ACCIDENT WITH BLASTING PowDER-Last
Friday week, as Miss Mary Jones and her sister,
who live with their brother, James Jones, near
Pylesville, were engaged in house cleaning, they
came across small bag of blasting powder,
belonging to one of their brothers, who had left
it there several months ago In order to pre-.
vent an accident they determined to dispose OF
it. Accordingly they poured it into basin aud
building fire in the yard, Miss Mary took a
small portion of the powder in her hand, and
threw it on the flames, intending to repeat the
operation until all the powder was consumed.
Contrary to her expectations the powder in igni.
ting set fire to that left in the basin, and all of
it flashed at once, Her face and hands were
severely burned and her hair scorched by the
explosion. Her injuries were painful, and it
was feared that the sight of one of her eyes was
destroyed, but fortunately it was not. She was
attended by DR.. Ki!gore.

Primary Meetings is fast approaching, we present
to the Democrats of Hartford the name of MU IL

decision of the Democratic Primaries
Extract from the HdUyt RepuJicdn March IL,

"Havre de Grace stands on the south shore of
the Susquehanna river just above where it empties
into the Chesapeake bay. 1t has population of
1900. 1t is handsomely laid out and built on an
elevated plain extensive enough 10 contain city
as large as London; mt the foot of beautiful
range of undulatng hills. Travellers and tourists
have always admired the beauty of our location
Our harbor is said to closely resemble that of Rio

varied natural scenery is certainly worthy of a
Located at the mouth of the Susquehanna, a
river extending more than four hundred miles to
the great lakes, and draining as IL does, district
more rich in agricultural and mineral wealth than
any other on the continent, makes Havre de

the great petroleum districts, lumber forests and
anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania, and having

we ship goods at cheap rates of freight, to all

without breaking bulk. We are but two hours
ride per rail, from either Washington Phila-

both by rail and water from Baltimore we have
hourly communication with that city
Being the largest town in the county, with a
population of nearly 5000, and a taxable basis of
one million dollars; with our Fishing and Gun

member of the House of Delegates. For the last
ten years we have asked for nothing else;
We therefore ask the voters of Hartford county
to re-nominate the Hon. Murray Vandiver. He
has served us well, and we are willing to place
our interests in his hands.

complete and equip the road. They examined
critically the grading done between Bel Air and

Bel Air TO Baltimore They were particularly
pleased with the appearance of the country
through which the road is located, and regarded
the slate quarres of Hartford and York counties as
ofgreat importance in supplying large amount
of freight for the proposed road. These and the
great agricultural resources of the country Iy-
ing contiguous to the railroad, convinced them
that the road, when completed, will pay salts
factory interest on the cost of its construction.
SO well satisfied were they of this fact that they

the road will be built. At the same time it

at least be liberal in regard to any claim for
damage which may be sustained If the land
holders along the line OF the contemplated road
act in this spirit it will materially hasten its

 In that way sugar was made years ago and when the sap flowed profusely the operations were continued through the night, and the fires cast strange shadows in the woods. But instead of hut of logs permanent sugar. house is now built, and furnished with many elaborate devices to prevent waste and dete rioration. Formerly, when the naples were tapped with an augur, an fielder quill''was in- serted m the incision to conduct the san into the trough below; that is a small piece of elder wood about three inches long with the pith bored out of it, which formed a tube: put In most orchards to day galvanized iron spout is used, which has the advantage of not sourlng the sap nor choking many pores. Everything is improved" The collections are made with the unvarying order of collec- t1ons from letter boxes, and if the grove is on a hill, and the sugar-house is in a hollow. the sap, as it is gathered, is emptied into

Sugar Making.

w. H. Rideing in Harper's Magazine for Aprill
 Sugar making now and sugar making as it was are very different things, and what it has gained in facility it has lost in picturesque ness. The old camp with it's primitive appi- ances is no more the kettle" has been su- perseded by the ''pan," and the trough is be- come a mass of crumbling decay. The wo- men and children are kept at home, and no longer know the old time delights of ''sugar- ing of, /" though in the Arcadia of the past their services were not despised, and the whole household set up it's abode in the woods.
 The sap was collected then in troughs, each about three feet long, hollowsd out of sec- tions of poplars, and was conveyed to the kettles in barrels. from which it was trans ferred:by scoops. There were five or more ket- ties, from ten to thirty gallons in capacity, and each was filled with sap which was kept boiling, the larger kettles being reflled from the smaller ones, as evaporation reduced the quantity When the contents were reduced to the desired consistency, the hot syrup was dipped out and passed through flannel strainer into covered tubs, from which it was poured into large, thick-bottom kettle for the process of stirring off,, some milk and the whites of several eggs being added to 1t. Thus prepared it was placed over slow fire, and kept just below the boiling point until the sediment and all matters foreign in it hoated to the top and were removed, when 1t became deliciously translucent. It was now exposed to greater heat and gently boiled, the evaporation continuing, and bringing it nearer to the point of granulation Now the sugar maker was all watchfulness, and it fared ill with those who detracted him, for if the golden liquid seething in the kettle boiled the least bit too much it would become dry in quality while if it boiled too little it would become 'ssoggy." He tested it constantly,
