Our Rayvile correspondent, in his letter
this week, records an accident which we should
not be surprised to see repeated in TowsontOwn

over it every day. Won't some one see that this
death trap is made secure?

The English sparrows-whch are little less
than a nuisance-take charge of all the bird
boxes and we have noticed some lively contests
between them and the wrens and other birds
which fight vigorously for their rights. AS the
sparrows remain with all winter they have the
advantage all other birds, often occupying
the boxes all winter and will not give them up
without struggle.

If DIR. J. RObt. Ward, member of the State
Board of Health, expects to improve the sanitary
condition of TOwsontown he will have to visit the
place oftener. Hog pens must be abolished and
there are some other matters which require atten-
ton, notably an extremely filthy alley running in
to one of the principal streets of the town. We
hope citizens will render DIR. Ward every as
sistance the health of our families depend
largely upon this very important matter.
"A stranger visiting TOwsontown at this
season of the year does not hesitate to pronounce
it one of the prettiest places in the country. 1t
has beautiful and abundant shade, good walks and
avenues and the drives around the town are un-
surpassed There many advantages about
Towsontown which make it very desirable
Summer residence and when we get a steam rail
road these will become more apparent. Quick

make it boom.

for what they have been saying about the Belt,

chins, policemen, &c with celebrity truly
velous. Finally ball from blue-coat's pistol
settled the business for this brave defender of the
rights of outraged people, and he will "butt"
no more. You will excuse us for saying, "BuIly
for that goat" Would that we had million like
this noble fellow that I'VE might drive them into
the city and reduce it to subsection.
Henry NJ. Fitzhugh, Esq, an excellent au-
thOrity, says that the common way of spelling
Dulany's Valey-one of the richest and most
beautiful sections of Maryland-is wrong. The
proper way is Lam 5 and not -u--a-n-e-y's
handsome engraving of Daniel Dulany, in his
time eminent barrister Of Maryland and
member of the family from which this Valley de-
rived its name, hangs in our Office, and below the
picture is the autograph of Mr.. Dulany, plainly
written, and without the in the last syllable.
This ought to settle the question as to the spell
ing of the name
