1.0n,s MILLS ITEMs.-About forty years
nVIo tIo niobt watch of Baltimore not only
az "a the hour, but sometimes the weather.
TIL writer ON one occasion heard an old
nntobman named Jake, whose beat extended
- Cav street, cry with a voice like thun-
IOD77 r 77sts6 nash tree o clock and de wedder is
.". ue' do same on dis side of de street as on de
JiJdor u Now there is many sides to this
iuoaiitv and | am unaware whether the people
io'" nna side are like those on ''de tudder,"
T,. In do know that all inside, of every imagi-
Dobla ACE and sex, are alike and in the great
nst commotion. The cause of this commo-
ton is the Sunday School festival to be held
on the 10th of July, on the grounds attached
~ Watson's Church. Such begging, such
Generations, such promises of good things
pon never heard. The school now numbers
over sixty scholars and is in tourlshlng con-
dition. Its great want is books, and the OBJ
;oct of the festival is to raise funds to obtain
3tbem, and sincerely hope generous public
iii rive the necessary aid. Every thing that
oon fempt the palate will be found on the diff
fsrent tables, presided over by bevy of as
nrettv girls as Carroll county can produce.
Come one, come all-everything that is good,
a hearty welcome, and plenty OF fun awaits
you. ,... cu do,ou,,oa tho
Greatest commisseration- their troubles almost
5aSs bearing-their grumbling, if not deserv
ing of reproach, truly laughable. With more
wheat. oats and hay than they know how to
manage-with prospect of an equal abun-
dance of everything else, is it any wonder
how they have longed for war between the
English and Russians. No matter how many
lives may be sacrificed, nor how many souls
sent unprepared before their maker, no matter
how many widows and orphans cast upon
cold merciless world, if two dollars per bushel
for wheat could be obtained, then all would
he right-and this is called christianity.
The homicide near Mount Airy, reported
in YOUR paper, has assumed a different as
meet. The Jury of inquest rendered verdict
,,5fself defense, but the friends of the deceased
have been looking into the matter, and when
sIreen was brought before Judge Hammond
this evidence was such as to preclude bail,
and ale accused was sent to Jail. Develop
ments since the homicide have very much
changed public opinion, and it is thought the
accused has hard road to travel.
The school at this place closes on Friday.
1t has been one of the best attended and sue
cessful terms since the present teacher has
had charge, which is now eleven years. The
teacher challenges the secretary of the School
Board to produce greater per cent OF at
tendance in the county, that is, among schools
mot located in the towns.
SANS CREEK ITEMs.-The "buldozing''
Security Lightning Rod Co., has done a
-"Land Office" business in the way of duping
farmers in this section. But, as there are no
L. R. Co.'S, in Maryland, land if there were
1t would not be treating the "Yankees" right
: If we were to encourage home industry, the
barns &C., must have rods. 1t seems as
though people think anything that comes
from the Puritan country is better than home
manufacture. Lightning rods from there may
be more (be) "witchey," but that is all. Not
less than five farmers have been swindled in
this vicinity. Live and learn.
Most of the farmers have secured their hay
and now the hum of the reaper, the gladstone
voices of the gatherers, and the sweet song OF
the pretty maids and neat housewives, as they
bus7 themselves in the preparation of the
condiments for the weary harvesters are rife
in the land.
DR.. B. F. Franklin, of Jewsburg, had be-
tcome convalescent but the indulgence in new
potatoes, spring chicken, &C., mot impru-
IDENTIFY caused relapse. We hope soon to
be able to announce his recovery, also to hear
of the practice of both patience and prudence
by professors.
HARvEsT.-The divine promise, that while
the earth remaineth summer, winter, seed
time and harvest shall not cease, ought to
assure the doubling, in all vicissitudes OF
climate, especially such as have marked the
current year. The warm and genial spring
gave promise of an unusually early harvest,
but the cool weather which followed retarded
very greatly the time of the ingathering of the
golden sheaves. That period arrived, how
ever, a little earlier than usual, in conse-
quence of the favorable start the grain re-
ceived in the early spring. And the harvest
is an abundant one, which bids fair to fill the
garners of the husbandmen until there shall
not be room to contain. While we write the
golden heads are falling before the reaper,
the weather is propitious, the grain is per
fectly developed, and the immense yield IS
direct evidence of the bounty and goodness
of an overruling Providence. At this most
interesting season the heart Of the husband
man ought to swell with gratitude to the Giver
of all Good, for the abundance with which
his labor is crowned.
