! ---Benjamin MARBLE, farmer of the lth dis
! trict died at his home, near Perry Hall, on Sun
day night last, aged II years. His second wife,
who is daughter of the late John D. Bedford, OF
this place, survives him. Mr.. MARBLE came to
this county from York county, Pa, where he at
one time acted in the capacity of deputy sheriff
or constable.
The Dunkards held regular services in
Waverly Hall, Waverly, last Sunday, conducted
by David Ayers. These people are uncompro-
missing advocates of primitive Christianity, and
recognize the New Testament as the only infal-
BILE rule of faith and practice. The next meeting
will be held in the same hall on the 18th of Sep
TENDER next.
- The camp-meeting at Waters grounds,
west of Pikesville, will commence Wednesday,
August I'd, and the Summerfield camp, BALTIC.
Powhatan railroad, on the 18th of the same
month. The former is conducted on the old
fashioned plan, there being charge for admis-
sion, but at the latter admission fee of five
cents will be charged at the gates.
On Sunday night last a party of roughs
boarded hOrse-ear at Highlandtown, 18th dis
trict, to ride to the city. They refused to pay
their fare and when the conductor undertook to
put them off they resisted and several pistol shots
were fired, creating the greatest CONSERVATION
among the other passengers. man named John
Burke was shot in the lip but was not seriously
hurt.
1t would be a good idea for the Baltimore
ings on the grounds at Timonium either white
color washed. This would greatly improve their
appearance and would materially aid in protect
ing the buildings against the weather. The cost
of this work would be comparatively small and
urge upon the Society the necessity of having
it done at once.
Mr. Charles Jessop died at the residence of
his son-in-law, Mr.. Levi Ferguson, near Cub Hill,
Hartford road, last Wednesday, aged go years.
He had been a resident of the county all his life
and for many years was engaged in farming. At
one time he served in the capacity of take ollec
tor. He was brother of Mr.. George Jessop,
siding near Ashland, N. c. R. R., and also brother
of the late William Jessop, of Vaux Hall, and
Joshua Jessop, of Dulanys Valley.
From what we have been able to gather we
don't think the registration in Baltimore county
last week was full as it should have been.
Unless there should be better turn out at the
subsequent sittings there are likely to be large
number whose names will not appear upon the
poll books at the election in November. This
matter of registration is one that concerns every
citizen and all entitled to vote should see that
their names are properly placed upon the lists.
Mr. George II. Elder, register of voters for
the Sd district, refused to register Mr. Frank l..
Morling, who claims that he is resident of that
district while the register asserts that he lives in
Baltimore city and for this refused to place
his name the list of qualified voters. Mr.. Nor
ling has filed petition in the Circuit Court here,
asking that Mr.. Elder be cited to show cause why
his name is not placed upon the registration
books. Judge Yellott will hear the case on the
Goth inst.
The 18th district truckers lost heavily this
year on their pea crop. Last year the crop was
light and extraordinarily high prices we're OBJ
tanned. This season many additional acres were
planted, an immense crop was raised and the
prices fell to II and Is cents per bushel. The
pickers struck and demanded % cts. per bushel
and as q result the truckers allowed their peas to
remain on the ground. Thus all their labor, the
expense of seed, fertilizers &C.. was a dead loss
and it fell heavily many.
The annual alday meeting at Jessop's
NJ. E. church. above Cockeysville, last Sunday,
not so largely attended as usual The Pre-
siding Elder unable to be present on account
of illness and Rev. L. T. Morgan preached in his
place. An interesting children's meeting was
held in the afternoon at which several addresses
were made. The location of this church is one of
the finest in the county and the view from it is
very attractive, the beautiful farms and villages in
the distance combining to make a picture rarely
met with.
