SUSIE p. SILVER.

Died, at ST Louis, on Tuesday, the Goth
ut., SUSIE p, wife Of Capt. David Silver,
and daughter of the late James Silver, of
this county, in the 2Sth year of her age.
1t was but few years ago she left her fathers
home young and attractive bride. In her
bridal attire she babe adieu to her friends and
relatives of Hartford, and with bright prospects
left for her new home in St. Louis All seemed
fair and promising. kind and aifectionate
husband; q comfortable home, and new but
kind friends to greet her, to whom she became
much endeared But alas how soon can the
sky be overcast! The roseate hue of her youth
soon faded Her health became impaired, and
for several years she was partially an invalid
During the past winter she became more of an
invalid, and gradually, like the delicate flower,
faded away. Her spirit took its flight to its
abode, its home above, its heavenly rest; and
we trust to meet there those dear ones lately
gone before.
Afar off from her native land she lies on the
banks of the Mississippi; but near to the hearts
of those who dearly loved her. And although
her tomb cannot be weekly visited, and strewed
with flowers by fond mother and loving sister,
yet she will be affectionately remembered
long remembered-by her loved ones at home

STRIFE BETWEEN NEIGHBoRs "A seri
Gus difficulty occurred at the Hickory, last
Sunday morning, between james Heron and
Franklin Kone, which came near resulting
in tragedy The facts as we gather them,
are MS follows: About a year ago Mr.. Heron
exchanged his farm and store house, ut the
Hickory, with Mr.. Kone, taking in exchange
therefor Baltimore city property belonging
to the latter. Mr.. Heron was unable to give
Il fee simple title to his property, and leased it
to MIR. Kone. Being afterwards DESTROYS of
repossessng his home, and while negotiations
to that end were in progress, he removed his
family to the country, a few weeks ago, expect
ing to be re-insated at once. He was refused
entrance, and placed his family in the store
house, which had been rented to George
Heron, his brother. The Two families live
in close proximity, and an angry feud sprang
up between them. Mr.. Konc resisted every
attempt of Mr. Heron to use any portion of
the property except the store house. The
family of Mr.. Heron had been getting water
from the pump at the barn, which was in the
possession of Kone. On Sunday morning
Heron sent as usual for water, and the SER
want returned and reported that the pump
was chained and locked. Mr.. Heron, ac-
companed by the colored man, then proceed
ed to the pump, and as the former with o
hatchet was about to break the lock, Mr..
Kone appeared and ordered him to desst,
He persisted, however, in his efforts to break
the lock, when Mr. Kone drew revolver,
but before he could use it was seized by
George Heron, who had been attracted to
the spot, and dsarmed. Mr.. Koue retreated to
wards the house and obtained his gun, and
as he levelled it at James Heron, the gun
barrel was seized by his step-son. Mr.. Ben
thall, and George Heron, and while strug-
Cling to free himself, James Heron advanced
and dealt him blow on the forehead with his
Ratchet The parties then separated.
Cross writs were Immediately sued out be-
fore Justice Martin, and the entire Heron
family, with tn colored man, Harry Quay,
were arrested by Sheriff Henway Franklin
Kone was also arrested-each on the charge
of assaulting with intent to kill the other.
Tuesday was the day set for hearing the case,
but both sides waived an examination before
the magistrate and gave bail for their appear
ance at court next November. Subsequently
peace warrants were obtained by each party
against the other, and each one was bound
over to keep the peace. Mr.. Heron then
sued out n writ of ejectment against Kone,
jury was summoned, and the case will he
heard on the premises at ten o'clock to-day
The affair has created considerable stir
and excitement in the neighborhood of the

Monday was field day in Bel Air. The
County Commissioners were in session, n
meeting of the railroad committees was held,
a number of people were in search of law for
the redress of real or supposed grievances,
and last, but not least, the examination of
public school teachers began. The latter
brought to town a goodly number of school
mistresscs and masters, to puzzle over diff
cult questions in algebra, geometry or gram
mar. Let us hope every aspirant was sue
cessful in demonstrating his or her ability to
teach the young idea of Hartford.

No MORE ROUND TRIP TIcKETs.-The
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company have disc continued the
sale of excursion or round-trip tickets from
Edgewood to Baltimore, and we arc inform
ed that the sale of tickets of this character
on the road
This action of the railroad company has
been made necessary, it is stated, from
the fhct that considerable trouble and annoy
ance has been caused by persons purchasing
these tickets at reduced rates and upon con-
dition that they were TO be used only upon
certain trains and for limited time, and then
demanding the right to use them upon any
train on the road and at any time, without
the payment of additional fare For instance,
single fare one way from. Edgewood to
Baltimore is siXty-five cents, while an excur-
sion or round,trip ticket, good for one day, to
he used on the Port Deposit train, was sold
for nincty.five cents. The Company have
allowed these tickets to be used two DAYS,
and after that time nave demanded from the
holder thereof thirty-fivc cents addiii onal,
thus making the fare $1.30 for both ways, or
the regular price of unlimited tickets. 1t is
certainly unreasonable for persons to purchase
tickets at reduced rate and upon expressed
conditions, and then attempt to use them the
same as iffull fare had been paid for them. The
company in question has shown every dspo.
sition to oblige and accommodate the people
along its line, and the course they have adopt.
ed is simply for selfprotection At the same
time it seems hard that the innocent should
suffer with the guilty. We hope some ar
rangement may be made whereby those who
are willing to comply with the terms of the
company may continue to receive tie bene-
fits of Il reduced rate of fare when travelling
upon this road.

The good Doctor, although taken completely
by surprise, expressed his thanks to his

it afforded of a reviving interest in their

Creek Farmers Club, touching on the effect
which forests have on the rain fall. Whatever
doubt remains as to the effect of forests on the
yearly aggregate, there is no doubt on this point,
point overlooked in the discussion, viz /: that
forests retain The moisture Ia the soil, both by
shelterlnB II from the sun ana by loosenlng 1t
with their roots, so that the rains poured down
do not at once run off to the streams. In this
way the rivulets are gradually fed, the wells,
springs and mill streams are sustained during
the dry intervals between the great rains and the
danger of floods and foundations diminished. =
Many farmer has little spring branch heading

have been cleared they are too dry. Springs are
