SINGULAR CASE OF PoIsoNING.-On last Sat
urday evening, two children of Mr.. George Ken
nedy, living near Broad Creek, were poisoned
from eating wild cherries. Upon the younger
one of the two, little girl aged about five
years, the cherries acted as strong narcotic,
and for time it was impossible to arouse her.
1t was thought she could not recover, but she
finally revived, and on Sunday morning she was
comparatively well. The older one was not SO
much affected. 1t is not generally supposed
that wild cherries are poisonous, and in moder-
ate quantities they certainly are not, but these
children probably ate half pint or more.
HANNIs.-The not ed horse Hannis. whose per-
formances on the turf, few years ago, aston
ished the horsen.en of the country, is now at
the stable of Mr.. Alex. NJ. Fulford, in Bel Air
Hannis is remarkably handsome horse. He is
descendant of Imported Messenger and was
sired by Mambrino Pilot. He has, therefore,
the same blood as Maud s., Jay Eye See and
other fast trotters. He has himself record of
2.1794. Hannis was withdrawn from the turf
only few years ago, and none of his colts have
yet been trained. They are said to be of good
style and form, many of them giving promise of
remarkable speed.

Riegel and John W. Anderson
A ROAD THAT NEEDS ATTENTIoN.-The pub
lie road from the Hickory to Forest Hill needs
attention. 1t is, in places, entirely too narrow
besides being now in extremely bad condition.
At Forest Hill the road is positively dangerous
to the public. 1t passes parallel to and imme-
diately alongside of the railroad track and the
freight cars, it is said, are frequently allowed to
obstruct the crossing for fifteen or twenty min
utes at time. On Wednesday Mr. Thomas E.
Smithson's horse became frightened at an engine
that was blowing off steam as it stood along the
roadside, at this point, and hacked completely
around in its efforts to get away. Mr.. Smithson
narrowly escaped serious accident. The road
should be changed at Forest Hill.

THE GROWING CRoEs.-The August report of
the growing crops in the United States, just
issued at Washington, says that the corn crop
of the country is about per cent below what
it was last year, yet, owing to the rains of the
I'd and Sd instant and the increased acreage, the
corn crop of Maryland will exceed by 1OO 900
bushels the crop of 1884, and be of equally good
quality, fno unforeseen accident occurs.
Corn in Hartford is reported as Choking well,
and with reasonable weather will produce an
average crop"
Oats in Hartford, the report says, show ia bet
ter yield than for yetrs, both in quantity and
quality"
Ofpotatoes in our county the report says -
"Early planted will produce more than an aver
age, but late planted are not so promising"
