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 mile for every second. Fortunately
few accidents have occurred. On Saturday
night young Freedom lady was slightly hurt
and prominent citizen had his trousers badly
damaged.
Mr.. Edwin NJ Shipley has sold to his
brother, James Shipley, his half interest in
their fine farm of 10 acres, near Eldersburg,
for $50 per acre, cash, and has purchased of
James A. Hughes & Bros. their farm near
Oakland Church, IN this district, containing
$50 acres, at $50 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
sun and make the days longer. Both sides
deserve 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.

FinksburG Items.

A party of young people from Westminster
took advantage of the excellent sleighing on
the 22nd ult. to pay 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 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.. 7. Ireland, on Thursday even
ing of last week, the occasion being a dancing
party given by a 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, 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.
Mrs. Edward Stimmel, who is ill with con-
sumption, is in an improved condition.
Both rooms of the public school at this
place were closed on Monday, because of the
absence of both teachers.

warfeldsburg Items.

Mr.. VIM. N. Sellman and Mr.. John Biggs
have been confined to their houses the past
few weeks, suffering from heavy colds.
The Gem met at the handsome and hospl'
table residence of Mr. Robert Gorsuch, two
miles south of here, Thursday evening.
Wednesday is the regular meeting night, but,
owing to the disagreeable weather of Wednes-
day, it was postponed. We were cordially
met by Miss Nora, who received each with
her accustomed smile of welcome and hospi-
tally. After arrival and the usual greetings,
the Society was called to order and the regu-
lar routine of business attended to, which was
followed by the rendition of the following
Full chorus, "Wake the Song of Jubilee, "
by the society, followed by select reading by
Miss Effie F. Poole, subject, "The Drinking
house over the way" The perfect ease and
pleasant manner in which it was rendered was
highly enjoyed. Mr.. E. Benz. Gorsuch fol-
lowed with an essay, subject, 1.-THE Value of
Time,'' a very live subject, and the manner
in which Mr.. Gorsuch handled it demonstrated
that he was alive to its importance. 1t was
highly enjoyed and received the commenda-
ton of all present. Following this was hu-
morous reading by Mr.. Geo. Pennington,
which was rendered in a very creditable man
ner and created great deal of amusement.
Miss Gertie f. Stoner and our kind hostess
kindly entertained the society with choice Sc
lections of vocal solos.
After arranging programme for next week
and accepting the kind invitation of Mr.. Chas.
f. Manahan to meet at his house next We'd
nesday evening, we glided homeward in our
sleighs over the remaining ice and snow.

Controversy over the Custody of Two
Little Girls.

In the Orphans Court here Aaron Weant.
by his counsel, d. N. Henning, Esq, filed a
petition alleging that in the spring of the year
1880 he made contract to take Ada Z. Da-
hoff, aged years, and Alice B. Dahof, aged
years, children of William Dahoff, and care
for them until they reached the age of Is
years, to educate and provide for them in
every way and when they came of age to give
each of them COW and such other personal
property as would be necessary to enable
them to start homes of their own; that Da-
hoff was a day laborer, with other children to
support, and whose wife was deceased, and
that he agreed that the petitioner should keep
the children until they came to the age of 1S
years; that since the spring of 1880 he and
his wife, who are childless, cared for these
children as their own, becoming much attach
ed to them that a short time ago, as the
children were on their way to school, the
father waylaid them, and by force took them
to his home. The petitioner prayed the Court
to enforce the contract, although only verbal,
and cause it to be reduced to writing as an
indenture of apprenticeship, and order the
return of the children to his custody. Mr..
Dahof, by his counsel, ex-Judge Hayden,
filed motion asking the Court to dismiss the
petition on account of want of jurisdiction.
Argument on this motion was heard on We'd
nesday and Thursday last The motion was
sustained, and the children went home with
their father. An appeal will be taken to the
Circuit Court The parties to the suit live in
Middleburg district.

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
Company's 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
