LETTER FROM CLERMONT MILLS.



1t is rarely we see anything in The AgiS about
fhis part of the country in regard to big cattle,
though please remember we can come up to any
George Richardson sold twenty head, last week,
to a York buyer, for export, as fine lot as ever
left Hartford. They were bubbcr fat. They
averaged ,446 lbs. and four of the lot, weighed
together, averaged LIZA lbs. Who can beat that
Mr.. Richardson is one of our enterprsing young
farmers, who can't be surpassed by even the
older ones. He has about forty head now for
feeding this winter.
Mr.. John A. Street, also sold at the same time
twenty head to the same dealer, that averaged
1,4d0. They were also very fine.
THE CANNING INTEREST.
The Gamers in this part of Hartford seems to be
at a stand-stil holding for better prices. Hay
ward, Furlong u Co., members of the Red Seal
Brand have received orders to ship 5000 cases.
which they have done, the only sale we have
heard of.
Our farmers estill engaged in their corn crop.
snap has made them somewhat anxious.
HAIL TO THE RAILROAD.
We are all highly delighted over the arrival of
our little railroad at the Rocks. The rails art
there, having reached the crossing at Deer Creek.
The bridge was hauled down Saturday last and
will commence mt once to erect it. When ii
reaches the rocks from the Bel Air end Mr.. Edi-
tor, comeu some pleasant day and take a drink
of water with us.
Your genial and popular merchant, Mr.. j. G
Rouse, made a flying visit to our neighborhood
in search of birds though we are sorry to say re-
turned with single partridge, not because Mr.
Rouse can't shoot, but because of the scarcity Of
birds. THIN SPACE.

The New Time Standard.

There was a general setting of watches and
clocks, in Baltimore, at noon Sunday, when
the new standard of time was adopted by the
city authorities and the railroads The new
time is G minutes and go seconds faster than
the old. 1t is based upon the time of the
10th meridian.
This plan is to divide the country into five
divisions running north and south, each fiji.
teen degrees, or nine hundred miles wide, and
every town or cityin each will have the same
time. For convenience the meridans adopted
as the centres of the divisions are the Goth,
10Th, Goth, 105th and 12Oth. The effect of
this plan will be to reduce the various stand
ards of time from over so to 5, and the min
ute hands of time pieces will be the same
throughout the country.
AS time was reckoned, person leaving
Boston for Jacksonville, Fla, would find his
watch differing from local time all along the
route, while under the new plan it would be
exactly right at every place. A person leav-
ing any Eastern city for the West would also
find his watch at variance with the time OF
the places he goes through, but hereafter the
minutes and seconds will always be right
but after division is past his watch will be
exactly an hour fast, fact very easily borne
in mind, while it is utterly impossible to keer
in ones memory the various local Il lines now
in use.
The time will thus be the same in Balt
more, Philadelphia, New York, and every
other place in the strip of country 900 mile
wide, of which the 10Th meridian is the centre

MARROW ESCAPE OF RAILROAD OFFICIALS
On Tuesday morning, about half-past eight
o'clock, Messrs. Geo. G. wilkins, l.. IL. Barker
and j. NJ. Thomas, all prominent officials of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, started from
Aberdeen with double team, with colored
of the country through which the extension of
the Philadelphia and Baltimore Central Rail
road is to be located. As they were driving
from the station passing freight train fright
ened their horses, which ran off. They ran
against telegraph POLE jumped back, and by
sharp turn hurled the vehicle down an en-
bankment, at the bottom of which the freight
train was running. Mr. Thomas and the driver
who occupied the front seat, jumped out in time
to escape the fall but Messrs. wilkins and Bar
ker, on the rear seat, were carried down the
bank, the vehicle falling on them. The specta-
tors at the station, witnessing the accident, ex-
pccted to see Messrs. wilkins and Barker grousd
up by the train, but the carriage stopped a few
inches short of the track. The frightened horses
jerked the wagon from off the PROSTATE travel
ers, and tore down the the track alongside the
rapidly moving cars. Mr.. wilkins sustained
an abrasion and bruise on the left temple, a cut
on the left eye, and was otherwise bruised
Mr.. Barker has his left ankle badly spraned,
and was bruised. The Southern mail tran due
i'll ten minutes was stopped and took the party
to Baltimore.

berg, Germany. She is 20 years old, feet 4
inches in height, and weighs BIZ lbs. The we'd
ding cake measured nine feet in circumference.
o. Bren is deyout Catholic while Miss Dunz is

love and religion, which was settled by having
Il double wedding The first was performed by
Catholic priest, in the Cathedral, in the pres
encc of n few friends only, after which the gigan-
tic couple entered u large carriage drawn by
four gray horses and were driven 10 the Luthe-
ran church, where they were married the second
time. The ushers consisted of snake harmers,
albinos, Aztecs and other persons from the

A Republican Issue for 1884.

The Republicans have no issue upon
which they can go before the country in 1884
and claim that they ought to be retained in
control of the general government. The
tariff issue, which was worked upon the fears
of capital in 1880, is now powerless in their
hands as n political lever. The Democratic
idea, incorporated in one shape or another in
so many of them State platforms, that pro-
lection must be an incident not prime OBJ
ject in adjusting the tariff, meets with general
approval, and in any controversy about the
tariff the Democrats would be likely to have
the best Of it. 1t is not surprising, therefore,
that the Republicans are turning to the
records OF the past, and remembering how
potent the bloody-shirt battle-cry was once,
are preparing to waive that ensanguined gar
ment again, hoping to conquer in that sign.
1t is this that has inspired the recent ad-
dress of Malone to the Readjuster party OF
Virginia. 1t breathes out threatenings and
slaughter; charging that the late election in
Virginia was carredby bribery and violence,
and that the negroes were shot down like
dogs On the contrary the election was pro-
nounced by unprecedented observers to have
been remarkably peaceable, orderly and fair.
Gen w. G. Wicllhan., prominent Virginia
Republican, declares that Mahone's address
contains wholesale ISLANDERS, and that no one
but lunatic could have written it. 1t is not
intended for his party in Virginia at ALL but
its object is to fire the Northern heart, with
the hope of getting n solid North arrayed
against a solid South. The project will fail,
we believe, and with it will fail all hope OF
the Republicans clecting the next President
The belief that the bloody shirt cry will be
raised in 1894 is general, and is shared in by
the Philadelphia Times, which says:
at is now believed in administration cir
cles and by Republicans generally that Ma.
homes defeat will be worth rs much in the
Presidential canvass as anything flowing
from success would have been. The want
with the Republicans has been and now is an
issue-somethng to direct attention from
the corruption ofthe government, The idea
isnow entertained that the Virginia election
has accomplished good deal towards sup.
plying this want. II depends on the success
of what is to be attempted for converting
Mahones defeat into war.cry how far this
idea is realized"

After the Election.

The election is over and the Democrats have
obtained Il triumph perhaps beyond their most
sanguine expectations. This is most gratifying
indeed and it is to be hoped that this same thing
may happen again and again for many years
to come. But to assure this the men elect
ed on the Democratic ticket must by their acts
show that the confidence in trusting them with
their votes shall not be betrayed. 1t would not
be well for those who are elected To be too much
elevated by their own personal popularity, as
those on the defeated ticket We're equally person.
ally popular and capable, and it was political
principle only that elected the one set of
men and defeated the other. And it Will not do
to always depend on the want of confidence that
the people have in the opposite party, nor even
in the influence of the Republican organ con-
soidating the Democratic party but those who
are elected must show by their acts that they are
worthy of the confidence reposed in them, by
carrying out the principles promulgated by their
party conventions. Let the members elected to
the legislature adhere strictly to the principles of
reform and economy of the last session and if
possible improve on the action OF that body, and
let the incoming board OF County Commissioners
do the same in regard to the retiring board and
all will be well. If these principles are properly
carried out the election of our ticket two years
hence will be an easy matter. ).

AN ANTE BELLUM NEwsPApER.-A friend
sends us copy Of the HuJord Times, paper
published in liavre de Grace, in 1860, by John
X. Donnelly. 1t contains letter from DR.. W.
Stump Forwood, giving an account of a lecture
delivered by Bayard Taylor, at Port Deposit a
letter from Dr. Thomas Il. Bond, on the
"Union," subject which agitated the public at
that time; the report of proceedings of a deba-
ting society, at which Slavery was discussed
The opinions of some of the disputants were so
different from what they would be willing to
acknowledge now days, that we will n OF draw
aside the veil. The paper also contains the levy
list, from which it appears that in those "good
old days" county taxes in Hartford were no less
than "A cents on the 500, or Z cents higher than
now 1t cost So $50 to collect the county taxes,
1890 were appropriated to pablo roads and
SS,G232l to public schools The county adj
ministration was then in the hands of the Know
Nothings. The Times long since passed away,
upon the death of Mr.. Donnelly. One paper
after another lived and died at IIavre de Grace
until the present RpuJlican came, and it is likely
to stay.

California last Sunday morning preached to his
former congregation at Christ Church, Rock
Spring, and confirmed eight persons. The
church was crowded In the evening Bishop
Wingfeld preached to II large congregation, at
Emmanuel Church, Bel Air. Ills sermons on
both occasions, were forcibe and eloquent.
After the sermon at Emmanuel he gave brief
account of his mission work in Northern Cali
forna. His diocese extends from Oregon
nearly to San Francisco, and embraces % coun-
ties, one of which is rs large as the entire State
of Maryland. Churches and ministers are few
and the average Californian contributes very
little to their support. One object of Bishop
Wingfeld's visit East was TO interest Episcopa-
lians in his mission work. Bishop Wingfeld
also has charge of fourishing college for boys,
st. Augustine, and st. Mary's school for girls,
both at Benicia, where he resides. Collections
were taken up at both churches, Sunday, in aid
