thing.
Master Frank Freeman, after hugely enjoying
the summer vacation, returns to his books in New

catch than crabs and the flights of geometry
stronger and longer than those Of "rail." But
one doubts he'll pass with safety the pons
asinoruna. n

Be Careful Now this head an ex-
change says: eve have now got into the
season of hot and moist days, which causes that
sultry weather which is so enfeeblng, and gives
rise to fevers, generally of the intermittent type.
This weather is usually accompanied by cool
nights which tempt people into imprudences. It
is season when the caution, "be careful" is es-
sentially necessary-caro to the avoidance of
the practice of sitting about at nights in cool
draughts of air in the clothing saturated with per-
spiration during the day. Care as to the clothing
for that which is ample under sultry heat at
MONDAY is totally insufficient when the air has
become chilly ut night"

A Medicine Troupe that Needs Reform


ing.-The Wizard Oil people who have been Wis.
iting many of the smaller towns in Western Mary
land, selling their remedies and winning many
hearts among the fair sex, have at last arrived at
little York. This is what the Pennsyivanian of
that ancient village has to say of them "The
Wizard Oil people arrived in York this week.
There are fine musicians in the company, and
their performances enable them to make fine
impression. They paralyzed Hanoverto such an
extent that one leading citizen had to lock his
daughter up in the garret. A leading belle, one
who never before lost her head, was mastered to
such an extent that she allowed the combination
to entertain her at private supper. By invita-
ton the oily musicians occupied the choir gallery
of the old Lutheran church on Sunday morning.
The gallery is in the of the minister, and
consequently faces the audience. The minister
had noted the damaging effect that the strangers
had on the female part of the town, and in The
strong language he is noted for he inveighed
against the nomads who travel from place to
place, seeking their female prey. The effect can
be imagined but the giddy girls of the choir who
prefer the ways of death to life, went out riding
that evening with the fascinating and devious
strangers

Diversions at the Fair.-We understand
that it is likely an attractive feature of the fair
will be parade and probably several races of
bicyclists. Such great advances have been made
in the machines themselves and in the skill of the
riders that we look for a much more animated
and taking contest than was seen in the Timonium
track some years ago, when only two contestants
entered for the handsome trophies set up by the
society. Some of the uniformed baseball clubs
throughout the county are contemplating matches
on the grounds. All the better, gentlemen; somo-
thing for every taste, say we; and let have the
fair week packed down full and running over with
week.

"Dogged" Case.-The BeIair Democrat
says: An illustration of the old adage, the less
the value of the article in dispute the morethe
litigation, was forcby illustrated in the trial of
dog case before Hartford county justice of the
peace, recently.
A fox hound was replevied by gentleman
from Baltimore county from a resident of Har-
ford. The dog in dispute, or one very much like
it, was lost two and half years ago. The plain
tiff identified the dog as the long lost one, and
was supported by another witness from Balt.
more county and by Mr.. Lamb, of Hartford, who
gave the dog to the plaintiff. The particular
mark by which the dogs identity was established
was hole burnt in its ear, the burning of which
was also proven by Mr.. Sherman, disinterested
witness,
The defendant swore that the dog was given to
him by colored man named Geo. Richardson
three years ago. David Norton and Thomas
Sullivan testified that they had seen the dog in
the possession of defendant for the past three
years, and three witnesses testified that the hole
in the dogs ear was made by q raccoon.
The evidence seems to have been little con-
ficting, but Justice Lyle, after carefully weigh
ing the evidence, decided that the balance was in
favor of the plaintiff, and awarded him the pos
session of the dog.

A Grand Bee and Honey Display at IT.
monium.-Mr. Chas. ii. Lake, who formerly

for his skill and in bee raising and honey
making, is preparing an unique display in this
line for the Worlds Fair at New Orleans and the
managers of the county fair indeavoring to
prevail upon him to first show it here. We hope
they will be successful, as the collection is not
only the largest but the arrangements are novel,
and such an exhibition will be source of extreme
interest apd qualification not only to bee-keepers
but to visitors generally at the fair.

From the llth District.-The most notable
event for US Of the llth district just now is the
change in our voting precincts, and ofcourse con-
siderable grumbling caused thereby. We know
there was no crowding at the second, and do not
think third one at all necessary, but the powers
that be can, no doubt, give a sufficient reason
therefor.
/ regret to inform you of the serious illness of
Dr. Walter T. Allender, but hope it may be less
serious shan have understood it to be.
The new Railroad through here seems to drag
along. and observers would not predict any run
ming Of trains for at least twelve month. The
hitch appears to be in the stone work.
There has been much comment on the course of
the School Board in contracting for acostly house
for a high school in the belt, when the residents
about Stemmer's Run have for years been trying
to get house of proper size, and which need not
cost over $1,000, in the place of the little log
house on the pike, at Rechabite Hall, which is a
disgrace to the rich county of Baltimore.
This high school business certainly does not
properly belong to free school system, and
should be abolished.
Crops and prospects good and we are blessed
with exceptionally good health. WHITEMARsH.

Who Found the Money PIT has been pub
lished in several papers that Mr.. Donnelly, re-
siding near Butler postoffice, had lost a pocket
book containing $24O in cash and $4,000 in Balti-
more city stocks, and that Mr.. B. Howard Cor
such, one of the Judges of the Orphans Court of
this county, had found the package and restored
it to the owner. A portion of this statement is
incorrect Mr.. Gorsnch was driving to Towson-
town in his buggy, and Donnelly accompanied
him a portion of the distance. Whilst riding
along the pocket-book worked out of DonneIly's
pocket and falling on the bottom of the buggy,
was left there, and the loss was not discovered
until Mr.. Gorsuch had driven to Mr.. Shelton
Prices Smile House, York turnpike, and had
ordered his team fed, and then it was that the
lost book was discovered by George Brown,
colored, hostler at the hotel. We merely publish
this to give credit to worthy colored man. We
understand that when Donnely got to the hotel
and found his money in tact, he was so elated
and felt so liberal (?) that he gave Mr.. Gorsuch
$3.50 for rendering him service, and $1.5O to
the colored man for the honorable part he acted
in the matter.
