We were travelling through piece of woods

rustic in the leaves, and, to our great aston

twenty-five yards, and then disappeared in the

Some Old Relics.

In looking over some old papers recently,
Mr.. Ii. l.. Norris, of this city, came across a
Baltimore & Ohio railroad shn-plaster of the
denomination of l24 cents. 1t bears the date
of February TO- l841-43 years ago; is hand
.somely engraved, and printed on fine silk
paper. The notes were payable in stock of
the company, when presented in sums OF one
hundred dollars or upwards. He also came
across the Carroll county election returns in
1874, when the Wings carried the county by
lOl majority for Pratt, for governor; and by
2l4 majority for William Roberts, for Senator,
against Jacob Powder. The Wing candidates
elected to the House of Delegates were James
Raymond, Joseph Ebaugh, Macaijah Rogers
and John Thomson. The total vote cast in
the county was 1861. There were only nine
districts then, called as the first nine are now
named The districts formed since then are
Middleburg, No. 10, New Windsor, No. IL
and Union Bridge, No. II. The vote has
doubled since that election. Now there are
about 1900 persons registered, and last fall

Fire Last sunday.

Stand up, boys, and listen; there are grave
complaints against you. The most of you
smoke cigarettes and cigars, and whether you
are guilty or not, you are charged by some of
the older heads with having caused the fire in
Mr.. Thomas P. Goodwin woods last Sunday,
whereby several acres of woods were burned
over and pile of five or six cords of wood
were destroyed. No one saw any of you care
lessly throw match or lighted cigarette or
cigar in the dried leaves in the woods, but
some of you were rambling out there last
Sunday, and you know the most of you smoke,
from five years of age up.
Smoking is very bad habit for boys, espe-
cially very small ones. 1t is injurious in many
ways, and instead of making you look manly
it makes men regard you worthless and
impudent Your parents, as rule, don't
know you smoke, and you 60 off into the
woods to get out of their sight. In doing this
YOU become trespassers. You have no busi-
ness to go upon the premises of others; but
people will not object if you don't destroy
property, by breaking down fences or setting
the woods on fire. At best you are regarded
as necessary evil; but when you get to
smoking you are positive nuisance. IT the
owners Of the woods near the city catch you
smoking on their premises, they will skin you
alive. Don't forget it. Now go and play.

Fatally burned.

Between and o'clock last Saturday
evening Emma, the seven-year-old daughter
Of Mrs. Margaret Grumbine, of this city, was
fatally burned by the explosion of a coal OIL
can. The little girl, it is supposed, got the
can to pour some oil on small fire IN the
cook stove in the kitchen, and whilst doing SO
the can exploded, scattering the burning oil
over her. She ran and screamed, her mother
soon coming to the rescue, but it was not un-
inl others arrived that the flames were extin-
guished. In the meantime, however, she was
horribly and fatally burned from the knees to
the top of her head-the eyes escaping-and
she presented sad and repulsive sight DIR.
w. X. Fringer and other physicians were
promptly at hand TO minister to her, but she
was too seriously injured, and died about y
O'Clock Sunday morning. Great sympathy
was expressed for the little girl and her sor-
rowing mother by the entire community.

ShipIey Items,

Our farmers are very much behind hand
with their spring work-put back on account
of so much rain. Some have finished planting
corn; some are half done; some are not done
plowing for corn yet The many rains have
caused the grass to improve very fast, and
many grain fields which had begun to turn
yellow have become a dark green color. The
fruit trees of our section all seem to be very
full of bloom, and, if they should set accord
ingly, we feel to hope for plenty of fruit
Mr. Nathan Gorsuch, formerly of Baltimore
but now of Carroll, and who moved on John
C. Del's farm about three weeks ago, brought
with them the measles. Their twin babies
have Gboth died. One was buried at Zion
Chapel on Saturday last, and the other on
Monday last DR.. Klink, of your city, pro-
nouneed it measles and membranous Group
together. Mr.. Gorsuch has three more chill
dren down with the measles. If there ever
was family that deserves sympathy it is Mr..
Gorsuch's. The old gentleman is about IA,
and has been partly paralyzed on the right
side; therefore he is nearly helpless. His
wife has been ill for long while, and is con-
valescing very slowly.
Mr.. John G. Cook has put part of his farm
under post and railing, which adds much to
the front appearance of Mr.. Cooks farm.
