FLINT.

FLINT.
Messrs Joshua Husband & Son, are driving n
good business in preparing and shipping flint from
their mills on Deer Creek. They ship about four
teen hundred tons of flint annually. Their flint is
OF superior quality and brings good prices. They
have an inexhaustable supply of the raw material
in a quarry near the mill This mill is of great
number of hands, and always pay them the cash
STEALING CORN.
Some thief lately stole several barrels of corn
from the corn field of Thomas X. Huff, near Dub
lin. The corn was standing in the field in shocks
and the rogue husked the best of the corn from
number of shocks and left them standing.
SwINDLE.
A young man, who lives with a farmer near
Deer Creek sent five dollars to u swindling gang
in Cincinnati, for an elegant gold watch they adj
Vertlsed they would send to any address receipt
OF the money. He enclosed the money i'm letter,
which he had registered and directed to the firm.
In due time receipt for the letter arrived at the
post office, but four months have passed away,
and the watch has not come. 1t never will. Be
ware of those swindling rascals, for if you send
any of them money you are sure to lose it.

The first wild geese of the season passed over
here on Sunday last, flying due north. Several
large Hooks passed over.

HE ALWAYS LIKED HOT FIRES
HOhe cold nlght IN January, a handsome and fas-
cinating young widow who had lost her dear John
twelve months ago, was seated before a hot fire
that blazed in an od-fashioned fire place, and by
her side sat II difiident young man. Conversation
began to flag; the poor fellow could not think of
anything, to say to the charming lady by his side
AT last she came TO the rescue and told him in
slvery accents that Hooking at the fire reminded
her of dear John, who" she said always liked hot
fires" and added that ait was her great consola-
always have them" chill seized the young suit
or and utterng an unintelligible excuse he hasti-
ly left. He has not been back since, and the lady
wonders what ais the fellow. MARs,

The Extra Session of Congress.

More than customary interest is felt in the
approaching extra session of Congress, which
will commence at Washington, on the 18th
instant. Both Houses will be Democratic for
the first time in twenty years, and the occa-
sion besides will be signalized by renewal
of the struggle between Congress and Presi-
dent Hayes over the Federal election laws
The Democrats will repeal the obnoxious
laws and the President may veto the BILL
The Democrats may not be able to pass their
bill over the veto, but they can do as the Re
publicans have heretofore done, tack the pro-
posed repeal to the appropriation bills, and
thus compel the President to sign both or
veto them again. A deadlock may thereby
ensue, which would be regretted.
The laws sought to be repealed are the
jurors test oath in the United States Courts.
the law authorizing the presence of troops
at the polls, and the law authorizing the ap-
pointment of election supervisors and an I'M
limited number of marshals
In insisting upon the repeal of these I'M
constitutional laws, the House truly repre-
sents the wishes of a large majority of the
people of the country. They were unknown
before 1871, and are unnecessary and danger
Gus to free government. Their repeal will
be a step in the direction of restoring the
supremacy of the civil over the military pow
err and in opposition to the ccntralzing ten.
denotes of Republican legislation.
The House should stand firm in the posi-
ton it has taken. The laws alluded to have
no warrant in the constitution, and are an
encroachment upon the right of the States
to regulate their domestic affairs The peo.
pie will sustain their representatives in theil
efforts to secure the!reedom and purity of the
ballot.

ACCIDENT AND NARROW EscAPE.-Last Friday
morning Mr.. A. Preston Gilbert had his arm dis
located and narrowly escaped being run over by
heavy hay wagon. He started from Bel Air to
Aberdeen, and near Mr. Henry W. Archer's gate,
on the Churchyille road, met Mr.. Oldfelds large
wagon, laden with bales of hay. Mr.. Gilbert's
horse became frightened at this and whirling
around, fell down, throwing Mr.. Gilbert with his
head Immediately in front of the fore wheel of the
heavy wagon, and only a few feet distant from the
moving wheel. Mr.. Gilbert, although painfully
hurt by his fall, had presence of mind to withdraw
his head, and as he was doing so the wheel passed
over his hat, taking it from his head. He found
that his left arm was dislocated, but he was not
hurt otherwise. DIR. r. d. Lee adjusted the dis
location, and Mr.. Gilbert is going about again:

Still say, Thy will be done.

Hon. William Pinkney Whyte.

Among the leaders in Congress, for he is
now everywhere recognized as such, there is
none to whom we look with more confidence
in his skill, integrity and ability than to
Maryland's United States Senator, Hon. Will
liam Pinkney Whyte. His record during the
session just closed, in his encounters with
Edmunds, Blaine and other Republican mag
mates of the ultra school, has developed con-
fidence in Mr.. Whyte's ability to lead his
party to victory and the country to renewed
peace and prosperity. Unconnected with the
late Presidential fraud, and not consenting to
its consummation in any shape, he entered
the United States Senate prepared and able
to cope with its authors upon every scheme
they have inaugurated, hostile to the liberties
of the people. The Democracy of the coun-
mate skill and ability-fcarlcss in the advo-
cacy of its principles The importance of
having such men in Congress at this crisis
cannot be ver-estimated The last Presi-
dental election has afforded bitter eype-
riences, from which we are to learn caution
for the future. Men of the stamp of Mr..
Whyte are the men we need right now in the
councils of the nation. Unfortunately, they
are not as plentiful in public life as the needs
of the times require 1t has so often been
said as to amount to truism, that adverse
circumstances will always develop men equal
to the emergency; and we believe our Mary
land Senator is now rising to meet the cmer-
gencies into which this country has been
plunged by Republican misrule We have
noted with great satisfaction Mr.. Whytcs
position in the Senate-achieved by all that
goes to inspire hope and confidence for the
future. With such leaders the old Demo-
cratic line cannot be broken.
