THE STARRY HEAVENS.


1t Is not often that we have such q grand dis
play of heavenly beauties rs at present. just af
ter dark we can see Venus, the queen of beauty
in the west, shining in glorious splcndor, and in
the southwest bright Jupiter is shedding his
silvery rays in transcendent beauty, whilst hang
ing in the orient is red, fiery Mars, shining with
greater brilliancy than he has for many years,
accompanied by pale Saturn as convoy. We
but seldom see these four planets at the same
time, but now they are most glorious TO behold,
and they, together with the thousands of bright
twinkling stars that beautify the heavens, ST.
lently proclaim that jehovah, the Great Archi-
tect, is their maker.
EPISCOPAL SERVICE.
On last Saturday week Rev. E. A. Colburn
held divine service at Deer Park School House.
The sacred rite of baptism was administered by
the worthy pastor to five persons, and after
wards he preached an eloquent sermon which
was listened to with delight by a large audience.
All the persons baptized are connected with the
Deer Park Union Sunday School.
SICKNESS.
We have q great deal of sickness in our dis
trct at present. APPROXIMATIONS fever and
other diseases prevail, and several cases have
proved fatal.
THE WEATHER.
The weather at present is more like Summer
than Autumn. Fruit trees are blooming in
some places. cherry tree at Isaac Dicks has
full crop ofblossoms on it and looks as if we
had drifted back into fowery May.
FARMING.
Our farmers have cut their crop of corn and
the yield will be above the average. The quail
ty is excellent. A large acreage has been sown
in wheat. Potatoes are abundant and of fine
quality. In short, the farmer has everything to
be thankful for, and nothing that he ought to
grumble at
MARE SHOT.
About two weeks ago a valuable mare belong
ing to Mrs. Laura G. Ady, was shot in her own
pasture field and died shortly afterwards. The
person who did the shooting is unknown, and
no cause for the deed can be imagined.

SMITHSON.-Fallen asleep in the morn
ing of his youth, WILLIAM T. second son
of the late William Smithson, in the ED year
of his age.
He was born and reared in Hartford county,
but for the past four years was resident OF
Palmyra, Mo. He made manifest long ere he
died that he knew he had no continuing city
here" and that he had long entertained the full
hope of going to the "beautiful prepared city
on high" We have lost, we know, most dear
greved when loved one is by an angel borne to
his home eternal on pinions white. We cannot
all start conveniently together. Those that
have gone before us are far better prepared than
we. Then why should we repne to know that
his chair was ready first, and that he has gone
only little while before. l..

SENATOR WHITE ON THE POLITICAL
SITUATIoN.-A large and enthusiastic Demo
cratic mass meeting was held at Maryland
Institute, Baltimore, ON Thursday night of
last week, at which addresses were made by
Senator VIM. Pinkney Whyte, Ex-Gov.
Philip Francis Thomas, Col. L. Victor
Baughman and Hon. Barnes Compton, State
Treasurer.
Mr.. Whyte said the present "hard times"
was due to the recklessness and extravaganza
of the Republican administration during six
teen years of their control of public affairs.
At the close of the war the public debt was
$4,000 100000 and in the eleven years sue
ceeding $4,400,000,000 had been extracted
from the people by taxation, and yet after
its absorption in the treasury the debt remain.
ed S2200,000,000. The unlimited issue of
paper money, the enormous debts created by
its use at shocking sacrifices, the decision OF
the Supreme Court in making 1t legal ten
der, the wasteful spirit of the shoddy c0ntrac-
tors had produced in the minds of the people
moral intOXication, and until they got off
this Republican drunk, and went back to the
old and simple ways of Democratic living,
there was no hope for the country. We
must resume specie payments; we must re-
trace our steps from protective tariff to one
for revenue only; we must abolish useless
offices; we must cut down salaries; we must
deny ourselves luxuries, and we must live
again in republican simplicity We must in
culcate Democratic principles
After referring 10 the Electoral hill and his
own opposition to it, and condcmning its re-
suit, Senator Whyte said:
"The defeated candidate of the Republican
party has become, mot from necessity, not to
fulfill II bargain, but from sense of duty
these are the words-thc instrument to work

Cancellation at the South, home rule, and

The question has often been asked by those
interested, "Can have my gray hair restored
to its natural color, without coloring the skin :?
and can my thin locks be thickencd up?" We
answer, I" 1t AM" and would advise you to
read treatise on the hair, which is published
by r. P. Hall IL Co., Nashua, N. H., who send
it free, upon application. They are the propre-
tors of Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair Remover
We learn from it, the hair, in perfect state of
health, is constantly falling out, and new hairs
grow from the same tube but, in case of any
disease of the scalp, or by the use of alcoholic
preparations, the hair tubes becomes contracted
at its mouth, and prevents the new follcle from
reaching the surface. Their preparation will
create perfectly healthy condition of the scalp,
and, by its tonic properties, will preserve and
strengthen the roots of the hair.

THE BUELL. FAMILY.
The Buell. Family, of Westminster, Md,
gave one of their grand concerts at the M. E.
Church South, at this place, on Wednesday
evening of last week. There was q very
good attendance, and the concert far surpass-
ed our expectations. Heretofore Mr.. Buell.
has only had four of his children with him {;
but at the concert given here he also had his
youngest daughter, Flora, Il sweet singer of
twelve summers. Mr.. Buell. and his family
are certainly serving the church, for the
small compensation he receives for their Ia
bors does not pay him. No one can hear this
wonderful family sing without being benefit
ted thereby. We look upon him as the second
p. p. Bliss, who so lately met his sad death
by railroad disaster in Ohio, and who was
familiarity known as the "sweet singer"

THE INDICTMENT OF MARYLAND JUDGES.
The grand jury of Baltimore county last
week found true bills of indictment against
Judges Grason and Yellott for misbehavior
in office, and also n presentment against
Judge Yellott for drunkenness. The present.
ment upon which the indictments were
found by the grand jury at the May term, of
which Gen. John S. Berry was foreman, and
were followed by charges of perjury against
Gen. Berry by Judge elliott, which charges,
it is learned, the present grand jury have dis
missed. The constitution of Maryland pro-
vdes (section A. that "any judge shall be
removed from office by the Governor on con.
vction, in court of law, of incompetence,
of wllful neglect of duty, misbehavior In
office, or any other crime, or on impeachment,
according to this constitution or the laws of
Maryland OF on the address of the General
Assembly, two-thrds of each house concur
ring in such address, and the accused having
been notified of the charges against him and
having had opportunity Of making his de-
fense" The action taken by the grand jury
at Towsontown presents grave spectacle
before the community, and is such as must
now necessarily require the most serious
judicial consideration.

TEXAS CATTLE FEvER.--A number of cat
tie belonging to farmers in the neighborhood
of Deer Creek have died within the past
week from Texas cattle fever taken, it is
supposed, from contact with Texas cattle on
the cars. Mcssrs George Glasgow, George
Lochary, Thomas Lochary, James Lee and
Judge Stump have each lost one or more
from lots recently bought from drovers. The
disease is in nearly every case fatal, but it
can not be communicated from our native
cattle to each other, but can only be taken
from the Texas cattle Although the latter
can communicate the fever to native cattle,
they do not appear to suffer from it themselves
Cattle will take it from merely passing along
road over which a drove of Texas cattle
have been driven, or from being placed in
cars in which the Texans were previously
carried. The two kinds of cattle may, how
ever, be kept in adjoining fields, and as long
as they are kept apart by fence the native
cattle will not take the disease. The dis
eased animals are always infested with large
ticks similar to those found upon the Texas
cattle, but what connection, if any, there is
between the ticks and the fever does not APP
pear to be known.

THROWN OVER A BRIDGE AND DROWNED.
On Wednesday of last week a colored boy
named Stephen Chew, in the employ Of j.
NJ. Allen, at Stafford Mills, was drowned by
being pushed overheard by yoke of oxen he
was driving over narrow bridge across the
canal, at the upper mouth Deer Creek. The
oxen were young and one of them becoming
unruly pressed against its companion, pushing
it and the boy with it, over the side of the
bridge into the water. Some workmen who
were near by ran to the spot, and busted them
selves in rcscuing the OK, but forgot all about
the boy Mr.. Allen arrived Mt the scene of
the accident shortly afterwards and enquirci
for the boy, but ho had not been seen. A
boat hook was procured, and after short
search the boys body was found AMI dragged
from the water. Every effort was made to
ro9tore him to consciousness, but without
effect. 1t is supposed he could not swim and
was drowned at once

Senator Conkiing has drawn his sword
upon President Hayess civil service rules
and Southern policy, and thrown away the
scabbard The Republican convention of
New York, which met last week, was entire.
ly under his control and direction. The
platform adopted is a d Get blow at Pres-
dent Hayes's civil service rules, asserting
that the exclusion of office,holders from po-
lticai action would dsfranchise great
body of citizens. On the question of the
Presidents Southern policy the platform is
non committal. Having thus thrown the
gage Of battle, it remains to be seen how
great portion of the dsaffected element in
the Republican party can be rallied around
the standard of the New York chieftain; or
in other words, when Congress meets we
shall see whether the tail will wag the dog

Coon WRITING MADE EAsY.-Mr. James
A. Congdon, Professor of Penmanship, has
been teaching class in writing, this week,
in Bel Air. Although at first somewhat in
credulous as to his ability to carry out his
promise TO teach ordinary pupils to write q
smooth, regular and beautiful hand in q
course of six lessons of two and a-half hours
each, a personal inspection of the improve
ment made by his pupils during that time
has convinced us that he can do all that he
promises. The improvement was of course
more marked and decided with those unac-
customed to using a pen, but every one of
his pupils have made the most wonderful
progress His class has been small and it is
to be regretted that greater number have
not availed themselves of the opportunity
presented to acquire the art of penmanship
from master. Professor Congdon's testi-
monials are of the highest character, and
from its results we can commend his system
ofteaching.

FORTY DOLLARS AND A TRUNK-Spottcd
Tail, Red Cloud and other Indian chiefs COM
posing the delegation visiting Washington
had their final pow-wow with their Great
Father, President Hayes, on Monday. They
told him they wanted to live like the white
people, and in proof of it had lad aside their
feathers, blankets, &c, washed off the war
paint, and were dressed in citizens clothes
They also said they wanted a saw and grist
mill, wagons, agricultural Implements, five or
six stores, because they then could buy
cheaper at one than they could at another"
Also English teachers, and Catholic priest,
They wanted CATTLE too, and their heads
were remarkably level on this point. They
did not want the "long-horned fellows" but
short-horns They asked also for $40 apiece
to buy presents for their dusky mates and the
little redskins at home, and trunk apiece to
carry their clothing in. AS the weather would
soon grow cold, and they were determined to
live like white folks, each one wanted an over
coat also The President assured them that
their requests would be granted, if possible.
Spotted Tail and Red Cloud in ulster over
coats hunting the buffalo on the plains would
be rare sight indeed.
