MIR. J. N. Henderson, the enterprising agent
Of the st. John Sewing Machine, appears to be

ink and THE UNION office has this week turned out
large lot of circulars for him, containing the
dorsement of many we'll known citizens.
"A man residing in business section of the
town allows his wagons to stand at night and on
Sundays on the side walk, to the great inconve-
nience of pedestrians. At night particularly there
is danger of falling over the shafts and the won
der is that an accident has not occurred before
this.
"A gentleman who lately came to Towsontown
to live is delighted with the place and says he
don't see why any one should want to leave here
to spend the summer elsewhere. Perhaps if he
should experience one whole week of real torrid
weather with the thermometer above90, he would
change his mind.
Our neighbor of the Reisterstown Voice is
evidently growing jealous. Hear him: were
person to judge from what he reads in the Tow
sontown papers, he might think the Baltimore
Delta Narrow Gauge the only, the greatest rail-
road in the country. No doubt the average Tow
sontown citizen now feels himself a resident ofone
of the first cities of the land Their great exulta
ton reminds one Of a child with new toy"
"A bicyclist-a man who is too poor to own n
horse and too lazy to walk-came causing
runaway one of our principle avenues Monday
evening. A gentleman was driving q colt to a
buggy and as the wheelman approached the ami
nal shot off into ditch at the side of the avenue.
The man on the wheel, who at least fifty
yards off, saw the plight the driver was in but he
neither stopped nor tried to get out of the road,
but moved along as though nothing had happened.
If some of these fellows were caught and well
thrashed it might serve to make them mind
full of the rights and safety ofothers This bicycle
riding on the public thoroughfares is nuisance
zhich nun ht to be ahated.
