Our pavements have been icy at places,
but those of Emmitsburg at the time of our
visit last Friday were terror to Accident
Insurance companies. We are under the
impression that we walked on ice a foot
thick, over pavement on the south side of
town and we really imagined that some of
the good people watched us with the expcc-
tation of seeing or hearing somthing funny
when we should exchange our perpcndicu-
lar for horizontal position.
RAILROAD AFFAIRs.-Thc board of direct
ors of the Western Maryland Railroad Com.
pany, at their monthly meeting at Hillen
Station on Wednesday OF last week, ordered
contracts to be made for new equipment,
which will place the road in first-class con-
dition. Four new locomotives, 10 passenger
coaches and 100 additional freight cars were
authorized to be ready for use in the spring
Twenty five hundred tons of steel rails will
also be laid the present year. Over 90 miles
of the road are now steel track, and the
whole line will be laid with steel before the
close of 1884. The cost of these bctterments
will be met from the funds appropriated by
the city for that purpose. The Southern
Dispatch Fast Freight Line, which went in
to operation on January I, is giving general
satisfaction to the mercantile community,
and the business in through fast frei!ehts is
increasing. President Hood stated that he is
hopeful that the Postoflicc Department will
come to the assistance of his road in estab-
fishing an early morning train from Balti
more to Hagcrstown to connect with the
Shenandoah Valley train south from that
point.

ST. VALENTINE DAY approaches and al
ready it is horalded by The ridiculous carica-
lures of the two sexes that have taken the
place of the ancient graceful symbolic mean
ing of the festival. Back as far as the fif
tcenth century St. Valentines Day was OBJ
served by the young people, who would as
semble and write their names upon slips of
paper and then lottery wise they would draw
them and the person thus drawn became
ones Valentine for the coming year. These
imaginary engagements frequently led to
real ones. The connection of the custom
with st. Valentines Day was purely acct
dental and came down from pagan times and
was given religious aspect by substituting
the names of particular dcitics for those Of
the women. The most rational explanation
given is that about this time Of the year the
birds choose their mates and that thence
came the custom Of the young men and
maidcns choosing valentines, or special low
ing friends on that day. Nightly, indeed,
has that happy and graceful custom fallen ;
degenerating as it has into the hideous car
toons that now give the sole sifniticancc to
the day.

CAN'T Touch Ir.-The Banner man as
posted. He kindly acceded to our request
and gave us last week his IDEAS of how a
woman acts when she gets a letter from her
best fellow. 1t gives evidence of such clear
insight into the feminine ways, that we give
it space.
"Our optical experience is, that if she be
strong minded female, and the letter be from
her lover, she will open it right at the post
office and leisurely read it along the street,
but if she be a little timd about the content.
she will slip it into one Of the two recepta-
cles of her dress, hurry home to her private
apartments, and there free from all human
eyes, with her heart beating about $50 to tile
minute, she will manage to get the missile
from the envelope and nervously proceed to
read it. If it he tender and loving message
she Will read 1t about hve times, con1lde IL 10
her bosom, and then proceed to her duties !;
but fit disappoints her, she will read it the
second time only and then put it in her
trunk, under lock and key. Now, brother
g., give us your idca,-w know it is better
one"
We dare not aspire to the production of
anything 80 real, but we would really like to
know more concerning the "teoo receptaclcs."

Owing to the prevailing musty and soft
condition of the corn, our farmers have been
unusually active and early in looking up
their seed corn for the coming season. There
will doubtless be trouble in case the greatest
care is not exercised in the selection OF
sound, wellpreserved kernels for planting.
