Ret,,rnino from Yorktown.

Battery G, Third U. S. Artillery, ON the return
march from Yorktown, reached this place about
III o'clock on Saturday morning last The first
intimation people had that the battery would
visit us again was the booming of cannon from
the hill about half mile south of the town. The
battery marched up and went into camp on the
vacant lot south of the M. Il. church. The weather
having been very disagreeable for about two
weeks both men and horses presented rather I'M
inviting appearance after trudging through mud
and rain for that length of time On their march
to Yorktown the officers had promised to return
by way of this place and they made their promise
good, notwithstanding the fact that by doing so
they marched considerably out of their way, their
route having been laid out by way Of the Phila-
delphia road to Havre- de- Grace and thence to
Wilmington, Delaware,
On Saturday night Captain st. Clair and the
other commissioned officers of the battery, with
Captain Ridgely and Lieut.. MCLEAN, of the
Towson Guards, were handsomely entertained at
the residence of Judge Grason. The non. COM
missioned officers of the battery desiring to testify
their appreciation of the kindness extended to
them by the Towson Guards, gave an entertain
ment at Watkins restaurant ON the same evening
in honor of the company, and jolly time was
had. On Sunday the officers dined at Hampton,
the residence of Capt. Ridgely, and on Monday
morning, at o'clock the battery resumed its
march, going by way of the Joppa road to the
Philadelphia turnpike detachment of the
Towson Guards, under command of Capt. Ridgely,
escorted them out of town and when they parted
about one mile east of here the battery fired an
other salute.
Many people visited the camp on Sunday and
appeared to take great interest in what they saw.
The men were polite and well behaved and re-
lated many interesting incidents of their long
march to and from Yorktown. They all expressed
themselves as being particularly pleased with the
treatment they received here and carried away
with them many pleasant recollections of the
place.

Successful Entertainment.

Tk&sentertainment of the Towsontown Literary
La S4usical Association at the high school build
ing Oh Friday evening, 18th inst, was the initia-
tory of the Society for the season, and was highly
entertaining and instructive. The programme
consisted of flute solo, with piano accompania-
ment, by Mr.. Benz P. Butler and Miss Mollie Ady,
followed by Mr.. leo. Dillingham;, of Baltimore,
who read three selections, which well render
ed and appreciated by the audience. Major A. M.
Hancock, Of Hartford county, then lectured upon
the subject "Mohammedansm and its Civilization
of Western Europe" It's delivery occupied
hour and twenty minutes and it was listened to
with marked attention. He showed the condition
of the world at the time of Mohammed and the
prevalence of idol worship and the meagre exist
encc and influence of Christianity. He then took
up the life and work of Mohammed, how he taught
the worship of one God and broke up Pagalism
and idolatry in the countries and tribes that
under his teachings and influence. That this work
and influence has spread until one hundred and
seventy five millions of human beings have adopt
ed his teachings and have joined the vast caravan
of pilgrims to Mecca. The lecturer then gave
graphic account of the Mohammedan religion, its
origin, the traditions Of the place and manner of
its birth, its creed, doctrines and teachings its
traditions, claiming for its teachings the age of
eight thousand years. He then portrayed in
strong terms the great influence that Mahommed
and his reg ion had exerted upon the civilization
of Western Europe through the inhabitants of the
foara States and the Moores; how they had in.
troduced the arts and sciences Of the Egyptian
and the Greek among nations that had previously
known nothing but idolatry and led only the life
of the barbarian; how they had built temples,
palaces and mosques such the world had not
known previous to that time; how they erected
aqueducts surprising that of Croton to-day how
they constructed roads and bridges that surpassed
those of Rome in her pamiest days, many of them
costing millions of treasure and remaining to-day
grand monuments of their civilization, devotion to
art science and architecture

From Eklo, 9Th District.

Many Of US of the old 9th, who puzzling
our brains over the political muddle," wonder
ing how and where matters were going to end,
have since the election come down to solid hard
thinking and are trying to devise ways to relieve
ourselves of of the stern realities which beset
us. Among the most formidable of these the
roads, some of which are in horrible and almost
impossible condition. Although we are best
with the "luxury" known as supervisors, we can
not get our claims properly presented before the
powers-that-ne at the county seat. The reason of
this is apparent to every one-they fear decapita-
ton 1t would be a great blessing to some of the
rural districts if this done. Instead of being
useful and blessing to the neighborhood in
which they are supposed to work the roads, they
become a very expensive nuisance that could well
be dispensed with. That these luxuries under
stand their business all will admit, especially pc
destrians, who find the side walks well drained to
the gutter which is generally called the centre
of the road. But we are looking for better things
after the promised visit of one of our Commission
ers, who will no doubt present the true condition
of the roads to the Board, have competent men
to attend to them, and MT persist in forcing the
taxpayers in the rural districts to pay their
money without providing them with passable
highways for getting their products to market
eve would like to say just here that the above
promise was made prior to the election.)
Protracted meetings in order. We
could mention some SIX or eight within radius
of many miles. We expect to join in, soon
the repairs at the old Union completed,
when all supervisors are invited.
We heartily agree with Random" the old
"bean raiser, in regard to organizing literary or
debating societies We claim that every neigh
borhood would be benefited by such society.
But in many localities there is no place for hold
ing such meetings, except the school houses. This
the school laws forbid. Why the patrons are de-
MED their use for such purposes we don't under
stand, when it is a known fact that during the
late campaign some of them were used for holding
political meetings. Will some fthose in authority
please rise and explain, and by so doing oblige
many patrons, among them, your humble servant,

From Philopolis, 9Th District.

Our temperance folks are not discourse ed at the
result Of the late election, considering the oppos
ton in the way Of two other legislative tickets.
No doubt larger vote would have been given for
the submission of the question to the people had
it been presented on the Hartford county plan,
which would not have interferred with either
party. The Temperance Alliance depended much
on church support for the success of the ticket,
but it seems that the way the work was arranged
it did not meet with its hearty endorsement.
Rev. W. 7. D. GLENN preached his fourth SER
mon on Temptation" at Jessop's church on Sun

also be addresses by Mr.. Gotleib Stengle on
"Canned Goods" and by Mr.. Thomas 3. Todd on
"Raising Vegetables" After dinner all the ex-
ercises will be public and questions interesting to

his text "The Beyond, and addressed the audience
in a most feeling manner. Mr. Miles was able to
attend the funeral but his wife, son and daughter
were unable to do so by reason of their continued
illness. Mrs. Richardson had been sick for three
weeks and her condition was thought to be i'm
proving when she suffered relapse and died on
Sunday morning. She leaves a child fifteen
months old Her disease was pneumonia. Mr..

again revived and the usual activity about manu-
featuring villages is noticeable.
The time of year has arrived when all crops,
vegetable and cereal, should be gathered and well
stored. The 9TH of November is the date generally
for all crops to be gathered; after that date the
weather is unpleasant and risky for crops to be

Probably Fatal Shooting.

James Anderson, colored, aged "a years, was
shot and seriously wounded near Melvale, n. G.
r. R., on Saturday night last, by Thomas Jones,
also colored the ball striking him in the eye and
lodging in the neck below the left ear. Ander-
son, who was in the employ of W. c. Denmead,
proprietor of the Baltimore House. No. 126 North
Calvert street. left Calvert station on the l.3O P.
NJ. train. When the train reached Melvale he got
off and walked about 40 yards to the house of
Lewis Bell, colored, and raped at his door. The
occupants of Bells house were all asleep, but
Jones, who lived next door to Bell, hearing the
rapping hosted window in the upper story and
called out several times ''Who is there 2" to which
Anderson made no reply, but kept on rapping.
Jones then lowered the window, got his revolver,
and, again hosting the window, fired, with the
above result. The two men, it seems, had always
been good friends, and both bore good characters
in the neighborhood. Anderson was conveyed to
his fathers house. at Cross Keys, and attended by
DIR. Bowen.

The Franklnville cotton mills, situated the
Baltimore county side of the Little Gunpowder,

turkey that was sin training" for you, and as l
suppose have the honor Of being the party re-
ferred to in the aforementioned hint, am glad to
be able to inform you that to this present moment
said turkey has escaped all the ills and misfor-
tunes that likely to befa his tribe and that
be is in good trim and well Grained" clicking
the beam" at 81 lbs avoirdupois. AS will not
have an opportunity to ship him later than next
Monday night, 1 shall ship him "dressed" and
you can have him WndreSsed yourselves. His
wings and tail will be useful to the frugal house
wife, whilst his beard will make good mucage
brush and the feathers will do to stuff a cushion
to place in the editors easy chair. WEI send in
voice by mail on the day shipment is made. : =
Now that looks like business. But what are
going to do with q lbs. of turkey? We fear
our friend has Grained the bird too WE'LL but we
are willing to undertake the job Of Undressing"
him. His suggestions about the wings feathers
ard beard are good. But we will not make
mucilage brush out of the latter. We have other
and better uses for it. 1t shall be transformed
into a wg-an article we have long greatly needed
and as such will serve as an enduring monu-
