The ENGINE IN HooPERs' New MILL AT WboD-
BERRY.-The Ne,cs of 18th instant says: "The
new engine in the mill of Messrs. VIM. E. Hoop
err & Sons, having been all completed and all in
working order, Mr. jerome Wheelock, the patentee
and manufacturer, invited the firm and number
of guests to be on hand on Thursday afternoon, as
he intended to make attest of his magnificent piece
of work. The hour of four o'clock having arrived,
Messrs. VIM. E., VIM. j., James E., and Allen
Hooper, with L. P. d. Newman, the Ne,os repre-
sentative, and a number of other gentlemen, walk
ed into the engine.room where Mr.. Wheelock was
on hand with his hand on the throttle. At a sig
nal from Mr.. H. he turned the gauge, and the
pondrous machine commenced to move like a thing
of life. We have seen great deal of machinery
work, but the "Wheelock engine" moves more ma
jestically than any have yet seen; whilst in
motion it was perfectly noiseless, and worked
without the least vibration This engine has been
put in competition with Corss and given perfect
satisfaction. The Corliss no longer stands in the
| lead, but must now rank second in comparison
with the WheelOck.
This engine is six hundred horse power andis fin
ished up in fine style in nickle plate. The driving
wheel weighs $4,000 pounds and was made by
Messrs. Poole & Hunt, of this town. The engine
was started on 40 pounds of steam and was before
stopping run at good rate of speed with pounds
of steam. The engine runs so easily that it could
be almost run with a tea-kettle."

HIGHER WAGEs.-The Northern Central Rail-
way Company has done very just and honorable
act, and one which will prove n good investment,
even if it be put upon no higher grounds. twill
be remembered that last July, when Striking"
was epidemical and a mob mania spread over the
whole country, the employees of the Northern Cen
trail stood at their posts and were neither scared
or seduced by the appeals threats of emissaries
from riotous gatherings. With fidelity to duty,
a fortitude and intelligence which did them the
highest credit they continued to serve the public
convenience at low wages and to merit public APP
probation.
The Northern Central thus enjoyed the distinc
ton of being one of the few roads which contin-
ued in operation during all the ruinOus and Grim
inal days of that ever to be remembered epoch.
To the intelligence and fidelity of the men, and
the ability and popularity of Mr.. John W. Davis
and Superintendent George c. wilkins with them,
was due this creditable result These officers had
the confidence and affection of the employees, and
| when they explained the cause of the oppressive
wages and promised for the road that when times
improved the workmen should share in that i'm
provement, the men were satisfied to bear their
lot longer, and to await and deservethe fulflment
of the promises
True to its faith, the Company has sustained the
plighted word of its officers, and Saturday last
gave notice through Mr.. Superintendent Wilkins
that at an early day it will increase wages. This
is the dawn of the better time coming. Business
has grown better. There Is healthier tone in
every branch and department of trade. The rail
roads are doing better as the people prosper, and
the "early day" is at hand when men, especially
such deserving men, should receive their reward.
We are glad to see the Northern Central leading
| off in this matter. 1t is not only sign Of bright
enng prospects, for which all to be congratu-
ted, but it is proper acknowledgment of the
services of the men themselves, under extraordi-
nary conditions for which the company and its
employees specially to be Congratulated

FROM UNION MEETING HOUsE.-Messrs. Editors:
Last Saturday was a day long to be remember
ed by the Juvenile class of this section. The Bap
fist Sabbath school held a Singing concert and
festival in the grove in front of the church, the
exercises consisting of addresses by prominent
Sunday school workers, singing by the choir,
speeches and dialogues by the scholars. Mr. j..
w. Gore, the chief manager, announced the pro-
gramme, which was as follows: Singing by the
choir, "AIl hail the power of Jesus name pray
er BY Mr.. Kone; singing by the school. In the
absence of invited speakers, who had not as yet
arrived, Mr.. Kone was requested to address the
audience. He made some very practical and ap-
propriate remarks, and, after singing, the exer-
cises closed until one o'clock. During the inter
val all seemed to enjoy themselves with the con-
tents of their baskets.
The hour for evening exercises having arrived
the choir convened the congregation, after which
the speeches and dialogues which the scholars had
prepared were recited, rejecting great credit on
those who had charge of their training. The Rev.
Mr.. Walsh next addressed the audience, taking for
his subject Sunshine" This was very interest
ing and instructive address following this quar-
tette was sung by Prof. ]. W. Hess, Miss McCul-
Tough, Miss Wolf and Mr.. V. Mccullough. Mr.
NJ. Alban, the superintendent, then addressed the
school. He is an indefatigable Sunday school
worker and always has some salutary truths to re-
late to the scholars, worthy of being fostered by
every youth.
Mr.. Walsh gave the scholars object lesson
This was one of the grandest features OF the day;
after which the choir sang an excellent selection
entitled "Since forty years ago." Following
which came handsome treat for the school when
the congregation was dismissed for the day.
Yours, 5.

FROM HARDWOOD, 18TH DIsTRIcT.-Sa6Jath
School Work-Chicken ChiUs-Politics,
6c.-Messrs. Editors Il attended the Pine Grove
Sabbath school on last Sunday and found it in a
most fourishing condition. Mr.. Geo. Edwards,
the superintendent is still found busy at his post,
doing all in his power to promote the welfare of
the school. Mr.. Baker great Sunday. school
worker, delivered a very interesting address on
Sunday schools and their good effect. He exhibit
ted two Idols that had been captured in hesthen
countries. They were hideous looking objects.
He gave some very interesting incidents relating
to these images and said that hundreds of thous-
ands of people had worship ed them. One of them,
he said, was captured from Hindoo by sailor on
board a man-of-war. Mr.. Williams, of Baltimore,
also delivered very interesting address on tenn
perance, and invited signers to the pledge. His
daughter, Miss Kate, presided at the organ.
We suffered here also by the late storm as see
they did in many parts of the county. Some Of
the late sown grain was washed badly. The farm
ers generally are very busy saving their crop
Some one who had first recovered from the chills
l suppose, wished for some chicken soup, made a
raid on our hen-roOst one night last week and car
ried off several fine young fowls. 1 believe this
chicken stealing seems to be general complaint
all over the county, so we don't feel sighted.
The health of the neighborhood seems to be i'm
proving slowly; several, according to the Dr's
advice, have left for few weeks in order to be-
come cured Of the chills.
l hear very little said the subject of politics,
but all do hear is in favor of the Workingmen's
Independent party.
l hope Oakland will come out next week and
tell us something funny. L..

WILKINS AVENUE CAsE.-The Baltimore Amer
lean of Wednesday says: "The case of p. o.
Brian Co., contractors, VS.. the County Commits
sioners of Baltimore county, removed from the
Circuit Court of Baltimore county, came up in
the City Court yesterday. 1t is one of two cases
in which the plaintiffs claim about $4,000 for
work done on wilkins avenue. 1t appears that
the Court of Appeals, on St. Marys Industrial
School, decided that the proceedings of the COun-
ty Commissioners to condemn and openthe avenue
were irregular and incomplete, the Legislature by
the act of 1874 having repealed that of 1879, I'M
der which the Commissioners were acting. The
Commissioners having passed an order declaring
the avenue opened, except that portion which
passed through the grounds of st. Mary's Indus
trial School, that order Judge Pinkney yesterday
decided to be ultra wires and void, because the
Commissioners had no right to take such action
while objections on the part of the ST. Mary's In
durtrial School were pending. wilkins avenue
was therefore not public road, and it was only
with the latter that the Commissioners had any
thing to do. 1t can also be stated that the Cir
cult Court of BALTIC. CO., in a case involving the
same question as that of the case of O'Brian d
Co., decided that the act of 1873 making valid
former proceedings of the Commissioners in refer
ence to wilkins avenue, was unconstitutional and
void. Judge Pinkney said he would rest on that
decision, as it was for him to review it. Messrs.
Bernard Carter and Benz. C. Barroll appeared for
the plaintiffs, and Mr.. FelderC c. Slingluff for the
defendants. The case will now be taken to the
Court of Appeals
