I We took dinner at the Robinson house
Sl Marlell Sunday. Mine host Robin
son entertains a large number ct Coop
erstown people each week. The cap
tain s vegetable garden II ffu,ttt acres is
refreshing sight, in Il land where every
square yard of ground will raise vegeta-
bles enough for y family. and. yet,whers
canned goods appear On the table with
untailing regularity. The captains
garden is us free FROM weeds as Il city
hot house. and everything vegetable is
found there from green corn to vegeta-
BILE oysters, and potatoes to red peppers.
III this bonanza garden was contiguous to
a city it would certainly be profitable,
out located as it is. tbs captains COWS
and horses will wax fat, While we lovers
of canned goods will gradually get filled
up with cold tin, rosiM, solder and noNi-
Gus acids. The same amount ofyegetable
vegetables is really. cheaper than the tim
article. 1t is probable that if a family
were to steal a few vegetables iii the
vegetable season, the recording angel, in
making a note of the transaction, would
drop tear and blot out the account,
as in Uncle Toby's case. AS near as
can be estimated by the captain, the
Mardell garden contains: Oae thou
sand heads cabbage and caul;lower;
1000 dozen sweet corn; 10000 pounds
different varieties of beets; 1000 pounds
carrots; so bushels vegetable oysters:
$50 bushels of onions; 5 bushels navy
beans; % barrels of onion sets: $50 hills
of tomatoes-very thrifty plants, and
.-zr;,,it we'll alTanced. Peas, buttel
|baans. sugar pu:noiiin, all y;....eties c.
squash, cucumbers, lettuce, radish spin
ach, horse radsh. pie plant and peppers
in proportion. Two barrels new prize
potatoes, the seed of which cost GO cents
per pound; will yield largely and tubar,
of singular beauty AMI excellence.
These vegetables can be procured at the
garden for a moderate price, Area o
vegetable garden two and a quarte

of three AMI threa-qnartar acres.

Our PyrOtechnicaI Display Tomorrow

Our patriotic fellow citizen, and
tonsorial artist. Mr.. Fred. Finke, hav-
ing been granted permission by our
corporation to give a pyrotechnical
display on the night of the 4th, has
furnished us with the following
programme for this occasion:
Part Etrst.-A salute of 90 cannon
crackers; bombmines, Roman candles,
triangles, gold showers, with stars,
vertical wheel, colored fire-red with
Jumbo floating in the air, if calm,
and the Annapolis Cornet Band play
ing 80, Jumbo"
Part Second Roman candles,
showers of stars, in mid air.. silver
shower, with stars, (new;) double
triangles; gold shower of stars; China

wheel battery of colored stars; col
ored fire-red, green and blue, with

throwing showers of colored stars
in every direction. The whole to

Take a Brief Holiday.

Let every one who can afford it
take brief holiday There is no use
in constant, tedious labor You wear
yourself out, whatever may be your
occupation, and self-destruction, the
good book says is crime. Railroad
fare is lower than ever. If youYcan-
not afford this expense, take drive
out into the country. If even this
requires too great al outlay of money,
take a row on the beautiful Spa, or a
walk into the country BE your trip
made in whatever way it may, let it
be trip of some kind and respite
from labor Choose the most oppor-
tune time, and nothing will suffer by
it. This thing of "dying in harness"
is nice enough to talk about, but it
won't hurt the harness to hang idle
for day or a week or two, half as
much as it will for you to toll on in
cestantly without any respite from
your labor. But this will do for
others, but not for the poor, delving
printer-whose 'only rest and cessa-
tion from labor is likened unto that
borne from whence no traveller ever
returns-our endless rest.

A Sensation ON a Train.

There was commotion on the 5
O'Clock train out of Washington, yes.
terday afternoon, over the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, at what appeared
to be a man thrown from passing ex-
press train, between Beltsville and Sun
nysideStations. Passengers scrambled
for the windows and doors to see the
supposed man roll down the embank-
ment, and inquired if he had been
killed. The train to Baltimore stop
ped and went back hal-mile to the
place, and as Conductor Brownley
approached the object the passengers
looked in evident horror. 1t turned
out to be a black satchel, which had
probably fallen out of the express car
window, but it strongly resembIed
man rolling down hill. The satchel
was taken to Baltimore.

Reduction in the Hydrant Wafer.

No doubt consumers of hydrant
water will be agreeably surprised on
receipt of their bills for the quarter
ending July 1st, to find there has
been a reduction from SIS to $12 a
year on hydrants, and proportionate
reduction on bath-tubs, water closets,
street-sprinklers, &c The company
at their last meeting determined upon
this course believing it would event
ually be for the benefit of all concerned
This is step in the right direction
and one worthy of commentator. and
this example is to be recommended to
our gas company. This step we
have no doubt will considerably In
crease the number Of consumers Of
water in our city.
