The Great Snow Storm.


The snow storm which began on Tuesday
and lasted until Thursday in this section was
general throughout the United States, though
the fall of snow was heaviest in the South and
of shorter duration. 49, -ts.st
Reports show that the snow was foot deep in
Washington; q inches at Petersburg, Va, with
drifts from to feet; Richmond, Va, Is
inches; along the line of heChesapeake& Ohio
railroad, from 20 inches to 2 feet; Snow Hill,
Md, 18 inches, with drifts from 6 to 8 feet.
The storm extended to the Gulf States, and
trains were generally delayed in the South:
The storm was severe in New England land in
Minnesota partook of the nature of blizzard.
Trains ON the Rock Island Road, between Keo-
kuk and Des Moines, Iowa, were abandoned
Wednesday night by reason of the snow block
ade west ofPella. The Wabash had two trains
in snow bank west of Centreville, Ind. The
Chicago, Burlington and Kansas City was
blockaded between Moulton and Bloomfield.
A heavy snow-storm prevailed at Halifax,
N. S., on Wednesday. At Ottawa, Ont, the
temperature fell to 80 degrees below zero.
The storm at Cape Cod was considered the
most severe of the season, but no wrecks
were reported. The wind blew fercely on the
New Jersey coast, and the tide rose so high
at Atlantic City that families living near
the beach were compelled to remove to the sec
ond story of their houses. Bath houses were
wrecked and board walk washed away.

Studies in the Public Schools.

From the Stamton, Va, indicator:
The conference of the Public School Su-
perintendents of Virginia will take place at
Richmond on the 9th of February. 1t may
not be amiss to call their attention early to
the fact that in some of the states which have
been longest the possessors of what has been
deemed a perfect school system, there is now
growing sentiment against the number of
studies enforced on pupils, and in favor of a
narrower field and more concentration. In
New York, where the public mind has been
gradually emancipating itself from the old
New England system, this sentiment is max
ing itself heard, and even in New England
itself the errors Of this pet system are begin
ming to be felt and admitted. In New Hamp-
shire in the past year eighty-nine public
schools have gone out of existence, and
the attendance has fallen off in those that
remain. The superintendent of schools in
that state, in explaining this, complains that
the schools do not do thorough work, leaving
the boys hands, eyes and ears unframed,
examining his memory with useless things and
attempting to enlighten his understanding
with visionary and absurd illustrations.

n,aDocuu,e,,ts.

Mr. Lewis Shaffer, near this city, has shown
us some old legal papers, among which is
the original deed for the property he now re-
sides on, issued August 10th, ff53, from
Thomas Craddock to Samuel BUGGY for50
acres of land called '!Hatchet," beginnlng,at
two bounded white oaks, standing on the
south side of a branch called the Great Gran
berry Fork also deed from John Murray,
son of Jabez, dated March 2, 1881, for 80
acres, on the south side of the Great Gran
berry Fork; also deed from Samuel Owlngs
and Stephen Winchester, dated June Is, 1913,
for tract of land called ''Iron Intention"
containing 28f acres for ESQ current money;
also deed from Nicholas human, OF York
county, Pa, to John Murray, son of Jabez,
dated January 14th, HI, for so acres; also
a patent for 10 acres granted Jacob Shaver,
(Shaffer as it is now written) dated June Sd,
1888; also deed dated May 18th, 1774, from
Michael Dell to Jacob Shaffer, for IL acres;
also bond from Samuel Owings, for e1l2
for the faithful conveyance of one OF the tracts
of land mentioned above; also a deed from
John Durbin to Jacob Sheafer, for 1854 acres
called ''Matshatchet'' for G147; also an order
from the Register of Wills of Baltimore coun-
ty, appointing John Shafer executor of Jacob
Shafer. June u, 1900; also bond from Jacob
Shaffer to John Shaffer for $500.
Among the papers is the following MS
may certify that Jacob Shafer, German Pro-
testant, came into the Provincial Court of
Maryland this 18th day of May, 1774, between
the hours of and II of the clock, in the
forenoon of the same day, and was naturalized
according to an Act of Parliament made and
passed in the thirteenth year of the Dominion
of his late Majesty, King George the second,
entitled an Act for naturalizing such foreign
Protestants and others therein mentioned as
are settled or shall settle in any of his Majesty
Colonies in America. r. GHIsEIIN, Clerk.
Jacob Shaffer, great grandfather of Mr..
Lewis Shafer, died in 1900, at the age of IS
years; his grand father, John Shaffer, died in
1928 at the age of y, and his father, Abraham
Shaffer, died in 1872 aged 76 years.
Very few persons have preserved the orlgi-
nal deeds of their ancestors with as much care
as Mr.. Shaffer, and he is to be commended
for it. The best thing for him to do with
them is to send them to the Maryland Histori-
cal Society, Baltimore, where they will be
preserved. They are DESTROYS of obtaining
such papers and they are making every effort
to obtain them, having advertised for such in
the daily papers. $780,. .....

The large merchant Touring mill at this
place, owned and operated by Mr.. Z. b. An
ders, was burned on Thursday night OF last
week. The fire originated on the third or
uppermost story of the mill by the heating of
journal, and was first discovered by Mr. ID.
C. Warner from his residence, who, noticing
a rather strange kind of light, concluded
that it was fire. Mr.. Warner Immediately
ran to the mill, bursted open the door OF the
office room and found Mr.. Anders posting
his books and not asleep, as reported by
some of the papers last week. Soon other
help was at hand, but no Roadway could be
made upon the flames as they were confined
principally to the top floor and could not be
reached on account of the dense smoke. The
fire spread rapidly, the mill being IN motion
the elevators lent their aid in spreading the
fire by carrying it from the top to the bottom
of the mill, and in q very short time the
whole mill was in flames. So great was the
fire that the houses of Martin Fogle and ID.
p. Sayler narrowly escaped destruction. The
country was lit up for miles around, at Oak
hill, distance of three miles, it was light
enough to read newspaper; at keysVllle
some of the people thought the Judgment
day was coming" A large crowd OF people
came from the surrounding country. One
man coming from distance was within twenty
yards of the burning building, and even then
did not know where it was. The people gen
orally were excited +; as proof, four men tore
up and removed from the mill one of Fair
banks platform scales, when on the next day
it was necessary to remove them again, ten
men were working and did not do it as easily
as the four. Mr.. Anders' loss on the mill and
machinery will reach $4,000, upon which
there was an insurance in Baltimore county
and Frederick county companies to the amount
of about $4,000; his loss on wheat, flour and
feed will reach $3.50, upon which there was
an insurance of $500 in Washington county
Company. He added about $1,000 worth OF
machinery early in the fall that had no lnsur,
ance He had the largest stock ON hand
since he has been here, and applied ON the
day before for more insurance, but 1t was too
late. The loss to the community will be
deeply felt by all classes of people: AS
wheat market there was none better IN west
ern Maryland. Farmers always had the adj
vantage of the Baltimore market. The flour
from this mill found the highest prices and at
the time of the fire Mr.. Anders was dong
an extensive foreign trade. AS mlll-slte
there is none better in Frederick or Carroll
counties, and it is to be hoped that 1t Will

A meeting of the Democratic State Com
mittee of Maine was held at Augusta Thursday
night with closed doors. Every county was
represented, and prominent members of the
party were present. There was much talk as
to the present condition and prospects of the
party. 1t is understood that henceforth all
coalitions and attempts at fusion will be avoid
ed, that all sumptuary laws will be opposed,
and plank recommended opposing the pro-
hibitory liquor law. 1t was agreed that a
spirit of Cancellation should be manifested to-
ward the former Greenback wing of the party
and that the Greenbackers be retained in the
Democratic ranks if possible. F. B. Torrey,
of Bath, was reelected chairman, and T. H.
Murch, of Belfast, secretary.

At the cross roads, near this place, on the
18th of December, Philip Smith, colored, died
suddenly of old age. He was probably the
oldest inhabitant of this section, being 80
years of age.
Mr.. Vim. Stocksdale, of this place, recently
bought farm, situated a mile from the vii
lage, of Mr. Augustus Falls, of Baltimore.
The place contains 10 acres, for which MIR.
Stocksdale paid 81, 100.
On closing his school for the holidays, Mr.
j. Earhart distributed confectionery, &C.,
among his pupils, who presented him with a
writing desk and Christmas card. Miss M.
johnson treated her scholars to fruit, and re-
ceived from them pretty glass tureen.
The M. p. parsonage, occupied by Kew.
w. Litsinger was lately visited by some mem
bers of Mt. Zion Church, who took to their
pastor substantial testimonials of their re-
gard The Sabbath school of the church a
short time since presented to Rev. q. Nc
Ready handsome lap blanket. The school
gave a jubilee entertainment on Thursday
night, December28. The church was prettily
decorated with evergreens, wrought in en-
blematic designs, and growing plants. Good
music by the school was a most pleasing part
of the programme. Mr.. S. c. Ohrem ad-
dressed the children of the school, after which
they, through Mr.. f. Herring, presented to
Mr.. G. w. Horner pair of spectacles set in
heavy gold frames. The gift was an express
sion of their appreciation of his services as
their leader in singing for the past fourteen
years. Their superintendent, Mr.. H. Wilson,
received from Miss j. Patterson, on the part
of the pupils, a beautiful autograph album and
Christmas card. The closing act was boun,
tifu distribution of confectionery, fruit and
cake, first to the members of the school and
afterwards to the audience. 1t is needless to
add that this was not the least pleasing feature
of the entertainment. This was the only pub
lie reunion during the holidays. There were
social visits and the usual interchange of the
civilites of the season. A few masquerade
parties paid their respects to theirfriends and
their refreshments.
A prosperous and happy year to the edi-
tors, correspondents and friends of the AID
vOCATE.
The Sunday School of White Hope Chapel
assembled at the church on Thursday night of
last week. After appropriate religious exer-
cises, a new years treat, consisting of con
fectionery, nuts, cakes and apples, was dis
tributed among the children.

Carroll TO Lose Another Industry.

1t appears that Carroll county is to lose an
other industry, and it, like the Taylor Works,
is to go to, Chambersburg, Pa. The Public q
Opinion, Of that place, said that Mr.. W. I.
Haugh, of Taneytown, paid visit to Cham
bersburg last week for the purpose of making
arrangements to move his agricultural ma
chine shops from that place to Chambersburg.
To this end he opened negotiations for the
purchase of the two exhibition buildings on
the fair grounds, and eight lots, upon which
he purposes to erect shops for the manufac-
ture Of separators, grain drills, hay rakes,
&C., and repairs to agricultural machinery.
Mr.. Haugh, says the Opinion, proposes to
fit up the main exhibition building as dwell
ling house for the workingmen, by the addi-
ton of third story, and build shops on the
adjoining lots. 1t is intended to work from
30 to 40 hands
