On Wednesday last committee Of gen
tlemen from Boonsboro', consisting Of our
old friend Wclck and others, visited Fred
crick for the purpose of examining the sew
cral hand fire engines offered for sale by
the United and Independent companies.
1t is most likely they will buy one or the
other.
Mr. Steiner Schlcy, druggist of Freder-
crick, lately presented the United Fire
company of that city, two splendid silver
plated lanterns of magnificent design. 1t
is said that the dictionary is minus words
of appreciation. hence the DR.. will have to
take the will for the deed. We always
knew him to be a generous fellow.
If some of the newspapers will, which
we exchange don't be little more careful
with their figures when they publish ac-
couts Of tall wheat, and tall rye, we shall
feel ourselves called upon to set before
them chapter from the history Of Anan-
las and Sapphira, Il couple who lived long
ago and died very suddenly one day.
Those were very naughty young men
who stood in front Of tho Lutheran church
door on Sunday night with umbrellas over
their heads making believe it was raining.
How the girls with new summer hats on
did shrink back when they came to the
door and saw the huge parasols hostcd.
Who were those two young men, pos
scssc'l with more check than good sense
that went to the College Sunday week and
requested that their horse be put away rs
they wished TO stay for dinner, Father
John politely informed them that they did
not keep a hotel.
The excursion to Monterey, on the occa.
sion of the opening OF the grand hotel at
that place, Thursday last, was not very
well patroniHcd. Those who were in at
tendance, however, spoke in glowing terms
Of the hotel and its efficient arrangement
=, Tie hotel is now duly inauguracl and we
hcSpcak for the proprietor Il full house
during the coming simmer

During the warm season, would it not
be Il GOOD idea 10 have the window shutters
of the several churches bowed n little in
stead Of being thrown wide open as they
usually are. Too much light draws flies
which are very annoying to a congregation
\ room darkrncG this way is always more
comfortable than one exposed to tie strong
light. Give tia trial, anyhow, and see how
it works.
YES The indcfatigabc lightning roc
men took our peaceful village, and some %
our farmers too, by storm last week. 1t is
said that in some parts of the far west if ;
man kills another he Is Immediately strung
up, but If he kills n lightning rod man OF
a book agent he is presented with Il gold
medal and free ticket to the Paris expo
siiion. These appear to be very clever
gentlemen, however.

Mary's College near Emmitsburg, were
presented with Il handsome silk flag from
Mrs. J. O. Holiday, Of Baltimore. After
which the command, some fifty in number
marched to the front of the college where
they were received by the President, Rev
WntlcrsOn, who made short address,
Their fine military appearance and ma
nocuvers elected much applause.
1t might be considered an April fool, but
as it happened in June it must be some
other kind. He rode some ten miles over
