The walnut log excitement has now some
what abated, but is by no means forgotten,
and will not be for some time to come, and
men of intelligence have concluded that tor a
better protection for self-defense in the future
will be to resort to good yard dog and club
if ever walnut log or any similar agents make
their appearance on their premises again.
Quite an excitement has prevailed among
the stock feeders in this section of the coun-
try for the past two or three weeks, as pleuro-
pneumonia, so fatal to stock, has developed
itself among the cattle bought in the fall for
feeding during the winter season by Mr.. Eli
l.. Houck living on the Baltimore and Han
over Railroad, at Lineboro' station. One
steer was killed several weeks ago and exam
ined, and another one is complaining at the
time of writing, with no signs of improve
ment.
One night last week the family mare be-
longing to j.. V. Wentz, at Black Rock, Pa,
hung herself by paving over the halter chain
with her hind foot, the chain becoming en-
tangled and fast between the hoof and shoe.
The animal was very much bruised and
sprained, but, by very skillful treatment, there
are now hopes of recovery.
On last Monday morning, while MIR. Henry
X. Grove, of Manchester, was on his way to
Baltimore, he slipped on the ice and fell, cut
ting his forehead very badly and spraining his
wrist to such an extent that he had to return
home and send some other person to transact
his business for him in the city.
The weather was very cold the first part of
this week, and our road beds have become
almost solid sheets of ice and are almost i'm
pasSable.

One day last week dog passed through our
valley supposed to be mad, and was pursued
by some gunners, overtaken and shot at, but
not killed, the dog making good his escape.
The sleighing in our section has been pretty
good for some time past and is very much en-
loved by our young folks. Some slelghlng
parties number nearly hundred. On thurs
day night of last week sleighing party, learn
ing there was young couple to be married
at the home of Elder VIM. H. Franklin,
thought they would go there at the same hour
and see them married. but they were very
much disappointed as the young couple. re-
ouested of the Elder that he would perform
the ceremony privately in a room where the
sleighing party could not see them. So after
the service was over the happy pair went on
their way rejoicing, and the sleighing party to
another place, laughing over their disappoint-
ment.
Mr.. Jacob Farver is having very large
school this winter at the Franklinville school
house. the pupils numbering between fifty and
sixty. 1t would be a good time for some OF
our School Commissioners to pay Mr. Farver
a visit. in order to see how much he needs a
new school house to accommodate comfora-
bly, his pupils.
Some of our farmers are about finishing up
their butchering for this season. Elder VIM.
H. Franklin killed and shipped recently to
market nearly 5000 pounds of pork, winter
and spring pigs weighing from 100 to 250 lbs.
Turkeys are selling in this neighborhood
for l3 cents per pound live weight.
The health of our section at this time is
pretty good, though it is reported that there
are few cases of scarlet fever and dlphthera,
but no smallpox.

A Raid on the Parsonage.

MEssRs. EDITORS About Z o'clock last
Tuesday evening large number of friends
made an unexpected raid on the parsonage.
They came from town and country, old folks
and young, until they filed the house. They
had bags, baskets and bundles, the contents
of which were deposited in the cellar, dining
room, parlor, kitchen, pantry and stable; for
even Fanny (the horse) was not forgotten.
cannot, nor need |, attempt to snumerate the
number of articles which they brought us, all
of which are useful in family. There were
groceries and provisions, substantials and
luxuries in variety and quantity. Whilst we
appreciate oil these kind remembrances OF
our human comfort, yet we prize still more
highly the actuating motive that prompts these
generous acts. Nothing conduces more to q
minister usefulness than to live in the hearts
of his people. May the Lord bless you, dear
friends, and reward you bountifully with both
temporal and spiritual gifts.
Yours in Christian Fellowship,
