SAD ACCIDENT IN PAPER MILL.-Mr. Earnest
Rampke, a German, employed in one of VIM. H..
Hoffman's paper mills, met a sudden and violent
death on the morning of the 10th inst 1t ap-
pears that he had gone into the basement of the
engine room to lubricate some bearings on a
line of shafting, and whilst thus engaged his
clothing became entangled in some gearing that
was revolving rapidly. He was unable to extri-
cate himself and whilst in this position he was
literally crushed and beaten to death. His lower
extremities were horribly mangled. His comrade,
hearing his shrieks FASTENED to stop the motion of
the machinery but not in time to save the poor
mans life. He had been in the employ of Mr..
Hoffman for over twenty years and was considered
a faithful and honest workman. This is the first
accident resulting fatally, that has ever occurred
in Mr.. Hoffman's mills.

GARDENvILLE ITEMs.-0n Sunday morning last
the members of Gardenville Lodge, No. Ia |. o..
O. F., met at their hall, at Gardenville, according
to previous arrangement in order to attend divine
service at Jerusalem church. A procession was
formed-the members being in regalia--and
marched to the church. The Rev. Mr.. Sigelen
preached a very interesting sermon to large con-
gregation. This Lodge has been attending church
in body for several years.
Mr.. John Fitch lost mare Saturday last that
was a valuable one to him. She was in her 9th
year and had been the mother of several colts
What was most singular she was turned into pas
ture apparently well, when she proceeded to a tree
under which she was foaled, laid down and died.
The fine weather the first of the week has done
much for our late crops and should it contins
will have an abundance of turnips. Celery is now
growing fast and all are busy killing it for bleach
ing. Some gardeners are getting their ground
ready for planting. Lettuce and cabbage plants
are looking well-those that escaped the grass
hoppers.
There was a revival meeting at Andrew chap
ell last week, preaching every night similar
meeting was commenced on Sunday night at Hiss
church, Hartford road, and will be continued two
weeks. MARK A. RANGE.

From ELEVENTH DIsTRICT.-Messrs. Editors -
We have old saying that sit never rains but it
pours." In my last communication to the Union
spoke of the joy the farmers felt, when, after
period of drouth, the much needed rain fell in suf
cient quantity to start not only vegetation but the
plOws, and to give new life to everything apper
tanning to the business. Since that time we have
become painfully conscious that there may be too
much of good thing. Our fields terribly
washed, corn swept away and the precious bone
dust, just deposited with the wheat, washed mer
cilesely toward the river. Of it had been fish
guano it would only be seeking its old hOme.)
great deal of corn was washed from the farm of
Mr. Birch at Herring run, where it is crossed by
the Philadelphia road, and the mill-dam of Mr..
Dieter, who has just put in operation a new -four
mill at the lower site on Little Gunpowder, was
swept away. This must be quite loss to him,
and causes much inconvenience to many of the
Checkers" who must for the present travel much
farther to mill.
We have rumors of the sale of two farms in this
region but do not know how much truth is in
them. One is the very fine farm of Mr.. Samuel
Patterson at the 14-mile stone Philadelphia road.
Could not your 18th district Magistrate be in
duced to move his Office up this way, aoithout the
spiritual accompaniment? Our Sunday forenoons
remind us of lively Christmas-all the gunners
seem to be turned loose. WHITEMARSH.

DIFFICULT SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-Th Refs
terstown Voice of 18th inst. says: "On Wednes-
day of last week DIR. r. j. Henry, of this place.
removed from the eye-lid of Miss Laura Saunders
a large cartilaginous tumor about the size of a
walnut. The large size to which it had grown
made it so heavy upon the eye-lid as to close the
eye almost entirely, and hence the necessity of the
operation. After its removal the lid of the eye
again assumed its natural size and shape, and nc
difficulty is experienced in opening and closing it.
1t has already commenced to heal. DIR. w. III
H. Campbell, of Pleasant Hill, assisted DIR. Henry
in the operation.

HORSE KmLED.-A very fine driving horse be-
longing to D. Hopper Emory, Esq, Of Luther
Vile, was killed by freight train on the N. C.
road on Monday. The horse was running in pas
ture and got on the road through broken place
in the fence. The engineer of the train must
have seen the horse in time to stop because at the
point where he was killed there is straight
stretch of road for upwards of half a mile.

FROM CALvERTON MILLs.-Messrs. Editors -
1t is sometime since last you heard from this Sec
tion and simply because there has little transpred
worthy of note. Everything here seems to be
gliding along satisfactorily, although there are
quite number out of employment. Three mills
out of four are running regularly as the water
will permit, but they but little benefit to the
neighborhOod, as they employ not more thant ten or
twelve men, all told. L hope the time is not far
distant when these mills may be turned into some
other kind of manufactures that would be benefit
to the vicinity. This place must and believe
will, grow rapidly. It's situation is high and is
very healthy. At almost any point we have
beautiful view of portion of the city, beyond
which lies open before the glistening waters of
the Spring Gardens, the harbor and the Bay, as
far as the eye reach, and there some fine
building sites here as there are to be found any
where in "The Belt"
The BALTIC. Calverton & Powhatan railroad, to-
gether with all its equipments, was on Saturday
last sold under the foreclosure of a mortgage, and
was purchased by VIM. p. Webb, James A. Gary
and Edward Freeman for the sum of $4,000
Now we hope as the road has fallen into the hands
of these very enterprising gentlemen, it will be
to suit the convenience of the public general
~ and not for the benefit and cow enience of
few of its patrons. If conducted properly it will,
together with the other inducements, necessarily
cause rapid growth of this its principle section,
as well as all along its line.
"Politcs" is the topic of conversation here, and
we learn that many will vote "spGt' tickets in
November
Revival services are in progress at Summerfeld
NJ E. church, this place, under the supervision of
Rev. Mr. Heyde, the pastor The meeting is young
yet but bids fair to be very successful. b.
