Phantom Ball.-on Thursday night

Phantom Ball.-On Thursday night of
last week the young people OF Rockville en-
joyed Phantom Ball at the residence Of Mrs.
J. G. Bays. The affair was Il novelty in the
rounds Of our amusements, and was entered
into with that zest, usual 10 novelties, which
made it a most perfect success. The partici-
pants we're dressed in the traditional costumes
of ghosts-sheets and hideous white faces; and
as the weird group performed the dance to
slow music without a word between partners,
it was natural for the timorous spectator
to feel awed and stare with eyes and mouth
wide open. Several amusing mistakes were
made, for it was quite difficult to distinguish
bet Heeu ghosts and ''ghostesses. "Lovers got
mixed and the consequences were quite fearful.
Supper was hailed with delight and the
able grooming under dainties aud rich flowers,
caused many face TO lighs up with smile,
not at all spectral, but exceedingly "child-
ake and bland" Mrs. Bays and the ladies
who assisted her deserve vote of thanks for
the happy manner in which they ATTENDED to
this important part Of the entertainment
We are sorry that we cannot for want Of
space mention the names of the beautiful
bellies who graced the occasion, but we can
say with pride and pleasure that we never saw
our young ladies appear more beautiful and
more interesting than on this occasion. There
were many ladies present from Washington
who, by means Of their many charms, contrib
utad iarualv IN t,a reanara1 f,lo,eura
After the party unmasked they appeared
upon the scene as mortnls, and prolonged the
dance until late in the night, when they de-
parted for their homes to dream of spirits and
think aud sleep off the fatigue consequent
upon such heightened pleasure.

LOCAL AFFAIRS
To the Citizens of Montgomery County,

Hoping to render crime 70 less criminal, but
to bring ont as fully as we may the distinctive
features of that Mercy, which is by no means
strained, in vindication of the honor of our
selves, as Marylanders, under the startling
facts brought to light in regard TO the treat
ment of the inmates of the Poor Houses and
County Jails of our State, by the report of
DR.. Chancellor, we beg leave to coll out such
action on the part of our county as shall clear
our skirts Of any blame in the premises.
We therefore suggest the meeting of our
citizens in Rockville, the 18th day of October,
at l / o'clock. A. NJ, that such an organiza-
ton may be formed as will enable us to feel
we have done our part in this blessed work Of
relief of suffering before the severe winter
comes on.

Agricultural Fairs. The Frederick
County Agricultural Society holds its exhibit
lion on the 9th instant, aud continues for four
days. Attractions are had at these grounds
TO please the eye of all We are informed
by the managers that from present Indications
the Fair will far excel any that the society has
ever held. President Hayes and cabinet will
be in attendance on Thursday, the third day
Montgomery conDy's usual large representa- la
ton will be there to add to the concourse of
people.
The Loudoun County Society holds its
seventeen annual exhibition at Leesburg, be-
ginning on the 10th instant and continuing
10 the 18th inclusive. This society has here
tofore bad, as she will doubtless have this
time, stock and articles on exhibition that
would compare with those of any other
society. Many objects of interest will be upon
the grounds to attract besides the fast and
closely contested racing
With the wish that these two societies may
be favored with weather more suspicious than
Montgomery had for her exhibition, we ten
der them our thanks for complimentaries.

SUIKIxAs is described by correspondent of the London Times as most unosientat- ious and reserved man. His tent consist of a simple piece of canvas stretched across two sticks, under which he crswls at night and sleeps on the ground, and, being once in. leaves no room to spare for ashake-down for anybody else. Guards, sentries, order lies and all the pomp and circumstance TO mili- tary rank are dispensed with, and his two or three sides-de-camp bivouac in like style near him. His two horses are pickrted in front of his tent. with their saddles on their hacks, and take their chance of forage with the rest of the army. He is man of about forty to forty five, tall and strongly built, with a rough, weather-beaten face, a fore head very much wrinkled and short red beard and moustache. In detail and in mat ters of organization he seems to have great readiness, quick perception of what Is necessary as to provisioning, forwarding ammunition, or any other administrative part of the generalship, while at the same time he appears to have the intutive quali- ties of born commander. which enable him to carry out \ plan rapidly and successfully without going through any one of the ac cepted and roundabout methods of modern " arfare

A NEW WAY OF RAISING THE WIND

A NEW WAY OF RAISING THE WIND Two gamblers were in Lesvenworth, Kan sas, several years ago, with abont $50 in their pockets. They desired to get money enough to go to California. They went to separate hotels. One registered as phy- sician and advertised remedy for cholera The other put up large quantity of yeast powers into sample packages, with little croton oil in each, and hired \. boy to dis tribute them. Soon, family after family, affected by the croton oil, felt what they be lieved were symptoms of cholera. The sale of the cholera remedy was enormous, and the gamblers were enabled to go to Cali fornia.

Ordinarily cows of small breeds yield more butter than those of larger breeds, and the smaller individuals of particular breed give richer milk than the large specimens of the same breed. The large animals and breeds, however, produce more cheese A comparatively dry and warm climate is favorable to the production of butter, and s cool, moist region to cheese. The evenings milk of COW Is preferable for cheese; the mornings milk for butter, particularly if the animal is stabbed or kept in the yard.
