George Bixler, useful and respected cit-
zen of Manchester district, died at his late
residence at BiXler's Mills on the 2Sth of
March, aged 60 years. The deceased was one
of the originators of the Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance Company of Dug Hill, Carroll
county, and for the first several years Of the
company's existence he filled the position of
president, with credit to himself and profit to
the company. For the last twenty years of
his life he was an elder of Trinity Reformed
Church in this place, and in the performance
of his official and Christian duties as such he
labored zealously for the glory of his Master
and for the best interests of the church.
Thus, as the cycle of time revolves, one after
another is called hence to receive his reward
for his stewardship on earth.
The regular monthly meeting of the Geiger
Missionary Society was held last Monday
evening in the lecture-room of Trinity Re-
formed Church. The exercises consisted of
select reading, dialogue and music. The most
important feature of the evening programme
was omitted by reason of the absence of a
member on account of death in the family.

Survey of the Bachman valley R. r..

P. C. Kennedy, chief engineer, with six as
sistants, began on Wednesday morning to sur
vey line for the extension of the Bachman
Valley Railroad to this city. Capt. Kennedy
began at point on the Western Maryland
railroad, at the end of the alley running to
Thompsons livery stable, this city, and will
make preliminary and location surveys to
Ebbvale, the southern terminus of the road,
about nine miles distant. The Bachman Val
ley road begins at point on the Hanover
Branch railroad, near Hanover, and is in
operation about eleven miles to Ebbvale, this
county The President and directors have
desired for some time to extend their road to
Westminster, and it is stated that arrange
ments have been made to push the work to
completion the present year. Ties and rails
are said to be already supplied. The compile
ton of the road to this city would be a
matter of vastimportance to Westminster and
the county. Cheaper coal and lumber, de-
velopment of the fertile and populous country
through which tits to pass, easier and quicker
communication with the county seat better
mail facilities, are some of the advantages
the road would afford.

Adams County Notes.

From last Wednesday Gettysburg papers:
The residence of Mrs. Cooley, widow, two
miles from Center Mills, was entered by bur
glars Friday night and a trunk carried off,
which contained about $500 in currency, gold
and silver, besides valuable papers. Next
day the trunk was found in woods in the
rear of her dwelling, rifed of the currency
and silver, over 500. The gold was in the
bottom of the trunk, covered with other
articles, and escaped the notice of the burg
lars. Mrs. Cooley had received $500 the day
before. 1t is evident that the burglars were
familiar with Mrs. Cooley's affairs. Since
writing the above, we learn that the money
was found on Monday morning in the chop
chest in the barn, it having been placed there
during Sunday night by the burglar, who
probably became frightened over the active
efforts to track the burglary.
Capt. Frederick Diehl died at his residence
in Cashtown, this county, on Sunday morning
about o'clock. He had for some time been
partially disabled by paralysis, and the i'm
mediate cause of death is attributed to a
similar visitation.
