Juvenile Party.

The current week has been one of stirring
incidents in Westminster. The trades dis
play, the carnival, the carnival ball at the
Montour, the Burns Post festival, etc., but not
the least interesting event of the week, to the
juvenile portion of the population, was the
children's party given by Eloise and Jim
my Bond, the little children of Mr.. and Mrs:
Jas. A. C. Bond Some fifty or sixty bright
and joyous little faces were grouped together
in the parlors, presenting picture which
thrilled with delight, not only the hearts OF
the little ones. but of every adult, and es-
. peeia ally of every parent present. There was
music and dancing, and games of sport and
play, all under the direction of d. older heads
and then refreshments in bountifll protuslon.
After that the merry good nights were
spoken, and all retired to their respective
which will be remembered, in after years,
when gray hairs and wrinkles come, with
Measurable emotions.

A. ID. SCHENCK,
LIST Lieut.. I'd L. :. Artillery.

The above letter was turned over to Col.
VIM. A. McKellip, by Mayor Irwin, who will
be absent from home for some months, who
is making all necessary inquiries in regard to
the above. Messrs. Lynch & Orendortf, who
own the fair grounds, have been seen and
they have given the terms upon which the
grounds can be leased. Our hotels and
boarding houses can accommodate not only the
officers and their families, but all who visit
the encampment. There are six trains daily
each way on the Western Nd. Railroad, to and
from Baltimore, which, with almost hourly
communication between Baltimore and
Washington, will certainly afford ample
travelling facilities. On the fair ground is
pure water, and plenty of it; the location is
about 1000 feet above tide; no mosquitoes
or malaria fresh, bracing atmosphere good
market and a population that will welcome
Gen. Ayres and his command to our little
mountain city with pleasure. Gen. Ayres
and Lieutenant Mitchell have been here on
two occasions, and expressed themselves as
much pleased with the city and its surround
ings. If they decide to select Westminster
as their camping grounds the command will
arrive about the middle of May and remain
until about the first or middle of October.
The officers and their families will find genial
society during their sojourn here, as many
persons from Baltimore and other cities spend
the summer months in Westminster, which is
deemed one of the most healthful localities
in the state.
The grounds, thirty acres, will afford ample
room for drilling or parade purposes, and
supplies for the horses can be obtained from
farmers in the neighborhood. Our bakeries
can furnish bread for the command, and our
truckers and butchers can supply them with
meat and vegetables in abundance.

A R.Itimore Countv Porker.

Mr. Johnzey E. Myers, of the 9th District,
the past week killed porker, of the White
Chester breed, which weighed 537 pounds.
Now, Bro Van., of the Westminster ADvO-
CATE, will no doubt say there is nothing big
about that, but he will come to such conclu-
sions when we inform him that the aforesaid
hog got his rotundity off chinquapins and
chestnuts, including the burrs. What might
the 9Th District do off corn, if chinquapins
will produce such results?-4O,csonto1n Jour-
nal.
Bro. Ruby, that 9TH District porker was =,
good one, but as it strayed around generally
we have no doubt that it got over into the 9th
District of this county and often dined off the
excellent corn grown there last season. Be
sides, it is very likely that it was Carroll
county stock. N 100

fetal flowers. The services were full, and

York County Pa, Items

From the Hanover Spectator we take the
following On March 18th, Mr.. John Gable,
an old and well-known citizen of the South
western end of West Mannheim township, near
the Adams county line, died, aged about %
years. The deceased possessed a large amount
of property. and was greatly esteemed by all
who knew him. For many years Mr.. Gable
kept large amount of money in his house,
preterrng this mode of keeping his money to
depositing it in a bank. This habit was adj
hered to until about five years ago, when his
house was entered by three men, masked and
disguised, who bound the old gentleman and
his female servant, and robbed him of large
amount of money. Mr.. Gable was widower
and had no children of his own. His estate
is estimated at over S75 1000, which, after
some few minor requests to distant relatives,
is willed principally to the children of his de-
ceased sister. Mrs. Elizabeth Biehl.
A movement is being promoted by residents
of the section of county between Summit
Grove camp-meeting grounds, on the North
ern Central Railway, 40 miles from Baltimore,
and Stewartstown, York county, to have a
branch railroad built. The line would be
seven miles long, from Stewartstown to the
Northern Central at Summit Grove. A rich
and thickly settled country will be drained by
the new road. The Northern Central author
tiles will next week hear a committee of the
citizens in reference to the project, and sta
tistics of the production and population of the
section are being prepared
On Thursday morning of las. week William
Schue, of West Mannheim township, who was
shot on the night of the 18th inst, during an
attempted raid on the chicken house of

in crime, Henry Bolden, died from the effects
of the terrible wounds received in the neck
and back of his head, secondary hemorrhage
resulting. Schue was about so years of age,
and low, vilanous character addicted to
stealing, arson, and other crimes.
On March 18th, Mr.. Samuel Long, for
mer well-known resident of West Mannheim
township, died at Waterloo City. Indiana,

With the change of season we can chronicle
other and important changes at Carrollton.
The mill has been purchased, am informed,
by Messrs. Yingling & Son, of Middleburg,
Md. The Messrs Iingling are practical mil
lers, and will no doubt run the mill strictly
to make it a success. For the present Mr.. j.
Smallwood will run it for the Messrs. Ying-
ling. Mr.. Smallwood is thorough miller,
and is deservedly popular in this community.
By close attention to business and strict in
tegrity of character, he has won many friends,
and will add largely to the business of the mill
now under his control. Mr.. Yingling's old
friends in this community tender him a hearty
welcome.
The Shamberger tract, opposite this station,
has been purchased by Mr.. Thomas Green,
whose purpose it is to divide it into building
lots, make a plat and put them on the market
at once. Mr.. Green is full of business. and
his enterprise must lead to success. Some
parties have already made application for lots
with a view to building the present season.
Young man, ''don't go west" you can Sc
cure home here and get all the work you
want.
Some gentlemen with surplus capital ex
press willingness to embark in another en-
terprise at this place-a canning establish
ment 1t is one of the best locations in West
ern Maryland for such an establishment.
The farms are small, and there is not a farmer
in this section but will readily devote his land
and labor to the cultivation of sweet corn,
beans, peas, tomatoes, &c. Who will be the
first to come forward and take hold of this
matter? There is money in it, and no risk.
There are a large number of juveniles in this
neighborhood whose time could be ''put in,
proftably.
The ADVOCATE is always welcome visitor.
When we get it we expect to get the news,
and we are not disappointed. Its preemi-
nence as a county journal in this state is es-
tablshed.
We hope in our next letter to have more
items of still greater interest.

After an examination of the burglary by
our machinist, Mr.. A. n. Foney, we have
reached the conclusion that to do the work
that was done the gentlemen need not be pro-
fessionals. Mr.. F. penetrated the safe six
and one half inches, and found no obstacle,
such as chilled steel, to hinder his further
progress. j. Elsie Miller lost n suit worth
about So.
A number of persons attended the carnival
display, and we believe all were pleased.
Samuel Haines intends turning his attention
exclusively to potato farming, and has leased
part of l.. +. Miller's farm. Mr.. H. has
hitherto been successful potato farmer, and
thinks he will find no difficulties on this en-
larged scale. He will grow Vermonts and
