cY- VERDICT FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
The trial of the suit of the children OF
Luther Hauer against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad for $l5, 900 damages for the
killing of Mr.. Hauer at WevertOn, Wash
ington county, Md, OH June 4, 1880, was
concluded in the Frederick county Cir
cult Court on Saturday last, and verdict
for $4,000 rendered. Mr.. Hauer was
travelling in the capacity Of q salesman for
a Baltimore house and was on his way
from Hagerstown to Frederick on the day
the accident occurred which cost him his
life. He had reached Weverton and was
crossing the railroad tracks to board the
Frederick train when he was struck by a
special freight going west. He was COM
PEELED to cross the track To reach his train
but at the moment the undertaking was
dangerous because of the approaching
train. The railroad men warned him OF
his danger but apparently he paid no
heed to their gesticulations with the re-
suit as stated. The plaintiffs were rep
resented by Col. II. Kyd Douglas and
Capt.-James McSherry, and the defendant
by Charles w. Ross, Esq, and General
A. X. Syester.

~. Be UoNoRABLE.-Boys and young
men sometimes start out with the idea
that ones success depends Oh sharpnes ss
and chicanery. They imagine il man is
able to go "the best of n bargain" no
matter by what deceit and meanDess he
carries his point that his prosperity Is as
sured. This is great mistake. Endur-
ing prosperity can't be founded on cum
ming and dishonesty. The tricky and de-
cetful man is sure 20 fall victim, sooner
or later, to the influences which are for
ever working against him. His home is
built upon the sand, and its foundation
will certainly give way. Young people
cannot give these truths too much weight.
The future of that young man is safe who
eschews every shape OF double dealing,
and lays the foundation Of his career In
the enduring principles of everlasting
truth.

BRILLIANT WHIrEwAsH.-Much has
been said of the brilliant stucco white
wash on the east side OF the President
house at Washington. The following
is a receipt for making il, With some ad-
ditional improvement learned by experi-
ment Take half bushel of nice M
Stacked lime, slack it with boiling water,
covering il during the process to keep
in the steam. Strain :he liquor through
a sieve or strainer, and add to it peck
of clean salt, previously well dissolved
in warm water; three pounds OF ground
rice, ground TO thin paste, and stirred
hot; half pound OF powdered whiting,
and pouLd of clean glue, which has
been previously dissolved by soaking 1t
well, and then hang it over slow hre,
in small kettle within large one filed
with water; add FIVE gallons Of hot
water TO the whole mixture stir 1t well,
and let it stand few days covered from
the dirt. 1t should be put on quite hot
for this purpose it can be kept in ket-
tie on a portable furnace. 1t is said one
pint of this mixture will cover square
gard upon the outside of house if prop
erly applied. Brushes more or less
small may be used, according 10 The
neatness Of the job required. 1t retains
its brilliancy for many years. There is
nothing of the kind that will compare
with it, either for inside or outside walls.
Coloring matter may be put in and made
any shade you like. Spanish brown
stirred in will made red or pink, more
or less deep according TO quality. A
delicate tinge of this is very pretty for
inside walls. Finely pulverized com
mon clay well mixed up with Spanish
brown before it is stirred in to the
mixture makes it lilac color. Lamp.
black and Spanish brown mixed to-
gether produces a reddish stone color.
Lampblack in moderate quantities make
a slate color, very suitable for outside

III. NJ. =. PinafOre.

The museum of c. w. Graham shows
many curious and wonderful specimens
of his skill as taxidermist, but in his
latest production he has capped the
climax in the magnitude of the under
taking and in its skillful workmanship.
His latest represents Her Majesty's
Ship PinafOre, whose "saucy ships a
beauty" The keel is six and One-half
feet long, eight feet and One-half from
the end of the jib-boom to the stern,
and eight feet to the top of the
main mast. 1t is a perfect representa-
ton of IA ship i'll every particular, ev-
cry piece of rigging being given, and
the whole is based on correct meas
urements. On the quarter deck is
transporting the most exciting and dra-
matte scene in this most popular of
all operas, where the marines have
seized Ralph Rackstraw by order of
Sir Joseph, upon whose arm leans the
piquant Hebe. Aside stands Captain
CorcOran in disgrace and Dick Deadeye
with his ugly face contorted by a dia-
bolical grin as he eXclaims, 81 told
You so" There is the jaunty Little
Buttercup with her basket of novelties
on her arm, together with the other
actors i'll the drama. The ladies are
represented by chipmunk squirrels and
the officers and sailors by red squirrels,
postured by the taxidermist's art. The
design is good and is faithfully and
skillfully executed. Large numbers
have called to see it. 1t will be pack
ed on Saturday and on Monday it will
he shipped to Boston, where it will be
placed on exhibition in the New Eng
land manufacturers and mechanics
institute, where it is safe to say it will
evoke much admiration.

the deed is so recorded, Mr.. Laird stat
ing that he could not pay the price he
did for the house, present more than
half the value of the lot to the society,
and have the view from the house cut
off as would be the result if the church
were built in the centre of the lot.
The society state that, in respect to
ow-slides, they will put an ornamen-
tai iron fence on the bottom of the
roof which will prevent the snow from
sliding.
The lot is sixty five feet on the ave-
nue. and the foundation is laid within
thirty inches of the line found by
Judge Ross. The water line will be
five inches from the dividing line. We
think that some way might have been
found for compromise and prevented
this lamentable controversy, in which,
whether by its own act or otherwise, a
branch of Christ's Church is one of the
contending parties.
AN INJUNCTION SERVED.
A new phase has been developed in
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. matter.
Friday night and Saturday morning AT
Injunction was served by Sheriff Sullo-
way, at the instance of Mr.. Wakefield,
upon Mr.. Bray, the contractor for the
erection of the church, and upon the
building committee, restraining them
from interfering in the slightest man
ner with the high fence erected by Mr..
Wakefield. 1t has been the intention
of the builder to erect a fence next to
the other, which, as the space is so
narrow, it would seem to be necessary
to lean against the one already erect
ed. The injunction now restraints them
from erecting the fence so that it will
come in contact in the slightest degree
with the other fence. The affair is
complicating very much, and suggests
the ACCESSIBILITY of pacific measures
having been adopted at the outset,
even at considerable sacrifice. Mr..
Laird wishes the CaledOnidn to state
that the representatives of the society
rendered Mr.. Wakefield $50 few days
before the injunction was served for
the privilege of leaning the fence they
are to erect against the one built by
Mr.. Wakefield.

The visitors are all much pleased
with the town and its various points of
interest and attractions. 1t is safe to
say that st. Johnsbury will be the OBJ
jective point in the future of all who
have become acquainted here, and that
the number will he considerably aug
mented in succeeding years. While
our Texas friends have formed such
pleasant impressions of St. JOhnsbury,
those of its people who have been
thrown into their society have formed
equally highly favorable impressions
of them. That people from the largest
state in the Union find attractions in
one of the smallest and farthest away
is fact which should interest and
please Vermonters, and which is the
CaledOnidR's excuse for devOting so
much attention to the representatives
among us from this Gulf state.

The Lone Star in ST. Johns

st. JOhnsbury has a large number of
full scenery to be found hereabouts, to-
gether with the general attractiveness
of the town and the excellent advan-
tages of the Athenaum, weigh heavily
with those looking about them for an
attractive place to spend the summer
season. Perhaps no better evidence of
this may be found than the fact of eO-
pie coming a long distance and select
ing this from ali the places that
abound. In this the Lone Star state
begins to figure very largely. For
some years past quite a number of
Texas people have made Newbury,
this state, as the objective point of
their summer jOurneyings.

Rev. Mr.. Webster, the financial agent
of the home, preached at the Methodist

sidered it irrelevant to the subject and
too self-laudatOry. Especially so was
it to the Methodist people who heard
the same story in the morning. The
most agreeable feature of the evening
was the singing of the colored people.
At the old North church on Monday
evening the jubilee singers gave con-
cert, their songs delighting the large
audience present. There is about the
singing of the cOlored people a degree
of melody unapprOachable by their
Caucasian brothers and sisters, and the
children from the home lent to the
singing an additional interest.
