us our very quiet village has received consider
able addition to her population, and we expect
still larger increase as the weather grows warmer
Our locality is proverbialy healthy, and man,
families, members of which may be in bad health
are banished from the city by their physicians
and some come here who are told to go to Luther
vile. We have several notable in our vii
hge, of men of business, who were completely
broken down physically, and sent here by the
physicians, who are now hale and hearty. Other
come here but for season and go away greatly

duct of persons on the hunt of board. Though
they may be invalids, sent to the country to re
cruit yet the question most generally asked il
reference to any particular boarding house is
"what kind of table do they set, instead of il

We are glad to be able to give all a satisfactory
answer to the most important question in reference
to our boarding houses.
The Ladies' Mite Society of st. PauPs Lutheran
Church of our place held title festival in the
pleasant grounds of Mr.. Andrew Reese, whose
heart and hand is in every good work, and real
lied the neat little sum of $73.45. A pretty good
showing for a small village and small festival
but patronzed by people with big hearts. AL
though held for the benefit of the Lutheran con-
gregation, vet the members of the NJ. Z. Church
by their presence and patronage, added much to
the success of the affair. Even TowsOntOwn con-
tributed her quote, in the shape of elegant cake
from the wife of one of the editors of your paper
which the writer knows was good, because "the
proof of the pudding is the eating thereof"
On last Sunday Prof. Dimm preached his an
nual sermon to the graduating class, from the
words, 'Be We perfect" l cannot here give even
an outline of the sermon, but it was full of wise
counsel and good advice, not only to the class for
which it was intended especially, but for all. We
hear that the prospects for large school next
year are fattering.
The N. c. Railroad Company has had a large
force of mechanics and laborers at work erecting
a large pavilion and clearing the grove just north
of this place of all underground, &C., and now
have beautiful picnic ground within one hun
dred yards of their road, where they have laid a
substantial platform. The present managers of
this road are a set of wide-awake men. The road
bed was never in such splendid condition, smooth
as floor and solid as granite rock. The pas
senger cars are simply luxurious. The motive
power is in perfect order and the business of the
road for the last six months has been immense
We see cars passing up and down daily bearing
the names of all the roads in the West one would
think. Let me give you n few-Wabash r. R.,
MlcHlRdu OeHlTdl W. H., OulcdRO anu N. w II.
R., Pekin Lincoln and Decatur, Chicago and Ne
braska, Lafayette, Quincy and Mississippi r. R.,
and l was going to say hundreds of others. All
this is the result of the push, pluck and energy
which characteriZes the management of the road
at present.
The Sunday School of the Sd Reformed Church
held picnic in the N. C. R. w. grounds, just
outside of our village, last Saturday, and we hear
that others are coming this week. The grove is a

protection in case of storm ample. We hope to
see the grounds occupied many days during the
summer. Many will remember the grove the
place where the Changers had their picnic last
fall, but the grounds have been much improved
and beautifed since then. RESIDENT.

The Tdr- Payers Meefing-LOcaL Option-The
"Dirining Rod" Gc.-The rapidly changing color
of our wheat fields admonish us the necessity of
having the reaper in proper condition at short
notice. think some of us hereabouts will have
to commence the latter part of the present week,
and so far as my observation has extended the
crop makes very good appearance. There is
some complaint of "fy," but have not seen any
signs of them.
The hail storm of last week did considerable
damage to the crops in portions of the 18th dis
The continued late frosts did much injury to
fruit in this neighborhood Strawberries were al
most ruined, peaches and apples are falling Off
and many that may remain on the trees will be
knotty from the effects of the cold.
Our p. w. and B. railroad is certainly one of
the best in the country, but modification of some
of their rules would beget more friendly feeling.
For instance, if you get to the station little late
and have to pay fare to the conductor you must

annoying regulations, but many persons who wish
to use the cars fail to understand why they are So
The meeting of Baltimore county taxpayers in
Baltimore on Saturday was well attended, suf-
ficient number and of the right material for the
transaction of business, being present.. There
seemed to be determination to do what they met
to do, and no doubt the results to follow their ac-
ton will be both beneficial and lasting. l sup
pose you have an account of their proceedings.
Cannot "tax-payers" and "local option" work to-
gether in harmony, for the selection of delegates
to the next Assembly Many persons are of the
opinion that whisky drinking causes the largest
part of our taxation: local option or such licenses
as would almost amount to prohibition, would
Danish much of this curse from our midst. Many
weak minded men drink because the temptation
is constantly in their way and would rejoice if
whisky was out of their reach

found a stream of water six feet from the old well
