Fox HUNTING IN MARYLAND.-The hills
and valleys of Anne Arundel County in the
vicinity of Furnace Branch five miles from
Baltimore, were on Saturday again made to
echo and re-echo the shouts of a merry fox
hunting party. Members of the Elkridge
Hunting Club and their invited guests, to
the number of thirty-hve, including nine
ladies, all splendidly mounted, assembled
at the monument at $50 o. m., and rode to
the meet arriving about s o'clock. There
they were joined by party of nine gentle
men from the vicinity of the Relay House,
and Thomas Cole, veteran hunter of Anne
Arundel, and owner of most of the hounds
which have been used by the Club He
threw off the pack soon after the arrival of
the Baltimoreans, and after considerable
snitf1ing and yelping a scent was struck,
and away went the hounds upon the trail,
followed by the hunters across fields, over
fences and bitches, over hill and through
valley in pursuit. Three of the ladies fol-
lowed the hounds, conspicuous among
whom was Miss McTavish, sister of the
lady who carried off the brush at the last
meet. She was mounted on Mr.. Albert
Ludlam's high-spirited 'Murad and her
graceful and daring riding was much adj
mired. For about twenty minutes a spir
tied run was kept up, but the ground proved
too dry and the hounds lost the scent and
were unable to recover it. This was the
last meet of the season, but it is proposed
to renew the sport again next winter The
club will be regularly organized, and every
necessary equipment purchased. The rem
devious will be near the Relay House, where
stabling will be provided for the horses of
members. Meets will take place in a num-
Der of the adjoining counties, and it is ex-
pected that this revival of an old Maryland
and Virginia custom will afford some rare
enjoyment to the ladies of Baltimore

BELMONT COUNTY INFIRMARY. =
BRIDdEPoRr, Jan. 24.-EaitorS InteRi.
qeneer:-At a meeting Of the Directors Of
the Belmont County, Ohio, 1nfirmary.
held last Saturday, Alex. Danford, oil
Belmont, was elected Superintendent, at
salary ofS1, 200 per annum.
The announcement for "bids" drew a
large number Of applicants together on
Friday at the Iniirmary. Much COM.
plant has been made, largely without any
reason, against the management during
the past year or two, and the public, that
mart Of Il at any rate 80 clamorous for
"a change" will now have an opportunity
Of testing the propriety Of the measure.
Mr.. Danford bears ar excellent reputa.
ton as a citizen and humanitarian and
we sincerely trust he may thoroughly
succeed in his new and arduous mission,
but we must say Belmont county can ill
afford to part with Mrs. Powell, the late
~manageress for any body in the county or
State, and We very much regret with the
general public that the board could not
have retained her, employ who else they
might. We hesitate not 10 say for
special qualifications Of disposition,
administrative tact, thoroughly edu-
Gated by long experience : with
a full appreciation OF the duties oil the
position and a rare %adaptability to dis
charge them, Mrs. Powell stands alone,
without even a rival, and we are sin
cerely sorry, on account Of the public in
teresta she 80 acceptably served, as well
as personally, to part with her, and we
bid her "good-bye,f with the best wishes
Of the people Of Belmont county to so
with her wherever she goes. We should
say that neither Mrs. Powell nor her
brother, John Lowe, were applicants for
re.appointment.
The terms Of the contract with the new
Superintendent substantially are to EN-.
ploy a first-class engineer, a farm hand
and two female helps in the house, enter
ing into a bend Of $4,000 with approved
security for the proper performance Of
duty, and to reimburse for losses through
his carelessness. By the time this is all
done it will SILVER $1,000, we should
think.

AN enterprising firm in the cityofNew
York IS entitled to the credit Of discov'
ering a new and lucrative industry
Whenever a bank breaks it sends out an
agent to buy up the unused check books
OF the depositors. AT Ghicsgo last week
he secured a thousand such books. Each
check has a Autographed stamp on 1t that
represents 9 cents, and the firm has ar
arrangement with the Treasury whereby
"ths Treasury Department either re-
deems these stamps on the checks at par
or authorizes the company 10 issue new
ones in their place." The agent gets so
per cent commission, and pays from 20t o
40 cents a hundred for the checks, so that
the Companyis share Is a cent on each
the agents about three-quarters Of a cent
and the owner OF the book about one
quarter Of a cent. It might do no harm
Il such an arrangement exists, to have il
made general, and 80 allow depositors to
make the profit to which they are emit
tied.

Occasion.

BETHANY, January %, 1878.
Editors Iutslllgeucer:
Our village is seldom heard from in
YOUR valuable paper. You should have
a correspondent here who would weekly
give o notes OF what ia transriringin
this vicinity. We are located in the
Garden Spot Of West Virginia so far as
health, productive soil and fine sheep go.
Above all this we have Bethany College,
which sends out more noted teachers,
sharp lawyers and w~ide.awake editors
than any other college in the land with
the same number Of students. II has a
refining influence on the surrounding
community. Our graded school partakes
OF It. and sven u Sunday School, which
I started out to write about, Is largely
benefited by this influence. This school,
presided over by Sheriff Curtis, gave Al
excellent entertainment on Thursday
evening, at the College Hall, which was
we'll alIed with an attentive audience.
After PRAYER by w. K. Pendleton and a
yery short address by Prof. Loos, the
tabieau OF "Ltttle Red Riding Hood" was
presented with good effect. The child
was 90 we'll disguised rs not to be recog-
nized by me. After this, a Recitation by
Kittie Whitsett, "Where Do the New
Years Come From?" This was delivered
bytheli little child in very good style. Next,
aQuartette, by members OF the school,
after which a song by Lille skidmore,
.tseyen Times One are Seven" was deliv.
cred with wonderful effect. The tableau
Of Coming to the Parson" was received
with rounds Of applause and agatn pre-
sented. "Ring Out Wild Bells" by Phil.
Pendleton, was we'll recited. Tableau,

Byrne, created much amusement,and was

closing one by Minnie Loos, were deliy-

~recitations and taleaux, except the last
two, were very small children, but their
different parts were performed with won.

entertained with excellent music by the
school, under the control Of Professor
HAYDEN and Miss Lizzie Lauek, to whom
much praise ia due, as also to Mis-, Birdie
Pendleton and Miss Emma Loos Tor pre-.

worked faithfully for success, and you
know the Christian people Of Bethany

anything. This was o success soelally
and financially. Enough money was
raised to pay the debts OF the school and
give them start for the New Year, and
We hope to witness many more meetings
