A Fight at Colored Church.-At Union
Chapel, situated in the upper end of the 10th dis
trict fight took place few Sundays ago, which
was a very disgraceful affair. A correspondent
gives us few particulars: The fight started be-
tween two colored girls and before it was concu-
ded, nearly the whole congregation become in
volved in the scufile. The superintendent of the
Sabbath school. being female, did what she
could in her feeble way to quell the disturbance,
made use of much profanity, and Squire Wiers
being appraised of what had taken place, had the
guilty ones arrested and fined them heavily for
their unbecoming behavior. If he had sent them
to Towsontown Jail it would have served them
right.

Western Run Valley, 9Th District.-Not-
withstanding the extreme heat of last week, our
farmers pushed their work with vigor, not to be
exceeded by our brother farmers of other neigh
borhoods.
We are remote from railroads and the telegraph
the distance being about seven miles east or
west, yet we have daily mail and are better
posted on current topics than some would suppose.
The tax gatherer and politician can locate and
find us at any time. Democratic politicians are
looming up in all directions. Indeed some Of
them are so remote that the political telescope
has failed to reach them.
Many of our farmers purchased self binding
harvesters this season, and the machines gave
great satisfaction. Among the purchasers was
Mr.. Joshua Merryman, and to fully test his, he
upset once or twice. but the CDR escaped without
injury, and the machine stood the test well.
Folks from the city are vending their way in
this direction, there being many in the neighbOr-
hood now, with more to follow, 1 understand
Owing to the late season, the proverbial spring
chicken is scarce and high.
Mr.. Aquila Chilcoat recently lost calf, and
judging from the position in which it lay, the sup
position is that it was killed by lightning, as no
other reason could be assigned.
We have not heard lately from your correspon-
dent, Gussie Sunlight. We think she might write
weekly from that charming little village of Glyn-
don.
Rev. Joel Brown preached at Dover church on
Sunday last to large congregation.
Miss B. Ensor, daughter of Mr.. Joshua Ensor,
of South Carolina, has been spending some time
at Mr.. j. M. Fowble's and is so pleased with this
part of the country that she invited her sister to
come on and they are now together. Miss Ensor
is much pleased with the climate of Maryland,
and would much prefer living here than so far

The Tramp Nuisance.-An exchange says
the tramps are said to be multiplying rapidly
throughout the country since the harvest has been
gathered. They appear in large companies and
annoy the farmers to such an extent as to give
them great deal of trouble. Travelling in squads,
they present the appearance of having an organ
lied system of communicating, which enables
them to inform their followers to where to stop
in order to get food, clothing, money, etc., with
the best chances of success. They soon learn the
nom givers, and after few decided rebuffs, give
such wide berth. This shows that the most
effective way of getting rid of them is to refuse
them assistance of any kind.

How to Weigh Them.-A silver dollar
weighs very nearly an ounce. Hence any letter
not heavier than the dollar can go for single
two-cent stamp. This is easily remembered. If
you want to be more exact, take silver dollar
and silver fve-cent piece, and you have an
haven't the silver dollar handy, take two halves,
or if you have nickles only, five of them and a
small copper cent will give you very nearly an
ounce. As ninety nine letters out of a hundred
will fall within the ounce weight, this simple sys-
TEN will serve fer general use.

Sale Set Aside.-The Belair Times says
Judge Waters has heard argument on the obec-
ton to the ratification of the sale Of the Rogers
CLONE Place." by Mr.. Robert Archer, trustee, to
Mr.. Isaac Livezey. The place contains 3S2 acres,
with the mansion house and other improvements,
and was sold at private sale for $40 an acre
$3.50. Half of the land is of little value, but
the remainder is very fine. After the agreement
had been made between the trustee and Mr.. Liv-
ezey q higher price was offered by Baltimore
gentleman, and the facts were reported to the
Court by the trustee. Miss Grace S. Rogers,
major daughter of the late E. Stanley Rogers, by
her counsel Hon. II. W. Archer, filed an objection
to the Courts ratification of the sale, on the
ground of inadequacy of consideration, and after
argument by Mr.. Archer in support of the objec-
ton and by Mr.. VIM. Young for Mr.. Livezey in
favor of confirming the sale, the Judge set aside
the sale for the reason given in the objection.

The American Hog Still at Home.-An
exchange very truthfully remarks that the Ameri-
can hog, which engrossed so much attention abroad
some time ago, is at home now and ON his sum-
mer travels. We do not refer to the kind classed
as freight and transported in the cattle car, but
the sort that infest passenger trains, who grab
several seats apiece on the shady side on which
to deposit their bags, wraps and traps. These,
however, might grace the cattle cars by their con-
duct. You may recognize the animal by his
spreading himself over two, three or four seats
with his light luggage and sometimes his legs
and by the way he grunts "that seats engaged"
