Postoface Wanted.-Hon. Frank T. Shaw,
says the Belair Ngis, has fled at the Postofice
Department, Washington, request of citizens of
Hartford county for new postofice at ShawsvlIe.
1t is stated that before the war postofice was
located at the place named, but it was discon-
tinued and an Office opened at Black Horse.
Since the discontnuance of the office at Shaws-
vile many of the persons who received their mail
at that place have had their mail matter directed
to White Hall, on the Northern Central Railroad
from which point it has been carried at their own
expense to Shawsville. 1t is also stated that as
no increased expeneS will be incurred by tie de-
partment for carrying the mail, Shawsville being
directly a mail route, the request will probably
be granted.

They Must Pay All Expenses.-In the
trust estate of George Freshman, Judge Fowler
has decided that Cumberland G. Dugan and Dwight
E. Lyman, as trustees of the estate, must pay all
the COSTS expenses and fee arising out of recent
proceeding on their part to foreclose mortgage
held by them. The mortgage had been made for
term of five years to expire in June, 1888, and
for 1000, interest being payable quarterly.
1t was secured on the property, on Charles
street avenue, of the late DR.. George Merryman.
A few days after DR.. Merryman's death, and
before his executors had qualified, an interest
note for $3.50 matured, for which the executors,
upon ascertaining that it was past DUE rendered
the money. The Freshman trustees, however,
demanded payment of the whole principal. The
mortgaged property was advertised by Cumberland
c. Dugan, attorney for the trustees at foreclosure
sale for December LIST. DR.. Merryman's execu-
tors then, by Schumacher & Whitelock, their solic-
itors, filed a petition in the trust estate case,
where the order for the mortgage investment had
been originally passed, asking for a withdrawal
of the sale upon payment of the interest. This
was granted by Judge Fowler on the 2Sth of
November at the first hearing, but the question
of expenses, which the answer of the trustees
claimed that the Merrymans must pay, was then
reserved. The court, after argument, now COM
pels the Freshman trustees to bear the fee, costs
and expenses incident to the foreclosure proceed
ing, and holds that DR.. Merryman's estate is not
liable for them

Slight Fire.-A house occupied by Mrs. Ellen
T. Walker, on Sweet Air hill, Woodbury., was
slightly damaged by fire Tuesday afternoon.
The prompt arrival of the county fire department
prevented what might have been serious confa-
grafton. The house is owned by Mrs. William
Club, of Waverly, and is insured in the Balti-
more county company.

He Abated the Nuisance.

A Lancaster county (Pa.) school teacher has
discovered an effective way of abating nuisances
prejudicial to public health. An offensive build
ing was located very close to the school house
and after vain efforts to have it removed farther
off the pedagogue waited one night till everybody
had gone away and then blew it up with dyna-
mite.

Beautify the Farm.-The Maryland Farmer
says "Make your rural home beautiful. Lay
out spacious grounds about the farm house, plant
shade trees lay graveled roads and plant flowers.
Don't lay up all your earnings for the benefit of
your heirs and the lawyers, but spend some of it
in Identifying your home. The farmer who al
ways shuts his eyes to the aesthetic features of
this life and screws himself down to the task of
making money, loses large portion and the big
gest portion too, of his existence. His home
should be attractive to himself, to his wife, and
above all to his children. Unpleasant homes in
too many instances drive the sons of farmers to
the towns, to excitement and dissipation, and to
wreck. Such sons do not generally leave pleas
ant and beautiful homes"

$1,000 Damages.-The case of James Lee
and wife, colored, against William Douglass,
removed from Baltimore county, which was on
trial in the Baltimore City Court for several days,
was concluded on Tuesday and resulted in a YER
dict for the plaintiffs for $1,000 damages. The
parties to the suit lived adjoining each other in
Baltimore county, and Lees son, aged IL years,
was trespassing upon Mr.. Douglass property
gathering cherries. Douglass caught the boy,
and the mother hearing his cries, went to his as
sistance. 1t was in evidence that Douglass then
struck the women on the head, causing serious
injury to her. A suit was brought for damages,
with the result above stated.

Trouble About the Jail Fuel.-The pres
ent Board of County Commissioners has changed
a long established custom by requiring the coun-
ty officials in the Court House to furnish the fuel
for their respective offices, which was heretofore
furnished by the Board. The new order of things
seems to be sanctioned by law so far at least.
But the Board also required the Sheriff to provide
coal, &C., to heat the Jail for the benefit of the
prisoners This the Sheriff has refused to do,
holding that it is the duty of the Board to pro-
vide fuel for the purpose, as has always been the
case. On Sunday last Mrs. Crane and Mrs. VIM.
S. Keech, two among our most highly respected
ladies, visited the prisoners in Jail Gas they and
other ladies have habitually done from time to
time, especially Sundays, for the purpose of prof
fering spiritual and material aid and comfort to
the inmates), and on their return they reported
that the prison portion of the building was not
heated at all, and that the prisoners complained
of having suffered greatly from the cold during
the recent cold weather. The ladies were very
indignant and there is but one sentiment among
all classes in the community, and that is that it
is shameful to subject the prisoners to such suf
fering as they must undergo during the cold
weather without any fire. Upon whomsoever the
duty may devove, the Sheriff and Commissioners
are both catching the blame, as it is thought the
question could ultimately be determined and the
responsibility fixed by the courts, no matter who
furnishes the fuel in the first instance.
1t may be stated that article SS, section 81,
Code of Public General Laws, requires the Sheriff
to provide food, board and such medicine and
other articles for the comfort of sick prisoners
the physician may prescribe, "the expense of
which shall be paid by the county or city;" but
nothing is here said about fuel. It may be that
there is some provision elsewhere in subsequent
acts on this point.

The COLUMBIA BICYCLE CALENDAR FOR 1885,
A truly artistic and elegant work in chromo-lith-
graphy and the letter press is the Columbia BIZ
cycle Calendar for 1886, just issued by the Pope
Manufacturing Company, of Boston. Each day
of the year appears upon separate slip, with a
quotation pertaining to cycling from leading pub
locations and prominent personages. The notable
cycling events are given; and concise opinions of
the highest medical authorities; words from prac-
teal wheelmen, including clergymen and other
professional gentlemen; the rights of cyclers upon
the roads, general wheeling statistics; the bene-
fits of tricycling for ladies extracts from cycling
poems and much other interesting information.
In fact, it is, in miniature, virtual encyclop@-
dia upon this universally utilized 'seed of steel"
The calendar proper is mounted upon back of
heavy board, upon which is exquistely executed,
in water color effect, by G. H. Buck, of New York,
a charming combination of cycling scenes. As a
work of convenient art, it is worthy of place in
Office, library or parlor.

Tndustr,al Rrotherhood.-Two

Industrial ENTHUSIASTICALLY weeks ago
we stated that Mr.. Henry c. Turnbull, Jr., who
takes an active interest in the welfare Of the col
ored people, was about organizing an industrial
school among them here. The work has pro-
crossed so far that permanent organization has
been effected, with William Smith, an industrious
colored man, as president The class, which is
called "The Industrial Brotherhood" now num-
bers about forty members, who meet once a week
to receive instructions in light trades, such as
Gaming chairs, mattrass and mat making, broom
making, &c. The services of teacher from the
Maryland Blind Asylum have been secured, and
the necessary tools, benches, &C., are to be pur-
chased from funds raised by outside contributions.
The members required to pay for the material
they use and whatever profit they make on their
wares goes to them. This is most commend
able work and it is hoped that Mr.. Turnbull, who
has no interest except to assist colored men and
boys in learning light trades and acquiring habits
of industry, will receive proper encouragement in
his undertaking.

A Sad Picture of Old Ace.

A Sad Picture of Old Age.-John Shilling
who was for many years an industrious wheel
wright in Towsontown, having grown old and
feeble, was obliged to give up work few years
ago. He was member of an Odd Fellows Lodge
in the city and was made comfortable by the
weekly dues he received from it. But as he was
no longer able to take care of himself it was
thought best to send him to the home Of the
Little Sisters of the Poor, most worthy institu-
tion, in charge of the Sisters, situated on John
street, Baltimore, to which the decrepit old man
was taken Monday. Mr.. Shilling's wife died
several years ago and he was left entirely alone,
although he had kind friends who looked after
his wants. 1t was sad sight to see the great
tears roll down his furrowed cheeks when he
found that he was obliged to give up the home
which he had worked hard to secure foI 1s-<DI
and his departed helpmeet. But it is gratifca-
ton to know that he will be made comfortable
for the balance of his days in the charitable
home to which he has been sent The old man
is far past the allotted time of life and having
kindred to care for him, he was sent where he
will be kindly treated and where the rough places
in his road to the grave will be smoothed by the
kind and gentle hands of the self denying Sisters
who conduct the institution.

A D;etrassinu Accida,

A Distressing Accident.-As Miss Rachel
e. Prill, vice principal of the Woodbury. public
school, was on her way to school, on Wednesday
of last week, she stumbled hard piece of earth
and fell heavily to the ground causing fracture
of the bone above the knee. She is doing as well
as can be expected under the skilful treatment of
DR.. Tiffany, who reduced the fracture. The acct
dent is universally regretted by the citizens of
Woodberry, where Miss Prill is most highly
esteemed.

slight one. William Nelson was Waterman at the

Killed on the Northern Central.-0n
Tuesday night last two men, named Christopher
Walker and james Sheridan, were walking on
the Northern Central Railroad, near Phoenix, and
in stepping from track to another to avoid
an approaching train, they struck by an
engine coming in the opposite direction. Walker
was instantly killed and Sheridan was very seri-
ously injured. He was taken to the hospital in
the city. Justice Mitchell summoned jury of
inquest, on Wednesday morning, in the case of
Walker, who returned a verdict of accidental
death, and generating the railroad company from
all blame.

A Farmers Cure for Cholera.-An old
farmer friend of ours, while paying us visit
few days ago, said that he had cured his hogs of
cholera by giving them soft soap and wheat flour,
half teacup full of each given to each hog in their
feed twice day. If the animals refused to eat
the mixture in their feed he would drench them
with it. He also said a drench of liquid camphor
would cure pink-eye in horses. He had tried the
latter remedy with the most satisfactory results.

- DIED OF GREENs.-A nine-months old child of
George Latta, of Poughkeepsie, was perfectly
we'll Tuesday noon, and was dead Thursday morn
ing. The case is remarkable only in the ignorance
admitted The mother had eaten greens for dinner,
and afterwards nursed the child. Soon collie set
in, succeeded by fatulency, raising sour curd and
loose bowels which terminated in death. Most
of infant sickness is caused by unassimilating
food like cabbage, greens and rich pastries, eaten
by nursing mothers. In such cases assimilat-
ing medicine like Castoria-if there be anything
like it-should be given. We have known many
cases with symptoms such those of the Latta child
when dose or two of Castora set the child at
play in few hours. Ignorance of this panacea
for children, has made many little mounds in
grave yards. The time lost in sending for a
DOCTOR is sufficient reason for always having this
infallible remedy in every house.-HaNs journal
