"A local option law, to operate along the
line of the permanent water supply during the
progress Of the work, is talked of. According to
our Judgment very impractical thing, as the la
borers viii be able to procure fire-water from
neighboring hotels and restaurants which will be
found to contain as much fight to the square inch
that at present sold along the line OF the works
There were no bids offered for repairing
the roads in that portion of the 18th district adj
vertiscd by Mr.. Vim. H. Birch. Mr. Alexander
Mccormick, Jr., was awarded the contract for one
year, the amount of work to be done not to OK
coed the appropriation for that portion of the dis
triet. The county road running from the Belair
road past Furley Mill to the Philadelphia road,
was allotted to W. Hatch Birch.
MIR. George Brown died at his residence,
"Stoneleigh," on the York road, short distance
below Towsontown, at o'clock on Wednesday
morning, in the 49th year ofhis age. Mr.. Brown,
who was q son of the late Robert p. Brown, had
been in i'll health for time and his death was
not wholly unexpected. He was aquiet, unobtru-
sive gentleman Of the old school, and leaves
large estate. His remains were inferred at Green
mount Cemetery on Friday afternoon.
Week before last our friend of the journal
boosted of large egg which some one had sent
him. Now VIC don't like to be outdone on things
Of this kind and we determined to beat him if it
took all summer. And we have succeeded. Mr..
Durand Bowen, of Towsontown, left at our Office
Thursday a hen egg measuring inches the
long way and II inches the other, and weighing
three and a-half ounces. The Journals produce
ton is wren's egg compared to this one.
The Baltimore Bee has something in its
columns of recent date about the Permanent Wa
ter Supply giving description of the works,
the manner in which the laborers live, &c. This
is all very WELL but when we read in said account
that this work Commences at the head Of the
Gunpowder river, about two miles north of Tow
sontown, on the York turnpike" we are ratherin
clined to smile a sickly smile and wonder who has
been imposing on the credulity of the Bee man.
The head of the Gunpowder Is in Adams county,
Pa, many miles from Towsontewn, and not near
the York turnpike The same paper also says
"the works are over thirteen miles in length"
This is news to us, too. Race the number Of
miles about one-half and you'll have come nearer
the mark.

WooDBERRY NorEs.-We are having our usual
March squalls. Owing to the weather, outdoor
work has been checked but we hope in few
days to see everything moving along as usual. 1t
has not however, effected the mills and machine
shops which running constantly. New orders
are being received at Messrs. Poole Hunts al
must every day. 1t is understood that they have
two engines, of considerable size, to build, and
that additional mechanics will be employed.
Mention was made some time ago of the fact
that the sites for several cottage houses were
lected on Rowland avenue. We are happy to an
nounce that Mr.. Robt. L. Brooks, who contracted
to dig the foundations, began the work last week.
These arc to be very neat houses, and will add
much to the beauty and attractiveness of that ave.
nue..
Mr.. John W. Upton, who contracted to widen
and grade the county road leading from Cross
Keys to Melvale, commenced work two or three
weeks ago. 1t is not yet completed, but presents
o more respectable appearance than before. The
road heretofore has been too narrow for wagons
to pass.
The Home Missionary Society Of Clipper NJ. Z.
church, held its regular monthly meeting on last
Sunday afternoon. An interesting programme of
singing, addresses &C., had been prepared for the
occasion. Mr.. Mettee, of Baltimore, made an ap
propriate and pleasing address. As new organ
has been purchased for the largo school-room, the
old one which is still in good preservation, has
been put into the infant room, and Miss Ida
Brooks appointed organist.
On Wednesday evening last the scholars and
friends of the Woodbury. NJ. E. Sunday school
were highly entertained with q free stereoptican
exhibition, the instrument and views having been
presented by Mr.. James E. Hooper, and under the
management of Mr.. Skillman, of Baltimore. The
lecture-room was filled to its utmost capacity and
sill enjoyed themselves.
At the M. E. Conference, which held its session
in Frederick, Nd, the Rev. Joel Brown was re-
turned to the Woodberry church. Mr.. Brown now
enters upon his third year with US, and feel that
l express the sentiment of the people, when say
that he is not only intelligent and efficient
preacher, but kind pastor, visiting from house
to house. Nor does he confne his visits to the
rich or well-to-do classes. All through the long
and severe winter which has passed he was among
the poor and destitute, administering to their tenn
poral as well as spiritual wants. Success to our
pastor. II.

A BRAVE MAN.-The following incident is re-
ported by the Sun as having occurred in the tun-
mel for the permanent water supply, at point un-
der the Hartford road 'The work was in quick
sand, about o'clock in the morning. Joseph
Metheral was caught by the sand and water. His
feet were glued fast, and the slowly rising mass
closed around his knees, his thighs and body, and
it seemed inevitable that he would have been over
whelmed. The seven or eight comrades of the
victim of the quicksand abandoned him, butsome
of them returned. Metheral was then fighting
the sand and water with his hands, but he cool
and collected in the face of imminent death. Be-
ing an experienced miner, he ordered the laborers
who had returned to his aid not to dig in to him,
as that would only insure more of the treacherOus
quioksand crowding in about him. He was ready
with the only expedient which could secure his
release, and directed the workmen to drive sheep
piling around him. They procured boards, with
one end sharpened, and obeyed his directions,
which he gave Gil the while fighting the quicksand
with his hands, to keep it from rising over his
head and smothering him. The result was that
when the sheep piling was completed it was a bull
wark from encroachments by the sand and water,
and he was leisurely dug out. That mans cool
ness and experience saved his life. His comrades
who ran away never come back"

WOODSTOCK ITENs.-The County Commissioners
of Baltimore county are having bridge erected
across Prices Run, near Marcella Chapel, on the
road leading to Randalstown, which will be eight
feet above water and seventy feet in length. Mr..
VIM. Kinney is doing the work for the Commits
sioners. The same Commissioners would receive
the thanks of the public if they would make a
passable road between Woodstock and Granite.
At present it is in very bad condition and needs
repairing sadly.
Two lamp explosions occurred at Granite during
the past week, both however, without doing any
damage. In ono case the lamp was broken SO
badly that piece the size of a nickel could not
be found. Nearly every one in that section now
use "dips."
Mr.. John Evans has new house in the course
of construction on his lot near the Presbyterian
church, which when completed will be rented
There is considerable demand in this section for
houses. Mr.. VIM. F. Weller will soon begin the
erection of several.

two calves last week. Both arc living and prom

The North Carolina rebels always were re-
markable for their outspoken candor. They
have faithful and plain dealing organ in the
Raleigh News. Commenting upon the evol-
vement of new and gushful fraternity under
the ministrations and irrigations of our cold
water President, that paper says:
If Mr.. Hayes inaugurated his Southern
policy for the purpose of dividing the solid
South he must have learned ere this that it is
a failure The South, rid of the carpet bag
ger and the federal soldiers on police duty,
will be more united than ever in opposition
to the republican party. The only political
effect SO far of the Southern policy, is the
splitting of the republican party North into
two irreconcilable factions, and we already
have, as a result of this division, the assur
ance of grand democratic victory in 1880 if
we will hold united front to the enemy from
this ON. Ambitious schemers, Independent
fellows, men who care not from what quarter
of the political heavens the mamma of office
cometh so it comes, will endeavor to create
dissensions among us, but the people will not

THE ELECTION.

The Town Election was an exemplihcation
of what we may expect whenever that highly
moral condition, dreamed of by the more re-
spectacle class, comes upon those who par
ticipate in politics. As many as one man III
ten, perhaps Ito make an extravagant estl-
mate), knew where the polls were. The sa-
looms being closed, there was an appearance
of funereal decency gratifying to all true
iaourners. The voters, avoiding all trivial or
unserious appearances, went slngly and IN
respectful silence to the ballot box and there,
with becoming noiselessness, performed their
painful duty. When the wicked ward poll
tician and the machine operator shall cease
from troubling and all schemes are suppressed,
then, even when we are obliged to meet the
emergency of general election, we can profit
ourselves by the experiences of yesterday and
know how sweet are the uses of temperance,
moral virtue and the era of good feeling. We
are fast triuinphing Ger the wicked. The
result of yesterdays voting was very scatter
ing, but quite conclusive. In the First Ward
the following was the result For Trustee at
Large-Rice, 90; Bowker, 4; Gibson, u;
Parkinson, l. For Trustee-Dunning, los;
Parkinson, 1; Gibson, 5. In the Second
Ward the vote stood as follows: Trustee at
Large-Rice, 81; Bowker, 81; Gibson, l.
Trustee-Bender, 60; Dow, 40, This shows
a total of 2O6 votes, and the election of Rice,
for Trustee at Large, and Dunuing Trustee

its neighbors of the Shoshone tribe, in the
following:
The Indian counting season will open in
about ten days, so we are informed by Cap
tain Sam, an Indian high in the councils of
the Piute Nation. The Indians will then
break up their camps near the towns and
take to the hills, where they will remain
encamped till after the Spring fandango.
This counting season-which is the best name
we can find for it's the principal holiday of
the Indians, and while it lasts no money or
persuasion will induce an Indian, male of
female, to perform labor.
