In the Circuit Court for Carroll county.
Annie McCann, plaintiff, VS.. Thomas f. Nc
Cam, defendant.
The object of this suit is to obtain decree
of divorce riRculO mdtrimOnii from the de-
iendant
The bill of complaint states that on or about
the year 1873 the plaintiff was married to de-
lendant in Carroll county, Maryland; that she
has always been true and faithful wife to
defendant, but that defendant, in the month
of September, A. ID. 1880, beat her with
stick and drove her from his home, and has
since refused to live with her or to support
her; that defendant has abandoned the plain
tiff, and that said abandonment has continued
mninterruptedly for at least three years, and
Us deliberate and final; and that the separa-
fiG0 is beyond any reasonable expectation of
reconciliation, and that said defendant is not
nOE a resident of the State of Maryland.
Ii is thereupon adjudged and ordered, this
Sth day Of May3 A. d. 1884, that the plaintiff,
by causing n copy of this order to be inserted
in some newspaper published in Carroll
county. Maryland, once in each of four sue
eessive weeks before the 18th day of June
next, give notice to Thomas F. McCann, the
said absent defendant, of the substance and
object of this bill, and warn him to appear in
this Court, in person or by solicitor, on or be-
fore the lst Monday of September next, to
answer the premises and show cause, if any
he has, why decree ought not to pass as
prayed.

Marrying a Deaf and Dumb Man.

A very singular marriage was one which
took place at Leicester, in the eighteenth
year of Queen Elizabeth's reign, between
Thomas Filsby, deaf and dumb man, and
Ursula Bridget, hearing and talkative
spinster. As the prayer book required that
the promises of marriage should be ex-
changed in spoken words, the clergy and
civil authorities of Leicester were unable
to say how this dumb man could be salts
factoriiy married. In their perplexity they
appealed to the Bishop of London, who,
with the help of another member Of the
clergy, devised marriage service by signs.
The bride made her promises in the usual
manner, and the groom did his part thus
Having first embraced Ursula with his
arms, he took her by the hand and put the
nuptial ring on her finger. He then laid
his right hand significantly upon his heart,
and afterward, putting their palms together,
extended both his hands to Heaven. Hav-
ing thus sued for the Divine blessing, he
declared his purpose to dwell with Ursula
till death should separate them, by closing
his eyelids with his fingers, digging the
earth with his feet, as though he wished
to make hole in the ground, and then
moving his arms and body as though he
were tolling funeral bell.

NIORTH READING & AGENTS
w WANTED.

One or two live men in each district in
Carroll county to sell the Unrivaled Washing
Machine. 1t has been the aim of the inventor
TO construct a washing machine which, unlike
its contemporaries, WOULD DO the WORK
AS WE'LL AS BY HAND, and in a much
shorter time, without destroying the clothes
or breaking the buttons. The Atkinson
is a machine which will stand the
most rigid examination, and do all
that is claimed for it. It is simple in
construction, thereby enabling the
manufacturer to sell at a price which
puts it within the reach of all. 1t IS
light and durable, not liable to get out OF
repair, and is easily operated. The principle
is unique and original, differing widely from
that Of any machine ever designed for sim
liar purpose The time worn system of beat
ing, rubbing and grinding the articles to be
washed is totally ignored, and a new one
founded on an established Law of hydraulics,
which treats of the suction and pressure OF
water and air) is substituted. RSS Every
good hOusekeeper should examine it. 1t is 70
valuable addition 10 articles of household
economy Wherever sold they have given
entire satisfaction We warrant them TO be
as represented. Any live man can make $la
a week profit. 1t has been done. Write me

Lead Pencils.

With the improved machinery now used
ten hands will make about four thousand
lead pencils of the cheaper grade day.
The cedar comes chiefly from Florida, and
it is received in slabs of pencil length, one
for the lead to 90 in and the other to
cover it, as may be seen by examining the
end of any lead pencil Four little grooves
are sawed in the thicker slabs, for the leads,
which are kept in hot glue and taken one
by one and inserted in the grooves. Then
the thin slab is glued to the loaded slab,
and, thus united, they are run through a
molding machine, four pencils coming from
each slab. After the ends are rasped they
are run between grooved wheels at consid-
cradle pressure for the only finish they get
This Furnishes them, and they are tied in
dozens and boxed for sale, mostly in plain
wood, and of three degrees of hardness
The graphite used comes in fine black
powder, and is mixed with german white
clay, about half and half, and then ground
with moisture forming paste. This is
pressed in dies into lengths of four leads,
which are cut and then baked at very
high temperature. These sell at 85 cents,
S1.50 and 50 per gross, and are very good
articles, writing smoothly and evenly.
The manufacturer makes about one hundred
per cent, selling the pencils at eighty-fve
cents gross, and the retailer makes good
thing selling them at cent piece. The
graphite costs about twenty-five cents a
pound, and the clay little more than the
freight. The more clay is used in the leads
the harder they will be. The cedar is cut
mostly from fallen trees in Florida swamps.

CHINESE FARMER's MoDE OF LIVING.

CHINESE FARMERS MoDE OF LIVING.
The Chinese farm house is a curious
looking abode Usually it is sheltered with
groves of feathery bamboo and thick spread
ing banyans The walls are of clay or
wood, and the interior of the house consists
of one main room extending from the floor
to the tiled roof, with closet-looking apart
ments irf the corners for sleeping rooms.
There is a sliding window on the roof made
of cut oyster shells arranged in rows, while
the side windows are mere wooden shutters.
The floor is the bare earth, where at night
fall there often gathers together miscel-
laneous family of dirty children, fowls,
ducks, pigeons and litter of pigs all liv-
ing together in happy harmony. In some
districts infested by marauding bands houses
are strongly fortified with high walls, con
tanning apertures for firearms and protecte
by moat crossed by rude drawbridge.
With grain, swine and well under his
roof, the farmer and his men might hold
out against year ssiege.
