the secret chord of that heart, and find
the exquisite lines of the poet true:
Each block OF marble in the mine
Conceals the Paphan Queen:
Apollo I0bed in light divine,
And Palas the serene:
1t only needs the lofty thought
To give the slories BIRTH
And 10! by skilful fingers wrought,
They captisate the earth
So. in the hardest human heart
One little well appears
fountain in some hidden part,
Brinful OF gentle tears;
1t only needs the master touch
OF loves OF PHYS hand;
And 10 the rock with water burst
And gushes DER the land.

AMERICAN FRUIT IN EURoPE.-Europe is
now taking a surprising quantity of American
frnit. The purchases have amounted. accord
ing to the New York Tribune, TO over 81, 500 600
worth since June, 1876, compared with $780,
900 in the same period the year before. Dried
apples figure largely in this movement. This
country has exported over II. .0OOO 900 lbs. of
them since last June, as compared with 522-
900 lbs. the previous year. This new addition

improved methods for drying and preserving
for transporting frnit. The greatest progress
has been made in the way of dry ers. Within
a year some notable inventions in this line have
been perfected which are q great scq quisition
to the resources of the country. The fruit
dryer bids fair hereafter to be as much of o
necessity to every farming community as the
cider mill and the cheese factory.

WHITE AND BLACK MoRTALrTY.-The health
report of Charleston, s. c., presents some facts
touching the comparative vigor of whites and
blacks that il is not easy to explsn. The pop
ulatioR of the city is sc, ,000-24, 900 whites
and 80 600 oolored persons. As the colored
persons outnumber tue whites, of course the
mortality tables embrace a greater numb Der of
the former than of the latter; but the dispro-
portion of deaths is strikiDgIy greater than
the dispropnrticn in the population. Thus,
among the whites there were 66S deaths, and
among the colored persons 1 ,344 deaths in
1S76-or twice as many among the latter as
among the former, though the ooored popula-
tiou exceeds the whites only one-tbird. In
1875 there were ga deaths among the whites
and ,240 among the blacks-stll about the
same disproportion. In 1876 there were 81
deaths in the thousand among the whites aud
AZ in the thousand among the blacks. The
difference is still more strikingly exhibited in
the infant mortality. About IA per cent. of all
the deaths were of children under five years
old, or Sl6; bat of this number only 239 were
white children and 653 colored-or nearly
three of the latter to one of the former. These
facts, says the St. Louis Republican, are not
explained by the inability of the colored peo
pie to secure medical attendance, for medical
attendance can be had by the poor, white and
black alike, without cost, and there is proba-
bly, no city in the United States where the
colored population are in a more comfortable
condition than In Charleston.

INCREASED APPROPRIATIONS FOR PIGEONS
BY EUROPEAN NATIoNs.-A curious item in the
military estimates of the greater military
powers of Europe is the snm now set down an
nually for the providing and maintenance of O
certain number of pigeon breeding establish
ments and houses. The large German for
tresses of Cologne, Metz, Mayence, Strasburg,
and Others are all supplied with compliment
of pigeons, and in France great efforts have
been and still are being made to insure that
there shall be good stock of these birds in

was first worked out in practice during the in
vestmepts of Paris and Metz during the late
Franco-German war. So vigiant was the
watch kept by the Germans over all the ap-
proaches leading into the fortresses that In
fact, no other messengers could enter the be-
leaguered towns. Pigeons could be trusted
under certain easily fulfilled conditions, to re.
turn with all speed TO their homes; and, con-
sequently, Numbers of them were taken out of
Paris in balloons, to be subsequently laden
with dispatches, with which they then re-
turned to the capital. At first the messages
were tied round the necks of the pigeons but
it.was found that when this was done many of
the birds returned without their dispatches,
having probably got rid of them themselves
during their flight. The plan was therefore
adopted of reducing the dispatches, by tho
aid of photography, to the sma malest possible
Dimensions. and enclosing them in q quill,
which was then fastened under one of the
larger feathers of the pigeons wing. By this |
means not only was the loss of the dispatches |
avoided, but they were also protected from |
partial destruction or obliteration by the
weather. |

A HEROIC WoMAN.-The French Govern
ment has just conferred the military medal
upon young woman employed in the tele-
graph Office at Pithiviers during the war of
1870. Upon the arrival of the German forces
in that town during the month of November,
they ct once, as was their wont, took posses
sion of the telegraph Office and relegated
Nile. Dodu. the young woman in charge, to q
room on the frst floor. The wires passed
through this loom, and Mile Dodu managed
70 tap them and convey the information to the
sob -Prefect. One day q telegram arrived from
the Pruessian staff at Orleans, addressed to
Prince Frederick Charles, informing him of
the march of q French corps upon Glen, and
Suggesting the movements to be made in order
to eurrOund it. This telegram che took to the
Sub-Prefece, who made three copies of it for
the commander Of the French corps sending
each by o different messenger. Two of the
three were killed, but the third arrived, and the
information enabled the French commander
to make timely retreat The Prussians did
not ascertain what had taken plece until iust
before the armistioe, but for which Mile. Dodu
might have Jared badly. AS it was, Prince
Frederick Charles, who was st Pithiviers just
after the armstice, congratulated Mlle Dodu
upon her courage, and offered her a place in
the Prussian telegraph service. This she
naturally refused, and, after having been
Placed in the orders of the day by the Minister
" War, was appointed directress of the tele-
graph office at Enghien.

Oberly's Appointment.

The Jonesboro Gazette says Of Gov.
Culloms appointment of Mr.. Oberly:
It gives N pleasure to let the people OF
Union county know OF one appointment
which ia truly meritorious one. We re-
fer to the appointment by Gov. Cullom
Of John H. Oberly. Esq. Of Cairo, to the
railroad and warehouse commission.
Southern Illinois has been hitherto
pretty generally ignored In the matter Of
appointments. Now that the governor
has shown his good sense by
ignoring sectional lines In the
great state over which he
rules, we are glad that his penetration
has discovered in John" the very man
for the position. OF remarkable ability,
polite and afable to all men. q ready de-
batOr, deep thinker and sound reasOner,
we know of no man $50 long as Union
county could not get it, that is more
worthy. We do not want il understood
that we think 1t necessary tor US to haye
a railroad and warehouse board at all.
Wa are opposed to it as much as we are
to returning boards, but so long as it Is
the law, no ma n. in our estimation, in
Southern Illinois, could have been Sc
lected that will please the people better
than Hon. John II. Oberly.
The valley Clarion, published at Ches-
ter. says on the same subject
John II. Oberly, editor OF the Cairo
BULLETIN. has received the appointment
as q member OF the state railroad and
warehouse commission, from Governor

tions Tor the place. The Valley Clarion
commends the choice Of Governor Gull
