From Phiiopolis, 9Th District.-The IN.
welcome visitor, Death, has removed from our
midst another loved one. the faithful wife Of Mr..
Thomas Tansley, 81. She departed this life on
the Sd Inst, and was buried on the sth at Jsssops
church, kev. J. N. Davis ofieiaiins: The servi.
ees were very impressive and the sad circumstan-
ees called for the deepest sympathy for the b.
reaved friends. Deceased was . member Of Jes-
sop's church and had always manifested the true
christian spirit and character In that she cared
for those who were homeless and fathsrless. Not
less than hftsen children have been taken care Of
BY her and provided with the necessary comforts
and attention. She leaves . husband aud two
children 10 mourn their loss. The son, Mr.. Thos.
Tansley, Jr., and wife, wore not at the funeral,
they being in Europe, having started three weeks
previous.
Thieves are stiii active in this nsig hborhood and
losses from their depredations are frequent. I
learn that Mr.. Thos. Armacost ofthe 9Th district,
was robbed Of . light spring wagon; Mr.. Aquilia
Matthews OF . wagon-saddls and halter; Mr.
George X. NOVEL; Of horse bucket, and Mr..
Beaie Price OF three bushels Of peaches. No
arrests have been made.
am informed that new earth has been placed
on the pike at the turn Of the road leading TO Bel
fast, near the residence OF Mr.. A. Matthews. This
has been dangerous place and the new earth not
having settled sufficiently, and some Of our citizens
not aware Of the true condition Of the road have
been unfortunate. Mr.. W. Henry Ensor had
load Of hay upset, and on the Sth inst. several
members Of Mr.. Z. Parsons family, while driving
At night, upset their carriage. breaking the top
Oh. Fortunately the driver caught the horse and
prevented . serious disaster. The occupants Of
the carriage escaped injury. The superintendent
aud workmen on tho pike should be very careful
aud not permit anything calculated 20 cause acct
dents. Our people are glad to see that at last .
culvert has been placed on the pike near the IL
mile stone. II was needed for years and was only
placed there after an urgent and united appeal on
the part Of our citizens.
The next quarterly meeting Of the Society Of
Friends will be held Saturday and Sunday next,
September 9th and 10th. Services will commence
at 10 A. NJ, and will be well for all who attend
TO bear this In mind.
Farmers are busy preparing their ground for
grain. Most Of them have finished piowing and
will begin seeding In . short time. No corn has
yet been cut OF. Il 10 still very green owing 20
the late rains. Our country has indeed thrifty
appearance, the corn and pasture-helds bearing
evidence that the land Is being improved.
Owing to the funeral Of Mrs. Tansiey on Tues.
day last our temperance friends were prevented
from attending the convention nj Towsontown.
They still interested in the work and are look
ing forward for good results. They are pleased to
know that our county Agricultural Society has
prohibited the sale Of intoxicants on tho fair
grounds. PniLoroLis.

Thursday. 3ist ult., near Beckicy sviiic. lie left
his home in the afternoon for the purpose of chop
ping some wood and not returning nj the usual
time. search was made and he was found dead.
II 10 stated that he had an attack Of paralysis
some time ago and recOy cred. and Il 10 supposed
that q second attack caused his death.
On Sunday last VIM. shauck. son Of J. y.
Shauek. living near Middie,own, died suddenly.
In the 2sth year Of his age. lie had been subject
TO bleeding at the nose for several years and had

date cause Of his death.
Reuben II. winehoit. Of Middletown, 10 suffer.
ing with typhoid fever. and WIN. II. Stfler, of
Partition, has been quite III for several days.
On Sunday evening last the Upper End va.
visited with the heaviest rain that has fallen for
several years. Abraham Hare's saw. mill and the
county bridge across Grave Run. near she mill.
were washed away. The water backed into Valen.
tine Bollinger's paper mill, on the Gunpowder
falls, and dana ged 200 Of paper. and washed
= lot Of wood and straw away. The water did
considerable damage around VIM. II. Hoffman 4
Sons "Hoekdale" mill The roads are badly
washed. being almost impossible in places. and
fencing. hay stacks. &C., on the bottom lands al
jacent to the larger streams have been pretty
generally washed away.
The present season has been as pr0pitious as the
farmers could have wished for. Wheat and rye
are yielding beyond the expectation u the most
shnsuine. NoTh anu tate potatoes nave had ABOUT
all the rain that has been necessary TO insure at
least, an average yield.
The paper mills are becoming over. stocked with
straw. New bundled rye straw has not brought
over $40 per ton, and some Of the manufacturer
propose 20 reduce IL 10 - per ton in the near fu.
ture. Yet. Notwithstanding & the Low prices farmers
are preparing to SOW . larger acreage. and the de-
mand for fertilizer Is more brisk than ever, the
agent Of the Maryland Company having sold over
100 tons in this section. which will be mostly
sown rye.
Political matters are warming up among our
Democratic friends. The contest for Judges
promises 10 be warm. As far ~ I have been able
20 observe the opponents Of Judge Grason and the
School Board appear 90 be the most numerous.
The people Of Middietown are 20 have . new
school house soon, as the old one has become too
small 20 accommodate the Increasing number Of
pupils. IL is currently reported that Commits.
sOner Gore disposed Of the old building At Jrirate
'ais for q much lower sum than 10 would have
brought IL IL had been offered at public sale. Last
weak he made an effort 10 deliver the building to
the purchaser but all efforts proved fruitless, a.
the building refused 60 be moved. and IL still
stands, on what has been left of the original
foundation, A. \ monument Of stubbornness.
