ALMOST CAUGHT IN the Acr. On Saturday

returning home from meeting of the lodge
Of Independent Order of American Meohan.
les, at finksburg, they came upon man in
the pike near the residence Of Mr. Frederick
Baumgartner. Two of the gentlemen ap.
preached him, when he took to his heels aud
ran into lane leading towards Mr.. Jacob
HUFF S, where he had a horse, which he
moanted aud rode of as fast as be could CO.
A bag containing about bushel and half
OF corn on the ear, and had leiiered on il /,
"Gambrell & Cos. Family Flour" was found
on the read side. The bag was taken to Mil
ten Chew's store at Carrollton, where it is
now for Identification. 1t is evident. from
the suspicious circumstances Of this affair,
that the corn was stolen, and the presence Of
the gentlemen, perhaps, prevented further
depredations in that neghborhood.

sened by Haiaey catching Mehring's arm.
But for the warding of Of the blow, serious,

To THE DAIRYMES or MARYLAND. We
have received the following address and cir
culhr from Mr. 4. j. Belts, Corresponding
Secretary Of the Patapsco Dairy Association.
The evils complained of have been seriously
felt in this section, aud we hope our dairymen
will unite in the effort to crush out tho dis
honest men engaged in the trade We re-
specially call your attention to want long
and seriously felt in the dairy interest of this
State, namely properly organized State
Dairy Association.
While other States are enlisling their best
talent in this great interest, an interest second
only in value on this Continent, and of all
agricultural interests the one demanding the
greatest amount Of intelligence and skilled
labor in its prosecution. Our State with eli.
mate and facilities second to none, is wholly
without means of diffusing information or en-.
tightening its Agriculturists in this great aud
rapidly growing enterprise; most especially
would such an association benefit that large
class of dairymen, who are engaged in the
shipment Of Milk. At present the whole bus.
mess is at loose ends, and all losses Of what.
ever kind or at either end of the line, fall on
the producer
In our opinion, co operation would correct
many If not all abuses to which the business
is now subject, giving the producer better
returns, the commercial dairyman fair and
more steady profit and the consumer better
article Of dairy product.
