Messrs. Buckley and StOner, on account Of
the large quantity ofgrain delivered at their

a fire company was partially organized last

PatapScO Items.

Our citizen farmers have been unusually
busy during the last week or ten days in plant
ing corn, potatoes and other spring crops.
Potatoes seem to be Il speciality this season,
taking the place of the trucking business in a
great measure.
The orchards in our neighborhood are
beautifully clothed with an abundant bloom
which promises us plenty of fruit if hoary
frost should not claim it for his own.
Mr. Jacob Bolinger has recently opened n
grocery and liquor store in our town, so that
we can now boast Of three stores IN the place.
In addition to three stores, we have two shoe
maker shops, a blacksmith shop, a carriage
mandatory, a barber, and a bone, plaster
and fertilizer establishment.
A mania for building fine houses seems to
have seized upon some of our most enterpris-
ing citizens. Mr. Samuel Elseroad has Il
brick house now in course of construction at
Houcksville; Mr. George Stull, Cornelius
Armacost, Ezra Chew, Thomas Shilling and
VIM. Tanner each has frame buildings in pro-
gress of building, in and around our neigh
borhood; Mr.. Jacob NJ. Leppo also has built
a new switzer barn. There are yet many
beautiful and healthy sites i'll close proximity
to the station for country residences which
could be purchased cheaply, which fact, in
connection with the short distance from the
city of Baltimore and the railroad facilities,
make it very desirable and advantageous
locality, one which gentlemen doing business
in the city and wishing to reside in the coun-
try with their families, we think should avail
themselves of and will no doubt ere long.
The grain is looking well with few eXcep-
tons.
The Patapsco Sabbath School was reor-

Our farmers are nearly done planting corn,
and are beginning to haul bark and do other
work that is generally done after corn planting
One dav last week Mr.. Columbus Cover,
living near Denning's had quite an accident
with two of his horses, which may prove to
be fatal to one or both of them. 1t seems
that Mr. Cover put his hired boy to narrowing
corn ground, and the boy let the harrow hook
fast to a stump, and in raising the harrow
over the stump he let it come down with one
tooth catching the singletree. The horses,
which are young, became frightened and ran
away with the harrow, the boy or young man
not being able to hold them. Both the horses
injured themselves very dangerously; one is
not expected to live, the sharp teeth of the
harrow piercing them very deeply in several
places.
One night last week some thief or thieves
stole from Andrew Albaugh twenty-five or
thirty very nice young chickens. They were
just ready for the market. Mr.. Albaugh is a
very successful poultry raiser, and somebody
has found it out
On the same night, and no doubt the same
thief or thieves, went to Mr.. p. j. Bennett S
and relieved him of some twenty old hens
that he had cooped up the day before for the
huckster. Mr.. Bennett says he will give $50
reward for the apprehension of the thief or
thieves.

Mr. Frank Brown sold two more farms this
week off of his Springfield estate-one of lis
acres to John p. Phillinger, and one of los
acres to J. Thomas Harris. Both the pur-
chasers are residents of this district. Mr.
Brown has now disposed of 462 acres, at an
average price of S37 per acre, and intends
selling more, as he is anxious to reduce the
size of his farm to 500 acres. Mr.. Brown
takes a practical view of farming, and eX-
pressed himself in favor of small farms as
benefting the agricultural interest of the state.
Many strange faces have been seen in the
neighborhood lately-parties in quest of coun-

The wheat is looking remarkably well in

Sykesville is piled up with self-binders, which
