Remarkable Effect of Bone Dust.

MIR. ENRON About the year 1S42 the
writer was employed as mechanic, by Mr..
George Mecham, on the farm now owned, /
believe, by Amos Gilbert, Esq, near the
Hickory, in this county, and there saw the
effects of bone as q q fertilizer, for the first
time Mr. Mecham bought fourteen bushels
of bono dust for his buckwheat crop. He
plowed up two acres, put the fourteen bushels
of bone dust on one acre, and on the other
acre along side no bone. The result 81 bushels
buckwheat off the latter acre and 9S bushels
off the one where the bone was applied
bone WAC sold in those days by the bushel at
so cents Query-why can we not realize
similar results in these days. from the use
of bone. A PLAsTERER

BREAKING GROUND FOR THE RAILROAD.
The announcement that ground will be
broken for the new Baltimore and Delta Rail-
road, nj Bel Air, on Tuesday next, the 2Sth
instant, is ii very gratifying one indeed. The
occasion will be signalizcd by speech making,
&c, and we hope our citizens will come out
in numbers to witness the actual commence
ment of an enterprise that cannot fail TO be
of inestimnble benefit to the whole county,
The directors are proceeding cautiously and
prudently with the work but in order that
there may be no break in their efforts, the sub
scribers should pay promptly the proportion
of their subscriptions as they are called for
The railroad can BIZ completed, but it will take
a considerable amount of money in addition
to that already subscribed. This can be OBJ
tanned, if the first subscriptions are paid up
when they are required by the directors The
present time is most favorable for carrying out
the enterprise. Labor and materials are
abundant and cheap, and every thing con-
spires towards success, if our people will only
fulfil their obligations on the faith of which
the work has progressed to the point it has
now rcn ched.
THE hartford AND THE York FAIRS
In spite of the well-known authority that
comparisons are odOrous," we venture to
publish the following, concerning our coun-
ty fair, from the Glen Rock York Coy Item
Having attended both our county fair and
also that of Hartford county, Maryland, we
must concede that in some particulars the
exhibits there exceeded those at York. Els.

Mr. John b. Longnecker, one of the edi.

Pittsburg, last week. He had gone thi.her

is recovering from an attack of lock Jaw,
by which he has been confined to his bed for
three weeks.
Some alarm has been created by the an
pearance of several caes of scarlet fever in
Bush River Neck, and one of the public
schools has been closed on that account.
On Wednesday night as Messrs. Patrick
Howard and Patrick Dunnigan were return
ing home from Baltimore their horse slipped
on the ice, near Boarman's Hotel, Hartford

Both the occupants were thrown out and

in the gearing of a horse power, while max

The injury was so severe that his arm had
to be amputated above the elbow. His

On Wednesday Mr.. Charles Creswell kill
ed, on the Mountain, near Stockton, two large
and lively garter snakes, who had evidently
come forth thinking that the heart of the
winter was broken. The waking-up of snakes
from their winter sleep is said to betoken
the early approach of spring. We will not
pin our faith on the fact mentioned, however,
but prefer to wait until the ground hog re-
turns are all in.
-Messrs William Webster, Henry Carroll
and other citizens Of Baltimore county have
applied to the circuit court for an injunction
to restrain the county commissioners of that
county from collecting any more taxes on
the levy of 1878. The petitioners alege that
the commissioners have exceeded their pow
ers by lcvying in excess of the amount need
ed for legitimate county expenses, and that
they have not taken into account the amounts
due from collectors in arrears. sc. The list
of February is the day set by Judge Yelott
for hearing the case.
