er sets in and it will be finished in the spring.
DO our people intend to give heed to the

appearance. They should be raked up and burn
ed or carted away.
The Baltimore Sun copies in full the report
of our sanitary inspector, DR.. Piper, and makes
it tae subject of leading editorial headed "The

space this week prevents our publishing the edi
toral in full.
The old family horse of Rev. w. T. D. GLENN,

usefulness and getting down in the stable, and
being unable to rise, was mercifully shot. The
horse about II years old and had served his
owner faithfully for more than ten years.
Our old friend, Col. John Wills, the "Nestor"
of The UNION, spent Tuesday with us in Tow
sontown He came out by the Maryland Central

the present eastern terminus of the road. He ex
pressed himself as being much pleased with the
new road, its equipment &c.
Several citizens on the east side of the town
had been missing their chickens and could not
account for the loss. Finally dead 'possum
was found in one of the gardens, whore the dogs
had caught and killed it, and upon search being
made, another found in stable. They
had been feasting the fowls.
The Baltimore Day of Wednesday says: "The
Sm's leading editorial this morning is entitled
"The Insanitary Condition of Towsontown." We
always had our doubts to the future of the lit
tie village unless it was annexed to Baltimore,
but were unprepared to hear of such a catastrophe
Let us hope that the disease is of mild type, and
that cure will soon be effected"
There is said to be a pretty little romance
connected with the visit of the battery of U. s.
Artillery to this place, in October, 1881, while on
its way to the Yorktown celebration. One of the
young Sargeants became acquainted with young
lady and was smitten with her charms. He has
since made couple of pilgrimages to Towson-
town and it is reported now that the twain are
soon to be made one. Stranger things than this
have happened.
