Was st. Patrick a Catholic ?

The Rev. DIR. Campbill Fair, rector of Ascension
Protestant Episcopal church, Baltimore, deliver
his ninth annual lecture on Ireland's patron saint
on Tuesday evening last. He said he would en-
deavor to show for the writings st. Patrick him.
selfthat the apostle of Ireland did not belong to
the Romon Catholic faith. In the "Confession of
ST. Patrick" in his own original Latin, there was
no mention of the vocation of saints ofthe Blessed
Virgin Mary, of the Pope, of purgatory, or the
sacrifice of the mass. DR.. Fair next quoted from
the "Creed of St. Patrick" as translated by
Archdeacon Hamilton, of Dublin, and from "St.
Patrick's Hymn" Armour" translated by Sister
Mary Frances Cusack, the Nun of Kenmare."
St. Patrick, he said, was born A. D. 1877; went to
Ireland as missionary in 432, and died in
Armagh in 465, long before the principal doc
trines of the Roman Catholic church were intro
duced.

se,,,s cree< Carroll County

Sans Creek, Carroll County, cores
pendent writing from the above place, to the West
minister Advocate, says: "Having noticed an item
in the Advocate relating to the quantity of milk
and butter produced from COW owned by a Mr.;
Winters, and from another owned by a Mr.. Samuel
Shoemaker, We are compelled to state that the
farmers in this community call such COWS referred
to common or ordinary and by no means can be
termed extra, especially the latter's. Mr.. 2. j.
Bennett has COW which gave 81 pounds of milk
six gallons in one day, or 357 pounds in seven
days, on good pasture and without any grain
In regard to the amount of butter, Mr.. Bennett
feels satisfied that as much, if more, could have
been produced than from either of the cows of the
gentlemen named above, as there were 81 pounds
more milk than the former, and "a pounds more
than the latter. Mr.. Jos. Hooper has one COW,
and Mr. E. T. Snader has two, each one OF which
gave as much milk as Mr.. Benefits, and no doubt
in this viainity if we should make
inquiry. We do not give this without any racts,
as these gentlemen, whose integrity and honesty
cannot be impeached, are willing to vouch for the
same However Carroll county is still ahead as
these gentlemen are of this county"

What Will They do With It ?-The Annal

What Will They do With 1t ?-The Annap-
oils correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing
under date of March 18th says: "There is con-
siderable contention among the members of the
Baltimore county delegation as to the disposal OF
the money to be received from the city in case the
people in the "Belt" vote to become part of the
city. The Baltimore County Commissioners and
School Board want the money divided between
them, to be used for school purposes and for re-
pairing roads. Other persons prominent in the
county would like the money to go into the tax
fund. There are others who propose to pave
Towsontown with Belgian blocks, and city man
suggests building a publishing house for the
Maryland Journal, or charging the almshouse
for the county politicians The delegation has
not decided yet whether to introduce bill at this
session to provide for the disposition of the money
or to let the matter rest until the next session."

The Grand Jury and the Laws.

In his charge to the Grand Jury at Rockville,
Montgomery county, on Monday last, Chief Judge
Richie said:
"Inregard to the feeling which has attended the
local-option law, it may be well to remind you
that your private opinions as to the propriety of
this law, whether for against it, do not furnish
the standard of YOUR duty. Courts and juries are
not to determine the expediency of laws, but to
enforce them. The responsibility of acts of AS
sembly is with the Legislature, which is to be
affected by private opinions at the ballot-box,
not on the bench or in the jury room. Our prop
er function is to administer the laws as we find
them.

Good Advice.-Better put up with numerous
grievances and petty annoyances than to have a
law suit with any one. Better give your neigh
Dor little more than you think he is rightfully
entitled to, or to settle your accounts with him on
the basis of small sum due him, than let any
court settle the difference between you. There
are great many reasons why you should do this
Law suits are an expensive luxury, INDUCED in
only by the wealthy. But by no means are law
ycrs unnecessary. Consulting good lawyer has
been and is the means of keeping many man
out of trouble, and often saves him many dollars.
The drawing ofpapers, deeds, leases, agreements,
wills and the settlement of estates are among the
many things in which the lawyers aid is sought.
The rule is thus: Consult lawyer sufficiently to
keen out of law suits,

A Projected Railroad-The Belair Demo-
crat of 18th inst, says: "Another move is being
made in the direction of furnishing the good peo-
pie of Stewartstown, York county, with railroad
facilites-this time, however, not in the direction
of the Northern Central, but the Maryland Gen.
trail Railroad. Messrs. Rufus Lowe and John
McIlvain, near Fawn Grove, and James Fulton,
of Stewsrtstown, and other wealthy and enterpris-
ing citizens will start this week a preliminary
survey from Stewartstown to point on the Mary
land Central near Pylesvie. This proposed road
will probably near St. Mary's Church and
Five Forks, Fawn Grove, crossing the Maryland
line lear John L. Glenn's; thence about mile
north of Norrisvlle, near New Park and thence to
Stewartstown.
The road will be about fifteen miles long, and

side aid. The country traversed is fertile
agricultural section, without railroad facilities,
and it is believed the fertilizers used and grain
produced will furnish large amount of freight,
which, together with the passenger travel, will
pay a good interest on the outlay necessary to
build the road. The route selected it is believed
will not be an expensive one. With terminal
facilities already secured, there is fair prospect
for the success of the enterprise"

s,1nfiower Seed for Po,1ltr,

Sunf1ower Seed for Poultry.-There is q
popular belief in some parts of the country that
the sunfower is very useful in the ltry-yard
and this is not without foundation. The follow
ing remarks, supplied by correspondent, will
give some idea to the manner of it's cultivation
About one and quarter bushels of the white
streaky variety are required for sowing one acre.
The soil should be good-not too strong or too
cold-well worked, and we'll MANFRED. 1t will
grow very well in soil suitable for potatoes. The
crop will be greatly improved by the addition OF
some kind of potash, kainit, ect., at the rate of
about three hundred weight per acre, to be drilled
in at the time of sowing, about April or May
The seed is dribbled in, in thirty inches apart,
the holes being eighteen inches deep. Four seeds
are put in, and the superhuous plants are hoed
out as soon as possible to prevent their spelling
one another. The average yield is forty bushels
per acre. Sunfower seed is supposed to impart
a glossy plumage, and to increase their prolific
ness 1t is also an excellent food for cattle who
eat it, leaves stems and all. Sunfower seed, if
you can sell it, is much more profitable than buck
wheat.

longing to Mr.. Henry Reckord, and valued at S75,
died few nights ago of what was supposed to be

like those used in sewing bagging, measuring Al
inches in length, was found in the region OF the
heart, which, no doubt, caused her death.

by us, asking whether it is correct that some of
the old stones set up by the Mason Dixon sur

whether they bear the English coat-of arms
Many of the stones set up along the famous
MASON u DIxon's Line, which marks the bound
airy between Pennsylvania and Maryland are yet
standing. Every fifth stone is emblazoned with
the coat-of arms of the Penns, its northern
face, and the arms of Lord Baltimore the south

Accident on the Maryland Central

! Accident on the Maryland Central.-The
rear of the morning train from Delta to Balti-
more, on the Maryland Central Railroad, on Mon
| day last, jumped the track at a curve near the
overshot treste, south of Faston, and was dragged
for distance on the cross ties, and then up
setting broke from the train and rolled down an
embankment, landing on its side, with the wheels
upwards. There were about 80 passengers inside,
including five ladies. All the passengers were
severely jolted, and were tumbled together in a
mass when the turned over. The train was
stopped within a short distance and the rear door
of the wrecked car was broken open and the peo-
pie inside extricated. A physician, who was in
another car, promptly on hand to dress the
wounds of the injured. Thomas Brooks, of Con-
stitution, York county, had his head badly cut;
David Brebeg, of Hartford county, had his hip
hurt, and Wilson West, from near Belair, had his
nose broken. One of the ladies had bruised
arm, and the other passengers sustained slight
casualties. The car took fire from the upset
stove, but this was extinguished without trouble.
The ground where the jumped down the
bankment was wet and spongy and stopped it
from rolling over to the bottom. The glass in the
car windows was smashed, and the side of the
and one of the trucks were broken. The passen-
gers, who made such a narrow escape, were taken
on board the train, which started for Baltimore,
but was again stopped by the breaking of the
couplings of another passenger coach. Ropes
were utilized to repair the break. 1t is thought
the accident was caused by the spreading of the
tracks, which had become unsettled by the wet
weather. Col. L. H. Webster was one of the pas
sengers who was tumbled down the embankment.

Feeding Poultry.-The benefit which fowls
derive from eating charcoal is acknowledged by
all. The method of putting it before them is,
however, not well understood. Pounded charcoal
is not in the shape in which fowls usually find
their food, and consequently is not very enticing
to them. Corn burned on the cob, and the refuse
which consists almost entirely of the grains
reduced to charcoal and still retaining their per-
feet shape-placed before them, is greedily eaten
by them, with marked improvement in their
combs and their sooner producing greater aver
age of eggs to the flock than before.

From Powhatan, I'd District.-The literary
society is in a very fourishing condition. The
administration of Mr.. Lemuel Younger seems to
have given an esthetical tone to the literary
phases. Last Thursday night the hall was filled
and many could not get inside the door. The en-
tertainment gotten up by the ladies two weeks ago
was grand success and too much praise cannot
be accorded them. Another will be given the first
Thursday night in April, which promises to equal
if not surpass the last one. The Rev. D. Jamison,

no doubt, will be very interesting.
The dye works here have been doing very little
business for some time past. The cotton mill is
running but four days in a week. Mr.. ONeal,

time seems to be caused not so much by an Cover
stocked market" as to the result of free trade
Democratic Congress-" The mill operatives, es-
pecially the females, are rejoicing over the defeat
of McLanes eight-hour bill. They are of the
opinion that they have right to work as long as
they please. Well, no doubt they are right; at
least their husbands, who strut around doing
nothing think so. Whatever might have been
the design of McLane Matching up such q bill
whether for the good of the working class or
self-political boom-one thing is certain that the
peoples determined opposition proves it to be
very unpopular bill.
Last week local option petition, signed by
about one hundred and twenty five citizens of this
community was taken down to the Legislature by
Messrs. Williams and Hammond, to have bill
passed to prevent liquor being sold within one or
one and a-half miles of the village. Drunkenness
has become excessive in this community since the
corner opposite the depot changed hands, and tits
high time stop was put it. The mill proprietor,
Mr.. Balm, is very DESTROYS of the passage of bill
that will relieve this community of the hydra
headed monster that is destroying it. No doubt
the bill now pending in the House, if passed, will
break up the majority of these cesspoos of iniqui
ty and dens of vice all over the State.
