mssioners, on Thursday, at Franklinvile, to fix
the site of new bridge to be built by both cOun-

The fording at this point is always deep and dan

great convenience to many people of both counties.

From Lake Roland, 9th District.-Pleas
ant mperaturc-HdH StormS--Summer Boarding
Houses-The "Belp Question-StaJle Burned
The middle of June is past and few days more
will bring us to the longest day of the year. We
generally have hot weather preceding the summer
solstice but the recent rain and hail storms have
kept the temperature lower than usual for the
season.
see by the correspondence of the UNION that
the hail storm of last Friday week let up some
what as it passed the 9th district, the chief
damage being done in the Sd and 18th districts.
Some hail also fell here during the rain storm of
Tuesday last, and it was quite heavy between here
and the city.
The summer boarding season has arrived and
the numerous houses engaged in the business in
this vicinity filing up with those who wish to
escape the heat and annoyances of city life in
summer "Brightside," the well-known and de-
servedly popular house Of Mrs. POsey, on the
banks of the Lake, is already full to overlooking,
some of the gentlemen being compelled to sleep in
tents pitched on top of hill in the rear of the
house, where they can enjoy some ofthe pleasures
of camp life without its disagreeable features.
We have not heard anything for some time from
the city press about "the belt" but the Sun of
Monday last, in noticing the taxpayers meeting
of the Saturday previous, takes occasion to make
a mild deliverance upon this subject which by the
way troubles the city folks far more than it does
us of the county. The Sun says the political ap-
paratus" of the county costs too much well, we
know that and we want new apparatus" that
costs less and works better. The Sun also says
"the belt is "heavy burthen" to us and we have
to tax the rest of the county to give it municipal
advantages" or it would "secede,' and concludes
by kindly wishing that we may get rid of "the
horde of tax consumers who feeding at the
public crib" We are not told how to get rid of
these "burthens" though we may infer that "the
belt" at least better itself by going over to the
city. But is everything "lovely' in the corporate
limits Are there no "burthens" under which the
people of the city groan Is there no chloride" at
the "public crib" that they would kick out if they
could get the toe of their boot within striking dis
lance of them? Does not all this anxiety about
''the belt" arise from the fact that the party in
power in the city so alarmed at the discomfort
among the Taxpayers that they are ready to COB
BILE the belt, the whole county any territory
contiguous to the city, whereby they may increase
their taxable basis and so diminish the "burthens"
of the citizens?
While writing this letter about P. M. of Tues
day, the 18th, cry of fire was heard, and the
barn of Mr.. VIM. A. Fisher, near Lake Station, N.
C. R. R. was found to be in flames. The stock,
vehicles and implements contained in the building
were all removed in safety, the chief loss, apart
from the structure itself, being large lot of straw
stored therein. Some apprehension was felt for
the safety of the dwelling but twas not damaged.
The cause of the fire was not known. S.

A Replevin Case.-A case of some public in
terest was decided by Justice Phil i. Moore on
Tuesday. On the 10th of last May, Mr.. Samuel
M. Price, of the Sth district, impounded six head
of cattle belonging to Mrs. Maria Shanebrook,
which had been taken up as estrays upon his
premises. The property on which the cattle had
strayed was private road through the place of
Mr.. Price, but used by the public, the gate at
the end of which was open at the time. Mrs.
ShanebroOk refused to pay the amount of costs
demanded by Mr.. Price, and gained possession of
her property by a replevin. The replevin case
was argued last Saturday by Mr.. John Grason for
ShanebroOk and Mr.. S. Parker Bosey for Price,
and on Tuesday the justice gave the judgment in
favor of Price for the return of the property re-
plevied and one cent damages and costs. This de-
cision gives back the cows belonging to Shane
brook to Price, but it is expected an appeal will
be taken to court Mrs. Shanebrook, however,
has the in her possession, and if an appeal is
taken she will hold to them until the matter is
adjudicated by the court. The justice took the
ground that Price had right to impound the cat
tie under the common law, but that law, it seems,
does not give him authority to sell them to pay
expenses. Under the estray law the damages
could have been fixed by two appraisers, but this
course was not taken in this case.

about miles from Cockeysville. 1t has first
class country hotel and store, conducted by Mr. S.

also wheewright and blacksmith shops, and the
place is one of considerable Importance. About a
quarter of mile distant is q beautiful grove, in
which a good platform for dancing has been
erected On last Saturday afternoon a pic mic was
held in this grove, which was quite an enjoyable
affair, the music being furnished by Prof. DOMAIN s
band.
The county roads in this vicinity have been put
in first-class repair by the farmers to whom they
were given out to work. The money was judi
ciously expended, and the skill of those who did
the work is to be commended
The wheat crop in this vicinity seems topromise
a good yield. Next week many of our farmers
will commence harvesting. Potato bugs have
been somewhat troublesome, but have not done as
much damage as heretofore.
We hear very little about politics and things in
that line are decidedly fiat. When anything of
interest transpires you will hear from me again.

this was locust year, and last week your CORES

to differ with you" stated that last locust year

differ with both, for on referring to my diary for
the year 1868 find the following entries in regard
to locusts "May Both, locusts appeared above the
ground;" "June 18th, locusts began to sing !"
"June 18th, locusts commenced depositing eggs"
"July 18th, locusts have all disappeared" Con-
sequently the next locust year will be 1885.
While other sections of the county have had
copious showers there has been very little rain in
this, the effects of which is quite plainly on

thus far escaped the damaging hail storms that
have visited other sections of our county.
