ect on the part of county police in that section to

The State Treasurership.- Sunday
american, referring to Hon. Barnes Compton
retirement from the State Treasurership, says ::
"Three gentlemen are waiting to step into Mr..
Comptons shoes. They are Mr.. 0uterbridge
Horsey, of Frederick Mr.. Ridgely Goodwin and
Mr.. John S. Cuttings, of Baltimore county. Mr..
Horsey, it will be remembered, has stood we'll
with the state politicians until very recently and,
four years ago, when it was believed that Senator
German would resign the presidency of the canal
upon becoming United States Senator, he was
mentioned for the presidency of the canal. Mr..
Cuttings however, appears at present to have the
friendship of those who are nearest to Governor
McLane, and there are indications that he will be
appointed when the vacancy is to be filed Mr..
Cuttings openly states that he is candidate for
the office; that, though defeated year ago, he
proposes to try again and again until he is elected
that he is candidate for the office before the
Governor and that whether he is successful or not
next March, he will be candidate for the Office
again at the next session of the Legislature. Mr..
Cuttings evidently knows what he wants, and is
not ashamed to ask for it. He does not hesitate
to say that he wants it because he thinks he may
do the State service in that capacity and
make his occupancy of it crcditable to himself
and beneficial to the State. Mr.. Cuttings is a
banker, and it will be remembered, was chairman
of the Committee on Ways and Means of the Leg
islature of 1882"

Arlington, Sd DISTINGUISHING read with
interest the accounts which your numerous cor
respondents furnished of the Christmas ceebra-
tons in their respective districts, we conclude
that few notes concerning the festival of our
village might be acceptable. December Goth was
the time appointed by the members of McKen-
dree NJ. E. Sunday school to hold their entertain
ment, and by o'clock, quite large audience
had assembled. The programme consisted of
music, recitations and responsive readings by the
school. The musical selections beautiful
and were creditably rendered. Miss Hartzell of
Baltimore, presided at the organ and Rev. James
E. ingram led the singing. The pastor, Rev. W.
A. Koontz, made happy little speech, and Mary
Koontz, little miss of tender years, gave q reci-
taton in most pleasant manner. Miss Ella
McElfresh sang solo; Miss Bessie Allen rected
"The night before Christmas" at the close of
which sharp whistle was heard outside and a
shrill, quavering voice inquired if that was No
Kendree church. The door opened to ad-
NIT no less honored parsonage than Santa
Claus, who, dressed in his fur trimmed suit, his
long, white beard flowing, amused the children
greatly. The character of Santa Claus was finely
impersonated by Mr.. w. Atkinson. The super
intendent, Mr.. J. Stansbury, presented lin behalf
of Mr.. Buckingham handsome book, which
was offered as prize some time ago to the one
bringing the largest number of new scholars into
the school, The church beautifully decora-
ted for the occasion. Tonight "wednesday, H.
Clay Preuss, Esq, is to give poetic and dramatic
recitations at Pikesvie, the proceeds for benefit
of citizen of this place.

Valuable Horse Injured.
favorite and very fine driving horse belonging to
Mr. H. L. Bowen, real estate and insurance agent,
of this place, met with an accident on Friday
evening of last week which will lay him up for
a long time, if not permanently. The cclored
hostler had two horses out for exercise riding
and leading "Musketeer" The latter, being full
of play, reared up and when he came down one of
his fore feet became fastened in the frozen ground
and sudden wrench broke both bones of the leg
near the pastern joint. DR.. Franklin, q Baltimore
veterinary surgeon, was telephoned for and came
out at night and placed the leg in plaster of paris
and splints, and has hopes that the animal may
be saved. "Musketeer" was raised by Col. Gist
T. Cockey, of Cockeysvile, and having run away
with buggy when he was colt he was used
thereafter exclusively as saddle horse, in which
capacity he had few if any superiors. a few years
ago Mr. Bowen traded for the horse and it was not
long before he had him working in harness and
previous to the accident there was not a more re-
liable or pleasant driving horse in the county
perfectly fearless of thing and long dis
lance roadster he was -eminenty without
rival. Mr.. Bowen says this animal travelled more
miles last year than any other horse in the State
and no road was too long for him. He could do his
fifty or sixty miles day and come back to his
stable at night apparently as fresh as when he
left it in the morning. All who know the horse
we do earnestly hope that he may get over the
accident all right.
