Philopoiis, 9th District.-It seems that
whenever your paper has no news from this vi
cinity, the question is invariably asked, "Well,
wonder what has become of our correspondent? p
Owing to the late rains our farmers have been
much deferred in securing their corn crop, but
now, as the weather has changed in their favor,
no doubt they will appreciate the same, by
"making hay while the sun Shines" If so, they
will then have their crop fully housed in short
while. In regard to the newly-sown wheat and
rye would say that it is looking excellent, hence
the same should gladden. the hearts of our farm
ers.
Although the voters of our qriet neighborhood
were fully aware that Tuesday last was the day
of election, yet have been informed that quite
number who have been voting for these many
years, remained upinterested at their homes, as
they came to the conclusion that voting now-a-
days don't pay and the cause of such conclusions
speak for itself. Therefore no comments are
necessary.
Quite a serious accident happened one day last
week to James Anderson, son of Mr.. VIM. Ander-
son, who resides neSr Glencoe. He riding
his horse very rapidly when the animal stumbled
and threw him with great force to the ground,
breaking his right arm at the elbow, besides 9TH
erwse injuring him, much. so that it will be
sometime before he will be fully able to do much
in the way of farming.
Resp ting the convenience of churches and
the keeping of the Sabbath there is certainly no
community throughout the entire county, more
blessed than ours, and our people, both young
and old, apr ,iate it very highly.

Church, Sunday afternoon last, to a fair congre-

Union Chapel, but account of the rain there
were but few present. The Rev. Mr.. Small, who
has been preaching at the Chapel, occupied the
pulpit at Gorsuch Hall on Sunday night last and
the congregation was fully repaid for venturing
out such an inclement night.
The ladies of Jessops M. E. Church still have

Shawan, 9th District-In last weeks DEM
ocrat, under the head of "Cockeysville items" the
turnpike company is charged with being the cause
| Ct an accident for which it is blameless. The
| facts in the case are these: Mrs. Tawney and
| daughter were passengers in buggy with the
mail carrier, who was driving along the side-road
| which was lower than the pike, when near Mr.. j.
D. G. Duncan's store blast was set off in quar-.
ry near the road, frightening the horse and caus-
| ing him to run up the bank, overturning the
buggy and throwing the occupants out. They
| escaped with some bruises, severe shaking UP
and q terrible fright. The article referred tc
says 'it is an outrage that citizens are compelled
to pay heavy tolls for the privilege of having thei
necks in jeopardy, and their property in danger
sists in allowing persons to operate quarry, es
pecially by blasting so near a public highway
without giving due warning to passers before
each blast. Our people are very indignant ant
talk of bringing suit against the party for Grim
inal negligence. They do not blame the turnpike
company in the least.
The family of Mr.. Daniel Robinson, mentioned
in your last ISSUE are getting better. The neigh
bors, while they did not go to his house, did oil
in their power to help him. Last week some Of
his neighbors went into his cornfed at night ant
husked out good lot of corn and tied up the
fodder, all unknown to him. This is what W
call genuine sympathy.
