COMMENCEMENT AT JOHNS HOPKINS
UNIVERSITY.

BALTIMORE, June 9th, 1884.
Mcssrs. Editors AS the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity ranks among the foremost educational in
stitutons of the Union so it is the first to hold its
commencement ceremonies. The closing exercises
of the eighth academic year. which occurred on the
9TH inst, marked by that simplicity of pro-
cedure and absence of display characteristic of
Hopkins and gave an opportunity to President
Gilman to speak, in his usual happy vein, of the
advantages of university training and the need of
fostering our common schools and charging their
scope In the course of his remarks he declared
that the young men of the present day were too
Indifferent towards politics that as it was the
duty of every citizen to bear share in the public
burdens, so he should qualify himself for those
duties by reading, discussion and close study
He also spoke of the deep religious stratum under
lying the tree of knowledge, and in conclusion ex-
horted his hearers to take the University motto,
"Veritas eos i5eraJit" home to their hearts.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts was then con-
ferred on tweuty-three and that of Doctor of
Philosophy on fifteen candidates, the largest class
ever graduated from the University, and which,
in point of scholarly attainments, will compare
favorably with any similar body of collegians in
the country. Among those receiving the degree
of Bachelor of Arts were Messrs. William Kennedy
Cromwell George c. Stokes, Jr, and Edgar g.
Miller Jr., of Baltimore county, and Geo. Dobbn
Penniman, of Howard county. Mr.. William l..
Glenn, whose summer residence is near Cations
vile, received the well-merited honor of gradu-
ate scholarship.
The day Is not far distant when parents will ap
preciate the fact that they can secure better edu
cation for their sons, and at less cost, at Johns
Hopkins than they can at the fancy Northern
colleges, where they taught to cultivate their
biceps at the expense of their brains. The per-
sonnel of the student improves every year, and
glance at the catalogue reveals the names of some
of the most prominent residents of Baltimore city
and county who have sons entered at the Univer-
sity. This is as it should be. 1t shows deter
mination to encourage home manufactures and
proper feeling of local pride in an institution,
which, although cosmopolitan in its staff of in
structors and corps of Students is par excellence
Maryland University, monument to a Balti-
more merchant and philanthropist, built with
funds invested mainly in Baltimore corporations
and securities, and under the fostering care and
guardianship of Board of Trustees whose names
are sufficient guarantee of its standing.
After prayer and benediction by the Rev. Geo.
c. Stokes, of Govanstown, the company repaired
to the Gymnasium, where a sumptuous collation.
was served. d. S. G.

Trouble on the Catonsville Short-Line.
Henry Weller colored, committed to Jail on
Wednesday, charged with assaulting man named
McGraw, of the commissary department of the
Catonsville Short Line Railroad. A warrant was
issued for Weller's arrest, and officer Geo. W.
FeelemEer tried to execute it but the fellow ran
away when he was fired at without effect, but
when he got to Catonsville and being confronted
by officer Kalb, Weller drew billy on him and
the officer shot him in the leg and then arrested
him. The wound is not considered serious. The
commissary belongs to Harding & Young, con-
tractors.
Twenty-Five of the italian workmen refuse to
do any more work on the road until they are paid
money alleged to be due them. The matter is in
the hands of counsel.

A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS ENTERpRlsE.-Mr.
Joseph Wardin who short time ago established
a stationery and newspaper store in the thriving
town of Waverly, is succeeding far beyond his
most sanguine expectations, and the storeis filling
a want long felt in that place. The young lady
who has charge of the store is most polite and
accommodating, serving her numerous customers
with promptness and satisfaction, and she deserves
the liberal patronage she is receiving. In con-
nection with his other business Mr. Wardin is the
agent for the sale of tickets for the 0role Base
Ball grounds, and when the season opens the
lovers of this sport be supplied with admission
tickets at his store. The people of Waverly should,
and we believe will, sustain this new business
enterprise.

To Drive Away Moths.-Those who are
storing furs or wooden goods for the summer,
should first beat them thoroughly with rattan
to drive the dust out and get rid of the moth eggs
that may have been laid in them. Then put them
into closets that are lined with tar paper. Moths
cannot stand the strong odor of tar, and never
live long under its influence. Tobacco and cay
enne pepper, once almost universally used, are
valueless. Moths horish amid both.

prevalence of heavy thunder storm which passed
over Western Run Valley, on Sunday morning

Georgetown, 18th District.-It may not
be known to many of your readers that there is
prosperous town in this district called Georgetown
but such is the fact and since the place was
christened six years ago, it has been thriving
wonderfully and now has quite number of in
habitants. We are supplied with two hotels,
kept by Messrs. Sommers and Moller; grocery
and feed store by II. R. Honeyman; butcher,
Jacob Secrist carpenters and builders, Downey
& Bro; baker, III. Tweals blacksmiths and
wheelwrights, Kemp & Grauer; florists, Erdman
& Dom. The extensive brewery of Mr.. George
Brehm is located near here and many of his
workmen live in the village.
We are in want of many things yet to complete
our happiness. We want postofiice first. The
mail now goes to Gardenvile, two miles farther
up the road, but the postmaster very kindly re-
turns all of it intended for citizens, which is
certainly great accommodation. We also need
public school, our children now having to walk
a distance of q miles, which is too far. The
place stands in need of a barber and shoemaker.
THE UNION now has correspondents at Fullerton,
Raspeburg, Gardenvie and Georgetown.
A Blaine and Logan campaign club will soon
be started here. TELEMACUs.
From Lauraville.-On Thursday night of
last week, one of Webers brewmen, got to walk
ing in his sleep, and falling out of window, in
iured his back quite seriously, DIR. E. G. Darling
somewhat, he was removed to city hospital.
Your correspondent, Belle, writing from this
place, was laboring under misapprehension
when she stated that Mr.. John Evans was build
ing dwelling for our postmaster. The house
is intended for Mrs. West, and is being built on a
portion of the property which formerly belonged
to the Hinkle heirs, which has been purchased by
Mr.. Rosenberger,
We have had delightful rain and our garden
ers are rejoicing, and since then, they have been
busily engaged setting out plants One gardener,
Mr.. List, has patch of many thousands, which
are looking very fine.
Mr.. Joseph Biltz has improved his property
very much by the erection of summer garden
to rusticate in during the hot weather.
We would advise Sheriff Knight to take drive
down in this neighborhood some Sunday after
noon if he wishes to acquaint himself with the
open violations of our Sunday law. I hope he
will come RESIDENT.

Arrest of a Notorious Chicken Thief

Arrest OF Notorious Chicken Th1ef.-
Constable Harry Councilman, of the 18th dis
trict, arrested Edward Beatty, colored, on Thurs
day morning last, and brought him to Towsontown,
when Squire Moore committed him to Jail for the
action of the Grand Jury, in default of $500 secu-
rity. The prisoners charged with stealing chick
ems from Mr.. Charles Keifer, of the Hartford road.
The officer had been on the track of his man for
about a week, but only got up with him on Thurs.
day.
No doubt Beatty is the same individual that
has robbed q half dozen hen houses at Lavender
Hill and vicinity. The good people of that Sec
ton will be able to breathe more freely, and the
careful housewife, particularly, after locking her
hennery at night, retire and sleep soundly,
believing that the fellow that has been disturbing
her quiet repose for so many nights, is now under
lock and key, and the chances are he will remain
there for some time.

In the Baltimore Court OF Common PleaS.
Judge Fisher has decided the suit of the trustees
of the Sheppard Asylum against Mr. G. Morton
Stewart in favor of the defendant. The trustees
own mill on Gwynn's falls, Frederick road,
and leased it to Samuel Hazlehurst, who executed
a mortgage for $4,000 on his leaschold interest to
Mr. c. Morton Stewart. Mr.. Hazlehurst became
indebted to the trustees $565 for rent, and they
sped Mr.. G. Morton Stewart for the amount, on
the ground that he was liable on tne epnvenant.
Just before the suit was entered Mr.. Stewart
released the mortgage, which was not recorded
until after the suit was docketed Judge Fisher
held that the execution of the release of the mort
gage was sufficient to release Mr.. Stewart from
liability for the rent.

" nat So rare as @ DAY N June
We answer by saying-Tioo days in June, fishing
for bass on the Susquehanna river, at Peach Bot
tom. A man who wouldn't rather do this than
hold "pat" hand, hath no poetry in his soul.
The road is in fine condition its entire length,
the cars running smoothly and comfortably, and
the ride to Delta will amply repay any one. Pic
mic parties could find no more charming and pic
turesque place in the State at which to spend
few hours than at the famous Rocks of Deer Creek,
where the shade is ample, the scenery surpass-
ingly beautiful, and last but not least, an unlim-
tied supply of pure, cold water. We have no
doubt that during the present summer many will
avail themselves of the opportunities offered by
the Railroad Company to visit this famous re-
sort.
