The OriOle Festival.

The preparations for the Oriole Festival, to
be held at Baltimore week after next, are near
ly completed. Cecilius, Lord Baltimore, has
issued his edict, which will doubtless be
readily obeyed, commanding the transporta-
ton lines to reduce their fares for the occa-
sion, and ordering all public places and
places of business to be closed on his arrival.
On Tuesday, September 18th, the Anniver-
sary Of the Battle of North Point will be
celebrated by grand military parade, in
which between 5000 and 5000 soldiers will
participate In the afternoon competitive
drills will take place at Druid Hill Park.
On Wednesday, September 18th, his honor
Cecilius, Lord Baltimore, will land from a
palace steamer at one of the wharves, amid
salvos of artillery, music of bands and the
presence of the populace. He will be escort
ed to the City Hall by numerous cavalcade
of richly attired courtiers, forming brilliant
spectacle series of tabieaux, illustrative
ofthe city's advancement will also form part of
the procession. AT the City Hall the keys
of the city will be delivered to him.
On Thursday, September 18th, the mystic
pageant will take place. The city will be
brilliantly illuminated by electric lights, and
Greek fire and fireworks will mark the line
of march, The procession will contain forty
floats, besides the thirty tableaux of the Or
der of the Oriole. The affair will terminate
with series of tableaux at the Academy of
Music, and full dress ball, for which five
thousand invitations have been issued.
1t is expected the pageant will eclipse any
thing of the kind ever before attempted in
Baltimore, and will attract thousands of
strangers to the city.

A Good Road.

One evening last week we had occasion to pass
over the road from wind Mill Hill to Mr..
George kenly s, which has been recently repaired
by Mr.. Thomas Dever. Now allow me to say q
word in regard to the mending OF this road. Mfr.
Dover Is one of the ablest supervisors in the coun
ty, and in the present case has excelled all his
former attempts at improving the public thor
oughfares Upon the road in question, he used
one of the improved scrapers, widening the road
in many places, leaving the middle full and grad
ually sloping either way, with good channel for
the water on each side, thereby giving security
for a good road for all time. Another important
feature which claims the attention of Mr.. Dever
and one neglected by so many supervisors is the
removal of all loose stones from the bed of the
road We think this a very essential point in the
keeping of a road, for what is more annoying
when driving than the constant jolting occasioncd
by passing over loose stones, which, If removed,
would leave the road smooth and even. In con-
be glad to see Mr.. Dever placed In charge of more
roads in this section, as some of them are in q
very bad condition. AN OBSERVER.

privilege of voting is one that is too import.
ant to be lightly cast aside, and every man
should therefore qualify himself to exercise
the right of suffrage, whether he afterwards
avails himself of it or not Remember that
no one can vote next fall who is not register
cd this year.

DISEASE AMONG ToMAToEs.-An exchange
says:
II. c. Ellison, of Middle Neck, Cecil county,
has lost by peculiar and seemingly new disease
nearly his whole tomato crop of 1000 plants
His plants were growing nicely and were filled
with fruit, when about the beginning of the re-
cent rains the leaves began to wither and die
Upon examination Mr.. Ellison found that the
heart of the plants had turned black. Within
a few days after this discovery nearly all the
plants in the field were dead. Not more than
500 of 1000 are now alive.
The disease mentioned is probably caused by
the small white grub said to be affecting some
of the tomato fields in Hartford.
