From Lutherville-Death of a Promis-
ing Boy.-It is seldom that Il community is so
deeply moved ours last week, in cOnse-
quence of the death and burial of one of our fa
vorite boys. Eddie, youngest son of Mr.. Edward
S. Young, who has been suffering since January
last with abcess, passed away calmly and
peacefully. In many respects Eddie was a re-
markable boy-a beautiful character. So polite,
so gentle and generous, no wonder that he was a
general favorte in the community. During his
long Illness at times his sufferings were intense,
but no murmur escaped his lips. He was perfect
" resigned to the will of his Father above. He
died on Wednesday evening, October %, and his
funeral services were hold at his fathers resi-
dence, Friday morning last.
As an evidence of the esteem in which he was
held the whole village was in attendance. Rev.
DR. Morris conducted the services, basing his re-
marks upon the 18th verse of As chapter of Jere
miah: "All ye that are about him, bemoan him ;
and all ye that know his name, say, How is the
strong staff broken, and tho autiful rodw The
Rev. gentleman dvet particularly upon the beau
tful christian character of the departed, and said
that in his long ministerial experience he had
never seen in one so young, such perfect trust in
Christ, such an entire resignation to the will of
God.
A special train leaving here at 10 a. m. bore
the family and sympathizing friends to Columbia,
Pa, where the interment was made.
Some weeks before his death he named his
pail bearers from among the young men of the
village, viz Frank Baden, Chas. E. Corkran, w.
NJ. Helig. Jr., Jas. P Reese, G. B. Richardson
and A. Ridgely. The floral offerings were nu-
merous and beautiful. That sent by the Luther
an Sabbath school, (of which he was regular at
tendant,) consisting of broken column, was espe-
cially appropriate. The family of the departed
boy can rest assured that they have the sympa
thy Of our entire community. RESIDENT.

Presentation of Medals.-The assembly
hall of Towsontown high school building was filed
with friends and patrons of the school, on Fri.
day afternoon of last week. to witness the presen-
tation of the Cunningham gold medals. At %
o'clock the school assembled in the hall, marching
in order of classes, May Butler presiding at the
piano. A piano duet "The Two Cousins" was
rendered by May Bowen and May Butler; an
opening chorus, "The Greeting Glee," by the
school. John l. Yellott, Jr, delivered the address
of welcome, which was followed by piano solo,
"The Monastery Bells" by May Watkins. Alice
Emory read an essay on "Competition, or Gold
Medals" select reading, "The Leak in the
Dyke" was given by Beckie Bayne after which
Prof. NJ. A. Newell, of the State Normal School,
presented the medals, with brief speech, which
was much appreciated by both pupils and visitors.
The first gold medal was awarded to Miss BERTHE
Porter, pupil of Towsontown school, she having
made the highest general average-S9 per cent
on all the branches, at the teachers examination
in July last. The second gold medal was award
ed to Miss Ella skipper, of Warren school, she
having nAado tho nsAI ~ tho highest general
age at the same examination, and also at the ex
animation of 1883.
The medals have been given by Mr.. j. E. A.
Cunningham, Of Baltimore. for the past three
years to the pupils of the public schools in Balt-
more county who make the highest general aver
age at the regular teachers examination, the

that are given TO the teachers. Towsontown
school has secured two out of the three medals
that have been awarded.

Warren, 9th District.-Since the suspen-
sion of operations. which has been prevailing for
some three months, many of the male employees
of the factory have been engaged in enlarging
the width ard depth of the mil-race, which is now
about completed. This will add very much to
tho Aew Of water ana eire ePeed and
power to the machinery. AS yet it is not known
when the improvement will be brought into
ton, or when the long silence will be broken that
will give to the employees another opportunity of
earning their subsistence heretofore. Being so
long unemployed and somewhat disheartened, the
enthusiasm evnced prior to an election has ma
terially subsided and there is nothing but Blaine
and Logan banner swaying lazily to and fro to
indicate that election is soon to transpire. No
candidate no discussion, but all peaceful, politi
cally, as the grave.
The Sabbath school, under the superintendent
of Mr.. Joel Hays, is progressing favorably, though
the number of scholars attending is not large
as during the summer months. yet it may be re-
garded as hopeful and promising.
The series of meetings recently closed and
which were under the auspices of Rows. Davis
and Brown, continued about three weeks; attend
ance generally small and resulting in but two
conversions.

ment was created among the pupils of Rayville
school, Thursday of last week, by woman
named Morris, who lives the school, Some
of her children who attend school reported to her
that they had been imposed upon by other scholars,
and at noon she made her appearance on the play
| grounds and knocked son of Mr.. w. IL. Hunt
down with a stone cutting his head sey erely. Mr..
G. W. Ijams, the teacher, had her put under bonds
to keep the peace, and she also was placed under
bond for her appearance at court to answer the
charge of assault and battery on the son OF Mr..
| Hunt.
Mr.. Ijams has large school at this place and
is much liked by the patrons. Miss Hester Kroh
is his assistant. We think the School Board
should grant us new school house without further
delay, as the old building is badly situated, un-
comfortable and much too small to accommodate
the pupils that would attend if it more roomy
and comfortable Besides it is but cheap frame
structure and has been in use since 1863.
Hundreds of hogs have died from disease dur
ing the last two months in this section. No reme-
dy has been found to prevent or cure the disease
Everything recommended has proven failure.

Political matters are quiet But much quiet
work has been done that will tell election day.
The laboring men understand their interests better
than "Biy Barlow" and other stump orators can
explain them. Some of our Democratic friends
who heard "Billy Barow's" great effort at Middle
town pronounced him ''too vulgar" Several in
the Upper End who have always voted for "Jack
son and Liberty" will this fall vote for Blaine,
Logan, Blair and Protective Tariff.
The Republicans are receiving considerable as
sistance from the Bourbon Democrats who reiter
ate the charges made by the Sun against Mr.
Blaine which accuses him of "waving the bloody
Shirt" after the Democrats of Fort Wayne. Indi
ana. assaulted him and refused to let him speak.
There are Democrats in the Upper End who do
not regard the amendments to the Constitution of
the United States having been added to it to
stay or remain q part of it, because they openly
assert that the States lately in rebellion ngainat
the Government "should not be taxed to pay the
war debts contracted for the preservation of the
Union unless the Government pays pensions to
Confederate soldiers" who fought TO destroy the
Union. Men who make such assertions certainly
must know-if they not entirely bereft of
knowledg ge-that instead of helping the cause of
Democracy they arc driving away from their par
ty men who regard the amendments to the Con-
stitution as finalities. An old proverb says "If
you desire TO know the secrets of the leaders of
great parties, listen to what the fools are talking
about" OBSERVER.
