Catholic Church Fair-Miraculous Recovery Of
an E.fant--Hartord Preparations for
SeediRg-ProtrGcted Meetings, &c.-The fair held
at St. Johns Catholic Church, Long Green, which
was in progress over a week, was financially a
success. Much interest was manifested and the
net profits aggregated near $500.
The family of Mr.. Jonas Dampman, prOpre-
tor of Wright's old stand, was thrown into great
state of excitement not long since. 1t appears
that their youngest child was taken very i'll, and
the physician being ordered left some medicine in
bottle unlabelled. Shortly thereafter some of
the family giving the child its medicine found
that instead of the medicine prescribed it had been
given overdose of laudanum. DIR. A. S. Bald
win was Immediately called in, and after aboring
with the child for several hours it was finally pro-
nOunced out of danger. This should teach all the
Importance of keeping their medicine labelled, as
several such cases have come under my observa-
ton.
The Hartford county Agricultural and Mechan.
ical Society opened Tuesday under iattering aus
pices. Ofthe many handsome and well construct
ed wagons on the grounds, was one exhibited by
Messrs. Scharf & Arthur which was awarded first
premium. This fair attracts many people from
our county.
Farmers are busy preparing for seeding; most
of them are through with their work, while others
have made no preparations whatever. The ground
is very dry at present and good soaking rain is
much needed here. The roads are becoming very
dusty.
A protracted meeting has been in progress at
Salem church, Kingsville, for several weeks,
which has resulted in much good. meeting is
also in progress at Union Chapel, near Sweet Air.
Preaching each evening at o'clock. I would
suggest that the meetings commence a half hour
later so as to give all chance of being on time.
l know of a young man who not being able to
finish his repast in time for church was compelled
to finish it in the midst of the service.

Accident at a Bridge.

Accident at Bridge.-On Friday of last
week Mr.. John Howard, of Warren, while engaged
with others in erecting Meredth's Ford bridge,
was thrown into the water a distance of about 20
feet, caused by the giving way of some timbers.
He was severely cut across the forehead besides
receiving other injuries. Mr.. Melville Todd, who
was also employed on the bridge, was struck back
of the neck by heavy timber, and painfully
though not dangerously hurt. The accident will
cause considerable delay in the completion of the

Reckless Gunners.-0ne of the numerous
reckless amateur sportsmen who scare all the poor
little tomtits in the suburbs, and the barn
yards of farmers, creating general alarm, not so
much for the birds they shoot as for the danger
they to people, inflicted very serious injury
upon young workingman named Godfrey Link,
on Saturday, Sept. 81. Mr.. Link was working at
his anvil in the blacksmith shop at Union Bridge,
on the Philadelphia road, when he was shot in the
right eye, injuring the tender organ that he has
been unable ever since to work, and stands in great
danger yet of losing the sight Of the eye. One
bird-shot fired from gun penetrated the eye
The injury was inflicted by youth whose name
is not known. People are constantly in dread of
injury from the unskillful hands of amateur hunt
ers, and the danger increases as we approach
Thanksgiving Day, when the farmers would do
well to drive all their poultry into the barns and
lock up and barricade the farm house and diaries.

Preparing for the New Railroad.-I learn
that our enterprising and generous neighbor, Mr..
J. Glenn McComas, is making extensive prepare
tions to establish an extensive dairy as soon as the
new BALTIC. & Delta R. r. is completed. This
looks if some had great faith in the road being
built, and if there are others who contemplate en-
tering upon this profitable business, when the
road is built, which is so promising at present. to
follow Mr.. McComass example and get their
farms in condition to pasture large herds OF
cows, and also begin rearing number of the best
breed, as Mr. McComas is now doing, if they want
to be up with the times. p.

Writ to Obtain Possession of an Infant
The Baltimore Bulletin of 4th inst. says: "a
few days ago Lewis F. Allen, of Woodberry, OBJ
tanned from Chief Judge Brown, of the Court of
Common Pleas, the writ of habeas corpus to re-
cover from John Brooks, of the same place, his
daughter Lizzie 5 months old. The mother of
the child, short time ago, died from burns re-
ceived by her, and the infant taken care of by
Brooks and his wife. On demand of the father
for repossession of his daughter Brooks refused to
give her up unless debt of SIS due by Mr.. Allen
was paid On being served with the summons
Brooks concluded to surrender his charge. This
morning he took the child to the Office of Mr..
Ruddell, counsel for Mr.. Allen. He accompanied
the counsel to the court, where the petition was
withdrawn, the child having previously been sur
rendered to the father"

Mr.. HAMILToN's SPEECHES.-In his speech at
Partition on Thursday of last week Hon. VIM. T.
Hamilton gave very little encouragement to Office
hunters and said that too much money was being
spent, adding that he approved of the movements
of taxpayers to secure more economical local
government, &c. Mr.. Hamilton also made a
speech at Belair last week portion of which we
quote from the Belair 1Eigis, as follows
"Mr. Hamilton next alluded to the subject OF
taxation, and charged the people to watch their
money themselves and make their representatives
watch it. When man says, 81 want part of this
money. | hauled this voter to the polls or did
this party SERVICE" tell him the money was not
collected for that purpose. If he is good, clever
fellow, let him take chances for office, but do not
pay him salary out of proportion to what other
pc Ople get for the same work. Pension no one
ON the State, except those too poor and unable to
work. 1t is bribery to idleness. Let me tell
YOU gentlemen who are seeking for Office, | am
not going to give all my time listening to clamors
for Office That evil must be corrected. l have
seen great big men, able to cut three or four cords
of wood day, acting as pages to the Legislature.
When was in the Legislature thirty years ago,
said Mr. Hamilton, with Major Stephenson and
Thomas Hope, of your county, had to go to the
postoflice formy letters. Now you will thirty
running with letters to you. Now they have all
KINDS OF gut cnalrS 10 slI uponJ ouC III Inose uay
good strong chairs were used and they were not
ornamented. We want simple, frugal, econom-
ical government, and will have it if there is power
in the Democratic party. We believe in the true
principles of the constitution and must come to
them. We must reduce the expense of govern
ment. The amount is appalling. The State of
Maryland should be out of debt and it is time to
quit going in debt. He regarded office hunting as
the great evil of the day. Drunkenness is the
worst evil in the land and Oflice-seeking is the
next. 1t is destroying labor Work, toll, sow
and spin, he concluded, beautify and ornament
your homes, instead of being pensioners upon the
people"
We learn that Mr.. Hamiltons illusions to the
payers movements, at the Parkton meeting,
did not please some of the ring Democracy of this
county, particularly the candidates for Office who
we're present. We also have good authority for
saying that there was no enthusiasm at the meet
ing and that the speeches-particularly those OF
some of the local canddates-fell like a wet blan-
ket upon the audience.
