1t is curious fact that old wasp nests
sometimes take fire, as is supposed, by the chem
ical action of the wax upon the material of which
the nest is composed. Many of the fires of un-
known origin in haystacks and farm buildings
may thus be accounted for. Old lumber piles
have been known to take fire unaccountably pos
sibly from similar cause.
We lately saw a letter from New York. ad-
dressed to Col. S. N. Hyde, of Long Green Valley,
inclosing a check for $40 for ten cases of canned
goods-$4 per case. This is so fare above the
ordinary market price that it is worthy of men,
tiOn, and it indicates the popularity of the Coils
goods. He informs us that his entire pack for
next season has already been disposed Of

overlook him.
One of the prominent Baltimore boat clubs
is talking seriously of leasing grounds at Loch
Raven for their club house, &c. No more beauti-
full site in the State could be selected and feel
sure the Maryland Central road would offer every
inducement to the club. This matter was dis
cussed once before, but it was allowed to fall
through. Let us hope that some attention may
be paid to it this time.
Up in Delta they have gone to preaching
sermons against the running of Sunday trains on
the Maryland Central road. We suppose if
man went to one of those churches on Sunday
train they'd put him out and exclude him from
"the drippings of the sanctuary" Verify, some
people just the least bit too good for any ythng
Towsontown can't establish friendly relations
with a village like that.
In the case of Virginia Garrigan, who sued |
the County Commissioners for $4,000 damages |

Court of Common Pleas, to which tribunal it was
removed from Baltimore county.
"A genuine snow storm on Saturday night |
last and another on Monday morning, followed
by intensely cold weather, was right good be-
ginning for March. This was certainly looming |
in like lion" and therefore but hope that the
month may ego out like lamb" But the storm
Of Wednesday beat them all. Snow fell to the
depth of about four inches, but the warm sun of
Thursday caused it to disappear rapidly.
People on the Baltimore county side of
Ellicott City are not pleased because the liquor
dealers, shut out from Howard county, have
moved to their side of the Patapsco and are pro-
vding for their customers usual All bibu-
ously inclined citizen of the other side has to do
is to cross the bridge and get his wants supplied
on our side of the river. But the present Legisla-
ture don't seem disposed to afford people any
relief
The case of Ernaut Williams against his
father, Hon. George Hawkins Williams, of this
county, to set aside deed of trust made by the
former to the latter, is still on trial in of the
young Williams is worth about 1925, 900, most of

own property.
If Col. Geo. p. Frick, president of the horse
ailway commonly called "the Frick line," would

When the early morning train on the Maryland
CENTRAL road reaches that point, he would make
many nickles for his company which now go to
ther lines. There is scarcely morning in any
week but what we see many people 60 off to
ther lines because no car, bound down town, is
q sight. And the cars of this line run uncon-
conably slow as to call forth many complaints
nd consequent loss of business. Last summer
he accommodations were better, but now they
ppear to be going from bad to worse.
