The parties who deliver the New
Orleans mail to the postmaster iu
'Thibodaux deserve leather medal.
When the Republican National
convention was in session, the very
day that every one was anxious to
learn the news, the mail for this
place was sent off somewhere else.
The very same thing happened
last Saturday night when We all
were DESTROYS of reading the proceed
ings of the Democratic Conven
ton at Chicago.
There is gross carelessness some
where. A few days ago, the post
master sent the mail bags to the
depot with the western mail,
which he put on the cars. The
'"smart aleck" on board the Cars
threw offihe bags before leaving.

ANUIsANCE.-Un last Sunday
just as the people of Thibodaux
were attending to their Church
worship, a company of about Is
persons, said to hail from Donald
sonville, and claiming to be colored
knights of Pythias, paraded the
streets, blowing horns and beating
drums, making it a point to pass
IN front OF all the church doors,
both OF white and colored people.
vi course, such an unmitigated nui
saDce was an annoyance to
ministers and hearers, rs services
had to be suspended till this parade
had passed by.
Eleven o'clock in the day, in
July. with thermometer at 81 seems
to be a poor time for q public pa
rade. 500
What this squad of visitors were
DESTROYS of effecting, is not known.
They were followed by about IA
men and % boys, aud disguised
everybody. People, who do not
feel like going to church, only rem
der themselves contemplate when
shey attempt to annoy those who
|teel it . duty to do 90.

The Geiser Co., have recently purchased
a new locomotive from the Baldwin works,
Philadelphia, for the purpose Of hauling ma
chinery from the works to the main road.
Mr.. Daniel Geiser built the road some years
ago, and after his death it was bought by the
company 1t is about half a mile long and is
of great convenience to the company, as they
can now run the machinery from the shop on
to the ears, when before the road was laid it
had to be hauled to the B. Il c. V. r. h.
depot, distance of more than half a mile.
There is being quite an improvement made
in this place. At the last meeting of the
council it was agreed upon to grade Main
street from east end to the west. The work
has been commenced and is being pushed
along as fast as possible. When it is finished
it will make great improvement in the ap-
pearance of the town. 1t is something that
has long been needed.
A great many people from this place went
to Gettysburg on Monday last to witness the
encampment of the National Guards, and re-
turned tired and sleepy, although well pleased

joyous trip. Mr.. Harry Stull, one of the
youngest of the wheelmen, made trip to
Greencastle on Thursday last, distance OF
nine miles in so minutes.
The Lutheran congregation of this place
will hold services in Trinity Reformed church

Walter & Bonebrake have torn out the par
tition in the rear of their store, and have made
a continuous room of over 60 feet. This i'm
provement became necessary on account OF
their constantly growing trade.
There were seventy-fve houses built in this

The Battle Array.

There are six Presidential tickets in the
field: The Republican, the Democratic, the
two Temperance, the Greenback and the But
Ter Convention. Gen. B. +. Butler is the
standard bearer of his Convention and the
Greenbackers; Messrs. Pomeroy and ST. John.
both of Kansas, represent the temperance
people, while Messrs. Blaine and Cleveland
are respectively the champions of the Repub.
lican ard Democratic causes. As matter of
course, the fight narrows down to Cleveland
and Blaine. The temperance party is divided,
and the good book tells us a house divided
against itself must fall. These two nomina-
tions will have the effect to weaken Blaine,
while Buffers candidacy is presumably in con
flict with Cleveland. We believe that for
every Democratic vote, outside of New York,
that Butler gets, that Cleveland will get two
Republican votes; and further, that Butler
will get larger number of votes, that would
go to Blaine were he not in the field than he
will draw from the Democratic party.

In pursuance ofa decree ofthe Circuit Court
for Carroll county sitting in equity, and of an
order of resale, will sell at Finksburg, at 3
O'Clock, P. NJ, on
Saturday, the Esd day Of August, 1881,
a tract or parcel of land, containing
1lO ACRES, MORE OR LESS,
which is part of the Clover Hill estate, and is
now in possession of Daniel Frazier, and lies
within about one mile from Finksburg, with a
turnpike road leading to it, and within short
distance of the Finksburg Station of the
Western Maryland Railroad. This is a really
valuable piece of property and would make a
very nice small farm. 1t will probably sell
for less than its actual value, and is well
worthy the attention of those desiring to have
a moderate sized farm. 1t will positively be
sold to the highest bidder.
The terms of sale are, that one half of the
purchase money shall be paid in cash on the
day of sale, or on ratification by the Court,
and the balance in twelve months, to be
secured by the note of the purchaser, with
approved security, with interest If the pur
chaser prefers, the entire purchase money
can be paid in cash.
