Terribly Scalded.-A son, aged IA years.
of Mr.. Noble, living on the old Philadelphia road,
near Rosedale, was terribly scalded on Wednes-
day of last week. He was scalding tomatoes at
Mr.. Bewig's canning house, and had just low
cred crate of tomatoes down into the boiling
water. when his feet slipped, and be plunged
headformost into the kettle of boiling water going
ND to his waist. He was pulled out by Mr.. Will
liam Hummell, and then the unfortunate lad
started for his home, but not arriving that night,
his parents being much alarmed at his absence,
made search for him next morning, but he was
not found until near the middle of the day, lying
in a corn field. He was in an unconscious con-
dition when found. DIR. W. II. Mace was called and
did all in his power to alleviate the suferings OF
the unfortunate youth.

Worth Knowing.-The Scientific American
says if bottle of pennyroyal is left uncorked in
a room at night, not mosquito or any other blood
sucker will be found there in the morning. Mix
potash with powdered meal and throw it into the
rat holes of cellar, and the rats will depart. If
a rat or mouse gets into your pantry, stuff into
its hole rag saturated with solution Of cayenne
pepper, and no rat or mouse will touch the rag
for the purpose of opening communication with a
depot of supplies.

No Cause for Alarm.

The defeat of Grover Cleveland is the most i'm
portant service that can now be rendered to the
Democracy.
The election of Grover Cleveland would be the
greatest injury that the Democracy could now be
called to endure.
Fortunately, it is now probable that the service
will be efficiently rendered and the injury proven
ted.

Picking Apples.-The proper picking of APP
pies is of great Importance. The best keeping
sorts will not be preserved well unless the fruit is
unipjured in gathering and packing securely.
The most approved method of picking is by hand,
with ladders, the fruit being put into grain
sack. The bottem and top of the sack are
brought together and tied, and then hung over
the shoulder. A short stick may be used to keep
the mouth of the sack open. The sack is quickly
and easily emptied by lowering the mouth and
lifting up the bottom. The sack can be lowered
into the barrel, and the apples will run out with
out being bruised, as when they poured in
from basket from the top. Many apple growers
prefer to put the fruit in heaps for few days,
that the skin may tougher.

Philadelphia paper of q recent date will be en-
couraging news to the farmer who has had his
wheat field visited by the good for-nothing spar
row, as well as to the careful housewife who has
to scrub and wash away the filth made by the
dirty sparrows: "Boys with slingshots, and
Thomas cats with tooth and claw are not the only
enemies of that prince of fighters, the European
sparrow. The agricultursts hate him because of
his depredations on grain fields; those who like
to sleep after 5 A. M. dislike his chatter, and
bird-love in general wish him destroyed be-
cause he is the tireless enemy and prosecutor of
innocent birds in general Petitions are, there
fore, being distributed for signatures for the
pests adjustment, upon which action is to be
taken by the American Ornithologists' Union of
New York."

Beecher and Cleveland,

". 7. Sun (Dem.)
For once Henry Ward Beecher is entirely right
When Blaine was nominated, people said Beocher
ought to support him because they are both tat
tooed men; yet Beecher went for Cleveland. But
now it turns out that Cleveland is worse tattooed
than Blaine, and with Beecher's own kind of tat
tooing. The Plymouth preacher is logical in sup
porting Cleveland.

Serious Accident at the Fair.-Mr. Fir

Serious Accident at the Fair.-Mr Firm
niger, of the Island of Jersey, Great Britain who
was one of the judges of cattle at the Baltimore
county fair, was very seriously injured on Thurs
day by being gored by bull owned by Mr.. B. 0.
Wilson. Drs. Jarrett and Massenburg rendered
medical attention, and the injured man was then
taken to Mt. Washington, where he is stopping
temporarily. The physicians gave it as their
opinion that Mr.. Firminger would be confined to
bed for several weeks.

Important to Voters.-There will be but
two days in October in which persons not already
registered will have an opportunity of doing SO,
beginning on the sixth day of that month. It is
scarcely necessary to remind voters of the i'm
portant elections for which they should qualify
themselves to exercise tho privilege of the
franchise this year. 1t may be sufficient to repeat
that no can vote legally at elections in Mary
land unless registered, whatever may be his other
qualification. Every person legally entitled to
vote is in duty bound to be properly registered
and to make that vote tell the regular election
days. If he fails to do this he violates his first
obligation as citizen to the community in which
he lives, to the State to which he looks for pro-
lection in his rights and to the country at large,
of which his vote is factor in choosing Presi-
dent and in promoting just legislation.

Equinoctial Storms.-The so-called equi-
noctiaI storm is one of the things that most peo-
pie never lose faith in. 1t is comparatively rare
for heavy rains to fall just at the time when the
sun crosses the line, and yet if the weather hap
pens to be dry at the autumn equinox, as it has
been this year, many persons appear to think
that the order of nature must have changed. 1t
is true that we commonly have much rain within
a few weeks of the equinox, but glance at any
weather record will show that September is quite
as remarkable for its droughts for its rainfall.
The apparent fruitless efforts of the heavens to
furnish rain as indicated by the winds and clouds
of the last week in this vicinity, have, however,
been interesting phenomena, and many amateur
weather prophets have a consequence sadly
shaken the confidence of their friends by predict
ing that equinoctial tempest was surely about to
burst.

MEssRs. SCHROEDER & Co.-Dear Sirs Il was
requested some four years ago to try your IRON
TONIC. Ihave since prescribed it freely and have
found its action one of the best. 1t is unsurpass
ed in anemia, general debility, indigestion, want
of appetite loss of strength lack of energy reten

ted or impure blood. In fact, in all cases requir-
ing an iron tonic 1 would unhesitatingly recon-
mend it as the best. JOS W. STEELE, NJ. d.

Hos.s4 IT'S affected by tie hog cholera none
have suffered more than the upper part of Long
Green Valley, and as some of the farmers neglect
to bury the carcasses, doubt the disease will
spread to an alarming extent unless the State vet
Urinary surgeon uses his authority in such cases.
Tho disease must be highly contagious, as whole
droves when attacked sicken and de- and this is
the case with the pen pigs we'll as those pastur
ing in the fields Solar, where bran sop is used
daily, there has been no sickness, and this is
thought by some of the farmers to be ready
remedy against the disease"
We learn from farmer in Long Green Valley
that whilst number of his neighbors have lost
great many hogs from cholera his own have so
far escaped the disease and he firmly believes
that this is entirely due to the fact that he has
been feeding them bran slop. He says the nitre
in the bran is what they need to keep them healthy
In Frederick county the cholera has been very
bad, many farmers losing all their hogs. Mr..
Gsmbrill, who has large mill near Frederick
city, had upwards of one hundred hogs and only
one of the number was taken with the disease
and it got we'll. He feeds bran freely and mixes
soap with the slop, and he thinks the latter in
gredient is what saved his stock but the gentle
man who gives us this information says that he
is convinced the bran slop would have saved Mr..
Gambrill's hog without the soap, although the
latter he says, is also known to be eficacious.

From Kansas citizen of Long Green, this
county, who has been in the west for several
weeks, writes us from Asherville, Mitchell county,
Kansas, under date Sept. 25th, as follows:
81 have been here several weeks and like the
country very much. There is no reason why an
energetic young man should not make money
here, but do not see any great advantages over
our own State, all things considered. The land
is cheaper than ours and more easily cultivated,
but grain and cattle are also much cheaper. In
the last few years, land here has advanced in
price about 100 per cent, and the crops have
been good. The only advantage the farmers
have over those in our State is in the rapid rise
in real ertate.
"From Kansas I will go to Tennessee, to visit
friends there formerly residents of Long Green
Valley. will also visit Mr.. Eli Yoder, brother
of Mr. Lewis Yoder, of Baltimore county, who
is resident of Reno county, Kansas.
'I have seen some large pumpkins here, but
none larger than are grown in Maryland, and
nothing in the grain or fruit line that surpass
ours.
'While on the pumpkin question, send you
the following, taken from a Kansas paper, de-
scribing a mammoth one grown here, and what
became of it:
"a farmer in the eastern part of the county
missed couple of his cows some days ago and a
diigent search and notices in the county papers
failed to bring them to light. Yesterday, how
ever, while in the field he noticed hole in one
side of pumpkin and on getting lantern and
going in he found the lost cows quitely eating
pumpkin seeds and getting fat. The hole in the
fruit was caused by the rapid growth of the vine
which had dragged in along over the ground for
about half mile.'"

Death of Another Old citizen.-Mr. Adam

Death of Another Old Citizen.-Mr. Adam
H. Krout another of Towsontown's oldest citizens,
died on Saturday evening last, at the residence of
his son-in law, Mr.. John E. FIayhart, in the 6Sth
year of his age. His health had been failing for
several years and he was unable to attend to any
business. The immediate cause of his death was
paralysis.
Mr.. Krout was born in Baltimore county and
was the youngest son of the late Michael Krout,
prominent citizen of New Market, in the upper
end of the county. In early life he built paper
mill in York county, which he conducted for some
years, but the venture not proving financial
time conducted the old Franklin Inn, on the
corner of High and Hillen streets. Relinquish-
ing the hotel business he came to Towsontown
about the year $780, and engaged in farming and
butchering. Subsequently he engaged in brick
making and building houses and it is singular
coincidence that he died in the first house he
erected which he built for the late John Ii. Long
necker. He also built several other houses in the
town.
Mr.. Krout was man of intelligence and very
energetic. He had a large acquaintance through
out the county, and will be remembered by many
of our older citizens. His wife, who survives him,
is sister of the late Judge Standford, of the 18th
district. He also leavs four children, Mr.. VIM.
B. Krout, of the Baltimore Sun, being one Of
them.
His funeral took place Monday afternoon, the
services being conducted by Rev. G. Herbert
Richardson. of Baltimore, and Rev. W. 7. D.
GLENN, of Towsontown M. E. church. His
mains were inferred in the Presbyterian cemetery
at Govanstown. The pall-b bearers were Messrs
Thos. Bond, A. Loose, w. S. Perine, j. Wesley
German, James Phipps and Sylvester Bowen.

4 Spoken Newspaper.

A curious and novel ide, that ofa spoken
newspaper, says correspondent, has been
carried into practical effect in Paris with
out, however, meeting with any great en-
couragement from the public. Properly
speaking, the newspaper in question is no
newspaper at all, the fact being that num-
Der of journalists appeared before an audi
ence at the Athenee Theater and delivered
addresses similar in form to the different
articles in daily journal. One gave an
account of the previous days setting in the
Chamber of Deputies, another spoke OF pol
itics, third gave the telegraphic news'anc
SO on. The reading of feui!leton in l'nl
tation of the style of Emile Zola caused
amusement, and some sketches by NJ. Ii
Petit, the well-known caricatnriSt, which
were added, were welt received; but the Sc
rious articles or addresses fell quite flat
and the editor of the paper acknowledge
that his first effort had not proven very sue
cessful.

Died from Drink.
ri LADIES OF THE SOCIETY.

Garry Burke, better known in this COM
munity as alive Hundred" was found dead
in the streets OF Livingston recently. Thus
?erished in the streets on cold winters
night, with no eye to pity and no hand to
minister unto him, with the frozen earth
for bed, about which no drarery was
spread, save feecy white mantle Of wind
driven snow, and only the blue canopy Of
heaven with its twinkling stars for cover,
the man who would in his better days have
shared his last loaf with his fellow man.
He was an old-time resident Of Helena, but
in late years, since he has become slave
to whisky and cards has been thu,npcd
around from one place to another, and is
known in Meagher, Gallatin and other
counties in Montana as a ''dead beat" But
whatever may be said Of him, he was gem
erous and liberal, and under proper infiu-
ences, would have made good citizen.
His wretched life for the past few years and
wretched death, should serve aSaswsrning
to many now travelling the sane road
HesbaNdsas.
