From Mt. Washington, This village is now
considered the suburban retreat of Baltimore city s
merchants, and am glad to report the many i'm
provements going The change in the charac-
ter of the place is quite noticeable and prosperity
seems to be ON every hand.
The new town hall is under contract and will no
doubt add largely to that prosperity and cosmo-
politan reputation which will bring to our midst
still more inhabitants.
The coming winter season is to be made unusu-
ally attractive in the way of amusements and en-
ioyment. A social club has been organized, which
promises to make "dull winter with its cares slip
easy BY"
The population Of the village has been and con-
tinues to be much added to, and am not surprised
at this, becausea more charming place can nowhere
be found one with as many real advantages, all
the comforts and enjoyments of city life being
right at hand
Improvements are constantly going on and our
carpenter and builder is kept fully employed new
houses going up and lots being taken up. The
builder of the new hall is Henry A. Maggie, bridge
superintendent of the county. No doubt he will
make q good job. OF the many new houses going
up your other correspondents have spoken.
The churches show how in the last few years the
place has flied up. From sparse and meagre con-
gregations they are all now well filed, and filled
with attentive and reverent congregations. Rev.
DIR. Purcell, the rector of the Episcopal church,
has done much good work and his labors have at
tached to him the people of his congregation. The
Presbyterian and Methodist churches also seem to
be well attended, and the Catholic church is -four
ishing under Father Femme.
1t would be good thing if the railroad compa-
ny would issue a ticket for cheaper round trip
fares-something about % cents. They would
make by it.

last week. 1t was such an unmitigated fraud out.

To Peach Growers.-If peacl

To Peach Growers.-If peach growers will
go through their orchards every fall and examine
each tree closely they will find upon many of them
gum oozing from the trunk near the ground. By
brushing away the gum small white grub with
black head will be found drilling his way through
the bark Kill all of these pests and the trees
will not suffer from borers. The warm weather
of November is the best time for doing this work.

How to Cure Sore Throat One who

How to Cure Sore Throat.-0n who has
tried it recommends the following cure for sore
threats: "Let each person buy at any drug store
one ounce of camphOrated OIL and FIVE cents worth
of chlorate of potash. Whenever any soreness
appears in the throat put the potash in. half a
tumbler of water, and with it gargle the throat
thoroughly with the camphorate oil at night be-

Abundant Crops.-The crops of roots TIL

Abundant Crops.-The crops of roots this
year-cooking turnips, rutabagas, sugar beets.
etc.-will be perhaps the largest ever gathered.
The weather was never more favorable for their
growth. Celery, also, viii be an exceptionally
abundant crop. The second crop of clover hay
has been unusually good. The quantity of clover
seed also has seldom been equaled. The pas
lures have been very luxuriant, with but little
frost to inure the nutrition. Butter continues to
be of excellent quality, and farmers cannot com
plain of the price. The yield of potatoes is bet
ter than usual, and they have been gathered with
more than ordinary facility.

Robbery in Towsontown

Robbery in Towsontown.-The saloon of
James II. Lindsay in this town, was broken into
and robbed on Wednesday night of this week.
The thieves secured about $40 in specie. An en-
trance was also made into the Office of Messrs. F
S. Corkran Son, on the turnpike, near the rail-
road crossing, but beyond boring one or two holes
in the door of the safe, nothing else disturbed
1t is quite likely the rascals frightened off
before they had time to blow it open. Had they
succeeded in opening the safe they would not
have secured over rs cents, the Messrs Corkral
never keeping money in it.

How to make Lawns, Etc.-If one is to
succeed with lawn or with ornamental trees and
shrubs, he must make careful preparation =
Nearly all the failures come from neglect in this
respect. In the first place all sod, weeds and roots
Of whatever nature must be eradicated This will
often require a year or two of close cultivation
The soil should be rich. Do not pile on coarse
and unrotted barnyard manure like cQrustelks and
SLrHW. rInc, ououfu
used and it should be entirely free from all weed
seeds. If the soil is naturally cold and damp.
give it good undertakings. The drains should
be made with tiles, each laid by measurement
All calculations should be made for permanent
lawn, and any lack of preparation in the begin
ming will result in continued displeasure. Once
well made, lawn is comparatively little trouble
or expense.

An Interesting Relic.-The Belair Times
says: "Among the exhibits in the household de-
partment at our recent fair was child's shoe, old
and worn, which attracted no little attention.
This shoe has the following interesting history :
This shoe has been in the possession of the Norris
family, near wilma, for several generations, and
is considerably more than hundred years old,
probably hundred and fifty. 1t belonged to a
child five years of age who was lost. She accom-
panied some of the male members of her family
from her home, the present residence of d. Lee
Norris, to the home of another branch of the fam
ily where the country residence of j. Alex Shriver
is now situated. They left her there while they
went to attend court, then in session at Joppa.-
She attempted to return home alone through what
was then a wilderness, and was lost. Court ad-
journed to assist in the search, which was found
to be unavailing, and the following spring some
persons we're attracted by the lowing of cattle
around certain spot, and this shoe and the bones
of the child were found. 1t has been kept as a
family relic since, and is now the property Of
Mrs. Cardiff D. Norris"

Grape Growers Maxims.-1. Prepare the
ground in fall; plant in spring.
2. Give the vine plenty of manure, old and well
decomposed, for fresh manure excites the growth,
but does not manure it.
3. Luxuriant growth does not insure fruit.
4. Dig deep and plant shallow.
5. Young vines produce beautiful fruit, but old
vines produce the richest.
6. Prune in autumn to insure growth, but in
spring to insure fruitfulness.
Z. Plant your vines before you put up trellises.
s. Vines like old soldiers, should have good
arms.
9. Prune spurs to developed bud, for the
nearer the old wood the higher favored the fruit.
TO- Those who prune long must soon climb.
IL. Vine leaves love the sun the fruit, the
shade.
H. Every leaf has bud at the base, and either
a branch or tendril opposite it.
10. A tendril is an abortive fruit bunch-a bunch
of fruit productive tendril.

Death of Thomas Sturgis Davis.-Mr T.
Sturgis Davis, well-known in this county, died at
the residence of his brother in law, Mr.. Chas. Ii.
Baker, near Cross Keys, Falls road, on Friday
morning of last week, in his 50th year. He was
a son of Samuel Davis, of Johnstown, Pa, and a
nephew of the venerable Evan Davis, of Davis
vile, this county. When quite young man he
taught school at Rockland, on the Falls road.
Previous to the late civil war he was for
a considerable time in the Clerks office in this
town, during which period he devoted much of his
time to the study of law. When the war broke
out he went South, and was promoted from o Dri-
yate step by step to the rank of colonel. In 1864
his horse was shot under him and fell on his leg,
which so disabled him that he captured and
imprisoned in Fort Delaware and other places for
about year, until the war ended, and he was re-
leased and returned home. He then resumed the
study of law here and was admitted to the bar in
1865. In 1871 he married Mrs. Ella V. Early,
daughter of the late Peter NOVEL;. His wife, who
died several years ago, left him the legacy of $500
per year during his lifetime. Mr.. Davis was elect
ed to the State Senate in 1872 and served four
years. He was fond of literature and well versed
in the English classics. Mr.. Davis had suffered a
long time with kidney trouble and heart affection,
but his death was very unexpected. He had
been confined more or less for two weeks to his
bed. He made his home with his BROTHER in law,
Mr.. Baker. Mr.. Davis was tall, ell-proportioned
and strikingly handsome man. He was brother
of Mr.. Phineas J. Davis, formerly resident of
Towsontown.
The funeral took place at the Baptist church, at
Black Rock, or Sunday last, Rev. Mr.. Flock, ofthe
Hampden Baptist church, conducting the services
at Mr. Bakers residence, and Rev. Mr.. Chick Off
ciating at the church.
Mr.. Davis many friends in this county were
panied to hear of his death.
