| hawkins NllliaMs, OF tnls county, 10 LORD arthur
Herbert, of Ireland, which was announced for
Monday last, did not take place, and it is thought
the date was prematurely fixed by prying news
paper reporters. The wedding will take place at
a later day.
"A very fine driving mare, valued at $500,
! and belonging to Mr.. Howard Ridgely, was stolen
from one of the Hampton pasture fields about ten
days ago. She had likely been gone several days
| before she was missed. The case is in the hands
| of city detectives and reward of $50 has been
offered for her recovery.
The Maryland Jockey Club races commence
at Pimlico on Tuesday next and continue four
days This promises to be one of the best meet
ings ever held by the club, there being many in
teresting events ON the programme Immense
crowds will be attracted and it is hoped the
weather may prove favorable.
! We are indebted to the Middletown cOrnet
band for delightful serenade on Tuesday. The
band came to Towsontown on that day to play at
| the Republican mass meeting 1t is an organiza-
ton of which the 9th district may justly feel
! proud. Mr.. Howard Gore is the leader of the
| band and Prof. Bowser instructor.
| The difficulty existing among the heirs of
! the late John B. Slade, of the 4th district, has
| been settled. Under the will, it will be remem
bered, the two sons inherited the bulk of the
property, with small legacies to the daughters.
Under the settlement the two daughters get 81
600 each. The estate is valued at $4,000.
"A letter intended for publication in THE
UNION, from the 10th district, referring to school
No. Z, of that district in not very complimentary
terms, is of too personal nature to lind
place in our columns. We hope our correspon-
dent will continue to supply with items but in
doing so he must not be too severe on his neigh
bors.
Mr. Samuel NJ. Shoemaker, of Green Spring
Valley has purchased another Jersey for
which he paid the trifing sum of 81 ,S00i He has
perhaps more money invested in this kind of
stock than any two men in the State, and, not
withstanding this, he sometimes gets left at coun
ty fairs when the premiums are being handed
around.
Col. Samuel N Hyde's extensive Long
Green canning house shut down for the season at
10 o'clock Wednesday night The pack of
this establishment was very large, but not so
heavy as was expected. Next year Col Hyde
will put up 500 acres of Egyptian sweet corn,
much of which he hopes to have grown by neigh
boring farmers.
Mr.. E. C. Carman, the efficient superinten-
dent of the Court House and grounds, was at his
post Tuesday afternoon during the progress of the
Republican meeting in the court room, and did all
in his power to make things comfortable and pre-
serve order on the outside that the meeting
should not be interrupted. He deserves the thanks
of all present for his careful attention.
-Beair Democrat: "Harry Arlington, owned
by Joshua f. Todd of Baltimore county, has
always been great favorite in Hartford, but at no
time has he attracted so much attention and won
so much praise as during the past week at our
fair. He was promptly awarded the blue ribbon
the best stallion in the general utility class,
and won the $40 race in 2:35 without jostle."
Charles B. Holland was arrested in Hartford
county on Friday of last week, on the charge of
having more wives than the law allows. The
charge is that he has wife living at Wether-
edsville, and that wife No. resides at Jockeys
vile, and there eleven districts yet to hear
Tro rrfva in is fOn Trpnu
We have not heard what defense the gay
"Chawls" will make.
We must ask the indulgence of our readers
one week longer. The statement of the expenses
of Baltimore county occupies much of our space,
to the exclusion of interesting matter, but this
only occurs once a year, and our friends must
overlook the apparent shortcomings growing out
of this unavoidable pressure. Advertisers who
may miss insertion of their cards on this ac-
count will lose nothing, all omissions will be
made good.
1t is said that Mrs. Mary Worthington, the
mother of Mrs. L. L. Conrad, will shortly offer at
public auction the "Montmorenc' farm in Worth
ington Valley, this county. This is the place
where Mrs. Conrad killed her husband few
months ago. 1t is fine estate, consisting of
several hundred acres. At one time it was very
productive farm but now, like many others in
portion of that valley, is greatly run down and
out of order.
THE UNION has been house-cleaning this
week-that is we have had our Office thoroughly
renovated, newly calcimined, scrubbed, etc. and
it now looks as neat and clean as new pin. We
have always had the reputation of having the
cleanest printing office in the State, and we don't
intend that we shall fall behind in this respect.
We can sympathize with ladies who have this
ordeal to pass through twice year. We know
how it is ourselves.
The handsome new rectory of Trinity P.
E. church, Towsontown, having been beautifully
furnished, mainly through the efforts of the
getic ladies of the congregation, the key to the
same was formally presented to the rector at a
meeting of the vestry, Monday afternoon. DR..
Piper, in his usual happy vein, made the presen
tation, and the Rev. Mr.. Powers responded. His
family will occupy the house soon Mrs.
Powers returns from Virginia.
Hon. Edwin II. Webster, of Hartford coun-
ty, was one of the judges of Jersey cattle at the
Hagerstown fair. The cattle were drawn up in
line, some fifty more head, and the Col. made
the closest kind of an examination, and from the
manner in which he went at his task, we take it,
much better posted than the other two gentle
men composing the committee Nothing escaped
his notice. In making examinations of this sort
it requires the incest kind of discrimination to
say just who has the best COW.
MFR. John S. Thompson was married on
Wednesday evening, at the First Baptist church,
Baltimore, to Miss Molle Startzman, daughter of
Mr. John Startzman, a well-known and prominent
merchant. The groom is a brother of Mr.. Robert
H. Thompson, superintendent of the Union mills,
near Ellicott City, and of Mr.. James Thompson,
of the County Clerks office. He is rising young
business man and holds a very RESPONSE
BILE position with the extensive oil firm of J. Park
hurst Jr., & Co., Baltimore. We extend our con-
gratulations.
"A gang of bad youths and boys are in the
IL r l. Al ID
Station of the Maryland Central road and as they
have been known to steal small packages it would
be well for people to be on the lookout for them.
One gentleman lost box of paper collars few
evenings ago and since then he has been going
about with pocket handkerchief tied round his
neck. There is truth in the report that chile"
had anything to do with the handkerchief. He
never had one of em in his life, and he wants the
public to know it.
