alton. Western Maryland College has receiv-
ed a large number of new students, which, with
the old ones, will increase the number beyond
that of any fall term.
New Windsor College and Female Semi
nary will begin the fall term on next Wednes-
day with larger number of students in both
College and Seminary than on any previous
year. Prof Alfred Herdman, of Washington,

brings to his work testimonials from the most
prominent men in this country as well as
successful experience.
The private schools generally opened this

Reports from the public schools show a
far greater average than at former fall terms.
Carroll, perhaps, has greater educational facll;
tiles than any other county in the state, and
we are gratifed to know that the opportunity
for educating children is being availed of by
parents and guardians.

On Thursday the club from Mt. Washing
ton, Baltimore county. met the Westminster
boys in expectation Of gaining an easy victory
over the country club, but they themselves did
not prove to be ordinary practice. After the
second inning the Westminsters hurried
through the game, running bases rashly and
hitting at anything Nicholas, being injured,
played left field, and Greer caught perfect
game. The whole affair was what Nicholas
would call ''playing marbles, = and not first
class game of that. The score by innings

now in possession of Daniel Frazier, and lies
within.about one mile from Finksburg, with a
turnpike road leading to it, and within short

for less than its actual value, and is well
worthy the attention of those desiring TO have
a moderate sized farm. 1t will positively be
sold to the highest bidder.
The terms Of sale are, that one-half of the
purchase money shall be paid in cash on the
day of sale or on ratification by the Court,

SEPTEMBER.

Approaching autumn just begins to tinge
The leafy verdure with golden fringe;
Through the fair scenes unequal shades appear,
That speak the downfall of the waning year.
The breath of orchards rich with golden fruit
Obedient to the breeze and heating ray,
From the deep1oaded bough a mellow shower,
Incessaut in the sunlight melts away.
When the year began in March this month
was properly named September, being the
seventh in the calendar. But, since the COM
mencement of the year two months earlier,
its name has become inappropriate, as is
likewise the case with its three followers,
October, November, December. Our Saxon
ancestors called it GerSt- monat, or barley
month, because they then gathered in their
crop of this grain, one of great Importance to
them on account of the favorite beverage
which they brewed from it.

NEW PHILADELPHIA. August So 1881

New PHILADELPHIA, August So 1884.
MEssRs. EDIToRs Il fancy that many of
my friends would be pleased to hear from me
once more, but, having no news of Importance
to communicate, it looks almost like imposing
upon your valuable time and space to simply
saw that my general health is about as good as
usual. My daughter, Mrs. NJ. E. Cox, of
Attumwa, Iowa, joined me at Mt. Vernon,
this state, on the 18Th of June, and, after
spending about two months visiting kind
hearted friends in Knox county, we stepped
over week in Holmes county among Mary
landers, and had it as pleasant as heart could
wish. From there we came into this (Tusca-
rawas) county, to visit the family and friends
of Moses Ogg Moses was a brother of your
Nicholas. Many pleasant day have | spent
in company with them and others when young,
and how sweet the memory still. Moses,
like most of my old time associates, has passed
away. The widow, two daughters and son
occupy the homestead, and are comfortably
situated; the other children are married and
live near by, except one son that is in Iowa.
My daughter health has improved a great
deal since she came to this state, attributable
mainly to the exercise, change of scenery,
&C., which makes it very gratifying, as it was
for that purpose to some extent that she
wished to travel. But happily the pleasure
ing new acquaintance more than CON-
pensates her for all the fatigue and exposure
she had to undergo We will return to Mt.
Vernon next week. twas in our programme
to visit Baltimore and take in your place and
surrounding country, bpt am NOT yet ready
to say when, time passes so rapidly by.
There seems to be but very little said about
politics in central Ohio. did see one man
going up back street the other day who was
said to be for Blaine, and guess he was-he
looked like he was hunting for some kind OF
a rout. There is an old darkey up Crooked
Run who says he is used to doing dirty work,
and he is going for Logan, cause Logan went
for him.
Wheat is good quality and fair yield. Corn
not so good, been too dry for it. Seeding
will soon commence. Fine rain yesterday.

TaueytOWn Items.

We are still at the same place we were
year ago, with everybody busy. 1t would be
safe to offer a reward for an idle man in this
place.
The remains of Mr.. Conrad Schue, who
died suddenly on Monday last of heart disease,
at his residence at Piney Creek, were inferred
at the German Reformed cemetery on Tues
day, and also the remains of Mr.. Samuel
Brown were laid to rest in the same place on
Wednesday.
Grain is coming in very fast; so much so
that both warehouses had to have extra props
to help sustain the weight in the grain in them.
Messrs. John Bower, Of Bridgeport, and
John p. Gardner, of this place, have rented
Lewis Elliott's storeroom and dwelling, on
Frederick street, for the purpose of opening
a hardware store in the spring.
Hog cholera has made its appearance in
this place. Amos Zentz lost a very nice one.
David Bollinger has been to the city pur-
chasing his new stock of drugs, &c.
Our public schools commenced last Mon
day, and so did number of taxpayers CON-
mence to swear about the change of books.
Some have determined to keep their children
home rather than purchase new books and
put the old ones aside.
Joseph Golden, of Pittsburg, Pa, has pur-
chased his father farm, near town.
Henry Harnish has completed his residence
and storeroom near the depot. Messrs. Fuss
& Seton, furniture dealers, occupy the store
room.
John Eckenrode, son of I. H. Eckenrode,
returned home Wednesday from the West for
short visit. 1t is supposed that when he
takes his departure for the western wilds he
will have a partner to share his trials, troubles
and tribulations.
Joseph Riddlemoser, of Baltimore, was on
visit to his brother-in-law, Lewis Elliott.

defeat on the second day to Mitten's being batted

Picnic Near New windsor.

The annual picnic held in Judge Sling
huff S woods on Tuesday last was delightful
affair. The weather was charming, the COM
pany select, the ladies pretty and the music
good; in fact, more refined and congenial
set of people are not seen together often.
The young gentlemen who got up the picnic
deserve much praise for the admirable man
agement of the whole affair. The conduct of
all present was upexceptional, and it was ap
parent that the young men present had been
taught at home to show their best behaviour
whenever entering any public place, which on
many occasions, we are sorry to say, has been
the reverse The few others present on the
occasion who perhaps had been brought up
under rather anefuIinfuenees were restricted
by Judge Slingluff's presence in the back
ground with sharp stick, whose name is a
guarantee that no irregularities will be toler-
ated on his ground In fact, it is necessary
for young people to be brought together fire.
quently for social intercourse and mirth, for
the less amusement you give people the worse
they will be. Our young folks always look
forward with pleasure to the approach of the
great annual picnic, and its popularity was
fully attested by the presence of several hun
bred people.
