The ANNUAL MEETING AND FARMERS Picnic
of the Baltimore County Grange, to be held in
Ridgely's grove, neaF LuthervilIokives promise,
it is said, OF being larger and more enthusiastic
gathering OF agriculturists than even the success
full one of last year. The idea of show for the
day fine live stock implements, articles of ladies'
handiwork, superior specimens of fruits, yegeta-
bles and cereals, seems to be received with marks
of great appreciation, and it is believed that very
extensive display will be made of articles in these
several departments to which contributions are
solicited from the farmers, gardeners and fair
hOusekeepers OF the county, whether they are con-
nected with the Grange organization or not. The
interest which will arise from the examination of
deposits and the opportunity for comparing the
successes obtained by the growers of fine products
or the breeders of animals of unusual excellence,
cannot but have stimulating influence upon all
and crafty at the same time the pride of those
whose skill is pronounced distinguished in the
several classes. Of domestic products, such as
homemade wines, jellies preserves, pickles, &C.,
and of articles Of household art, needework, &C.,
q large and excellent display is anticipated.
The grounds are admirably adapted to the
meeting and win be put in excellent order. The
several committees a.e busily at work.

tees appointed to take charge.of the several de-

JSs>The trouble with the National party seems
to be that there too many patriots in its ranks
who are willing, and even anxious, to serve their
country in the way of Otficeholding. In cOnse-
quence of this superabundance of zeal and self
sacrifice the conventions of the Nationals dis
tinguished by an amount of contention which is a
great hindrance to development, and does not
promise anything well for the future. We know
how it was in Philadelphia, andiat Syracuse last
week it was even worse. There was scarcely any
thing like harmony concerted action. 1t was
every man for himself, ahd what became of the
hindmost no one cared. In little things as in
great, the same lack of discipline and hOmOgeni-
ETY. is apparent. The Nationals had county con-
venton at Pottsville last night to nominate Con
gresham and local officers, but that convention,
like other conventions of the same persuasion,
found nominating the hardest kind of work. So
bitterly the fight of the candidates contested
that so far as the Congressman was concerned the
meeting was obliged to take a rest, and adjourned
accordingly. 1t is this lack of party discipline
that prevents the Nationals from becoming for
midable. In political campaign as in a militia
ry one, discipline, with the subordinatiOn of the
individual to the general which it implies, is the
one thing needfu and the party whose members
are pulling all a different way stands but poor
chance of winning the fight.-Phla. Inquirer.

WATERING MLK.-The Utica IN. W Herald
tells of two parties who were recently detected
watering milk at cheese factory near that city.
One person was fined 500 under a State statute.
The other is a rich farmer named Weiser. 1t
seemed the suspicion that watering was being car
ried ON was aroused, and the owner of the factory
tested the milk % times with lactOmeter and in
every instance it from 16 to % per cent. below
par, when other milk bought at the same time re-
sponded properly to the test. His barn. to the
rear of which the cans were taken TO receive the
milk, is about 100 feet from the road, and lies in
rear of the house. As he kept two fierce dogs on
the premises it was rather difficult to obtain oc-
cular evidence, The Herald says; at was at
length accomplished in very ingenious manner
which we are not at liberty to disclose at present
as the matter may be brought into court. At a
meeting of the patrons Mr.. Weiser was fined $500,
which he refused to pay. Mr.. Merry, the owner
of the factory, will at bring suit for the same
and claims that he has evidence upon which 40
jury in the world can fail to convict"

The corn crop has been much improved by the
late rains and the early planting will now mature.
One of my neighbors told me he had corn grow
ing from to 7 ears on a stalk.
The threshing season is almost over with u.s.
There has been much competition among the
threshers some seven or eight being in our neigh
borhood at one time. Their prices were reduced
considerable from last year. There was one steam
thresher and it gave entire satisfaction.
This is now the season for planting celery and
all are endeavoring to get out good crop. More
and more is planted every season, the demand
seems to be greater each year. Should the season
prove favorable and there is not too much water
ing to be done it will prove paying crop, al
though a very troublesome one.
Our gardeners took advantage last week of the
advance in the price of potatoes and hundreds OF
bushels were taken to market from Gardenvlle
and vicinity. One man planted So bushels and
expects to raise 1000. This week the price has
declined somewhat. NJ. A. r.

ANOTHER SHAPING CASE ~ THE 18TH DISTRICT.
John RicheIe, saloon keeper at the corner of the
North Point and Philadelphia roads, was shot in
the neck on Thursday night of last week by JAS.
Campbell, who was released on 81 900 bail by JUS
tice Dorsey for the action of the Grand Jury of
Baltimore county. Campbell and James Steven
son were in the saloon and the colored hostler,
named Dennis, had charge of their horses at the
door, One of the horses ran away, and the hostler,
who was called to account for the runaway, became
exasperated and drawing his pistol fired several
shots at Stevenson, all of which missed their mark.
Campbell was in his carriage at the time and drew
his pistol, which was discharged the ball hitting
Eichele in the neck. Campbell claims that the
shooting was purely accidental. Stevenson was
arrested with Campbell but was dismissed. The
ball was extracted and the wound is not dangerous.

MS-In the State of New York moves, lives and
has his being one George Clarke. OtsegO county
is his dwelling place. George owns land, tits said,
more extensively than any other individual in the
Empire State. As a consequence of this misfOr
tune thrust upon him, he is compelled to haveten-
ants These same tenants seem to be inocculated
with the ancient anti-rent disease that troubled
the banks of the Hudson years ago. Fifty thous
and acres of land in six counties in the opinion of
the Tenants Association, is too much for one man
to superintend, so the members of said society
kindly burn, once in while, portion of the vast
domain for the twOfold purpose of saving Clarke
worriment and reducing rents. Like some other
thick headed and stupid people, Clarke refuses to
perceive the benefit accrung from this action, and
inconsideratey has had a member arrested for in
cendiarsm and held in S2J, 900 bail. As the Ten
ants association is secret organization, engaged,
it is alleged, in systematic conspiracy to destroy
his property, George has commenced criminal pro-
ceedings against such of the members as are known
to be active participants in the outfages perpetra
ted. The present excitement seems to be revi-
val of the anti-r troubles of New York. between
the years 1910 and 1850. ireland, evidently, is
not the only country in which outrages occur in
consequence of the grasping avarice of the owners
of the SOIL Exchange.
