MONEY TO BE MADE.-It is said that dull times
are not known by the agents for the great pub
fishing house of George Stinson Co., Portland,
Maine. The reason of this exceptional success is
found in the fact that they always give the public
that which is keenly appreciated and at prices
that all can afford. At present we understand,
their agents are doing wonderfully we'll on several
new lines. They need many more agents in all
parts of the country. Those who need profitable
work should apply at once. Women do well as men.
Experience is not necessary, for Messrs. Stinson
& Co., undertake to show all who are willing to
work, not hard but earnestly, the path to large
success. 1t should be remembered that an agent
can do a handsome business without being away
from home over night. Another advantage-it
costs nothing to give the business trial, and an
agent can devote all his time, or only his spare
moments to it. Stinson & Co., guarantee grand
success to all who engage and follow simple and
plain directions that they give. We have moi
space to explain all here, but full particulars will
be sent free to those who address the firm; theil
full address is given above.

Serious Injury to a. Horse.

Serious Injury to a Horse.-A few weeks
ago Mr.. Thomas G. Shipley, of Randallstown, I'd
district, had horse badly injured by one of its
companions getting loose in the stable The
injured animal must have been lying down when
it was attacked as the injuries are mostly on the
back and rump, showing conclusively that it had
been kicked and paved. The horse is under the
treatment of DIR. Moseey, at his stable in Balti-
more, and though it was at first thought the horse
would die, it is now believed he will get well.

Col. Webster on the Exposition.

Col. E. H. Webster and wife reached Baltimore
on Tuesday night, after visit to the worlds
Exposition and other points in the South. He
says the exhibits of the United States not only
excel those at Philadelphia in 1876, but far sur
pass anything he had expected to see. The weak
point of the exposition, he considered, was the
displays from foreign countries. He said Mary
lands exhibit was really very good and quite ar
tistisally arranged, but the great states of the
Northwest, aided by the railroads that traversed
them, had stopped at no expense to show the va
riety of their productions. Yet after looking
them over Maryland still made satisfactory ap-
pearance. He said it was quite agreeable to be
able to ride about in the open air without danger
of cold. In Jacksonville he found the weather
warmest, between forty six and fifty degrees above
zero, and at other points in Florida the hotels
were filled with guests from the North, just as the
summer resorts of Saratoga, Long Branch or New
port would be at the height of the season. The
finest hotel he saw down South was new one
just outside the walls at St. Augustine. 1t was
kept by a man from Maine. All the meats used
there were brought from Chicago, and everything
was equal to good Northern hotel. Mr.. and
Mrs. Webster had a pleasant time and enjoyed
themselves very much. They returned by rail,
and while at Grafton last Sunday found the
mercury stood at nine degrees below zero.
The INAUGURATIoN-S1.20 EXCURSION PENNA.
RoUTE.-That there will be crowd seems GER
tain, but crowds not uncommon and there is
no reason why all who go from Baltimore and
vicinity cannot be handled comfortably and
promptly. Since the last Inauguration great ad-
vancement in railroading has been made, and on
the Baltimore Potomac the projections are the
equal of the Penna. R. R., maine line, (the finest
in the world with double tracks and the block
system of moving trains; three passenger stations
in Baltimore and the terminus in the centre of
Washington city; as many special trains as may
be necessary in addition to the regular express
trains, it is safe to say that the Pennsylvania route
will transport all with promptness, comfort and
safety. The rate for the round trip has been
placed at $12O, and the excursion tickets will be
sold on March Sd and 4th, good for the return
until the 5th, inclusive.
Passengers from Towsontown will find the
Union Station on Charles street, Baltimore, par
ticularly convenient, besides which the depot
where these trains arrive in Washington is across
from the National Hotel at 9th and B. sts, the
centre of that city. Passengers who go by the
Maryland Central and taking the Especial" in the
morning will reach Union Station in time for the
fast mail to Washington.

S-It is estimated that 100000 tons, or 40O,-
100000 pounds of beet root sugar will be brought
into this country during the present year. Yet
it is not likely that one person out of thousand
will suspect that he is consuming the product of
the sugar factories of Europe. The production of
Germany and France is overlooking into the
United States at On ever increasing rate.

The Works of Abbott Iron Company

The WORKS or ADDOCC iron company
These works, located at Canton, 18th district,
which have been shut down for upwards of two
months, will it is said, be publicly sold in the
spring. Dull business caused the stoppage of the
works. A number of the stockholders of this
company are residents of Pennsylvania, where
they are also interested in steel and iron works,
and if they should buy cut the interest of the other
stockholders it is likely the works will start up
again when the condition of trade justifes it. The
Abbott Company owns a block of ground contain =
ing eight acres, with mills, furnaces, &c. At one
time the company gave employment to a thous-
and men. The company has suffered under seri-
GUS Inconvenience for long time past, the cheap
ness of manufacturing steel having almost driven
the iron products of the Abbott Company out of
the market. At the present time it ia said steel
rails can be sold for six dollars less per ton than
it costs to make iron rails. 1t is understood that
there is plan on foot to raise capital enough to
place steel plant in the Abbott Mills, and make
Baltimore the distributing point for the South for
steel rails, &c.

it reports as follows: CATER dining we proceed
ed ON a walk of inspection over the farm, occom-
panied by our host, and his most efficient mana
ger, Mr.. William Krauk, who is a member of this
Grange. We found his crops in very good con-
ditiGn, considering the very untoward circum-
stances with which truckers generally have had
to contend, the dry weather in the Fall being
very hurful to garden crops. Lettuce, especially,
was good; also cabbage. Brother Jones has a
large and fine supply of cabbage plants to set out
in the Spring. also lettuce in frames, and quite a
curiosity at this of the year, in tie shape
of peas three inches high, which have come up
voluntarily in the cabbage ground.
awe noted also fine field of young timothy,
fruit trees fine corn, tools we'll housed, and many
other things denoting attention.
can abundant supply of manure is furnished
gratis to Brother Jones, with which to enrich his
land, in the shape of sea ore which is brought up
By the tide in large quantities, and his OK teams
were busily engaged in hauling it from the shore.
"The adjacent waters abound is fish of fine
quality and oysters, the superior flavor of which
your committee had ample opportunity to test.
awe also visited the stock found it in good
order, well stalled and comfortably Uttered.
"This part ofourp pleasant duty being performed,
we wsro shown into the conservatory, where we
almost imagined we were in the tropics, such was
the display of blooming flowers in variety, tropi-
cal plants and shrubs, banana, orange, and lemon
trees, with full sized fruit all making contrast
to the wintry scene outside
owe found his spacious cellars well stocked
with fine potatoes, pumpkins, etc.
ave assembled to the observatory, where, with
field glass in hand, we viewed the country for
miles around; also the river, the Chesapeake and
distant shore of Aune Arundel.
"Brother Jones' ancestors have owned the place
from the time of Lord Baltimore having received
grant from him.
"The large and handsome trees, with their
luxurious shade in summer, and the splendid view
of the Patapsco, make the place very charming
and attractive.
"The public roads leading to the farm are not
in our opinion what they should be, and we think
it our brothers duty, as it is his privilege, to
hammer at the doors of the Baltimore county
authorities until this grievance is redressed."

SLEIGHING.

The moon now shines bright,
And its clear mellow light,
Like a flood, falls on country and town,
And the sparkling snow CLEANS
Till like silver it seems,
And the stars twinkle merrily down.
Two young lovers glide
In sleigh side by side,
And the man has his sheltering arm
Round the maiden's trim waist,
And her lips he bends to taste,
As he vows he will shield her from harm.
He thinks no one near.
So into her ear
He whispers words-you know the kind
But he quickly grows dumb
As he hears "Yum! YUM
From a boy on his sled tied behind.
