Pleasant Entertain ent.

Miss Minnie Morgan, of Washington and
Misses Mamie and Helen Sloan, of Baltimore
are at present visiting the family of Judge
Stone at Idaho. The young folks of the
neighborhood were invited outon Friday nigh
last, to meet these ladies, and on that occasion
the hospitable mansion OF the Judge was scene
Of u recherche and most enjoyable social gath
ering. The genial and hoSpitable Judge and
his pleasant and accommodating wife assisted
by their charming daughters were most assid-
uous in their kind attention to the guests, and
were highly successful in making the evening
an entertaining and pleasant one.

A Novel Fight.

We saw a novel fight between swallow
and cat en- Monday morning last on one OF
our public streets and We watched the combat
with interest and were greatly surprise al the
result. From some Cause tn. bird took offence
at something TIE Cat had done and made a
fierce onslaught on her feline majesty. The
swallow would sail u short distance in the air
aud then swoop down on pus>y'S back with
lightning speed peck her severely and then fly
out of the way before the cat could get her
claws TO work on him. This was repeated
several times the swallow always getting in
home ticks and pussy was not able TO give him
even a roduder. This sort OF fun soon became
too much for the cat and She finally decamptd
and left the bird master of the field. But the
swallow followed the fleeing enemy until she
finally found safety through an open doorway.

Small pOX In the County.

There has been reported to Us case of small
pox in the county, rect ntly made public, about
two miles the other side of Newport, though
owing to the extremely warm weather and care
taken by the ply stefan in charge, there has
been no fear OF an epidemic created among the
people. The patient is an old colOred woman,
named Caroline Matthews, and there two
conflicting stories as to how she contracted the
disease. One is, that she went to Washington
and purchased some secOnd- h.. nd clothing and
caught the disease from them the other is that
she caught it from another colored woman " no
recently visited her from Horse Head, Prince
Georges count. This last we think the most
plausible story as it is weIl-known that there
are several ctseS of this disease in that neigh
Dor hood Dr. S W. Dent has been attending
the woman for some weeks but only made it
public last week that she was sutfrriGg from a
malignant case of sma pox. AS We have sta
ted no fear is entertained in the ntighborhood
of an epidemic or any spread of the disease.

Fertillhe Your Gardens.

Our vegetables are not as progressive
as they might be. The culture Of fruit
has been brought, upon the whole, TO o
higher degree of perfection than veget-
able culture, and there is still much to
be desired in the way of growing veget-
ables. We believe that much fault lies
in the manuring of vegetable grounds.
The soil is allowed to get too poor, and
it is believed that vegetables can be
grown anywhere. Many vegetables re.
quire rich moist soil, and wherever
drouths are feared particular pains
should be taken to give the earth a
moist and full manure. Those driel l
up beans really lack moisture, so do
many carrots and turnips now in the
market. The carrots that we have ex-
amined have not half the sugar in them
they should have, and the best roots are
poor in color. Turnips are woody, and
that delicious vegetable, the kohl-rabi,
is as hard as stone. instead of possessing
a moist, soft flesh. There is no doubt
about it, we want much teaching in the
growth of vegetables, and those small,
green tomatoes tell their tale also. There
is not much encouragement given at
fairs for the growth of vegetables.
There would be no harm il all agricultu-
raj societies, colleges and meetings were
to give their very best attention to the
vegetable market Food and Health.

How beautiful is the exhibition of hu.
manity in the young. A boy found a
poor, half-frozen wasp in the garret and
placed it upon chair before the fire to
thaw out. Surely the angels must have
looked down approvingly on such an act
Of kindness. When sister Mary's beau
called that evening he glanced at the
chair, and seating himself in it mur'

minutes later there was as much noise

had thawed out; that is why Mary isn't

FACES.

us than the countenances OF our at

close to a mirror, and look lnteht'y
upon his own reflection for several
minutes or longer, the impression
produced on his mind will be extra
ordinary. At first it is nothing but
b;s own we'll known, perhaps WELL
worn, face that confronts Him.

nothing of it here. So at least lie
