paign of Jackson in 1852" Col Allen was al

There are already some premonitions O
spring. The birds are singing every day and tn
cats are fighting all night. By the way, censu
of the cats in Towsontown would reveal SOM
startling facts. We despise slang but in all earn
estness we would say-shoot the cats.
DR.. Virden, of Hartford county, who own
large ice houses on the Susquehanna, opposite

We return thanks to Alexander Brown
Esq, for complete list, with full pedigrees, o.
the Elk Ridge hounds. There are 50 dogs in the
pack, AZ of which are imported, the others being
home bred. The list is very handsomely gotter
up and shows that the Elk Ridge men do nothing
on a small scale.
Mrs. Trail, of Frederick, mother of Mrs

which caused her death the day following. She
was in her SD year and before had been a re-
markably active lady.
There are more new men drawn as jurors
for the March term of Court than we have known
before for years. 1t looks as though the "regu-
lars" as they are called, are to be given rest
and that new men are to come to the front. This
is just and proper. All taxpayers should have q
chance in the jury box.
Col. Samuel N. Hyde, of Long Green Val
ley, contemplates opening fine avenue near the
station of his name on the new railroad, and
will lay off building lots which he expects to dis
pose of to citizens of Baltimore. The new coun-
ty road running from Knoble's store, on the old
Manor road, past Hyde's station to the Long
Green pike, has been opened to travel.
Our sanctum was honored on Monday by
a visit from our esteemed friend, Pleasant Hun
ter, ESQ.,, of the 18th district. He had been con-
tirely recovered and weighs many pounds more
than he ever did. He is quite an aged gentle
man but is still active and takes lively interest
in the affairs of the county. There are few men
in the county who have a warmer place in the
hearts of the people than Pleasant Hunter.
The Circuit Court here has refused to grant
a new trial in the case of J. W. Rice VS.. the
Phila., Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad in
which the plaintiff secured verdict of $4,000
sro& AHon IL
train. new trial has also been refused in the
case of Conrad Newburgh, who obtained YER
dict of $500 against the Md. Central r. R. Co..
for injuries received while crossing the tracks of
that Company at Homeland station. Both cases
will likely be taken to the Court of Appeals.
notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. E. B.
Peasants, the chief engineer of the Maryland
Central Railroad, performed his services most ac-
,eptably under very adverse circumstances, little
# any reference has ever been made to him by
he newspapers which have so often referred to
he progress the work was making. Mr.. Pleas
ints is worthy of all praise for the arduous and
lificult work he performed in carrying through
his enterprise, and we feel that he has not been
airly dealt with by the press. He is quite
young man to have shouldered such a response
oility, and having succeeded so well he should
receive his full share of the credit.
