Fire ut Gamblll Station.

The residence of Mr.. Joseph Wat
son, at Gambill's station, on the An
napolis and Elkridge Railroad, was
destroyed by FIRE at an early hour
this morning. A defective aue in the
chimney caused the accident. The
family of Mr.. Watson had just sat
down to breakfast when the FIRE was
discovered. An alarm was given and
Capt Green and number of farmers
in the neighborhood responded, but it
was considered useless to tackle on
to the residence, without water, and
it was allowed to burn to the ground.
The country 6remen (Capt. Green
says they are daisy workers) lent
their efforts to saving the kitchen,
which was separated from the main
building by she'd, which they sue
ceeded in tearing down. A little
water was found in the cistern and by
a judicious use of it the kitchen was
saved. The building was insured in
the Agricultural Insurance Company
of Watertown, N. Y, of which John
Ireland, Esq, is the agent for Anne
Arundel county, for $4,000.

AN ex.assemblyman appeared in
one of the New York magistrates
courts few days ago, as the defender
Of a lot Of burglars and thieves, who
had been arrested for creating distur-
baDce, thinking they would be useful
to him at the next election. He
claimed that they were "honest citi.
zens who had been on little bit Of a
bat, " and pleaded SO earnestly that
the justice discharged them all. The
attorney subsequently discovered that
bis gold watch and chain bad been
stolen by some Of bis honest clients.
and he nov wishes be had let justice
take its course.

The Temperance Social.

The monthly social of the Young
Women's Christian Temperance Un-
ion beld last night at Wesley Chapel,
proved to be the most interesting yet
given by the organization. The
church was well filled with an atten-
tive and appreciative audience. The
programme was opened with a hymn
after which followed reading en-
titled "Only a Drunkard,n Miss EN-
ma Abbott. A solo was next render
ed by Miss Mary Dadds, and read
ing by Miss NJ. Banks closed part
first, after which there was an inter-
mission of about fifteen minutes for
social converse. The programme was
continued by solo sung with sweet
ness and expression by Miss Brewer.
Miss Carter then read an interesting
selection, after which a duet was rem
dered with childish sweetness by
Misses jamie and Katie Feldmeyer.
The entertainment was pleasing and
we hope the merit of the young peo.
pie, as well as their zeal IN the work
will receive encouragement from our
citizens.

Horn Point Bridge.

We are glad to see that the County
Commissioners have begun to repair
Horn Point bridge-a much needed
Improvement for the safety of life and
property. This bridge has been in a
rickety and unsafe condition for We
hicles for some time, and residents of
the Point whose business compelled
them to cross and recross the bridge
with their teams, have felt unsafe In
their travel. These people pay taxes
for the support and maintenance Of
the county, and they should be pro-
vided with safe travel over their pub.

CANT ENDORSE HIM-Maj0r
Sprigg Harwood and the delegation
who went down to Washington few
days ago in behalf of our worthy
townsman, DR.. George Wells, for in
ternaI revenue collector of the Fifth
district of Maryland, in their inter.
view with Senator German, was cool
" informed by that high official, that
he could not recommend the DR.. for
the place he bad been lead so long to
believe be was to have. The vener-
able Major who knew so well what
valuable services his friend had rem
dered not only to the Senator whom
be now addressed, but the democratic
party of his county and State, was
bold and persistent in his demand,
knowing full we'll that there was no
one within the Senator's district or
the State of Maryland who was more
entitled or more capable of filing the
place than the one whose cause he
then espoused. DR.. Wells is true
and steadfast democrat. He has lead
his party to victory when victory
seemed almost impracticable; be has
never faltered in the line of duty; he
is as true as steel and his word is as
good as his bond--and his friends
are legion-not only here where he
has lived all his life, and is esteemed
by his felow-citizens, but throughout
the State; and any one who takes
him to be q nominal man in politics,
is reckoning without his host. DR..
Wells has for years been the most ar
dent worker for the success of bis
party in this county and State, of any
other politician we know of in this
county, and has been the least re-
warded politician in the State by his
party. We say this without sfear of
contradiction. The small Office that
he now seeks at the hands of those
whom be has helped to place in the
high positions they now hold, would
not begin to compensate the Doctor
for the services he has render
ed bis party. He who turns bis back
on DR.. George Wells of Anne Arun-
del county, turns it also on host OF
friends, who will resent it in the time
to come

The two rival candidates for the
Senate in Illinois, are Hon. w. r.
Morrison. Of the House Of Represen
tatives and Gen. Logan. The Legis-
Iature Of that State has been two
months trying to elect = Senator and
seem to be as far from election as
ever. The candidates, however, are
on the best Of terms. Morrison moved
into quarters adjoining Logan's and
suggested to the latter that there
be no mud-slinging IL the canvass, TO
which Jack" assented. So their
campaign has been free from abuse
and slander, as ell rival candidates
should BE.

INFORMANT.

To the People of Eureka and Vicinity:
We wish to state a few facts which we
hope will place US in q true business
light and on q sound commercial standing
in this community.
First-We say it without fear of success
full contradiction, that we are selling (and
propose TO continue to do SOY first-class
dry goods, carpets and gents furnishin &
goods as cheap as they are being sold to-
day in San Francisco or any place on this
coast.
Second-We have no old and shelf-worn
goods which we offer, but ell CLEAN,
NEW, STYLISH materials. selected with
great care from the finest and largest
stocks Of goods just opened from the East
by direct importers. We have completed
our arrangements with one of the largest
wholesale houses in the world, to con-
s.antly secure for Us the best of bargains
and the first selection Of new goods in
every instance.
Third-We propose adding q small liv-
ing profit TO every article we sell. WE
OFFER NO BATS. OR QUOTE FIG
TICIOUs PRICES in order to in
duce people to buy, but place our
goods side by side with any and all
competitors. knowing that upon examina-
ton we will come out ahead. We
have one price. and mark every ar
ticle in plain figures. so that every
man, woman or child can see for
themselves just what every article sells
for. Since opening, u store has been
crowded constantly, and each buyer has
left with the verdict that they had been
squarely treated. and served good goods at
low prices. By SPECIAL FAVOR we
have been given inducements by O'oonnor'
Moffatt 4 Co., of San Francisco, in the way
of obtaining goods from their house.
should any Of the ladies in the community
wish to send away, we keep on hand a
full stock OF their samples from every de-
psrtmeut to select from, which can DO
seen at any time in our store.
Remember, one price to all. square deai.
ing, no bats offered, goods obtained
strictly from first hands, entire safisfac-
ton given or money refunded, and an
earnest desire TO please all and obtain a
reasonable share OF your patronage. we
remain respectfully yours,
