The Bel Air boys and perhaps others,
are in the habit of bathing in Bynum's Run,
at the bridge on the Churchvile road The
place is in full sight Of every one passing
along the road and many complaints are made
about it. The boys should select more re-
tired place in which to indulge in this healthy
and pleasant pastime.

In our report of the proceedings of the
Deer Creek Farmers Club last week, MIR.
E. M. Allen was made to say that he had
cleared II acres of woodland, and sold 81, 900
worth of wheelwright stuff, &c, from it,
The report was not correct, Mr.. Allen sold
$4,000 worth of timber from the land, and it
was i'll 1864 when it was double the price it

Miss A. Waters and Miss r. H. Wetherill
have just completed handsome building on
Main street, nearly opposite THE LBgis office,
where they have opened an excellent assor,-
ment of millinery and fancy goods Their
present location is opposite their old stand
and with increased facilities, we have no
doubt their business popularity will be cor
respondingly increased. We refer our lady
readers to their card in this weeks paper
The new railroed, if made, will pass
through about twenty-five miles of Hartford
county. Assuming that it would directly ben
eft n strip of country miles on each side oft,
it will be seen that 264 square miles of our
county would receive positive and direct adj
vantages from its construction. The area of
Hartford county is 4S0 square miles. Thus
more than one-haf of Hartford county is d.
rectly interested in the enterprise.
MIR. cambridge, an engineer of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, recently passed
over the route of the proposed new narrow
guage railroad, from Towsontown to La
Grange, returning by way of Bel Air, and
obtained specimens of iron ore, asbestos,
chrome, &c, which arc found in large guam
titles along the route. He expressed himself
pleased with the route and thought he cost of
building the road would be no more than the
amount estimated, namely, $4,000 or $12,-
900 per mile.
The case of Capt Galleno, charged with
taking coal from the schooner Gilbert Green,
which was sunk off Bare Point, near Havre
de Grace, last December, has been settled by
compromise. The vessel and cargo was sold
by the insurance agent to Captain John
Poplar, of Havre de Grace, who got from the
wreck as much coal as he could, and then
apparently abandoned her. The accused
subsequently went to the wreck and hauled
up 30 or 40 tons He claimed that the
vessel had been abandoned, and therefore he
had the right to take what he could from
her. Each partyis to pay one-half the costs,
and divide between them the coal or the pro-
ceeds of its SALE
