HAMPSTEAD ITEMs.-A meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Baltimore and Han
over Railroad Company was held at the hotel
of II. Fl. Lamotte, in Hampstead, on the l4th
inst, for the consideration of various local
interests of the company. No contract for
grading the unfinished portion of the road
was given out, but we learn that the contract
for section u, known as ''Saint Pauls," and
two other sections will be given out the latter
part of the present month.
As Col. c. Diller, the contractor of section
No. 9, was driving through town his horse
took fright, and becoming unmanageable,
succeeded in colliding Col. OILERS vehicle
against the butcher wagon of Mr.. Henry War
ner the equinimity of each of the gentlemen
was considerably disturbed, as there was con-
siderable mutilation of wagons, axles broken
and wheels torn off, and both the gentlemen
getting out of their vehicles quicker than was
customary. Fortunately neither were hurt
Col Diller has put down narrow gauge
track for the purpose of carrying the earth
over a long haul, in grading past this town,
and is rapidly and energetically pushing his
contract towards completion.
On the 14th inst, about daylight, the large
barn of William II. Hoffman, on the property
known as the Rockdale Farm, was destroyed
by fire, together with three mules and one
morse, farming implements, harness anu pro-
vender, also one of Mr.. Hoffman's wagons,
loaded with some three hundred dollars worth
of paper, which had been driven under the
shed attached to the barn, preparatory to an
early start for the railroad. Six mules were
saved at the imminent risk of the driver, who
liberated them from the burning building into
the yard, and then Mr.. Bull, the farmer,
knocked down a board fence permitting them
to escape into the adjoining field. 1t is
thought to have been the work of an incendi-
airy or of demented person, who was seen
passing through the neighborhood the day
before The barn was insured in the Balti-
more County Mutual Fire Insurance Company
for 81 900, and insurance on live stock and
contents $500. This is the first fire Mr.. Hoff
man has met with during long and active
business life with numerous estates and bull
dings in his possession.

UNION MILLS ITEMs-Harvest, though not
so early as was expected, will commence gen.
orally next week in this vicinity. The crop
was but little injured by the frost, and the
yield will be at least 40 per cent. more than
was ever harvested before in this section.
Mr.. B. Slyder, of Silver Run, plucked a
wheat stalk from his field that measured 6
feet inches. We think before we are done
cutting we can find rye that will outstrip Bal
timore county by one foot.
Mr.. Daniel Sholl cut from his premises,
about one mile north of this place, chestnut
tree that measured feet in diameter, and
made ia heavy fencing posts, rails, nearly
800 feet of boards, and cords of wood.
Perhaps Baltimore county can beat that?

An ESCAPED PRISONER SHoT.-A despatch
from York, Pa, dated June 16, says :-Har-
yer Wilson, a resident of Fawn township, this
county, charged with stealing horse and
buggy, the property of Robert A. Lord, es-
capped from the custody of officer Jameson,
after being committed week ago to day.
That officer, in company with his brother and
Joseph McAbee, of Shrewsbury, went to the
residence of Wilson before sunrise this morn
ing for the purpose of making the arrest. As
day broke Wilson was seen coming out OF the
house and going towards the barn. When
about to enter the stable Jameson stepped up
to him to take him into custody, whereupon
Wilson jumped inside the door and declared
that if the officer moved another foot towards
him he would blow his brains out. He then
shut the door on the officer and tried to es-
cape from the barn. In doing so he encoun.
tered McAbee, whom he had likewise warned
to get out of his way or he would shoot him,
but McAbee fired at Wilson, the ball taking
effect in his abdomen, and causing death in
about Is minutes An inquest was held over
the body, and the officers, who had given
themselves up, released again, but were sub
sequently held for their appearance at court.
Two brothers of Wilson were also captured
last week and are now confined in York jail
awaiting trial on charges of assault and bat
terry with intent to kill.
