- Some "lunny' young fcli1ws at CaIverton
played n foolish practical joke on the county ere.
men last Saturday night. They built n large bon
hTc aud then sent n messenger 60 the Frederick
road police station to give an alarm OF iirc. The
engine company at that place responded and on
the way to the supposed FIRE tho apparatus was
upset, damaging u considerably. Those funny
fellows ought 10 be punished for such jokes.
The inquisitiOns of the Baltimore and Del

The Hanover (Pa.) Spectator 10 response
bic for this story at u reported by some Of the
train hands on tho baltimore 4 Hanover railroad
that an enormous wild cat has taken up its quar-
tcrs In n woods near Emory Grove, at the termi-
nus Of that road, aud makes the night perfectly
hileous with its fearful screams. Some Of our
old hunters speak Of paying that locality . visit
shortly, in the endeavor to kill or capture the
"yarmint."'
1t is time now that our people were taking
some action looking 10 the Incorporation Of Tow
sontown. The Legislature meets In January and
the plans ought TO be fully matured before that
time. Don't let us delay this matter two years
longer. We trust some Of our prominent citizens
and property owners will give their attention to
e. The election will be over next week and q
public meeting ought to be called As soon there
after as possible.

Running on the New Road.

The Grsi locomotive built for the Baltimore and
Delta narrow-gauge railroad arrived in baltimore
on Thursday Of last week and on Friday 10 made
trial trip over the road, running out three miles
and return. The officers ofthe road, accompanied
by several other gentlemen. made the trip.
The engine Is much larger than one would expect
20 see on a narrow gauge road. II was built at
the Brooks Locomotive Works, Dunkirk, n. Y,
has six driving wheels. each IL inches diameter.
The cylisders II inches diameter and Is inches
stroke. The frebox, boiler, cross head, &C., are
made of steel The weight Of the engineis Is, 900
pounds, and the cost. delivered in Baltimore, was
$4,000. The name Of the engine, "Enoch Pratt"
appears In letters Of gold both sides Of the en-
gineer's cab.
platform car was transformed into passen-
ger coach by improvising seats with eross-ties,
and as soon rs steam was raised the party got
aboard the impromptu car. The "Enoch Pratt"
came up behind and gave the impetus which
started tho load in the right direction toward BEL
air land the intermediate stations" The train
moved slowly up the grade. crossing Falls road,
passing Mount Vernon and through Remington
avenue tunasl, halted near Merryman's lane.
Crowds Of women and children along the
route eheered the novel sight.
Riding on the soft side Of crosstie placed
upon platform car Is good test Of the smooth.
ness or roughness Of road, and all agreed that
the new road was smoothness itself. The road IL
well hallasied with rock aud gravel, and every
thing appeared 10 be well and substantially done.
The locomotive engineer was II. s. Reichard, and
the fireman was Edward Rodgers.

sof.ening Towards the Belsisss.

At the weekly meeting Of the City Fire Com.
nissioners. held on the 2sth, Mayor Latrobe, in
a few brief remarks, referred TO the fact that the
Commissioners Of Baltimore county have taken
steps to protect the property In the Belt by or.
CANNING IRE department.. But an occasion
might occur when their department might not be
able TO cope with . large conaagration, and in
such an event Il would only be just and humane
that the city should render assistance the same as
would be given to other cities. lie offered the
following. which was adopted:
"wHEREas, The Baltimore County Commis-
sioners have organized Q ere department for the
protection of property located In what 10 known
as the Belt, consisting Of seven chemical engine
companies and the hook and ladder companies.
which department Is able to cope successfully with
any ordinary Ere.
"Rs.oissd, That In the event Of ars occurring
In the Belt, and getting beyond the control Of the
department, and the Gre department Of Baltimore
u called upon for aid by the county authorities,
the chief engineer Of this department is hereby
authorized To send 10 their assistance such appa-
ratus ~ he may deem necessary"
The County Commissioners, at their meeting
this week, rendered vote of thanks 20 the City
Fire commissiOners for this generous action.

pioy our own resources for recreation. We have
established an association composed Of both sexes
and which partakes Of the combined character Of
religious, literary, musical and social, and these
four elements harmonire delightfully."-. The few
meetings We have held were Of q very superior
character, consisting Of music lectures and read
ings. The sherwood Glee Club" generously
came to our help on the opening night and treated
us TO some Of their best pieces. performed In =
style which ELECTED the admiration Of all present.

word, he spoke Of the cause Of the destruction Of
our eabbagos aud stated the remarkable fact that
the caterpillars ef more than dosen different In.

The oovans.own Possof,ice

The Washington ID. CO. Critic Of Friday Of last
week says: "Quite an exciting scene occurred to-
day in the room Of Postmaster. General James. II
grew out Of a long-ttanding contest n TO the Go.
yanstown Postofice, Baltimore county. The post.
master died some time since, and numerous appii.
cations for the office have been filed and numerous
petitioners for the vacancy have bored the depart.
ment. To settle the subject Of the successor of
the deceased postmaster, Special Agent Vim. +.
Henderson, ol the Postoficc Department. was sent
20 Goyanstown to look into the matter. Mr. Hen
derson very sensibly ended the affair by. allowing
the citizens Of the township To select, by vote,
their own postHaster, aud they chose Mr.. Norris.
To-day, before the report Of the special agent had
even tecn read By the Postinasier. General. Mr..
Burlcigh. lawyer of Baltimore county, and at
tornsy for the widow Of the deceased postmaster,
acting In her interest o. obtain the vacancy for
her. appeared at the Postofice Department dc
nounciLg the report Of the special agent To the
Postmaster. General. Mr.. Henderson, who was
present. met Burlcigh's attack in vigorous man
ner. lie charged him with being paid attorney
by the widow of the deceased. This Mr.. Darlcigh
denied. but lenderson proved u conclusiveiy. and
characterized him point blank as "a liar and no
gentleman" That settled the matter, aud Mr..
Burleigh left. The action OF Mr. Henderson IL
approved by the department, and Mr. Norris will
be confirmed postmastcr."
The SHR's Washington correspondent writes As
follows under date Of Oct. 3is, at Is understoOd
NJ tue fostomco department that tue matter OF
the location Of the Office aud appointment Of post
master at Govanstown will not be finally decided
until the return OF the new First Assistant Post

hibitei on the subject at the department, and
your correspondent was assured this afternoon
that more trouble and vexation had been caused
the department In the last two years by the squab
b!cs and disscnsions over the Govanstown post
Office than by the affairs Of any other postofce In
the United States. While. as above stated. the
formal decision will be reserved until the return
