Chat continually that in It there is not,

evening, and Mcs Allen, a small gin,

persons in the house at the time. a
young colored man named Trusty, in

They then went to the girls room, and
found the bed on fire, which was soon
e~xtinguished. 1t was a most horrible
sight, the unfortunate girl being burn
ed nearly to a crisp. Coroner Carney
of Salem was sent for, who arrived IL
bout midnight, and as he did not deem
an inquest necessary, turned the body
Y Q to the undertaken for burial. The
deceased had a habit of sleeping with
a coal-oil lamp placed on the bed. In

members of the family detected her
sitting upright on the side of the bed
fast asleep, with a lighted limp stand
ing on the bed beside her. 1t is pre-
sulned that the lamp overturned and
set FIRE to her clothing, and upon awak
enine, she rushed to Mrs. Aliens room

she ran down stairs to the yard, setting

Annapolis Cornet Band

Now that the weather is getting to
be pleasant we would suggest to the
members of the Cornet Band of this
city the propriety of utilizing some
suitable spot on the State House Hill
during some specified evenings in
each week in exercising their musical
talent. We feel confident it would
meet with the endorsement and kind
appreciation of Annapolitans general
ly and especially the ladies. Such a
movement would be something new
and attractive. Now gentlemen we
have given you the suggestion, will
you heed it? We hope so.

Annapolis HarbOr.

Who are interested in the material
Improvement of our harborY This
question has been frequently pro-
pounded, but we think one need not
go around Robin Hoods Barn to
find N explicit answer. Every one,
both in this city and county, has an
interest in this matter, and especially
our City Council, who have the "gen-
eral welfare clause in their keeping.
Some $1,000 has already been APP
propriated by Congress TO remove
the Greenbury and Horn Point bars,
and as the annual river and harbor
bill is yet to be reported, would it not
be good move on the part of our
City Fathers to pass a resolution
asking Congress to appropriate the
necessary amount, as recommended
by Engineer Craighill, in his last
report, to deepen and otherwise i'm.
prove our harbor?

Anne Arundel Truck.

Long Dock, Baltimore, presented a
scene of business activity, by the first
large arrival of boats from the truck
farms of this county. They were
freighted with large quantities of lus-
cious strawberries, which were sold
at good prices. The Sun says a
feature of the truck feet was the
handsome appearance the boats made.
All have been recently painted in
bright colors. Many were decorated
in bunting in honor of their first trip
with the seasons products. On the
return tripsmost of the boats carried
down bands of pickers, consisting of
men, women and children, The ar
rangements of last year, by which
there were night and day boats, will
be carried out this year. This is done
to avoid the great Inconvenience that
would grow out of so many vessels
being in the dock at one time, as well
as afford better chance for shippers
to get off their truck for local points
by early trains, or have it in market
in the morning.
