The days are colder growing,

The beauty of the Indian summers ded, fed, fled
The tramps are disappearing,
The time for snow is nearing,
The little boy is fixing up his sled, sled, sled
The livery stock of the Park Stables was
sold at public sale last Saturday, by Messrs. Sec
muller 4 Co., auctioneers. Among the purchas-
ers Of horses were Messrs. Ill. E. Bartleson and
VIM. Jenkins, of Long Green Valley, and Mr.. w.
P. Marks, of Waverly. The prices obtained we're
low.
"A number of farmers and others in Long
Green Valley have lost all their hogs from chole-
ra. Among the heaviest losers are Messrs. Sam'l
S. Patterson and George W. Yellott With pleuro-
pneumonia among the cattle and cholera among
the hogs some of our farmers have sustained
heavy losses
The claim of the Government against the
Bayview Brewery Company, for violating the in
ternal revenue laws, has been compromised by
the latter paying $1,2I4. The company has
been issuing casks of beer purporting to contain
a half barrel, when in reality they did not con-
tain near SO much
The morning mail for Gainesville does not
reach there until nearly 10 o'clock and naturally
the people are very indignant. This is owing to
change of the Short-Line schedule, and the road,
being controlled by the Pennsylvania Company,
the stockholders have no power to remedy the
defect. There is talk of going back to the old
plan of transporting the mails by wagon.
last was followed Monday night by the first snow
of the season, which covered the ground to the
depth of at least an inch, and had the earth been
dry it would have been more than two inches
deep. Some little folks were out early on Tues
day morning with their sleds, but their sport was
short-lived, the snow rapidly disappearing.
Mr.. Thomas C. Bussey, of Texas, Sth dis
trict has been appointed substitute clerk in the
Baltimore postOfice. He passed the civil service
examination last July and his name was upon
the list of eligibles. He is brother of DR.. Bus

--Harford county has four patients at Spring
Grove AMI one at Mount Hope and the cost of
each is $3.50 year. A committee was lately sent
by the Commissioners of that county to examine
into the condition of those unfortunate people and
the committee recommends that these five, who
are not under medical treatment, be removed to
the Hartford alms-house, where they can be pro-
vided for at about half the cost
james d. Bitter, deaf mute, who halls
from the 4th district, tried here last week
der an indictment charging him with stealing
horse from Maj. James Lyon. He was convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary for year.
The sentence was made light through the inter-
cession of Maj. Lyon. Mr.. John Conner, of Tow
sontown, acted interpreter for Bitter, and gave
the sign language with his hands.
ness men of the Belt, having leased the fine dou
bic houses on the northeast corner of Boundary
avenue and Charles street avenue, are having
them thoroughly renovated and improved prepar-
atory to opening hotel and frst-class restau-
rant. Something of this sort has been greatly
needed in that rapidly improving section, and the
Messrs. Ditch, being active and wide-awake bust
ness men, there can be no doubt but what they
will succeed.
Mr.. ohm B. Roe who has been postmaster
at Forest Hill, Maryland Central railroad, for the
past twenty five years, was removed few days
ago and George jeffrey was appointed in his place.
Mr.. Roe keeps large country store at the station,
while the new appointee, who is shoemaker, lives
about 200 yards distant and his house can only
be reached by travelling terribly muddy road.
The people of the neighborhood are highly indig-
nant at the change, and the chances that Mr..
jeffrey will not have very pleasant time with
his new honors.
Mr.. August Dumer, who was until recently
postmaster at Fullerton, Belair road, enlisted in
the artillery service of the regular army in 1860.
He served seven years and was with the Army of
the Potomac during nearly the whole war of the
rebellion. He participated in fifty three general
engagements, besides any number of skimishes,
and the only wound he received was slight one
on the wrist. At the battle of Gettysburg his
battery almost entirely annihilated, one shot
having killed three of the four horses attached to
his gun. Mr.. Dumer is good citizen and an in
dustrious man.
Mr.. J. Morris Orem was married at EN-
manuel P. E. Church, Baltimore, on Tuesday
morning last, to Miss E. Adele Shepherd, of Cam
bridge, Md. There were cards issued to the
wedding, but the attendance of relatives and in
innate friends was quite large. Mr.. Charles W.
Orem, the groom's brother, was best man, and
Messrs. VIM. T. Norris and Howard T. Williams
acted as ushers. After the ceremony the young
couple left for the North on an extended we'd
ding tour. When they return they will make
their home at "Auchentoroly," the residence of
the groom's father, adjoining Druid Hill Park.
1t has now been definitely settled that Mr..
Charles E. Fendall, of Towsontown, will be the
Equity Clerk under John w. Shanklin, Esq, the
newly elected Clerk of the Circuit Court. This
position has been efficiently filled for the last
eighteen years by R. Edwin Hook, who now re-
tires. Mr.. Fendall is lawyer by profession and
is well and favorably known, once having repre-
sented the county in the Legislature. He had
no idea of applying for place until urged to do
so, and even then reluctantly entered into the
contest. He is a most afable gentleman, an earn
est and active Democrat, and will make very
popular official.
