once every year or 80, gets on colossal drunk

he came into civilization bringing with him a
particularly weak-looking negro-one Of sew
eral slaves sill owned by the Indians. He
was told that all the slaves had been freed.
He replied :-''Injnn' Niger amt free, and
after getting comfortably drunk he melted into
the swamps, carrying his negro with him. A
few months since sewing machine man en-

carefully and when he was satisfied as to what
il would do deliberately arose and kicked his

Taneytown Items.

There are many changes to be made IN this
place during this spring, both hotels win have
new proprietors, and quite number who
ha4e been residing here will change their
places Of residence.
Four hundred thousand bricks are to be
burned here during the coming summer, By
S. Z. ReindolleF and Henry Harnish, and
quite number of new houses are TO be built
by various parties. There viii be one new
store, which viii probably excel any of the
others in this place, and perhaps will induce
our people to buy in Taneytown, instead Of
going elsewhere, as many have been aeeus-
toned to do heretofore.
The farmers in this vicinity seem to be
anxious for change of weather in order that
they may begin to prepare for sowing their
oats, they fearing that this win be an unusual
" late season.
Last Monday evening we were visited by a
thunder storm, which was the first this year.
The health of the community must be good
generally, as the doctors say that they have
not much to do.

A show at Massillon, Ohio, was so bad that
the audience Kissed the performers off the

that much better entertainment would be
offered on the following evening, and that
tickets would be given to the people as they
passed from the hall. That willy proposition
was met with rousing demands for return Of
the admission money, and the frightened

Union bridge Agricultural club.


According to adjournment, Club met at
Members present: D. w. Wolfe and two
daughters, S. Shepherd and wife, r. Saylor,
wife and daughter, I. Jones, P Wood, j.
Rakestraw, Capt Rinehart and family. Wis
itors: Mrs. Janney, Mr.. Scott Wolfe. The
attendance was not large, especially on the
part of the lady members, only two of their
number being present in addition TO the hos
tess. As usual, the time was spent in pleasant
social intercourse and in the discussion of
various topics OF interest," until the dinner hour
arrived, when We were summoned to the
dining room to partake of the bOunties of n
well spread table. After dinner a visit was
made to the barn, where our attention was
called to a flock of twenty one very fine sheep,
apparently containing a large admiXture of
Cotswold blood. The sheep were large and
in good condition. There was also a number
of very fine lambs among the flock.
The question was asked-''Which is the best
breed of sheep for the farmer to keep" No
very definite satisfactory answer elici-
ted. 1t was remarked, however, that where
it was desired to keep sheep in large numbers
the fine wooded breeds, such as the MerinO,
were to be preferred; the larger or long wooded
breeds not doing so well if kept in large focks.
The cattle, so far as noticed. were in their
usual good condition.
The day being stormy and disagreeable, our
walk did not extend further than the barn.
On our way back to the house a short stop
was made at the hog pen, where we saw some
fine hogs and shoats of that deservedly popu-
lar breed known as Poland China
This ended the outdoor inspection for the
day Everything about the premises, so far
as we had opportunity to observe, presented
its usual appearance of neatneSs and order.
We now returned to the house and the clnb
was called to order by the president. The
secretary, Daniel Rinehart, asked to be eN-
cused from serving at this meeting. His re-
quest being granted, on motion j. Rakestraw
was appointed secretary pro tenn. Minutes OF
last meeting were read and approved. OF the
highway committee only one member was
present, and not being ready to report, the
committee was, on motion, continued, to re-
port at next meeting Standing committee f..
was then called upon, and Solomon Shepherd
responded by reading an original essay, en-
titled "A Temperance Education, a very
good production. the sentiments of which were
heartily endorsed by the Club. Mrs. Shep-
pany in the Country an excellent article and
committee. 6. :. Haines and wife. were alb
sent. Mr.. Shepherds essay, together with
the minutes Of the meeting, was directed to be
published in the county papers.

Ter and wife, was directed to report at next
meeting. Then adjourned to meet at David

r'lBLEV HIGHWAYS.

In a former number of this paper
mention was made of the fact that
parties were endeavoring to opel,
the old military road between
.Whatcom and Samish, and recon-
needing that steps be taken in that
direction. Forithe past few months
we have heard nothing relating to
this matter. Whether the parties
in question have failed to bring the
right pressure Jo bear for the ac-
complishment of this undertaking,
we are unable to say. Whatcom
County could easily afford to eX-
pend $4,000 in building this road.
The taxable property that would be
created In the settlements througb>
out the central part of the county,
would, within two years, amount to
several times the expenditure. 1t
would also have tendency to unite
more closely the north and south
part of the county, and perhaps
would lessen, in measure, the
anxiety experienced by mdhy on
the county division question. 1t
would, in time, result in connecting
us with the excellent road system
of British Columbia, extending 600
miles north and east, and with that
of Oregon and Columbia river.
While the prospects for railroad
communications, which must in the
nature of the case be important
factors in our upward and onward
course, is good, it remains fact
that there are many localities in
this county where anything but a
wagon road would be impracticable.
A triffiing expenditure, triffling
compared with the results which
will be sure to follow, would be
productive of benefits that would
amply repay the outlay. We
would like to impress upon the
minds..of our County Commissioners
that certain amount Of work is
required in that direction, and if
they cannot accomplish anything at
present, they can at least look into
the matter enough to recommend it
if desired. When once completed
through this county, Snohomish,
King and Pierce would doubtless do
their portion, and j. would soon be
connected with Columbia, forming
a through Territorial road.
