The White Butterhy.-It is said to be a
noticeable fact that the common white butterfly,
which deposits the larvae which generates the
worm, which is so destructive to the cabbage
plants, is scarcely visible this season. This is
certainly very gratifying to the growers of this
useful vegetable, and it is stated as fact that
y the S
have gone to work in earnest to relieve us of this
intolerable nuisance.

Gathering Sumac.-The owners of sum

Gathering Sumac.-The owners of sumac
mills urge upon persons gathering sumac leaves
to closely observe the following: "The leaf should
be taken when full of sap, before it has turned
frost either the leaf bearing stems may be strip
ped off, or the entire stalk cut away, and the
leaves allowed to wither before carrying to the
drying shed, but they must be neither scorched
nor bleached by the sun. The proper time to
gather it is between the first of July and the
s-.i;--' s-nst Great quantities OF it is grown in
this county and the wonder is that more OF II 10
not gathered and prepared for market"

The Color of Your Fence.-An exchange
asks the question, why do people paint an iron
fence black? We have been asked this question
but could not answer it. We looked around town
and found that most of the iron fences around
yards and gardens painted black. At last we
ran cross painter, and we questioned him, say
ing that black fence is in bad taste, the color
does not harmonize with the color of the grass or
the color of any house and it is simply outrage
on good taste to paint an iron fence black. "Why,"
said the painter, "at first iron fences used
in cemeteries, and black is an appropriate color
for them there, so people who build them about
their houses paint them black; it's custom, that's
ALL" Paint fence the color of the grass and
leaves on the trees, that's good taste.

Film on the Eye.-A correspondent writing
to the New Jersey Mirror, says: "The whitish
the horses eye is caused by deposit of purulent
matter resulting from Inflammation. 1t moy be
accidental constitutional; in the first state it
may be removed by applying burned alum, in
fine, white powder, to the eye by blowing it
through quill. Put piece of alum on hot
stove and it will boil up for short time, finally
falling to fine powder. This is to be used once
a day and the horso in tho meantime protected
from the light and from cold. In the second
state the disease is incurabe; it will come and 60
at intervals of about mouth, being called, from
this, moon blindness or periodic ophthamia, and
at each recurrence the trouble will get worse I'M
til the sight is lost, and when eye has thus
gone the other follows it in course of time"

An Annoying Habit.-Many horses have
an unpleasant habit of striking the toes of the
hind shoes against the fore shoes. 1t is fault
belonging to some of the best horses we'll as
the worst, and most frequently occurs with young
horses; they often clicking on the turf or soft
ground, and not on the road. 1t arises from the
too great length of stride by the hind leg, the
fore foot being unable to get out Of the way in
time therefore, anything which detains them,
such as soft or heavy soil, aggravates the fault.
An experienced horseman says to prevent this,
make the hind shoes square at the toe, leaving
the toe of the crust somewhat projecting to re-
ceive the blow instead of the shoe. 1t sometimes
happens that, from the repetition of these blows,
the crust is worn thin at the toe as to produce
or threaten lameness, in which case this plan of
shoeing is to be abandoned, and we must put up
with the noise to avoid the greater evil. Some
times when square-toed shoe fails to prevent
clicking, one pointed at the toe will succeed
probably because there is so small point of
contact, and going within or by the side of the
fore shoe.

The Clandestine Marriage of Mr.. Archi
bald Stirling and Miss Mathiot.-The Bal
timore Herald of Friday says: "Among Others
who came to the city on the Western Maryland
train last Tuesday morning were Mr.. 0. l.. Mathiot
well-known North Gay street furniture dealer
who resides at Reisterstown, and his pretty
daughter, Miss Estele G.. Mathiot. On the same
train, but in another car, was young Archibald
Stirling, son of District-Attorney Stirling, and
who has been living this summer at Montrose
Farm, near Woodensburg. Mr.. Mathiot did not
know that Stirling tho train, but Miss
Estelle did. The father and daughter got out of
the train at Pennsylvania avenue Station.
"'We'll take the Pennsylvania avenue car tho
former remarked, 'and ride down town..
"The street car was just about to start when the
young lady said:
"I don't think I'll ride down with you, pa.
I'll walk and take the Madison avenue line'
"Mr. Mathiot, unsuspecting of any deceptionl
in his daughters remark, consented to the arrange
ment. Miss Estelle hesitated while. Then she
seemed to have dropped something while alght
ing from the train. She thought she would G.
back to the station and look for it. She did s.
as soon as the street car that bore her father OF
was block or two away. When she entered sfp
found just exactly what she wanted-Mr. Arch
bald Stirling, who had quietly slipped off The
train simultaneously with Miss Estelle and hr
papa. The two were not at all surprised to see
each other. They had fixed the whole thing up
They sat down accordingly, and when the Wash
ington train came along boarded it, When they
reached Washington they got n marriage license,
hunted up a minister and were made man and
wife.
"In the afternoon they returned to Baltimore,
and the bride and groom parted. Mr.. Stirling
went out to his uncle, Mr.. Lloyd's place, at Glenn
Falls. Miss Mathiot, or rather Mrs. Stirling,
missed her train and had to stay all night in
with her grandmother. She went home
to her fathers on Wednesday afternoon. Then
all the story leaked out and her family appeared
very much distressed, but had to accept the mar
riage as a fact
"The young couple have been very fond of each
other for some time past. A few days ago it was
that they were engaged. The wedding
was to have taken place next October. 1t is said,
however, that both families opposed to the
match, and young Stirling and Miss Estee, fear
ing something might intervene in the meantime
md prevent their union, made up their mindseto
effect il at the earliest opportunity"

Grace Republican, which pays considerable atten-
ton to the canned goods trade, says: "The canned
goods market has been so long depressed, and its
future apparently so unpromising that the pack
ers and growers of Hartford have become greatly
discouraged, and many have concluded to quit
the business outright, while nearly all remaining
in the business will greatly curtail their pack.
We do not know of a single Gamer who proposes
to increase his pack for the coming season.
While the depressed condition of the market has
extended over such a long period of time as to
seem likely to remain perpetual, the tendency is
now evidently slightly upward, and glimmer of
hope arises that the worst is past, and at least
slight advance and above the cost of pack
ing tomatoes may be realized by those who pack.
We do not wish to encourage any hopes that may
provo delusive, and would not advise anyone to
pack this season unless they have all expenses
appertaining to the business down to the lowest
possible notch.
"The acreage Of tomatoes in Hartford will fall
short of last year by fully one-half. The plants
have all been set out and their condition is only
middling. The cut worms, drought and other
causes have destroyed many of those set out,
which in very many instances have not been
replaced. The yield of tomatoes in Hartford will
certainly not cause an "over-production" in the
canned goods market this year.
"Corn looks fair, and the acreage should
think will slightly exceed that of last year.
"The acreage of peas planted is larger than last
year, but the yield per acre is much lighter, and
much better--in fact, the peas canned are the
finest we have ever seen, and buyers wanting a
nice article of canned peas, will make no mistake
in buying Hartford county peas of 1884 pack.
"Gooseberries, of which there generally
about 1000 cases packed in Hartford, are almost
an entire failure-30O cases will cover all that
will be packed in the county this season. As an
instance of the failure of this crop, we would
illustrate by saying that one grower, who gen.
orally raises 200 bushels of gooseberries, this
year had only 81.
"On the whole we believe the outlook for the
canned goods to be fair and the prospects of this
industry being placed on sound, safe and legiti-
mate footing-where irresponsible or "trash"
packers, who have nothing to lose, cannot effect
tito any serious extent-good.'

this vicinity startled about noon on the 4th
by the alarm Of fire proceeding from "Mayfeld'
the residence of Mr.. l.. P. d. Newman. The
house was soon enveloped in flames and burned
to the ground. The county fire department
rived upon the scene too late to save the house,
but were successful in saving other buildings on

Bicycle Club were playing ball in an adjacent
field at the time the fire occurred. These gentle.
men started for the scene and assisted in saving a
part of the furniture. The loss on the house and
furniture is reported to amount to several thous-

A Fight and Cut Head.-0n Friday Of
last week several horses, owned by ]. j. Mccain,
living on Mount Royal Hill, 9th district, got
into field of James Atkinson, who operates some
of the quarries on the Falls road. A man named
Justice employed by Atkinson, was sent to take
the horses up. Mccain saw Justice after the
horses from his house, and went over to the field
to get them out. An alteration ensued, in which
Justice knocked Mccain down, using portion
of fence rail as weapon of defence. Mccain
then swore out warrant for the arrest of Justice,
and he gave bail in the sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance at court. This is the only battle that
we have had to report as occurring in our county
on the glorious Fourth. Mccain had his head quite
badly cut but no doubt the wound will be nicely
healed over before the September term of Court.
