MEASURING For GARTERs.-Last
week. says the Hagerstown Mail, a
woman canvassed this town to sell
patent carriers to the ladies. These
carriers had to be made or altered to
suit individual limbs and so the can
vasser found it necessary in all cases
to make an accurate measurement
The patent garter was considered a
first-rate article and the canvasser or
vanvassers drove a lively trade here,
sold many carriers and measured
many limbs. She left here to ply
her trade in Pennsylvania town.
There a combination of circumstances
which it is not necessary or indeed
Judlclous to relate here, led to GER
tain inquiries and the measuring
canvasser stood confessed a man. He
now languishes in Jail.

Baltimore and Ohio railroad, has
drawn on Major Thomas r. Sharp,
late master of transportation on that
road, for $4,000, for the board of
himself and family at the hotels of
the baltimore and Ohio railroad for
four years. Major Sharp resided
with his family during that time
either at the Relay House or at Deer
Park. The same paper says chat he
refused to pay it on the grounds that
he in addition to his duties without
additional compensation, superin-
tended the hotels.

"The almshouse delegation made
their annual visit to Elkton, on Tues

They were met and conducted to the

The first shipment of California sal
mon from Druid Hill Park House
was made Monday night by Mr.. Fer
guson, the Fish Commissioner. Thir-
ty thousand of them were sent by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad as far
as Oakland, Garrett county, from
where they will be taken by wagon
to the waters of the upper Potomac.
Most Of them will be placed in the
river near Fort Pendleton. These
fish were obtained from the lot of
20O,OOO eggs received about October
list. Other shipments will be made

success. Mr.. Ferguson has just
been notified of the shipment of an
other lot of 100000 eggs from Profess
sor Baird's camp, on McCloud river,
in the State of California. These

The man who does not take his
county paper, or who does take it and
does not read the advertisement, can
never be said to be well posted. The
advertisements indicate not only the
business enterprise of the place in
which the paper is published. but the
enterprise of the advertiser. When
you see a man who advertises liber-
ally, you may be sure of finding
good stock in his store, that he keeps
up with the markets, and can all
ways sell little cheaper than his
neighbor who does not advertise.
Like opposition it is the life of trade
and many man in business has
failed from the very neglect of adj
vertising.
