The sleighing season here has about closed.
Six weeks of sleighing and coasting ought to
satisfy all. The coasting season wound up at
Freedom last Saturday night. About fifty
persons were out. The long Sykesville sled
of Schultz passed all competitors. This
sled is gotten up with all modern improve
ments-guide wheel, gong and brakes-and
goes, where the hill is steep enough, at the
rate of a mile for every second. Fortunately
few accidents have occurred. On Saturday
night young Freedom lady was slightly hurt
and a prominent citizen had his trousers badly
damaged.
Mr.. Edwin NJ. Shipley has sold to his

Oakland Church, IN this district, containing
$50 acres, at 500 per acre.
The message of the Governor on the labor
question is the general topic of the day.
Farmers don't appear to want any time fixed
for farm labor. Some would like to prop the
sun and make the days longer. Both sides
deserve Il careful hearing-this is too grave a
matter for hasty legislation. The Governors
recommendations for the better education of
the masses all heartily concur in. While
here we would say that already we have been
informed the Western Maryland College is
preparing to ask pecuniary aid from the state.
The majority of the people object to having
the public money appropriated to institutions
of that kind. Far better would it be if the
money of the people of Carroll were appro-
priated to the public schools, that they could
be kept open at least three months longer.
The schools are now closed at the very season
best suited for the smaller children.

A party of young people from Westminster
took advantage of the excellent sleighing on
the 22nd ult. to pay a visit to our genial
neighbor, Mr.. Wesley Zepp, of this place.
They were cordially welcomed by Mr.. Zepp
and his amiable wife, who had learned of their
intended visit too late to invite any but few
of our young folks to meet them. After the
comfortable stove had done its duty, all pro-
ceeded to see how much fun could be ex-
tracted from familiar plays, which were con-
tinued until half-past eleven, when a bountiful
repast, prepared by the kind hostess, was en-
joyed. After. supper good night was played,
and by halfpast one the jingling of bells an
nounced the departure of the merry crowd.
Again we found ourselves enjoying the hos
pitality of Mr.. T. Ireland, on Thursday even
ing of last week, the occasion being dancing
party given by committee at the home of
that gentleman. Over hundred invitations
had been issued, but the Indictment weather
kept all but forty at home. The music was
from Baltimore, and was excellent. Dancing
commenced at eight and continued until
dawn dispersed the jewellers, a short intermis-
sion being occupied in doing justice to the
delicacies spread out for the refreshment of
the dancers. The programme, consisting of
the lanciers, quadrilles, tucker and several of
the round dances, was carried out, and thor
oughly enjoyed by the participants.

very badly frightened, but, except the baby,
none were much hurt, as luck would have it.

In the Circuit Court for Carroll county

that said abandonment has continued unin-
terruptedly for at least three years, and is
deliberate and final; and that the separation
is beyond any reasonable expectation of
reconciliation, and that said defendant is not
now resident of the State of Maryland.

roll county, Maryland, once in each of four
successive weeks before the 25th day of Feb
ruary, next, give notice to Thomas F. Nc
Cam, the said absent defendant, of the sub
stance and object of this bill, and warn him to
appear in this Court in person or by solicitor,
on or before the LIST Monday OF March, next,
to answer the premises and show cause if any
he has why decreee ought not to pass as
prayed.

Shutting UP Manufactures.

Although manufacturers are protected
by duties ranging from forty to sixty per cent. !,
every day comes the news of strikes on account
of the reduction of wages, the running of mills
on half time or of closing them altogether.
The following manufactures began to run
on half time on Monday, owing to the depres-
sion in the market. The Columbian Manu-
featuring Company, of Greenville, Massachu-
sets the Boston Duck Company, the Thorn
dixie Mills, the Cords Mills, the Palmer Mills,
and the Otis Company, of Palmer Massachu-
sets; the Warren Cotton Mills, of Warren,
Massachusetts, manufacturing cotton duck,
blue and brown denims, cheviot shirtings and
tickings; also the Nashua Cotton Mills, of
Nashua, New Hampshire. The Mellert Iron
Companys pipe mill, at Reading, closed on
the same day for the rest of the winter, throw
ing 800 men out of work.
Manufacturers cannot dispense with their
large profits, so when the market is stocked
wages of workmen are cut down, either by ac-
tual reduction or by lessening the hours of
labor.

THE MUTUAL LIFE OF NEW YORK.
However interesting the annual statement
of other life companies may be, none OF them
can compare in importance with the reports
presented by The Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York. 1t is the largest of all

greater assets, and each year receives and dis
burses more money than any other similar III
-stitution in the world. How it obtained SO
firm hold upon public confidence, and why
it retains that confidence, are questions easily
answered. 1t combines iberality with safety,
and always keeps its pledges. 1t never in
