A Wonderful Cure-Chestnut Leaves
in Dropsy.-A very important cure, through
the use of tea made from dry chestnut leaves, has
been brought to our attention, and as it is well
authenticated publish it in the hope that
others may be benefited thereby. Mrs. Sheridan,
wife of Mr.. John Sheridan, of the lth district,
and mother of Mr.. Columbus Sheridan, of this
place, was afflicted with dropsy, and, notwith-
standing the careful attention of an experienced
physician, she grew steadily worse and had given
up all hope of ever getting well. Finally her son,
Rev. j. NJ. Sheridan, minister of the Metho-
dist Protestant Church, who was then stationed
in one of the lower counties of Maryland, heard
of case where dropsy had been cured by the use
of tea made from dry chestnut leaves. He in
formed his mother and she at once commenced to
use the tea, disseminating all other remedies. In
very short time she experienced an improve
ment and in about four months she was entirely
cured. Mrs. Sheridan is about seventy years of
age and now considers herself healthy woman,
although she still uses little of the tea OCCASION
ally. Her address is Gunpowder, Baltimore
county, Nd.

A Family Whose Ages Aggregate AT
Years.-The family of Mr.. Johnzey Burnham,
living at the old 14Mile House, Reisterstown
road, consisting of six persons, is certainly one of
the most remarkable in point of longevity of any
in the county. Their combined ages aggregate
All years-the Oldest is rs, the next "a, Y, TO- 63

is tolerably good, considering their ages. Mr..

A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS EYTERPRlsE.-Mr
Joseph Wardn who short time ago established
a stationery and newspaper store in the thriving
town of Waverly, is succeeding far beyond his
most sanguine expectations, and the store is filling
a want long felt in that place. The young lady
who has charge of the store is most polite and
accommodating, serving her numerous customers
with promptness and satisfaction and she deserves
the liberal patronage she is receiving. In con-
nection with his other business Mr.. Wardin is the
agent for the sale of tickets for the Oriole Base
Ball grounds, and when the season opens the
lovers of this sport be supplied with admission
tickets at his store. The people of Waverly should

Fullerton 18th, District.-It has been said
by some that your correspondent at this place had
dried up and blown away, but such is not the case.
1 have been sitting on the fence, with pen behind
my ear, but the late rains drove me in, and
havn't been able to pick up much.
The prospect for splendid grain crop was
never better. 1t is heading out well and the rain
will make it fill. Corn is coming up very well,
and there has been a larger acreage planted than
usual.
The literary society at this place will close for
the summer June 18th, when the society will make
an excursion to Cape May. 1t is expected that
fully fifty families will be represented. 1t is
expected that steps will be taken in the fall towards
building hall for the use of the society.
Tomato plants being set out, but all
appear to be of one mind viz, that it is not worth
while to plant many. There will be little or no
canning done with us, and the crop will have to
be taken to the city markets
There are many complaints ON the part of those
through whose lands the oil-pipe line runs, on
account of the line man pipe-walker travelling
over the line every few days, which is very an
noying, to say nothing of the demage which is
constantly being done to crops. Land owners
were not aware, when they granted rights Of way
that they were to be subjected to this nuisance,
and some Of them threaten dire vengeance ON the
line man. So I may have something real excit-
in to report very shortly. Don't think have been
asleep, friends. juno.

THE END.

The dispatch of Mr.. Elkins, the
chief director of the Blaine cam
paign, admitting the election of
Cleveland by plurality of twelve
hundred in the State Of New York,
says the Macon Telegraph, ends
all doubt. There was feeling of
anxiety and uneasiness through
out the country while the count
ing of votes was being held, that
unsettled business and untitled
men for their ordinary pursuits.
Everybody will acquiesce in this
peaceful solution of an exciting
question, and the Democratic par
ty will have the government turn
ed over to them on the fourth day
of March next. Upon its wisdom
and moderation for the succeeding
four years must depend, not only
the prosperity and happiness of
the people, but the question as to
whether it shall be granted a
further lease of power.
The Republican party is defeat
ed, but not annihilated. 1t is yet
powerful in numbers, discipline
and desire to regain its lost pow
er, and will stand as sleepless
sentinel at the door of its victori-
Gus opponent.

No Negroes at Her Table.

The Warrenton Clipper says
that few days since a theatrical
troupe en- route to Macon stopped
over at Camak for dinner. As
they were taking their seats
around the table at Mrs. Wright's s
hotel, a black, robust negro woman,
who was with the party, marched
up to the table and attempted to
take a seat also. Mrs. Wright
anticipated the design and order
ed her to the kitchen, where it
was alone customary to serve
guests of her color. The members
OF the troupe were very vehement
in their opposition to what they
termed such an indignity to a
guest, and by threats of the law
insisted that the negro should
occupy seat at the table. Ii
