Dreaming UP SUNDAY TREsPAssIyG.-The Bal
timore county police of the Canton district are
taking steps toward breaking up a variety of Sun
day trespassing which prevails in the neighbor-
hood of Willow Grove and other shores in that
locality. The trespassers are generally young
men and boys from the city who 60 down to these
shores in sailboats and skifs, build fires upon the
beach and scour through the neighborhood for
something to cook for their Sunday dinners
Complaints have been received in large numbers
from the farmers in the neighborhood that their
henrOosts and nests have been robbed, their barns
and cellars ransacked and the vegetable gardens
plundered to supply food for these Sunday dinners.
The fires built for cooking purposes have proved
very dangerous, and in several instances after the
trespassers have departed, the embers blown about
and scattered by the wind have set fire to the
woods, jeopardizing property of value. In one
instance a barn was burned down in this way.
The trespassers have been frequently warned to
desist from the practice, and the police have de-
termined that if any of them are hereafter caught
arrests will be made and the proper penalties i'm
pOsed.-SW.

FROM WARREN.-Gardens and Fields Vegeta-
Jles, Crops and Fruits, dc.-The rains, which
have fallen so copiously within the past two weeks,
have given a healthy impetus to all kinds Of veg
citation. The gardens, of which there are a num-
Der lying on the northern part of the village and
on both sides of the county road look very prom
Using and show in their management and cutiya-
ton fine taste for horticulture. The products
chiefly raised consist of onions, cabbage corn, po-
tatoes, &C.. all of which are attended to with the
incest taste and with the most particular care
Corn, which was willing and suffering with drouth,
is again set free and now assumes very promis-
ing aspect. The fields containing this very i'm
portant staple have a very fine appearance, as the
tall stalks majesticaly to the bidding of the
breeze. Early planting is pretty well matured
and where the ground is fertile cannot fail of an
abundant yield.
Small grain is being threshed not with steam,
for that is yet novelty here, but with horse
power. In some localities the yield meets the
fullest expectations in others it falls considerably
short; late sown oats especially, which are COM
paratvely light. Potatoes will be an average
yield, this escuent not being effected by the rava
ages of the destroyer The Early Rose is used here
for general planting, and is found to be the best
and most productive the Snowflake is its equal
in maturing, is of superior whiteness, but not so
delicious in flavor. Peaches are scarce, their rot
ting and drying upon the trees have reduced the
crop to a mere minimum. Apples will be in lin
tied supply. Blackberries have been plentiful
They may justly be called the poor mans friend.
The Katydid, with all its numerous attendants,
is echoing its shrill and plaintiff cries through all
the grove, its ephemeral existence sealed from its
comprehension; pleasure and enjoyment being its
constant and unremitting theme; thus
Insect life how short it is,
How brief must be its stay:
Soon golden wings and gaudy hues
Must die and pass away II.

FROM MONITOR, 10Th DIsTRIcT.-Money Stolen
and Recocered-Born Raising and Narro~ r.
cape.-There was considerable excitement in this
neighborhood last week caused by one OF the cit-
zens being robbed of 800, the circumstances OF
which were as follows: George Curtis started
from home with the intention of paying away
some money, carrying 500 with him. lie stop
ped at Mr.. Almony's tavern where he met TWO
men with whom he was acquainted They com
menced drinking and soon all three became pretty
drunk Curtis, thinking himself unable to take
care of his money, got Mr. Almony to tie it in his
pocket and the three left the tavern in company
and made for hay barrack near by. On reach
ing the barrack Curtis soon fell asleep and on
waking discovered that his money was gone. lie
returned to the tavern, thinking he had left 1t
there, where he found one of the men, who had
been with him, spending money pretty freely. lie
caused his arrest and searching. his pockets
SS3 of the money was found. What TRANSFERRED
after that your correspondent saith not.
On Tuesday of this week Mr.. William Wilson
was engaged in raising the frame of a large barn,
assisted by thirty or forty of his neighbors They
had succeeded in putting up the four sides and
were about getting the long plate in position when
the frame gave way and half of it came down
with q crash, but strange to say no one was hurt
The escape was almost miraculous. Z.
