A DocroR's SAD END-A despatch from Circle
vile, Ohio to the Cincinnati Inquirer, says dis
tressing accident happened at Lackbourne recent
ly, by which it is said DIR. r: G. Mclean will lose
his life He was illustrating the use ofthe syringe
for the hypodermic injection of morphine, so that
a young lady could administer 1t when necessary
to her mother. He had the syringe filled with
water, and made slight puncture with it in his
own arm. The syringe must have had something
in it which poisoned him, for his arm has swollen
so he will have to die. He is generally uncon-
scious. DR.. Mclean was the cousin and compan-
ion in arms, though younger of Gen. Winfield Scott,
whose living image he is. He served with honor
in Mexico and the late war, AID IS much Deioveu u
in the neighborhood where he resides. 1t is sad
to think of a brave man having safely passed
through two wars to die miserbly at last by sy-
rnpe.

GUNPOwDER AGRICULTURAL CLUB met on Sat
urday last at p. m. at the residence of ID. Cor
such, with ]. D. Matthews as foreman. The
meeting was very interesting and was attended
by large number of guests.
The principal feature of the occasion was the
presentation to Joseph Bosley by Sam'l NJ. Price,
chairman of Prize Corn Committee, of O silver
waiter, silver pitcher, two silver goblets and a
bucket to receive the waste liquids. The pitcher
contains the following inscription: "Awarded to
Joseph Bosley by Gunpowder Agricultural Club
for the largest yield of corn grown on five acres
by any of its competing members in the season of
1876 amount, nineteen barrels per acre. Com
mittee on behalf of the club-Samuel M. Price,
Joshua NJ. Gorsuch and Edward II. Matthews"
The inscription on the bucket is as follows ::
awarded to Joseph Bosley by Gunpowder Ag-
ricutural Club for the largest yield of corn grown
on one acre by any of its competing members in
the season of 1876 amount, % barrels bushels
and pecks Committee on behalf of the club
Samuel NJ. Price, Joshua NJ Gorsuch and Ed
ward II. Matthews" This testimonial is very
handsome in every particular and excited the ad-
miration and elected encomiums from every mem
Der and guest present. The pitcher top is adorn-
ed with novel harvester in acomfortable posture
with a flask in one hand and goblet in the other.
The handle of the bucket is ornamented with a
fox with partridge in his claws. The premium
was only equaled by the happy and well-timed re-
marks of Samuel M. Price in his presentation OF
this testimonial to the recipient. Joseph Bosley
responded in very appropriate terms.
the members of the club expressed much graf
ifcation that Joseph Bosley had received So hand

A SENSATION IN TowsoNTowN.-Wm. Graham
and Charles Armour, two Pittsburgh carpenters
who had been in TowsontOwn since last Summer
building house for J. B. Longnecker, came near
ending their lives on Thursday night of last week.
They had been boarding at Adys Hotel, and on
Thursday morning had a misunderstanding with
Mr.. Frank B. Boarman, the manager, which end
ed in their leaving the hotel. When night came,
not having secured new boarding house, they
repaired to Mr.. Longnccker's new house, which is
unoccupied, and after making fire in the Sex
ton fireplace heater in the parlor, laid down to
sleep. About nine o'clock the following morning
G. Fred Prison. painter, went to the building to
work, but finding the doors all locked, sought to
gain admittance through window. On getting
in he found Graham and Armour upon the floor
in an almost insensbe condition, so nearly ex
hausted that they could give account of their
strange conduct. The services of DR.. Jarrett
were at once ayailed of and upon his arrival he
applied restorativeS and it was not long before
the men began to rally and were soon thereafter
entirely restored. The DR.. gave it as his opinion
that the gas escaping from the stove, which had
not been properly adjusted to carry it off, had
been the cause of the trouble, and also said that
if the men had not been discovered as soon as
they were they might both have been suffocated.
When the news of the affair first reached the
ears of the people the widest rumors were set
ahoat, chief among which was that Graham and
Armour had committed suicide-or had attempted
to do so by taking cold "pisen." Other equally
foolish hints were thrown out, in none of which,
however, was there the first bit Of truth, and when
the facts, as stated above, become known, it was
plain that "big" sensation in Towsontown had
been spoiled

A BEAUTIFUL VIEw.-A correspondent of the
Sun, writing from Mt. Washington, tells of some of
the beautiful views which may be had from the
high hills surrounding that pretty village. He
says: "From the convent grounds can be seen
and heard the hustle and hum of the shuttle and
loom and also the Northern Central railroad try
ing to follow, in its tortuous course, the much
abused Jones falls A short distance beyond and
running almost parallel with the railroad is the
Falls turnpike. This is truly hard road to trav-
eli. A short distance to the north, in bold view
from this point, is Lake Roland, with its massive
white stone 'front.' frozen surface and green rooted
cottage. When this lake was first made fears were
entertained that fever and ague would follow, but
the only shaky thing now is the Falls road bridge
Poor thing, no wonder! Further north and be-
yond tho lake is the beautiful stretch of highland
called "Satyr Ridge" crowned with many beauti-
full residences, among them the fine and costly
mansion of James Boyce, Esq. Further east and
in line with Towsontown, whose temple of jus
tice can be seen in the distance are many beauti-
full hills and valleys, dotted with handsome Gotta
Ces."

A HUMAN OYSTER DEPor.-A countryman call
ed at Towsontown saloon one day this week ant
this is what he said:
He waited for his oyster stew
And drummed upon his plate
A solo with his plated fork,
And thus did mediate:
~ think one plate will not suffice,
Think 1 would not rue it,
If should take another dish;
I'll do it, yes, I'll duet"
He took his stew, he took his two,
And then he heaved sigh, O,
And murmurs in the walters ear,
"Another dish I'll trio,"
Another and another still,
In fact, when he ceased,
This human oyster depot had
quart at the least.
