FRIENDS MEETING.
The Orthodox Friends held their Quarterly
Meeting at this place on the 10Th and 17h
inst. The attendance was large, including
Friends from distance more persons being
present than could obtain seats, and many
had to stand up in the aisle. Brief but inter

Talbot and others.

HARVEST.
Many farmers are done cutting their ear
lY hay and are now engaged in harvesting
wheat, There is certainly more than an av-
erage yield this year. The heads of wheat
are large, and the grain full and plump. Oats
look well and promise n heavy yield. Puta-
toes are flourishing, and there is no complaint
ofthc Colorado beetle. Corn, however, looks
badly, for this season of the year.
THE ANTI-TREATING SOCIETY.
Our ncwly-organized society," called "rhe
American Anti-Treating Society, Of Darling,
ton," is on the increase. At the last meeting
n number of new names were enrolled 1t is
certainly good thing, and we would like to
hear of similar societies being organized in
other parts of our county. The Secretary
will be pleased TO give any information con,
corning it TO all who may apply.

knife from the table as he ran. Coming up
with MIR. Street, at the edge of the porch, he
stabbed him in the back, inflicting wound
which may prove fatal. The knife penetrated
the pleural cavity, just under the left scapula,
between the sixth and seventh ribs. Dr.,
M. h. Jarrett is in attendance upon the
wounded man, whose condition is yet consid-
cred critical.
Miller left home Immediately after the stab,
bling, but was pursued and arrested by citizens
headed by Mr.. VIM. Carroll He was taken
before Justice Arthur, who committed him to
Jail, where he now is, awaiting the result of
Mr. Streets injury. Mr.. Street, is quiet,
inoffensive man, and has the sympathy

DEATH OF MAYOR KANE.-Col George p.
Kane, mayor of Baltimore city, passed quiet
ly away, in the presence of his family, early
Sunday morning, June 23d, in the 59th year
of his age, of Bright's disease. Col. Kane
was Il native of Baltimore city, and was at
one time prominent merchant. From early
manhood took an active part in public affairs
and was collector of the port Of Baltimore
under President Fillmore, in 1850 In 1856
he was appointed marshal of police, which
position he held at the beginning of the war.
AT the head of his policemen he exerled HIM
self iearlessly to preserve the peace, on the
10Th of April, 1861, during the passage of the
Sixth Massachusetts regiment through the
city. His conduct on this occasion was
severely criticised by Northern journals but
he has been indicated, not only by
impartial eye witnesses, but also by the COL
onel in command of the unfortunate regi-
ment. He was arrested and confined for a
time in Fort McIIenry, in 1861, and uron his
release went South, where he remained until
the close of the war. Subsequently he en-
gagged in the tobacco manufacturing business
at Danville, Va, and afterwards returned
home and became the agent of q London fire
insurance company He was elected Sheriff
of Baltimore in 1878, and in 1877 was elected
Mayor.
Col. Kane was man of Spartan firmness
of character and Of incorruptible integrity,
united to great kindness of heart. He was
one of the few men the people were willing
TO trust, and to his credit be it said, he never
betrayed trust contided TO him. His death
is therefore public calamity He leaves q
wife but no children
The funeral of Col. Kane took place on
Tuesday, his remains being buried at Bonnie
Brae, the new Catholic cemetery, near Balti-
more.

People generally desire long life and good
health. Sickness and premature death are al
most always due TO violations of the laws that
govern our physical being, and of which the
masses are ignorant. If men knew better they
would do better; but how can they avoid an
evil that they know not of? While efforts are
made through the public schools to give each
child aso-callcd common English education, vet
the children are permitted togrow up and enter
upon the responsible duties of active life, pro-
fOundly ignorant of the structure of their own
bodies, and the laws of physical being upon
which their health and lives depend. They are
sent 10 school and crammcd with arithmetic,
grammar, and geography by teachers who, in
many instances have never studied physiology
aud hygiene. They are taught to locate the
mountains and trace the rivers of foreign coun-
tries, but are never taught to locate Tie vital
organs and glands of their own bodies, or trace
the veins, arteries, and nerves, in their various
ramitications. They are instructed in the flow
of the tides, and the course of the ocean cur
rents, and the philosophy of winds and storms;
but they have no correct conception Of the relu-
tive effects upon their health of breathing pure
or impure air, nor has their attention ever been
called to the Importance of keeping their bodies
clean and healthy by regular breathing. The
criminolity of such neglect in teaching becomes
apparent when we consider that the masses TO-
norantly violating the laws of health, bring
upon themselves sickness, suffering and death,
that might otherwise beayoided In this condi-
ton of things we welcome into being any work
that is calculated to impart TO the masses q
knowledge of the structure of their own bodies,
the laws of health, and the Importance of OBJ
serving those laws We find DR.. Pierce's Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser 10 be just such a
work. 1t is physiologicaland pathological, and
the major part Of it should be converted into a
textbook for the use of common schools. Its
careful study will enable the healthy to preserve
their health, and the sickly to regain health
Every parent should read it, and as their chill.
dren become Of proper age instruct them in the
all-important truths it contains. Were this
done, much suffering and premature death would
be prevented, and many youth saved from
life of shame and liccntiousness. The book con-
tains nearly one thousand pages, is profuscly H.

ings, and can be had by addressing II. V. Pierce,

If the news from Berlin may be relied
upon as true, Russia has been compelled to
make important concessions and to retire
from the positions she gained by her war
with Turkey. 1t is said that the passes of
the Balkans are to be again garrisoned by the
Turkish troops, and guarantees are to exact
ed from Russia which will materially change
the attitude she has for hundred years past
borne towards Turkey. The latter power
will therefore be granted new lease of life,
which will last as long as it is to the interest
of England and Austria to nterposc in her
behalf.

FINE OATs.-Some remarkably fine spec.
mems of oats have been received One is a
bunch of stalks, from Mr. John Mitchell, on
Mount Felix farm, near Havre de Grace
They measure nearly six feet in length, and
some of the heads are 13 inches long
Mr.. Mitchell calls them the Mountain Eccle
STA" The seed was obtained two years ago
from the Agricultural Department, at Wash.
ington. The oats weigh from 80 to Al lbs.
to the bushel, the product being As bushels
to the acre. AT the standard rate, SO lbs. to
the bushel, this would make yield of nearly
60 bushels per acre. The stalk is unusually
thick and strong and Mr.. Mitchell saws this
variety is not liable to be thrown down.
They are uniform in size throughout the
field.
Mr.. j. S. Richardson has also sent to our
office specimen stalks of oats taken from his
field near Bel Air. They measure G feet 5
inches long, and are as thick and strong as
those above noted. The blades of both the
above specimens are more than an inch broad,
and the stalks resemble COIN. They would
make good fishing-rods when dry, or might
be used for walking-canes They may be
seen at our office.
Some stalks of oats from MIR. John
Moores' farm, Highlands" are 5 feet 10
inches in length and are finely headed.

CLOSE OF THE LEvY.-The County Com
missioners have closed the levy for county
expenses during the past fiscal year, and in
a short time tie detailed statement Will be
published, The amount levied will be great
er than last year, owing to the fact that the
extraordinary freshets last fall involved the
expenditure of at least $4,000 for repairs of
roads and bridges. They determined to levy
13l cents on the 800 for the use of public
schools, in addition to SO 900 levied to pay the
portion of the school debt due April 1st, 1879.
Last year the appropriation for the county
schools was IL cents on the $780, The addi-
tional amount now appropriated is for the
purpose ofenabling the School Commissioners
to build several new school houses, at points
where they are absolutely needed.
The law now requires jurors and witnesses
to be paid at the end of each term of court.
The Commissioners have therefore been
obliged to levy in advance about $4,000 for
this purpose. Altogether, the County Com
missioners have had to levy nearly $4,000
over and above the amount usually required
for county expenses.
