Last Saturday was the quietest 4th of July
that has been spent in Manchester for several
wears. About the dawn of day the Drum
Corps paraded the streets, to remind the cit
liens that it was the anniversary of our
national independence, but when the sound
of martial music ceased there was nothing to
distinguish the day from other Saturdays in
town. Probably the late and cool season
failed to warm up the patriotic enthusiasm
which in other years led our people to cele-
brate the day in manner worthy of the occa-
sion.
A picnic was held at Maple Grove on the
4th by company of excursionists from Han
over, Pa, under the auspices of the Hanover
Band. Hacks were run to the Grove from
town for the accommodation of town folks
wishing to go TO the picnic, and excursionists
who wished to visit town. Among the latter
there were a number of young men who no
doubt felt next morning as if there had been
a grand display of fireworks in their heads.
Last Saturday afternoon, while Mr.. George
C. Stansbury's family were absent, his resi-
dence. situated on the Snydersburg road,
about two miles from Manchester, was enter
ed, and 90 dollars in money and pair OF
gentlemen's new kid gloves carried away.
The entrance to the house is supposed to have
been made by unlocking the kitchen door.
The shutter at the kitchen window was cut
and window pane broken, but upon exami-
nation it was discovered that the shutter was
cut when open, as it could not have been cut
in the manner it was when closed. The theory
is that the door was opened by some party
having KEY to fit the lock, and the cutting
done to lead to the belief that an entrance
was effected through the window. Desks,
drawers and chests which the family left
locked were found open in the evening, and
Mr.. Stansbury' revolver was carried from his
bed room in the lower part of the house, with
two cartridges extracted. There is no clue.

Crops are growing finely. Harvesting is in
full blast, and by to-day many will be done
cutting. Our town was thrown into quite a
commotion Wednesday by the announcement
of wedding All was excitement among the
youngsters in making preparations for having
q grand serenade; they procured all manner
of horns, kettles and every conceivable thing
to make noise, even getting large store
box and plenty of resin, scantling 16 feet
long as a bow, and made, as they term it, a
horse fiddle For noise it surely excelled all
others. The happy parties were Mr.. Alfred
Edmonson and Miss Josephine Brothers, of
this place.

Last Sunday we received another very fine
rain, with but little storm, and doing no
damage.
Farmers are very busily engaged harvesting
their wheat crop, which seems to be fair
one considering the chance it had since
spring.
Monday night some one stole from Mr..
Burgess n. Williams barn his wagon saddle,
riding bride, and his son Ephraim's riding
horse The circumstance has created con-

and it would not be good for the thief to re-
turn here again if found out The animal
stolen is a sorrel mare with a white star IN
her forehead and wound knot on one OF her
hind legs The animal is of fine build and
good proportions. Mr.. Williams says he has
refused $500 for her time and again. Mr..
Williams found in his lane, near the gate
through which the mare was taken, on Tues
day morning, note containing the following
words: "Come to Hanover or Gettysburg to-
day at IL O. clock and you will get your horse.
Come at IL o'clock. This no humbug, but
truth. | am tired" Mr. Williams brought
the note to Mr.. A. j. Easton's, where its
writing was compared with forged order
which Mr. Easton had received from a man
by the name of Charles johnson, who has
been staying at Mr.. Henry Wagoner's for
several months, off and on. The writing
corresponds so exactly as to shape of letters
and make of words, that Mr.. Williams is GER
tain he had something to do with the stealing;
furthermore, this Mr.. johnson, it is believed,
has left the neighborhood since Sunday. Mr..

Patapsco Items.

A mineral or medicinal spring of fine quality
has been discovered on the farm of Mr.. Chas.
TAYLOR, about three-quarters of a mile west OF
Patapsco and directly on the line of the Wes-
tern MARYLAND Railroad. 1t has been par
tally analysed by one of the best analytical
professors and found to be entirely free from
organic impurities and to contain l .33 grains
of mineral water per gallon; showing, there
fore, double the mineral qualities of the Raw
ley Springs in Virginia, more than the Berkely
Springs, and being second only to the cele-
brated Sweet Chalybeate Springs of Virginia.
The vicinity of Patapsco has long been cele-
brated for romantic scenery, pure water and
good health, and if to its present advantages
medicinal springs are added, the day cannot
be far distant when Patapsco will be sought
for as a resort, not only by the hale, but
especially by the invalid Its railroad facili-
ties and close proximity to the city certainly
give it advantages that should be looked after
and utilized.
Wheat harvest began in this section on the
Both ultimo, and continued until the 9th or
10th of July. The crop is light, although the
wheat is generally well filled and OF good
quality.
Frank Shamer, of Patapsco, who has been
employed at the Schlosser Tannery, had on
last Tuesday narrow escape from being
killed In running cars back to the sheds he
was caught by one of them and severely
mashed and bruised. After being extricated,
however, he soon regained consciousness and
is doing well.
We learn that John H. Allgire lost valu-
