A Broom Mandatory.

Gettysburg, Pa, has broom mandatory
Westminster might easily have one also. We
asked broom manufacturer few days ago
what broom corn would pay, per acre, and
his reply was-"From fifty to sixty dollars. :"
This is better than sweet corn, which pays
about forty dollars per acre. Let us have a
broom factory in Westminster; we already
have skilled manufacturer living near this
town, who might be induced to transfer his
business to this city, where a little capital
would greatly enlarge it, and help to fill up
the vacuum shortly to occur from the re-
moval of the Taylor works.

A CARD.
TO THE Voters OF THE FIFTH JU-
DJCT4T GTRTTTTT OF MARYLAND


Fello,c- Citizens Il published card in the
Democratic Adrocdte on the 9th of January
last, ON the subject of the Election of Judges,
which will take place next November. In
that card / stated that had not finally deter
mined whether or not | would be candidate
for reelection to the Judgeship which l now
hold. In addition to the reasons | assigned
for not then announcing myself a candidate,
there were paramount considerations which
influenced my action in this regard. Idesiredto
look about and ascertain whether | could find
any other employment or occupation by which
| could earn livelihood for myself and de-
cent support for those who are dependent on
me. If could be reasonably certain of this
would with great pleasure retire from the Bench
with heartfelt thanks to you, the people OF this
circuit, of all political parties, who, by your
out-spoken approval from time to time of my
official conduct, have sustained me in the
faithful performance of the onerous duties |
have had to discharge. But on reflection L
am convinced that fifteen years service on
the Bench, to which service | have given my
whole and undivided attention, has untitled
me, at my time of life, for success in any 9th
er employment.
1 feel constrained, therefore, to appeal to
you for permission to continue to labor in an
office in which | have reason to believe L can
render the public good service.
To this end [ hereby announce myself
candidate for reelection to the Office of Asso-
ciate Judge of the Circuit Court for the Fifth
Judicial Circuit of Maryland.
Should | be reelected, 81 will, to the best
of my skill and judgment, diligently and faith
fully, without partiality or prejudice, execute
the Office Very Truly Yours,
april To- VIM. N. HAYDEN.

Items Near Manchester.

Farmers are busily engaged in putting out
their seeding in this vicinity, and some are
even speaking of finishing this week, with the
exception of their corn ground.
An unusual amount of clover seed has just
been harvested in this section of the county,
and almost every farmer has stacked it close
to a stream of water, if convenient, only to
await the shrill whistle of the steamer and its
attached machinery to separate the little grain
from its chaff and straw.
The directors of the Farmers Mutual Fire
Insurance Company of Dug Hill held their
quarterly meeting in the office of the Compa-
ny in Manchester last Saturday Some i'm
portant business was transacted. This was
also the day for the first sitting of the collector
for the Company, appointed at their last meet
ing in June, to collect the assessment made by
the Company at that time upon the premium
notes of its members. The amount collected
on the first day of the collector sitting was a
liberal one.
Mr.. Jesse Sherman lost valuable mare
last week. and Mr.. Ferdinand Peterman, near
Melrose, lost his family horse last week also.
Mr.. Sylvester Wentz was very unfortunate
one day last week. He left home early in the
morning to go to Glen Rock, Pa, for some
machinery for his grist mill, and, having
loaded, started for home. When nearly
home, in going down steep hill, the wagon
took advantage of the horses, running on a
bank and striking stump, upsettlng the wa
gon and breaking it to considerable extent,
and part of his machinery, thereby incur
ring double expense.
While son of Mr.. Daniel Bixler was plow-
ing in level field, one of the horses acciden-
tally put one of his hind feet on a stone and
slipped off, fracturing the bone right above
the joint, and had to be killed.

Dedication of the Theological Seminary.

The building erected for the School of The
ology of the Methodist Protestant Church, has
been completed, and was dedicated to the
uses for which it is designed, on Wednesday
eveninglast. Tickets ofinvitation were issued,
the room not being of sufficient capacity to
justify an invitation in general.
The exercises were opened with the voice
ofpraise. "All hail the power of Jesus NAME"
was sung, and DR.. J. 7. Ward, followed with
prayer. Scripture lessons were then read by
Dr. J. 7. Murray and Rev. John Edwards.

young men for the ministry, and the progress
and prospective outlook of the institution,
were made by Drs. J. T. Ward, j. 7. Murray,
J. w. Herring and the Principal, Rev. L. ID.
Lewis, A. NJ. The building was then dedica-
ted to God by appropriate ritual, by Rev. j. L.
Murray, D. d., representing the trustees, the
faculty and the church. The Gloria Patri, the
Doxology and Benediction closed the cere-
monies.
The building is of ample dimensions and
admirably arranged. The dormitories are
airy and furnished with every convenience.
There is a fine recitation hall, a library room
and room for the principal. The rooms will
be heated by furnace. Prot. Lewis is a
man of fine scholarship and executive ability,
and has thrown all his energy and tact into
this enterprise, and has the prospect of album
dant fruit of his labors in the prosperity OF
the School of Theology.
