Mr.. o. P. MacgilI this week shipped four
teen and half barrels of his Chlorine Strontia
water to different points, including Galveston,
Texas, Washington, Pittsburg, Cumberland, AL
legheny City, Baltimore The water is coming
into great demand and it keeps the proprietor
very busy filling orders. In addition to what is
shipped to distant points many gallons are being
sold to persons who 60 to the spring for it.
The Baltimore Ecery Saturday publishes
the names of a number of places which it says are
popular resorts for the people it assigns to each,
viz: Cross-eyed people should go to Cockeysville
Petty thieves to HOokstown Priests to Monk
ton; Equestrians to Riders Switch; Firemen to
Sparks and Episcopalians to Luthervile. Why
it should want Episcopalians to go to Lutherville
we can't see. 1t probably meant Lutherans.
"A little boy, the son of Mrs. John Sifford,
of Frederick, who is encamped at Emory Grove,
was missed after the service ON Tuesday evening
of last week and could not be found. Consider
able excitement was the result and the whole
camp turned out to find the lost boy. The search
continued for several hours and just about the
time the people were ready to give up in despair
the little fellow found soundly sleeping in the
leaves under the fly of his mothers tent.
An old friend of ours from the upper end of
the county, who called to see us Tuesday, says
that he can remember when pheasants were so
plentiful in that section as to do great damage to
fruit trees in the spring by eating the buds, and
birds on one tree at time. Now it is rare &C.
currence to even one of them. The birds were
unfit to eat at that season of the year, the meat
being bitter from the apple buds, and because of
this they were not shot.
