The Baltimore County Union, Published at
Towson, undertakes to criticise an article in
the ADVOCATE of two weeks ago, in reference
to some Maryland appointments The Union
failed to.eomprehend the ADVOCATES mean
ing. We write good English, but cannot give
people brains to understand. The ADVOCATE
stated distinctly that it was disposed to look
over political sins, for men, from one cause
or another, are liable to err and go estray, but
we protested that Maryland independents and
party boilers had received far too much re-
cognition at the hands of the Administration.

Peach growers agree that the earliest va
rieties Of peaches are the poorest, and eearee-
ly worth the attention of buyers. The Beat
rice, Hale's Early, Amsdens June, and Early
Alexander, seldom or never mature, and
when they do they are small and of very poor
flavor. Their production is unsatisfactory to
the grower, and they are more unsatisfactory
to the buyer. No good result, therefore,
comes from the culture of the early peach.

in the vicinity of Wolfsyille, came into pos.
session Of litter of pigs, one of which had
solid coat Of black bristles, with slight ex-
ception. The exception was in the form OF a
single spot of white bristles upon the body of
the pig. The spot grew in prominence and
size as the pig matured, and more perfect
letter ''C'' could not have been formed by
draughtsman, it is stated, than that formed
by nature on the body of this pig. In time
the Democratic National Convention nomi
mated Grover Cleveland as the candidate fog
President. 1t was then that this pig became
o treasure to its owner, who accepted the
mark upon its back as an omen OF coming re-
suits. Election time came and with it the
announcement of Cleveland's election to the
Presidency. The pig then was treasure,
indeed, to its owner, who became so fond of
his pet that he had not the heart to slaughter
it with the balance of the family Of porkers.
Howard Cooper, who brutally beat and
ravished Miss Gray, near Pikesvllle, Baltl-
more county, was taken from the Towson jail
shortly after u O. clock last Sunday night by
large body of masked and armed men, and
hung to tree near the Jail. Cooper was to
baye Leeg hung the 31st of this month. lie
was tried in AaltimGpe city, to which place
his case was removed, and was eGnyHatsd,
During the trial Miss Gray was subjected to
the humiliation of detailing the incidents of
the assault. The case was taken to the Court
of Appeals, where the rulings of the Court
below were sustained. Gov. Lloyd fixed the
day of exeo4tion, and Cooper was removed to
Towson There he would have been per
mitted to remain until executed according TO
law, but his lawyers were about to take an
appeal to the United States Supreme Court,
to defray the expenses of which, subscriptions
were being taken up among colored lodges
and societies, and a circular soliciting aid,
sjgned by six colored ministers, was being
circulated generally. The United States
Supreme Court, had it sustained the views of
his attorneys, could only have sent the case
back for retrial, and Miss Gray's neighbors
and friends did not intend that she should
again be subjected to the modification of de-
failing the revolving circumstances ofCooper's
assault
