DEATH OF A WORTHY YOUNG MAN-TRIBUTEs OF

week, after an illness of five weeks and three days.
aged % years and months. This young man
had been employee of the UNION office for up
wards of eight years. having learned his trade with
u.s. and because of his many excellent qualities we
had become greatly attached to him. He was in
deed model young man-strictly honest and up
right, sober, industrious, kind and gentle as a wo
mamie endeared himself to all with whom he
came in contact, and he leaves behind him that
which is better than rches-a good name. Dur
ing all the years he served faithfully never
heard him utter profane word, while his demeanor
towards us ever respectful and we do not re-
member to have ever found it necessary-even
when a mere boy-to reprimand him for any act,
so careful was he to discharge his duties properly
and faithfully He left our Office on Tuesday even
ing, Nov. 18th, complaining Of feeling very unwell,
and at once took to his bed. DR.. Jarrett was
called to see him, and afterwards Prof Butler, of
Baltimore. was called in consultation, but despite
the best medical skill and the careful nursing,
he grew steadily weaker, until death relieved him.
He suffered with severe chills, followed by fever,
and his disease of malarial type, complicated
with other troubles too obscure to be traceabe to
any direct cause.
On Saturday night the Towson Guards, of which
Laurence was a member, held a special meeting to
take some action relative to his death. Corporal
VIM. Grason was called to the chair, and on mo-
ton a committee of three was appointed to draft
resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting
at the loss the company had sustained. The com
mittee appointed by the chair in a few minutes
submitted the following report which was adopted
unanimously:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God, in his
infinite wisdom, to remove from midst our late
comrade in arms, John Laurence Urban; and
Whereas, We the members of the Towson Guards
desire to express our deep sense of the loss we
have sustained therefore be it
Resolred, LIST. That in the death of our late com
rade this company has been deprived of a faithful
and efficient member, who has endeared himself to
us by his quiet and uniform courtesy and his SOL
dierly bearing and conduct.
ID That in common with his family and friends
we mourn his loss as a valuable citizen and an
affectonate brother.
3D. That we tender to his family our sympathy
in their bereavement.
4th. That the members of the company will
wear the usual badge Of mourning for thirty days.
5th. That copy Of these resolutions be spread
upon our records and published in the county pa
pers, and a copy be sent to the family of the de-
ceased.

THE CYLINDER OF CLovER-HULLER EXPLORES
MARROW EscA PE-While the cover-huling ma
chine of Peter Nafznger was at work in the barn
of Isaac Hertzler, near Long Green postoflce, on
Saturday last, it suddenly and without any appar-
ent cause, exploded with terrific force totally
wrecking the machine. The cylinder was of heavy
cast iron, perfectly alright, and the force of the
explosion tore it into hundreds of small pieces
Three men were working about the huller at the
time and strange to say neither of them received
even a scratch. A large piece of the cylinder flew
out Of the barn towards the horsepower frie hten
ing one of the horses so that he few back and fell
between the pair of horses working behind him,
but did not injure himself. Mr.. Nalznger, with
commendable energy, at once ordered new huller
and is again ready for business.

WHAT TRAMP DID.-0n Monday night last
tramp entered the barn of Mrs Eudocia STAINS
bury, on the Hillen road, short distance below
Towsontown, and desiring to make himself COM
Portable the weather being very cold gathered up
a lot of corn cobs and built fire on the floor Of
the stable, in close proximity to a quantity of
straw The manager of the farm. on going to the
barn very early in the morning, discovered the
fire and soon exunguished it. He thinks the
tramp heard him coming and departed hastily
The great wonder is that the barn was not fred,
and the manager thinks that had he not discover
ed the fire when he did the building would most
certainly have been destroyed.

FROZEN TO DEATH.-Early on Sunday morning
last the dead body of a colored man named Thos
johnson, was found in the road near Loeb Raven,
on the works of the permanent water supply
Justice Herbert, of this place, notified and
after summoning jury proceeded to the spot and
held an inquest. DR.. A. W. Carpenter, physician
at the works, made an examination of the body,
and gave it as his opinion that the man came to
his death by exposure while in a state Of intOxi-
cation, and the jury rendered verdict according
ly. Thomas was from the South and had been IN
the employ of Messrs Condor & Co., contractors
who had the body decently inferred at their own

School Orgonized-Sunday Gmners-New Bust
ness Ducking Seoson.-A Sunday
School was organized at Piney Grove church, on
Sunday 18th inst, by Mr. Baker, editor of the
Sunday School Visitor. The congregation was
large and the services were of very interesting
character. Mr.. Il. w. Gale was elected superin-
tendent and Mrs. Thomas Fowler assistant. The
prospects for the success of the school very
cOuraging.
The attention of the county officers is respect
fully called to the many violations of the Sunday
cunning law in this section. At point on Seneca
river the law seems to be entirely disregarded as
the report of guns can be heard there every Sun
day and there is no one to stop and break up the
nuisance, which has become almost unbearable to
the order loving people of the neighborhood. The
persons who shoot at the point indicated had bet
ter remove that "caboose" from the river and by
so doing save themselves trouble.
Mr.. j. A. Sheridan kas opened a country store
at this place and seems to be doing thriving
business. He has fine stock of goods usually
found in such stores, which he sells at city prices
and being clever and obliging gentleman his
success is assured.
We fear the ducking season is about over. Gun
ners have met with good success so far there hav-
ing been about the same number ducks killed as
during last season. r.
