RREVITIES.

II is estimated that twenty millions Of
presbyterians will be represented at the grand
Presbyterian alliance which meets shortly ia
Edinburgh.
The Stanton Vindicqtor says "a remarka-
BILE occurrence took place on Monday on the
farm of DR.. Mason, near Swoope's depot A
deer came down from The mountain TO field
where a mule was grazing and the mule pur
sued and paved it TO death.
Mrs. A. T. Stewart widow Of the million
are merchant Of New York, has made a
princey gift to the Episeonal church of Long
Island. II is to take the form OF cathedral

Island, a see house and chapter house, and q
suitable endowment for the permanent main
tainance. The buildings when completed ae-
cording to the plans agreed upon, will be

The first decision under the new law of Ma
ryland for dogs that kill sheep was made in
the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel county
few weeks since in the appeal case of Owens
vs.. Kelly. The action arose out of the alleged
killing OF Kely's eight sheep by Ovens dogs,
and was tried under the act of 1876, chapter,
3l5, which makes the owner Of the dogs
chargeahle for the sheep killed. The court
below awarded damages to the amount claimed
tunder S50) 10 Kelly, and Owens appealed -
The verdict tho second time was for Kelly,
S32. The new law is general except for four
counties.
The Salisbury Advertiser says; "M.. Ridge
way Ellis, of this county died last week lie
was 50 years old, was twin brother with
Wilmore Ellis, who died one week before
They were so much alike that intimate friends
could not tell them apart. Whenever one
was sick the other was similarly affected, and
though they lived several miles apart, and
each had family, either could always tell by
his own feelings when the other was sick
About six months ago Wilmore lost his appe-
lite, and commenced declining in flesh. His
brother commenced looking badly but kept
going on, but on hearing Of the death Of his
brother, he said be felt the pangs of death,
and in few days was laid in the tomb

"A CARD
june 22tf


A number Of personal and political friends
have expressed to me the desire that would
be candidate from this county, this Fall, for
a scat in the State Senate.
To such kind expressions, my reply has
been, that the people through their represen-
tatives in the recent Democratic and Conser-
vaiiye convention, lin the action of which
had participated, and il the main approyed)
had determined at the primary meetings, to be
held st the time xed by the Executive Demo-
cratic and Conservative Committee of the
county, to vote for and make their own
nominations also stated that if they thought
proper to honor me with the nomination for
the Senate, ! saw no reason why | should
decline it--that very important questions,
touching the finances, honor and dignity of
the State, would be before the next Legisla-
ture, in which ! had had some experience, and
in the just settlement Of which it would be
very agreeable for me 10 participate.
will now add, that il honorei with the
nomination and election, ] will give to the
best interests Of the State, and particularly TO
those of Montgomery county, the same atten-
tion and devotion which my past life, and
the manner in which | discharged former
public trust, affords the best guarantee and
assurance.
