Stewartstown Railroads.

Stewartstown Railroads.&c. Glen Rock
Item, referring to this enterprise, says: "There is
now being made last effort to secure the balance
of the necessary funds to build the Stewartstown

and this the people in that section should subscribe
without delay. If the present effort should fail,
the chances for road will be delayed long
while. The friends of the enterprise have work
ed faithfully, and the people of that section will
all be beneftted they should therefore contribute
all they possibly can spare. Let this last effort
be made a success"

Marshal Ney, and is half brother of the trotting
horse Billy Bad-Eye, now owned in Philadelphia.
He has been in several races at our county fairs,
but never showed to proper advantage, owing
principally to the want of efficient handling, but
for road purposes we don't think he has had his
equal in the county.

the different Boards of Commissioners, running
through long series of years, and being the only
butcher in this section of the county who has the
facilities of supplying institution of that char
acter promptly. The Commissioners acted wisely
in placing the contract in his hands.

The succulent Corn and the Grateful

Melon.-August is month when the unwary
lover of fruit and vegetables, who gives free rein
to his appetite and reyels in the seductive but
treacherous product of the orchard and market
garden, without temperance or discrimination, is
most likely to be punished by the sudden insub-
ordination of the usually submissive and uncom-
planning organ which has been affronted by his
imprudence. The wise man governs his consump-
ton Of the succulent corn and the grateful melon
with wise prescience. 1t is the foolish person
who eats his fill without giving the future a
thought.

Two Valuable Recipes.-There is hardly
any ache to which children are subject so bad to
bit of cotton batting put on it pinch of black
pepper, gather it up and tie it, dip it in sweet
oil and insert it in the ear. Put flannel ban
dage over the head to keep it warm. 1t will give
immediate relief
When you get chilly all over and away into
your bones, and begin to snifae and almost strug-
gle for your breath, just begin in time and your
tribulations need not last very long. Get some
powdered borax and snuff the dry powder up
your nostrils. Get camphor bottle, smell it
frequently, pour some on your handkerchief and
wipe your nose with it whenever needed. Your
nose will not get sore and you will soon wonder
what's become ofyour cold. Begin this treatment
in the forenoon and keep on at intervals until you
go to bed and you will sleep as well as you ever
did.

About Rriel<s.-An average days work for a
brick layer is 800 bricks on outside and inside
wallis on facings and angles, and finishing
around wood or stone work, not more than half
of this number can be laid. To find the number
of bricks in wall, first determine the number of
square feet of surface, and then multiply by 7
for inch WALL by Ia for an s inch WALL by 81
for a II inch wall, and by % for o 16 inch wall.
For staining bricks red, melt one ounce of glue
in one gallon of water; add piece of alum the
size of an egg, then one half pound Of Venetian
red and one pound Of Spanish brown. Try tho
color on the bricks before using, and change to
light or dark with the red or brown, using yell
low mineral for buff. For cooring black, heat
asphaltum to fluid state, and moderately heat
true surface bricks and dip them. Or, make a
hot mixture of linseed oil and asphalt, heat the
bricks, and dip them. Tar and asphalt are also
used for the same purpose. 1t is important that
the bricks be sufficiently hot, and be held in the
mixture to absorb the color to the depth of one
sixteenth of an inch.

Govanstown Presbyterian Churchill
will be satisfaction to many to learn that the
Govane church, so nearly destroyed by the storms
which rocked it few years ago, has now entered
upon of strength and prosperity. The
Baltimore Presbyterian of July 18th, says: "Two
Sabbaths since Rev. Henry G. Martin, pastor of
Govane Chapel preached his first anniversary
sermon as pastor of that church. The results of
the years work are exceedingly gratifying. Not
only is the congregation now without a shadow
of dissension, but in warm, hearty unity and har-
mony. Some of the most valuable of those mem
bers who left the church in the sad complications
of four years ago, have their way clear to
return, and are now engaged in earnest christian
work. A sewing society and missionary society
have been formed in the church., and have done
much good. In the Sabbath school have also been
organized sewing society, missionary society
and "Band of Mercy" for prevention of cruelty
to animals. The additions to the membership
during the year number twenty-five. The Lord
has raised up warm friends for this church, and
',1-'re' or I!S members are glad in the thought
that the chastisement of -riIderness is past,
and the day of brighter things at hand"

Reunion the 9th Regiment The West

that the reunion OF the 9th Regiment Maryland
Volunteer Infantry will take place in Westminster,
on Friday, 18th day of September, 1884. The
change from the 10th to the 18th of September was
to crafty number of comrades who could not
have attended on the earlier date. We have
every reason to believe, from an interview recently
had with Gen Sheridan by Col. McKelp, that
he will be present on the OCCASION thus affording
the veterans opportunity of greeting their old
commander. Any information from comrades in
respect to the re union will be furnished by Alex.
