Three of our Members.-The Baltimor,

Three of our Members.-The Baltimore
American of Monday gives brief sketches of q
number of the members of the present Legislature.
Of three of Baltimore county's delegates it says
"Messrs. Brady and 0ffutt are the leaders of the
Baltimore county members. They are good
speakers and men of undoubted ability Offutt is
the so-called "kicker' of the House, and no meas
ure can pass if he thinks there is a snake in it
unless it has first been thoroughly discussed. He
is one of the few who publicly stated that if it
required any promise on his part to aid in secur-
ing appropriations in order to get Office for his
constituents he would rather lose the latter and
stick to principle. In Ofutt and Brady the city
will find two opponents to the extension bill not
to be despised. Lindsay of this county is the
youngest member in the House, having only with
in few years passed his majority"

Mg-A correspondent of the Lititz, Pa, Erpress
says: "The strawberrie and celery from one acre
of land on the farm of H. M. Engle, near Mari
eta, last year, brought at market $1,000. A few
years ago Joseph Windolph planted about one
acre with tomatoes. He sold in Columbia mar
ket one hundred bushels at So per bushel. Nearly
his whole crop was sold before his neighbors had
any to sell. Mr.. Rutter, of West Chester, has
taken four hundred bushels of strawberries from
one acre of land"

who retained all her faculties unimpaired in her
extreme old age. Her property, which is con-
sidered very valuable, is divided among her eight

More About the Stolen Horse.-THE
Union last week contained an item giving an ac-
count of the capture of horse in Hanover, Pa,
which had been stolen from this county. The
Hanover Herald of 9th instant throws more light
on the subject. Itsays: "On Monday Mr.. Joseph
Price, of near Cockeysville, Md, came to this
place, accompanied by Baltimore county con-
stable. Mr.. Price identified as his property the
horse taken from the supposed thief by Constable
Kuhn, the Friday before, saying the animal had
been stolen and identifying the thief as his nephew,
Charles Jessup. The young horse thief voun-
tarily went with the constable and his uncle to
Baltimore county, without the formality of re-
auisition. We have not learned what further
proceedings were there taken in the case"

Friends of the Maryland Central.-On
Wednesday the Merchants and Manufactures
Association of Old Town held meeting at which
the following was adopted:
"WHEREAs the completion of the Maryland
Central Railroad to the northern limits of our
city opens up to railroad traffic section OF coun-
try whose people have long held close business
and social relations with Old Town; and whereas
this travel and traffic is to large extent being
withheld and diverted from that section of the
city; and whereas the Maryland Central Railroad
has completed its road to the city limits without
receiving dollar from the municipal treasury,
this Association asks the city of Baltimore, in its
corporate capacity, to help the road to reach some
central portion of the CITY,.

Reisterstown, 4th District.-Our town lies
too high to giveits citizens much fear on account
of the extended rain but of mud we have our
share, with small hopes of anything different for
several months of varying weather yet before u.s.
Notwithstanding hevery unfavorable weather,
this evening (12th) the literary society was very
we'll attended. Very few seats were empty.
Quite spirit of interest has grown up recently
for the society. Last winter it was difficult to get
together a complimentary audience on the best OF
evenings with good programme. On this oc-
cason the Rev. +. A. Chick, chairman, an
nounced as follows: Music by Miss Katie Park
ison and Miss Ella Benson at the piano, and Miss
Passano accompanying with the organ. making
very beautiful effect; piano solo from memory
by May Russell, faultessly rendered; alecture by
Mr.. Boyle, of Baltimore, editor of the Episcopat
Methodist, subject-"Only Drop" in which, in
beautiful language, sound logic and pure diction,
he set forth the forms, offices and general mission
of so useful a gift as water. By way OF criticism
I would say the lecturer was degree too scien-
tifc for the general listener. Next, beautiful
piano solo by Miss Alice Chick, closing with
piano duets by Miss Katie Parkison and her
brother the Dr., to whose practical touch music
the most charming leaps forth. Next Tuesday
evening R. Q. Taylor, of Baltimore, will read and
Prof Wolfe, of st Georges, furnish music, assisted
possibly by a lady soloist of Baltimore.
Some one is placing himself in very unenvia-
BILE position by poisoning some four or five dogs

A Bleach Works Observation-Disclosures
Bleach Works, one of the oldest establishments
of the kind in the country, located on the Falls
road about one mile south of Brooklandville, were

dyeing and finishing cotton goods and yarns, and
a large amount of new and valuable machinery
had lately been put in. The loss on building,

companies aggregating about $4,000. The mill
