FINE DAIRY.--One of the most complete
and thoroughly equipped diaries of the county
is that of Mr.. Isaac II. Thompson, near Darling
ton. MIR. Thompson has from 25 10 80 cows,
and makes all the year around from So to 1875
lbs. of "gilt-edged" butter per week. The
whole of 1t is regularly taken by public insti-
tuition near Philadelphia. Mr. Thompson's
COWS are mostly grade Jerseys, which he thinks
preferable, for dairy purposes, to pure-bred, al
though he has some OF the latter. His bulls are
registered Jerseys. He uses the Cooley cream
err, and regards it as unsurpassed by any other
in use.
TRoTTING IN BUSH RIVER NECK-Some in
teresting trials of speed took place. last Satur-
day, at the Old Baltimore race course in Bush
River Neck. The horses participating were
pair belonging to Sheriff Walker and Mr. Thos.
Hanway, of Bel Air; Mr.. Thomas E. Morgan's
mare Middleton" and his horse "Plutus," and
Mr. Jacob G. Hollis's Shoreham Morgan colt.
Mr. Wilton Greenway drove team consisting of
Mr.. d. b. Chesney's gray HambletonIan and
DIR. L. E. Jackson's four year old colt. The
trotling was excellent, but the owners would
not make record for their horses. They are
all flyers.
SEARCHING FOR A STOLEN HoRsE.-Last FIJI
day David Waring, constable, of Rising Sun,
Cecil county, and John Woodrow, constable, of
Oxford, Pa, stopped at Shannons Hotel, Bel
Air, in search of horse and buggy which had
bpp Of ri
ford The team was traced through Rising Sun
and across Couowingo Bridge to Bel Air. Every
trace was lost, however, at the first toll-gate on
the Baltimore turnpike, near Bel Air. The
constabes went on to Baltimore and returned
TO Bel Air Sunday evening without having
found either the thief or the horse and buggy
The rogue professed to be sheriff of Delaware
county, Pa.
Col. JOHN CARROLL WALSH, who has been
appointed to represent in Hartford the Commits
sioner for Maryland for the New Orleans Worlds
fair, publishes card this week, urging our
citizens to send samples of Hartford productions
to the Exposition. Wehope the appeal will meet
with ready response. 1t would be an easy
matter, we think, to send samples of tobacco,
corn, wheat hay fruits and vegetables, the
product of Hartford soil, together with spec.
mems of the various minerals found here. Mr.
j. P. Silver might send some of his long corn
DR.. g. W. Davis his prolific wheat, and hun
dreds of other Hartford farmers also have grain
which would take a first place among any in
the world.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT TO Mr. TowNsLEY. Mr..
VIM. E. Townsley, painter, of wilma, appears to
be particularly unfortunate, this year. Last
Saturday, while preparing to paint the roof of
Mrs Boses new carriage house, near Upper
Falls, Baltimore county, in moving board the
ladder slipped, as he stood with one foot on the
top rung and the other on the caves. He caught
hold of the ladder, which broke his fall and es-
capped with only trifling injuries, having fallen
distance of Is feet. His horse has run away
with him three times, severely njuring him.
Once the animal kicked him. One of his ribs
was broken by the breaking of scaffold while
painting Mr.. George w. Browns house, ut
Magnolia. Subsequently two ribs were broken
and he received u severe cut over the eye by the
breaking of scaffold at MIR. Rouse's new house
in Bel Air He had better take out an accident
insurance policy. According to the perversity
of things he would then probably escape any
more accidents.

APPLICATION FOR DAMAGEs.-Mr. Charles
Dance, of Pleasantvillc, was before the County
Commissioners, on Monday, applying for dam
ages sustained by the loss of pair of horses
and injury to farm wagon by reason of de-
fective bridge. The accident occurred on the
llth of September, at the bridge which crosses
the tail-race near IIanway's Mill. Mr.. Dances
wagon, laden with six barrels of cider, was
crossing the bridge, in the direction of Pleas
antvile. The lead horses had crossed and bear
ing in the direction of the mill the wagon was
brought near the edge of the fridge, which was
unprovided with guard-rail. The driver in
pulling the leaders around pulled them back
upon the tongue horses, both of which were
blind, and at the same moment the bridge broke
and the four horses were precipitated into the
mill race. The wagon fell partly in, one of the
hind wheels being caught on the bridge. The
accident was witnessed by Messrs. Joseph
Lomax, David Hanway, Mr.. Dance and Varney
Wright, all of whom assisted in the effort to
save the horses. The lead horses were saved by
keeping their heads above water until the har-
ness could be cut, but the tongue horses were
drowned. Mr.. Dance estimates his loss at over
$500. The Commissioners listened to state.
ments by Messrs. Dance, Lomax, Thos. Braden-
baugh and VIM. Waters in reference to the &C.
cident and the condition of the bridge, and de-
ferred action on the matter until they could
hear from Messrs. Varney Wright and David
Hanway, who were not present on Monday.
