FROM THE 11TH DISTINGUISHING Chapter Of
Accidents Grabbing, dc.-A few days ago young
son of Mr.. T. Shanahan, manager for E. L. Ra-
phael, ESQ.,, of "Fontenay," while engaged about
the stable, was shockingly mutilated by mare
He was discovered by an older brother who also
received a severe kick in extricating the wounded
one. The boy was nearly scalped, and in one
place the skull was crushed John Shanahan, in
riding the same animal for DOCTOR was thrown
over her head fully fifteen feet and for time render
ed nsensible. He was picked up and carried into
the store of Joseph Nichols, at Upper Falls, and
DIR. Cuttings sent for, but he had sufficiently
covered on the arrival of the physician to tell him
of and hasten him to his more seriously injured
brother. The skillful services of DR.. Cuttings
have placed the patient beyond danger. Until the
arrival of that gentleman all hopes were surren-
dered by the parents and friends. The mare
making the attack has hitherto been considered
perfectly gentle and docle and her sudden change
of disposition can only be accounted for by the
theory that she was rendered nervous and fright
ened by the use of bone-dust in proximity to her
that morning, and that the boy, also being scent
ed with the bone, came upon her before she had
recovered from her fright.

LARGE CRANE KILLED.-Charles Bowen, aged
about Is years, son of Mr.. Sylvester Bowen, of
Towsontown, while cunning in the vicinity of
Chew's pond, short distance from town, on
Wednesday morning, shot and killed large blue
crane. The bird lit ON a tree just over him when
he fired and down it came with of its wings
broken. He was then obliged to use the butt Of
his gun in order to dispatch it it made furi-
Gus resistance and fought bravey for its life. The
crane was the largest ever seen in this vicinity
and measured feet 2 inches from tip to tip of
wings, and feet inches from the point of its
bill to the end of its toes. The legs were 24inch-
es in length and the bill inches. It's weight
was about 5 pounds, although from its appear
ance it looked much heavier.

THE BALTIMORE AND DELTA MARROW GAUGE
RAMROAD.-The Belair 1Egis of last week saws ::
"The project of building narrow gauge railroad
from Baltimore city, by way of Towsontown,
through Baltimore and Hartford counties, connect
ing with the York and Peach Bottom Railway at
its present terminus, Delta, is rapidly emerging
from the mists of uncertainty and assuming tan
gible shape and proportion. The election for sew
en- Directors will be held at Belair on Saturday,
August 18th, and upon the result of this election
will depend the route to be taken and in great
measure the future success of the road.
GAS nearly all our readers are aware two routes
have been proposed through Hartford county, and
active competition has taken place upon each route
to secure the largest amount of subscriptions to
the capital stock of the road in order to control its
location. At some of the preliminary meetings it
was mutually agreed by the friends of the respec-
tive routes that each should do their best in the
way of soliciting subscriptions, and that route
would be chosen upon which the greater amount
of money per mile subscribed. The routes in
question are known by the names of the Twining's
Valley route and the Beair route. The point of
divergence is near the Rocks of Deer Creek, in
Hartford county, and the lines meet in the vicinity
of Greenwood, in Baltimore county. The lines
would be perhaps seven miles apart at the widest
point.
"The present state of the stock subscription, we
are informed, is follows:
amount subscribed upon the Belair route, be-
tween Stirrup Run (near the Rocks of Deer Creek,
and Higle's, Baltimore county, $4,000. The dis
lance has been carefully estimated at 16 miles,
thus showing a subscription of $4,000 mile, the
amount said to be requisite to guarantee the road.
"The friends of the Twining's Valley route claim
to have pledged to that route and to no other stock
subscriptions amounting to $4,000, which, if the
relative figures not changed by the day the
directors to be elected, will give them the
troll of the meeting and enable them to choose di-
rectors favorable to that route.
"Thus the matter stands atpresent, and it begins
to look as though the railroad will not touch Bel
air after ALL
"The contest over the route was q fair one, and
if the citizens along and near the Twinings Val
ley route have been more active and interested
than the friends of the Belair route, they should
have all the benefits which may result from their
industry and enterprise"

THE TEN-HOUR FACTORY LAw-lIow 1T WAS
PASSED, &C-The Baltimore Bulletin having sta
ted some time ago that Trades Unions at cotton
factories had secured the passage of the ten-hour
factory law now in force in this county, cores
pondent at Mount Washington, in this county,
writes that paper follows denying the assertion
ain your edition of July 3lst their appears, in
the editorial department, clause in reference to
trades unions at cotton factories, in which it is
stated that through trades unions the bill to reg
ulate the hours of labor for children under sixteen
years was gotten through the Legislature.
"Now, Mr.. Editor, you are certainly in error in
that respect. There is not neither has there ever
been, any union of factory hands, and, it can be
said, not even such an organization was ever con-
tempated but once and that through outside in
fiuence of other branches of business, and that
was Immediately put down by the operatives
themselves
"The struggle for ten hours per day for factory
employees was first agitated in 1858 at the Gen
eral Wayne Inn, and the contest has ever kept
going on until the session of the Legislature be
fore the last, when the bill was passed, through
the determined efforts of the Baltimore county
delegation, and one of them being large man
ufacturer, who has ever favored the bill and all
other measures that will promote the moral and
sanitary welfare of his employees.
"This bill has been of considerable good to the
hands, and especially the children, and many
thanks are due to Mr.. Jacob Baughman for the
untiring zeal with which he worked for the bill
for years: almost alone he agitated the question
of ten hours visited Annapolis every session of
the Legislature since 1858; called meetings al the
different factories throughout the State made
many enemies among his best friends and we
do say that through Mr.. Jacob Baughman we
have secured law that has secured rest for many
orphans and widows that are compelled to earn
their living by the sweat of their brow"
