We are still having dry weather. Some OF
our farmers have stopped seeding. Dust
dust! You can scarcely see fifty yards away
when high wind prevails.
Mr.. Henry Harnish has purchased the stock
of dry goods, groceries, &c, at Piney Creek
lately owned by Conrad Schue. Mr.. Harnish
intends to increase the stock and continue
the business there.
Some unknown person or persons broke
into railroad car at the depot last week and
took sack full of sugar cured hams, con-
signed to Mr.. John Davidson, and case OF
small shoes, consigned to Mr.. Solomon Shoe
maker, of Harvey. Persons should watch
their premises, as there is. a great deal OF
tbieving being done lately in this locality.
Rev. Samuel Finkle, formerly pastor of the
Lutheran congregation of this place, is here
on visit.
Mr.. Milton Reindollar and bride returned
home last week from their wedding tour, hav-
ing been north. In the evening the boys
called on Milton with horns, bells, &C., but
Milton did not respond, and about II: 30 p;
IN. all became silent as the tomb, when 10 and
behold in the morning it looked as If there
had been a cyclone OF store boxes, signs, ag-
ricultural implements, gates, &c.
Quite a number of persons are dispoSing OF
their porkers, for fear of them catching dis
ease which has attacked the larger portion OF
the hogs in this place. Some six or seven
have died since last writing. Apost mortem
of several showed the lungs decayed entirely.
The remains of Mrs. James Burk were in
tered at the Lutheran cemetery on the 18th
instant.
The Maryland Synod of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church will meet here on October
End, 1884.

wagon horses and servant man named Wal
lace, the property of Leigh Master, Esq, oil
Pine Greek. AS five of the horses were seen
this day 1.-TWO or three with collars ON not far
from town, It's very likely the said servant
has rode off the other one. The said servant
appears to be upward of 40 years OF age, about
feet 8 or inches high and tolerably stout.

full of enterprise and public spirit Mr.. B..
F. Grouse, as umpire, is fair, honest, quick
and correct in his decisions, and, although
having no professional training, yet few who
haze excel him. Most of the fielding errors
are made by the scorer, who ought to consult
the player on each tumble. Mr.. l.. l.. Bill
lingslea may well feel proud Of his club, and
deserves thanks from our citizens who love
the national sport for the successful manner
in which they have been entertained.
To-day, Saturday, the Westminsters will
play the Maryland club here. The Maryland
club is composed of playerI of the North
Western League, recently disbanded, ana no
doubt is a very strong club.
Monday and Tuesday, September 10Th and

This is finely organized professional club,
and defeated the aTrentonsH recently in the

The new Baltimore and Ohio depot at this
place, just finished and occupied, is the finest
structure of its kind on the line of the road
outside of Baltimore city. 1t is ninety feet
long and twenty EIGHT feet wide. Twenty six
feet in the centre is two stories high. 1t is
built of Baltimore pressed brick and red NOR
tar, with sandstone stills and lintels and slate
roof. The ticket and telegraph office 40 by
1871 is between the waiting rooms, and is ell
egantly furnished. The waiting rooms are "a
by "a, ceiling IA feet high, and each have
comfortable retiring rooms, with water and
all modern appliances. The freight room is
in the west end, and has double doors on
three sides. A portico extends around the
east side to the vestibule in the rear. 1t is
protected by a railing of unique design. A
wide platform runs from this around the re-
mainder ofthe building The roof projects6
feet, supported by ornamental brackets.
There are FIVE small rooms in the upper story.
The whole building is well Lighted by lofty
windows, the upper flight Of which are Dor
dered with small panes of cathedral stained
glass. The painting is in red and chocolate,
with sage green trimmings. The style is
modern. The best of material was used in the
construction, and it is the only depot on the
line of the road that has vestibnle in the
rear. Mr. Z. I. Baldwin was the architect.
c. McLane, Superintendent of Buildings of
the B. & o., had charge of the work, but it
was under the immediate supervision of Mr..
A. j. Leakin, foreman, and much credit is
due him and those under him in the different
branches of trade, as no part of the work was
sighted. The grading, when completed,
will give an avenue 100 feet wide leading
from the public road Immediately opposite
the rear entrance. Everyone, except few
Howard county grumblers, are delighted with
the change. This change, as we have pre-
dicted, marks the new era in the business of
Sykesville. The stores are increasing their
stocks; more people come to Sykesville than
ever before, Notwithstanding the departure of
a swarm of summer boarders; we don't miss
them-new faces appear to have filed up the
space.
Messrs. Zimmerman & Schultz, since they
have given up the railroad business, will turn
their attention to the trade, and promise
more extensive and varied line of goods than
ever.
Wright & Grimes, from Ohio, have opened
a new coach shop in this place. The whistle
of Browns traction engine can be heard
nearly every day passing through the village,
hauling fertilizer from the station to the farm.
Mr.. Phillinger, although not an engineer,
handles it dexterously. The village black
smith took hold of the machine the other day
to show his SKILL and succeeded in making
the gutter deeper.
The great red lights seen of nights lately in
the sky are caused by apple butter boilings
around Sykesville.

News is scarce. As we write, however,
clouds syershadoy the sky here, and no doubt
everybody Is looking for rain. The protraot-
ed drought has greatly interfered with farmers
in preparing the land intended for fall seeding
Vegetation has rapidly given way during the
past ten days under the influence ofthe scorch-
ing rays Of the sun and the want of moisture
in the ground. Leaves Of grape vines, fruit
and lawn trees have fallen prematureIy, and
apples lying on the ground in orchards were
partially roasted where exposed to the rays
of the sun. Corn, which is now nearly all in
shock here, is found to fall short of q full
crop.
The boys who continue to indulge in detac-
ing and destroying advertisements posEed at
public points, had better look out for squalls.

opponents, who failed to get single base hit
after the first inning. Clabaugh put out 10 at
first and Bankert 3 at third and made three
assists; Miller played an excellent game at
short. Westminster made eight good hits
and eight good runs, against three hits and
one run for the visitors. Nicholas allows no
balls to pass him; therefore, batter, you must
hit the ball if you anticipate first. The
features of the game were probably the fly
catches of Miller, Long and o. Brian.

The Trenton and Westminster clubs met
upon the diamond for the second time on
Tuesday last at 3. 10 p. IN. Fox and Know
dell formed the battery for the visitors, Long
and Greer for the home club. Fox is an old
pitcher, having successfully filled the box for
number of years on various clubs, and is
regarded as an effective pitcher and reliable
player. The first part of the game our boys
went timidly to the bat, as if fearing their
man, and succeeded only in getting two hits
and scored no runs prior to the sixth inning,
the score standing 0 to 0. In the sixth two
runs were scored on errors; on the seventh
inning Houseman made good phase hit,
and was brought in by Greer on safe three
base hit, probably the best hit made here this
season; on the eighth inning two more runs
were made on an error and two hits by Cla-
baugh and Bankert; Driscoll started the ninth
inning by hit, Greer brought him home on
a two Dagger, which was followed by hits by
Clabaugh and Anders, the latter making a
home run, bringing in two men; five runs
were scored, three of which were earned.
The outfeld was weakened somewhat by re-
moving Greer and Long, but they made an
effective battery. Greer seemed unable to
hold Long at first, but toward the last of the
game caught admirably. Miller and Bankert
played perfect game, and Nicholas captured
three hard hit balls to left field. The visitors
played perfect game in tie field up to the
sixth inning, and scored lime runs, making
only two more runs in the last four innings.
