FISKsBURG ITENs.-On the afternoon and
night of the LIST instant an ice cream and
strawberry festival was held at Sandy Mount
NJ. p. Church, for the benefit of the church.
The weather was unfavorable, being cool and
damp, but notwithstanding large number of
persons attended, and all the refreshments,
including confectionery, cakes, &C., were sold.
We believe our little village has concluded
to retire from public notice. We find it i'm
possible even TO rake up an item, as The AD-
yocATE advised some months ago. We could
say much of the freaks of the weather, but
find that subject handled by contributors from
all sections, and as our weather has been pre-
ciseIy like their weather, we refrain at pres
ent, though we cannot forbear saying that the
changeable nature of the theme is greatly to
its advantage, or it could not have survived
the unceasing handling. But while nothing
unusual has occurred, all the natural and
seasonable events have succeeded each other
with the usual dispatch. Our people never
allow their affairs to get behind those of their
neighbors, or the season either. Indeed, this
spring they'rather got ahead of the season in
some instances. In a word, all kinds of bust
ness is moving, particularly the milk business.

SUICIDE Is BALTIMORE CouxrY.-Sunday
morning at $50 clock, Elijah Gore, resid-
ing about II miles above Pikesvile, after
conversing quite cheerfully with his family
and the Rev. Messrs. Dosh and Brown, who
were visiting him, went up stairs to dress be-
fore accompanying them to church. Shortly
afterwards the guests were startled by the re-
port of gun, and on the ministers going up
they found Mr.. Gore quite dead, the head,
above the mouth, being fearfully mangled by
charge of shot which had passed through it.
He hadplaced the muzzle Of "a double barreled
gun close to his head and fired it with his foot.
de was an exemplary member Of the Metho-
dist Church, and a correct man in all the
walks of life. He had been for years the man
ager on the estate of the late DIR. Fisher, and
had brought the land into high state of fer
tility. Since DR.. Fishers death, last winter,
he had been most anxious to buy portion of
the farm, and since its purchase by the Rev.
j. w. Gouchera change was observed in him.
1t was probably this disappointment which in
duced him to commit the rash act. He was
in his fifty-second year, in good circumstances,
and leaves a wife and three children.
