VALUABLE HORSE kILLEp.-Last Satur-
day evening, as George Jockeys eldest son
was returning home from town, where he
had delivered a load of wood, the horses be-
came frightened by some unknown cause at
the foot of the hill near Mr. Tooleys place.
and ran towards home at a tremendous pace.
The boy was thrown off and dragged for
some distance, being cut about the head and
badly bruised. As the team neared home
in the darkness they came in contact with
the fence, knocking down thirty or forty
feet of it. Tooley's grey ran a picket into
its breast which came ont ON its back, run
ming three feet through the horse, destroy
ing him. The horse was valued at about
$3.50. The boy is recovering.

FIRE. EShortly before eleven o'clock last
evening an alarm of fire was sounded in the
garrison the cause being the burning of the
stables, woodsheds and other houses attached
to Colonel Pollock's quarters. For some
time the dwelling house was in danger but
through the persistent efforts of the soldiers
and of our Fire Dept which had promptly
turned out, the fire was confined to its origi-
nal limits. The fire is supposed to be the
work Of an incendiary. a

VISIT TO DELTA.-Mr. William M. Arnall,
manager of the Baltimore County Herald, has
just returned from trip ofthree or four days,
to Delta, York county, the terminus of the
proposed narrow-gauge railroad from Balti-
more, through Baltimore and Hartford coun-
ties. His visit was with q view TO establish
ing weekly newspaper at that point, and he
reports the people in Peach Bottom, Fawn
and other adjoining townships as being en-
tirely favorable to the enterprise. The peo-
pie are fully alive to the importance of the
proposed railroad, and think those nearer
Baltimore are too slow in approaching the
importance of the enterprise. The country
surrounding Delta is most prosperous. This
is proven by the beautiful and well-tilled
farms for which that section is noted. The
immense slate quarries are one of the leading
enterprises of that thrifty town, and the COM
pleion of the railroad will cause a demand
for this product not heretofore experienced.
The people are represented to be intellectual
and hospltable, and one visiting them cannot
fail to be pleased. Mr.. Arnall, besides being
practical printer, possesses excellent business
qualifications, and we have no doubt that
should he establish paper at Delta he will
succeed beyond his most sanguine eXpecta
tons. The people should lend him helping
hand as no business so stimulates the growth
and prosperity of a town and country rs
meteorological, sprightly newspaper.-1o'o

nected with farm life. The Farmer is one of the
leading agricultural publications of the day.

with ability and enterprise, it deserves and
should receive liberal support from Maryland
farmers. No farmer in this latitude can afford
to do without this farm journal, old in years but

IFS II May Happen" is the title of an in
tensely interesting and very original novel,
just published by Messrs. Porter & Coates, of
Philadelphia, to whom we are indebted for a
copy The plot of the story is ingeniously wo-
ven, and some chapters and passages are as pa
thetc as the story of Little Nell in Dickens Old
Curiosity Shop. The book also contains touch
es of genuine wit and humor mingled with its
thread of sentiment. We have seldom read an
American novel-and certainly none of the pres
ent day-wth greater variety of character, each
one being well sustained throughout. The
scene changes with wonderful rapidity, bringing
the different persons together at the close where
vice is punished and virtue made happy, after
the fashion of all good story tellers. 1t is alto
gether so well written, from first to last, that
we venture TO say few persons will, after COM
mencing to read the book, want to put it down
until they have finished it.

great advantages in the way of fire insurance,
offered by the above reliable company. Its as
sets amount to over 81 100000, so that failure
is absolutely impossible. 1t insures nothing
but dwellings and farm property, rejecting all
risky property such as manufacturing or mer-
camille establishments. 1t not only pays for all
losses by fire, but for damages done by lightning
whether fire ensues or not. 1t also pays for live
stock killed by lightning anywhere on the farm.
The latter features will commend themselves to

able amount of damage caused by electricity in
this county every year.

The EVENING BULLETIN--The Baltimore
Eyening Bulletin has been in existence only
a little more than two years, but in that time it
has firmly established its claims as first-class
newspaper. While true to Democratic princi-
pies it reserves to itself the right to condemn
fraud and corruption in the party. Its indie
pendent and fearless course has made it respect
ed by the better element of all parties and fear
ed by corrupt and designing politicians of every
class. We congratulate it upon its success,
which is deserved, and commend it for its enter
prise, ability and freedom from sensationalism
and yulgarity
