New Windsor Items.

On Monday last, after lingering and pain
full illness, Emily Werder, native of Rano-
yer, Germany, was buried in the little church
yard, at Winters church. She leaves FIVE
motherless children and an aged mother.
During her illness the people of the town and
surrounding country did all in their power to
alleviate her sufferings, and the great con.
course of people at her funeral attested their
respect for her.
In contrast with this sad scene, another
great crowd assembled at the same place, not
not to witness funeral ceremonies, but the
celebration of the marriage rite. The nup-
tials of Mr.. Samuel Benedict and Miss Mary
c. Smelzer, second daughter of William Smell
ger, Esq, were celebrated at Winters
O'Clock, Rev. d. B. Floyd officiating. The
church was literally packed with people.
Nearly two hundred sleighs were hitched
around the church.

Our citizens are making good use of the
fine sleighing Sleighing parties are out al
most every night, and there is scarcely an
aunte or cousin within radius of five miles
that has not been visited.
On last Wednesday evening two sleds and
six sleigh loads of young folks visited Mr.
Jacob Skaters, near Bachman's Mills, and
shortly after their arrival about the same
number arrived from Stonersville. Each
party went provided with music for dancing
and they enjoyed pleasant time. A young
man from town, by some means exchanged
hats, and thinks he is 'out' about two by

SykPSViIIe Items,

Ground was broken in the Sprin gfield mines
on the 18th, which virtually seals the con-
tract That the mines will be worked is no
longer a matter of speculation, but fixed
fact. Mr.. Stickney, junior member OF the
firm of Read, Stickney & Sons, was here with
a Mr. Williams, a practical miner, who will
have charge of the mines. The operations at
first will not be on very large scale, but by
the first of April, if everything promises well,
one hundred men will be put to work
The future of Sykesyille certainly promises
well. Mr. Samuel R. Duvall will erect a
large agricultural warehouse in the Spring,
sixty by twenty feet, three stories high. Mr..
John Harris will build large harness shop
on the land recently purchased from Dr. A.
C. Hammond All these improvements will
be on the Carroll county side.
We have waited patiently for some of your
correspondents to say something about your
liberal offer to farmer boys. We mean the
prize for the best acre of corn. AS it has
fallen on us first to speak, we must say you
have done nobly, and we hope the boys of
Carroll county will go to work to win the
prize and surpass, if they can, the yield Of
their Hartford county neighbors.
The seghing is good here yet, excepting
few bare places in the village, and the
seighing club of this district, comprising
some fifteen couples, are out every night.
Dancing and card parties are now the amuse
ments. On Tuesday night they met at the
residence of Mr.. Chas. d. Warfield. Draper
was on hand, and more enjoyable affair has
not occurred during the sleighing season. 1t
is now proposed to have a sleighing carnival,
to terminate at Westminster.
