Some Narrow-Gauge Notes.

The first station on the road east OF Loch
Raven is called "Notch Cliff"
Several station houses have been completed
between TOwsontown and Baltimore.
The train that left Baltimore at 9 P. NJ. and
Towsontown at 1890 P. NJ, has been withdrawn.
The freight business of the road is increasing
rapidly and will doubt improve as the line
advances.
From Towsontown to Glenarm and return is
a very pleasant trip and has been enjoyed by a
number of our people.
The officers of the road, with several invited
guests, made tour of inspection on the 9th inst,
and found everything working smoothly and salts
factorily.
William Warner, track hand on the road
while at work short distance east of Towsontown
on Monday, accidentally cut off the front finger of
his left hand with an axe.
The Messrs. McCabe, contractors, are rapidly
pushing their work, the fine weather being greatly
in their favor. Should it continue it is thought
they will have no difficulty in reaching Belair by
Christmas.
On the line between Loeb Raven and the
Gunpowder bridge the branches of the trees brush
the sides of the coaches as they pass. These
should be cut before some one, riding beside an
open window, is injured.
"A quantity of furniture and bedding has been
stored in the waiting room at Towsontown for up
wards of a week. awaiting an owner. Some one
mas suggested JnhI inc SOous WeIo UouBht ~
prospective bridegroom and that his lady-love
having "gone back on him." he has no use for
them. This may be the correct solution of 1T.
An accident occurred at the trestle short
distance from Glenarm station, on Tuesday last,
which resulted in the injury of three of the work
men. A heavy timber was being placed in posi-
ton when it slipped and Wesley Ford had his
right hand very badly mashed; Fred Ramsay had
his right leg hurt and William Parsons was
slightly injured.
The conductors and train men on the road are
very polite and accommodating. Since trips are
being made to Glenarm it is told that country
man, working in field, signaled u train and it
was stopped. Finding the conductor he asked for
a chew of tobacco, which was given him. He
thanked the conductor, bid him good day, and the
train sped on its way. Nothing like being accom-
modating.
Mr.. S. N. Hydeis making preparations to ac-
commodate the travelling public when the road
reaches his place in Long Green Valley. He will
build large stables and shedding for the accommo-
dation of horses and carriages, and will be pre-
pared to feed horses at the small cost of ten cents
per head. Those who bring their own feed will
be accommodated with stable room free of charge.
The station at that point will be called "Hyde's."

Canning and Local Opt1on.-A correspon-
dent of the Beiair Kgis, writing from Long Green
Valley, this county, says: "The several canning
factories of this vicinity have completed their
seasons work, with satisfactory results. The
season has been filled with difficulties to the can
ners, and not the least Of their troubles has been
drunkenness among the hands. We have seen
physically strong men in their sober moments ask
their employers not to give them any money
during the season, however much they might ask
for it, because they could not resist the power of
a neighboring grog-shop. We have seen intelli-
gent men, who when protected from the power of
rum, are useful and valuable citizens, but when
exposed to the temptations of the grOggery have
disregarded sick family and sold the carpet from
off the floor the stove, and even the bed to obtain
money to satisfy that Unsuitable thirst melted by
the licensed rum-trafic. I rejoice that Hartford
has placed the seal of condemnation on the traffic,
and hcpe Baltimore county will soon follow so
grand an example"

Assaulted by a Brutal Negro.-A dastardly

Assaulted by Brutal Negro dastardly
attempt to assault young lady in her bedroom
was made by a colored man on Thursday night of
last week at the residence of Mr.. John I. Mumma,
on the Belair road, near Gardenville. John Jack
son, the coOred man, has been employed as a SER
want since he was boy in Mr.. Mumma's family,
and he is now about q years old. About twelve
o'clock on Thursday night, Miss Annie c. Green,
a niece of Mr.. Mumma, was suddenly awakened
by feeling some attempting to cover her head
with the bed-clothing. Screaming for help, her
cousin, George L. Mumma, rushed into the room
to her assistance and discovered that her assal-
ant was Jackson, who at drew pistol and
dirk-kDife. Mr.. John Mumma, the young lady's
uncle, at this time entered the room with light,
when Jackson fred at him, but fortunately with
out effect. Several of the neighbors hearing the
noise, came to the assistance of the gentlemen,
and they finally succeeded in overpowerng Jack
son after a desperate struggle County police
man Ford took Jackson to tho Waverly Station
house. where Justice Gallagher committed him for
the action of the grand jury.

Will be as "alsy as they can.
If her love sparkling eyes can roll no more
Upon the scenes they lit with joy before,
If upward only she can now ascend,
Let mists and darkness not horror lend.
If darksome paths for grosser souls are made,
And heavy burdens on their backs are laid,
Steal her passage by aerial way
Through mundane shadows to eternal day.
Another temperance lesson from life has just
been shown up among in the death of both the
drinker and his wife. tits from among "the short
and simple annals of the poor but is nevertheless
demonstrative A stone cutter with good trade
gets high every time he gets his pay. Every spell
doubles in force on the preceding one until final
ly he turns into putrid specimen of humanity on
a sick and dying couch. The ever faithful wife,
with which drinkers always seem to be blest,
nurses him till death, and two weeks afterward is
corpse herself from blood poisoning induced
from the nursing. The neighbOring saloon keeper
proves in death, as he was in life, the dead mans
best friend, and settles up the "estate" pot is
sold here, jug there, bed somewhere else He
also finds places for the children to work out and
nothing living remains of what might have been
for long years happy home but the immortal cur
coled at the back door vainly waiting for his mis-
tresss voice and his bone of hog.
o Death all eloquent you truly prove
What dust girls dote on, when It's drink men love.
Our Mr. Gerlng is man that is not afraid to
buy house that is struck by lightning every now
and then and inhabited by hob-gobins. That
house is on Ingeside avenue. He will put up
rod to avert the slippery element, shoulder-hit a
few hob COLLINS if they put in an appearance ram
one of the new fashioned artesian pumps down in
the yard, fill up the well in the cellar, fix up the
habitaton all round, and then ask the boys what
they think of it. People about here don't always
believe that well in cellar is as attractive to
lightning as a milk in ud-pudde is to a
plow-boy. X.

Motion Overruled.-In the Circuit Court
here on Saturday last, in the equity of ]. Sum
merfeld Crowther VS.. the president, managers,
etc., of the Baltimore and Yorktown Turnpike
road, the motion to quash the writ of summons
was argued and overruled. The ground taken by
the respondent in favor of this motion was that
the suit was improperly instituted here, as it
claimed the residence (chief Office etc.,, of respon
dents were in the city of Baltimore. The court
ruled that as the company exercised its rights of
franchise, did business, etc., in the county, and
was chartered prior to the general act of incorpo-
ration, the suit was properly instituted here
This is suit for damages for injuries sustained
by Mr.. Crowther while driving on the turnpike
Merryman found Guilty.-James Merry
man, who has been on trial at Pttsburg, Pa,
charged with the murder of Emma Huey by ad-
ministerng to her oil of tansy for the purpose of
producing an abortion, has been found guilty on
the third count in the indictment, which charged
the administration of drugs resulting in the death
of Miss Huey. The highest penalty for the crime
is seven years in the penitentiary and fine Of
Exchange.
Merryman is a native of Baltimore county and
has relatives living here. He is young married
man and previous to this difficulty had born a
good character.

Interesting Religious Ceremonies
Dunkard meeting in the u b. Church, at Wood
berry, which was in progress during all of last
week. was concluded on Saturday afternoon and
evening with baptism, washing of the feet the
Lords Supper and communion. The exercises
were conducted by Chief Elder Solomon Stoner of
Uniontown, Carroll county, Nd, assisted by
Elders John Flory, of Rockingham county, Va. /;
VIM Franklin, w. E. Stoner, of Carroll county ;
]. D.. Trostle, of Linganore, Frederick county,
Nd: Jacob Sbamberger, Baltimore county and
Uriah Bxler, Carroll county. The ceremony of
baptizing took place in Joness falls, the
Clipper MILL The candidate was Sarah Nichols,
40 years of age. She resides near Philadelphia.
The ceremony consisted of profession of faith
and the usual form of words, and three dimensions
in the water. The novelty of the ceremony at
tracted crowds of persons to the banks of the
stream The Lords Supper consisted Of a full
meal and was taken in the evening by the mem
bers at the tables prepared for this purpose in
from. of the preachers stand or pulpit; the mem
bers at first seating themselves at table, then
rising from the table went through the ceremony
of feet-washing. The men taking off their coats
and girding themselves about the waist with
towels washed and wiped each others feet in
basins Of water, the women at the same time going
through the same ceremony. This done, they re-
sumed their places at the table and partook of
supper, at the close of which the communion, con-
sisting of uneavened bread and cup of wine,
was administered by the presiding elder. During
all the ceremonies explanation of the same were
given by the different elders present. There were
present about eighty members, most of whom had
come from distant homes. The church was
crowded with spectators

The Old and the New Court.--Just before
the adjournment of court on Wednesday afternoon,
Judge Grason, from the bench, made some very
feeling remarks, in which he returned acknowedg-
ment to all officers of the court, including MEM
bers of the bar, clerks, sheriff. baiffs, juries, etc.,
for the uniform courtesy and kindness with which
he had been treated during his official term, by
them ALL He referred specially to his pleasant
relations with his brother members of the bench,
and the kindly and cordial treatment and the sup
port in the discharge of his duties he had received
at their hands. He also said that he had always
endeavOred to discharge the dnties of his office
conscertously and faithfully, and without fear
or favor. No doubt he had committed errors,
which we are all liable to do. but he had never
done so Intentionally. If, in his efforts to admin
lister justice from the bench, he had been unduly
harsh to, or wronged in the slightest manner, any
member Of the bar or other person, he desired now
to apologize for the same. In conclusion, on
closing his official term, he wished all with whom
his official relations had brought him in contact
happy and prosperous future.
Judge Grason's remarks were received with pro-
found silence. Every one present was deeply af-
fected, and was also the Judge, who now retires
to private life, carrying with him the respect and
good will of hosts of friends.
Shortly after the adjournment of Court Judge
YelIott and Hon. David Fowler repaired to the
Judges private room where the oath of Office was
administered to them by the Clerk, and on Thurs
day Judge Yeott took his place upon the bench
as Chief Judge. Judge Fowler will likely assume
his duties to-day.
Judge Grason will at once resume the practice
of his profession and it is hoped he may meet with
success.

Gambling at County Fairs.-What the
Cecil county Nevs says on this subject applies
with as much force to our county fair as it
does to that of Cecil, and we invite the attention
of the managers of our fair to the following "a
grand jury of an adjoining State has found an in
dictment against an Agricultural Society for per-
hitting gambling by means of wheel of fortune,
etc., upon its grounds This is striking at the
root of great evil and by simply turning public
attention to it should prove sufficient to work
very needed reform in the management of such
institutions. Why class of vagabOnd sharks
and sharpers should be turned loose at almost
every county fair in the country, to cajole and
rob at will the large crowds of simple minded
youth and men that are attracted thither for pas
times in the line of their everyday vacations, is
hard to understand and harder to justify. The
catchpenny nuisances that throng every agricul-
tural exhibition in the form of "fat woman" and
"sword- eating men" shows are bad enough, but
they are intellectually less mischievOus both in
their results and tendencies than the gambling
plate pitch Trolling contrivances that lure the
unwary at every turn and corner. That the
pleasures and benefits of our recent county fair
were sadly marred by these unssemly and illegal
infamies, all noticed and commented on. Let the
warning of the above grand jury be needed by our
managers now that their attention has been
directed to the evil, and all gambling contrivan-
ces of whatever nature, be excluded from the fair
grounds"
