One night last week a citizen of the 18th
district. who is blessed with nine children, con-
ceived the brilliant idea of taking them all in one
wagon load to sciopteOn entertainment at Rech-
ebite Hall. He loaded them in and started for his
destination. On his arrival at the hall he did not
notice that one of the youngsters was missing and
not until Mr. A. w. Hicks, agent at Stemmers
Rum found the child in the road unconscious and
returned it to its parents did the father know
that he was one short. He intends hereafter to
keep roll book and regularly call over the list to
see that none missing.

We commend the following to the earnest
consideration of our readers: "Never use Young
Iady's name in improper place, or in mixed
company. Never make assertions about her ihat
you think TO be untrue, or illusions that she her
self would blush TO hear. Where yon meet witt
men who do not scruple TO use WomdD's name
in 4 reckless manner shuu them. They are The
worst members of the community; men lost TO
every sense of honor; every feeling OF bumanity.
Many a good and worthy wOman's character bas
been forever ruined and heat broken by lie
manufactured by some villian, and repeGied when
It should not have been, and in The presence of
those whose little judgment could not Geier them
from circulating the foul and Dragging report"
Never IN our experience of travelling The
York turnpike between Towsontown and Balti
more has The ~oad been in as bad condition as it
Is to-day. 1t was Once-and not very long
time ago-a common remark that iae York turn
pike was The best road out of Baltimore. Not so
now, any of the othe' turnpikea being superior 10
il as driving roads. Even the Hartford road
against which many complaints have been
made 10 the psst-is Tar better than our road,
which is almost succession ofchucL' and gullies
for tLe seven miles, and moi only so with refer
ence to the sideroads, but tie pike Itself is so Gn-
even as 20 make riding over ii anything but
pleasure. Now. we would ike 20 know The reason
FOR this. There is no decrease in The travel over
the road, and the tolls, which have always been
high have not been lessened. Why is il, then.
that the road is not IN better condition Perhaps
the officers answer.
