Mr.. Richard Owings is still improving, and
it is thought will soon be able to get out and
about again.
Mr.. Adam Rupert and wife have returned
home from Baltimore. Mr.. Rupert is no
better; if anything, worse. We understand he
could not undergo an operation.
Mr.. Harry Hook, son of Mr.. VIM. H. Hook,
has been very i'll with quinsy and diptheria.
His throat is nearly closed at times, so much
so that couldn't swallow anything but little
milk. He is little better now.
Mr.. Ezra Coppersmith and family on Mon
day were thrown from their sled while turning
off the Washington road into the Bloom road,
near Chas. Megin's blacksmith shop. Mr..
Coppersmith was driving very fast, and when
he turned off the Washington road, the sled
slew around and struck a small pile of stone
near the forks of the road, and threw the baby
out first, and the rest on top of it. All were
very badly frightened, but, except the baby,
none were much hurt, as luck would have it.
The members of the Deer Park circuit held
their fourth and last quarterly meeting at
Brandenburg Chapel on Saturday last. The
meeting was one of much interest, and was
well attended from all the appointments of
the circuit. After attending to all the neces
sary and preliminary business, the represen-
tatives at the meeting insisted upon Rev. Geo.
McCrady's return, and appointed Mr.. Wesley
Barber, of Deer Park, and Mr.. Schroeder, of
Brandenburg's Chapel, as delegates to go to
the Annual Conference and ask the same.

McCann, defendant.
The object of this suit is to obtain decree
of divorce a uiRcltlO mdtrimOnii from the de-
PENDANT.
The bill of complaint states that on or about
the year 1878 the plaintiff was married to de-
PENDANT, in Carroll county, Maryland; that she
has always been true and faithful wife to de-
PENDANT, but that defendant, in the month of
September, A. D., 1880, beat her with stick
and drove her from his home, and has since
refused to live with her or to support her; that
defendant has abandoned the plaintiff, and
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 q resident of the State of Maryland.
1t is thereupon adjudged and ordered, this
24th day of January, A. D., 1884, that the
plaintiff, by causing copy of this order to be
inserted in some newspaper published in Car
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.

commencing in the Northwest on Thursday
with high wind accompanied by snow. The
country around Grand Forks was visited by a

has been much loss of life, as the weather has
been so cold that nobody would venture on the
prairies. At Duluth ON Thursday morning
the thermometer registered 81 degrees below
zero; at Cumberland &c below, and at Supe-
rior Junction A below A special despatch
from Saratoga, New 7 DIRK, says that one ofthc
severest storms of the winter ragged there on
Thursday night, and the midnight express

many years. In Binghamton, New York, at
eleven o'clock Friday night, the thermometer
registered 20 below zero.
The settlers in the rear townships of From
tenac and Addington, Ontario, are in danger
of starving, being unable to obtain provis-
ions IN consequence OF tne sIOppaSe VI
trains. The snow has closed the northern
part of the line. In Kingston no business
is being done, farmers cannot get in from
the country, and merchants are complaining
bitterly.
Thomas Reedy, night Waterman in Nc
Cabe Bros hide store in Cincinnati, was
found in the building Friday morning frozen
to death. The twin babes of Isaac and Re-
becca Martin, were frozen to death at Liberty
Mills, Indiana, on Thursday night. Their
crib had been placed in freless room.
The weather throughout the Northwest
was still very cold on Saturday morning, the
tt,esly,2nerature ranging from II to % degrees
below zero. At Chicago it was 12above. The

MEssRs- EDrroRs;--I observe that your shipley

searches for news and has left nothing out that was
worth knowing, except one thing our school;
taught by Mr.. Grove j. Shipley-who, hope, will
pardon me for saying word of compliment for it.
am at present, and have been for some time,
scholar of Morgan's Run Public School, and during
this time Mr.. Shipley has been teacher am now Is
years old and have attended school for about twelve
years. and have gone to school to many teachers,
but will say-with all due respect to my past teach
ers-that l have never gone to school where there
was better order, more regularity and greater ODE
dience from scholar TO teacher, than l find here:
And would venture to say, If the scholars OF said
school would themselves try, as do land hope
they do). to improve and learn all they can, they
would receive high percentage for all their exer-
cises. Our school Is at present and has been for
seven years progressing very nicely under his in
struction. At present the pupils number about ~.
and are kept pretty busy through the day and part
of the night preparing written exercises for the
morrow, which must always be presented neatly
written and nicely folded to our teacher. who is
always punetual to his duty and ready to help his
scholars. We all earning very fast especially
TO write. read, cipher spell and grammar; but must
say think Mr. Shipley should be proud of his ODE

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
companies, has large body of policy holders,
greater assets and each year receives and dis
burses more money than any other similar IN
sstitution in the world. How 1T obtained so
firm a 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
dulges in ilegitimate methods to attract policy
holders. The report of The Mutual Life, pub
lished in another column, shows that 1t has
SOL, las, 248.25 assets, a surplus OF over ST.
900, 900, more than $685., 1854, III of insurance
distributed among its great army of policy
holders, and that it paid to the policy holders
last year the sum of nearly Sl4, 600, 600, or
over SAG, 900 every bushes day in the year.
The statement will repay careful persual.

A TTENTIoN, FARMERS OF
"A CARROLL COUNTY.

Last year we introduced "Stover's Patent
Corn and Cob Sweep Grinder" which in
every case has given entire satisfaction. We
refer you among others to Mr.. Israel Rhine
hart, near Linwood, and Mr.. Joseph Stoner,
near Westminster, who, after one years use,
pronounce it complete success. Mr.. Stoner
having new Whitman Grinder, exchanged
it for one of ours. The Slower is operated by
two horses, and has capacity of II to Is
bushels of dry shelled corn per hour, and 6 to
II bushels of dry ear corn, and to Is BUSH
els of mixed corn and oats. Sample machine
can be seen at Agricultural House, corner of
Green and Liberty Streets.
BaTWe also have a second hand to 10

repaired, and which we guarantee in every
respect, and will sell low. Address

If VIC were to attempt to give notice OF all
the sleighing parties in this vicinity in the past
fortnight we could fill up one side of your
valuable journal We have participated in
several, but are now longing for the balmy
breezes and the song of birds. Last week a
party left town composed of ten sleighs and
their occupants for New Market. Two of
them fell out of line at Ridgeville and return
ed; the remainder pushed on and arrived
without accident at Griffith's Hotel, where
another party had assembled. After partak-
ing of refreshments, about two hours were
devoted to the shrine of Terpsichore, when
with lingering adieus our party "pulled" for
home, arriving safely with rosy cheeks and
suffering feet.

Ex-Gov. Foster, of Ohio, is reported as
follows in regard to the Republican nomination
for President: 81 cannot imagine that any
one would think seriously of the nomination
of President Arthur. The nomination of Presi-
dent Arthur would be suicidal. am not say
ing this in any hostility to the President, but
he would be beaten in Ohio as badly as Sec
rotary Folger was in New York a year ago.
President Arthur has done as well as might
be expected-that is he has done nothing.
With a suitable candidate the Republicans
can carry Ohio this year; but we must have
good material to do it with. am in private
life now and am attending to my own business;
so l claim the right of any other citizen to
speak my views. | expect to take part in the
next campaign, and therefore do not wish to
be handicapped with weak candidate"
