On Thursday afternoon of last week Frank
linville cotton mills, on the Little Gunpowder,
near Upper Falls, Baltimore county, were DIES.
troyed by fire, entailing loss of about $40, 200,
and throwing nearly 100 persons out of employ
ment. The fire originated in the picier-h house
from some foreign substance in the cotton going
through the picker, as stated, causing friction,
which started the con1agration. The flames
broke out about 430 and spread rapidly. The
mill building had been used for many years, and
the floors and wood work were we'll saturated
with oil, which added fuel to the flames The
people only had buckets of water with which
to fight the fire. The roof OF the mill fell in at
6 P. NJ. The mill and picker-house were burned,
and the tenements and other buildings were
saved. The mill was large flvestory and base
ment brick-and-stone structure The property
is owned by Mrs. Arianna Loney, of Baltimore,
and Mr.. Albert A. Blakeney was the lessee. The
products were duck, osnaburgs and warps, and
Messrs. Woodward, Baldwin IL Norris of Balti-
more sold the goods. The mill and machinery
were insured for $4,000 The loss is estimated
at S35 600, and it was stated that the owner re-
Gently intended to put $40 900 more on the prop

stock was $500 which covered the loss The
the present owner are not encouraging, but
there will be no difficulty for the operatives to
get employment elsewhere. There are thirty

turning the Top Rails.

When Vicksburg fell, Gen A. j. Smith
was sent to Columbus, Mics, and reliev.
ed Gen. Asboth. While upon an expee
dition soon after into Tennessee, The
Federal soldiers, as was-very often the
case, made their camp 6res Of fence rails.
One evening o native came to General
Smiths tent and complained in very
forcihle language that the soldiers were
burning bis fence rails. The General
replied that he had given strict orders
that the soldiers should take no rails
but the Top ones, and if he could discover
any OF them disoheying orders he would
have them punished, and told the man
to 60 and see II they were taking any
thing but the top rail. In few minutes
he returned, saying that they were taxi
ing everything on the fence. Tie fence
was fast disappearing The General
started with him to find the culprits.
The complaining na.ive said:
."Don't you see 2"
..Yes," replied the General. "But 1
see they only take the top rail"
"Yes; but they commence at the top
and go clear to the ground"
Exactly but you can't point out one
Of my soldiers taking any rail but the
0 ,e on top" ~
This was too much for the non:com-
blatant. and with, an indescribable look
on bis face, he turned and walked of.

FACTS.

Those contemplating . trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aomfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesots.
etc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead

Finally. the patient assuming recum-
