Fruits and Flowers.

In response to the solicitation in last week S
Advocate for fruit and flowers for the Flower
Mission of Baltimore, some seventeen con-
tributions were sent to this office on Thurs
day afternoon. The donations embraced
peaches, pears, grapes and flowers. The
fruit filed two boxes, and the flowers filled
one very large one, the whole making do
nation that will delight the eyes, gladden. the
hearts, and tempt the appetites of the invalid
poor that are ministered to by the charitable
ladies composing the Baltimore Flower Mis-
sion.
As both fruit and flowers are getting scarce
we shall not tax the generosity of the ladies
by soliciting either after next week. We
should like to forward donations once more,
and we would ask, in the name of the Flower
Mission, the ladies to make one more effort
next Thursday afternoon. Let them send
what they can conveniently spare either of
flowers or fruits, no matter how small the
contribution. When put together they will
make large donation, and will be so accep-
table to the suffering sick who are not able to
provide for themselves.
The contributors this week were Mrs. D.
S. Segafoose and Mrs. O. NJ. Hiteshew, of
Uniontown; and the following in and near
this city-Miss Lizzie Lockard, Mrs. Joshua
Stevenson, Miss Lottie Moore, Mrs. VIM. A.
Cunning ham, Miss Mary B. Shellman, MISS
Josephine B. Lambert Mrs. Jas A. c. Bond,
Miss Emma Reese, Miss Annie Cassell, Mrs
E. c. Fowler, Mr.. Frank Noel and the little
Misses Louisa and Stella Lynch. Two dona-
tons were sent from unknown parties.
From the Baltimore american Of yesterday:
The work of the Flower Mission will be con-
tinued throughout this and next month at the
usual place Of meeting, Grace Church Chapel,
on Friday mornings. Last week the Aged
Mems Home, the Aged Women's Home, the
Church Home, the Home for Incurables, the

Rev. Mr. Miller, the Lutheran pastor, met
the ladies ofour vicinity on Thursday evening,
at Mrs. John Bahn's house, to discuss the
subject of starting home missionary society.
Whether they have accomplished the object
in view we are unable to say.
The communion services of the Lutheran
and Reformed churches will take place in
four weeks. The services of the Lutheran
will be held in the morning at 10 clock, and
| of the Reformed in the evening at o'clock.
The potato crop in general is small but the
potatoes are of good size.
Seeding is about over with our farmers, and
/ they have turned their attention to cutting
corn Quite number of fields are already cut.
| On "Wednesday morning about s o clock,
while every person was busy working at H.
| F. Hoffacker's canning factory, fire broke out
at the fre-pots from the gasoline, which set
| the entire building on fire in so short a time
that they were unable to rescue any goods
whatever. The hands dinner buckets, bon
nets, hats, &C., were all burned, in connec-
ton with 500 cases of canned fruit, principal
I " tomatoes, and about 10, $50 empty cans,
including the cases, and 40 bushels of toma-
toes. The machinery is injured to such an
extent that it is unfit for future use. Mr..
Hoffacker was slightly burned around the
face, but his hands and arms were so badly
burned that he is unable to use them. A.
Prosser was also burned about the head, but
not seriously. Mr.. Hoffacker expects to re-
build it at once and be ready for work by
next week The loss is estimated at $500.
The members of the Evangelical Church
expect to put bell on their church.
The new public road that the Northern Cen
trail Railroad Company are making, in ex-
change for the old one upon which they are
building their new warehouse, is quite unsat-
isfactory to the citizens on account of its
crookedness and improper position. The
Town Council is not paying any attention to
the beauty of our town in regard to how it
should be properly laid out. To have streets
meet alleys directly is preposterous, when we
have better opportunities.

Since our last letter TIE weather has been
all that could be desired, and our farmers are
making good use of every moment. Wheat
seeding is in full blast; many are done sowing
both rye and wheat.
Some few have commenced cutting off corn.
The corn crop is good, generally speaking,
but the potato cropis not so good as it prom
Used to be and was expected earlier in the
season.
Should the frost stay away until the 10th of
October, in order to give the late buckwheat
chance to mature, there will certainly be an
abundant crop in this section. The early
sown is very full and nearly ripe for harvest.
Last Monday Mr.. James Bowers, son of
Sebastian Bowers, residing near here, had a
very narrow escape from being killed. While
working in the barn, James was reaching to
take fork from his nephew, who was in the
wheat NOW over the barn floor, when by ac-
cident another fork, which was in the same
NOW, was knocked down prong foremost.
The fork struck Mr.. Bowers upon the right
shoulder and the front prong ran in about
four inches and stuck fast until removed by
his father, who had to make the third trial to
extricate it. The wounds caused by the other
prongs were not so great. We learn that Mr..
Bowers is doing well under the medical treat
ment of DIR. Joseph Herring, of Westminster.

wooden wedding.

Reported for the Democratic Advocated
Tuesday evening, Sept. 10Th, was the fifth,
or Wooden Wedding, anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. D. Gilbert, this city, and a pleasant
evening was spent by number of friends at
the residence of her mother, Mrs. Bowers, in
celebration of the event. The house was taste.
fully decorated with flowers and vines, and
the sweet music of the Italians, who are so
well known in this community, and who,
from cozy corner in the yard, sent forth
their enlivening strains, added greatly to the
occasion. Miss Norma Gilbert was the little
belle of the evening, and won all hearts by
her loving and bright greetings to each one.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert were the recipients OF a
number of handsome and useful articles in
wood including pictures, wall pockets, Japa-
nese work. &c. Games were heartily enjoy
ed by every one, until eleven o'clock, when
the guests repaired to the dining room, where
every delicacy was prepared for them. AT
twelve o'clock all returned to their homes
having spent an evening of unalloyed pleasure
beneath a most hospitable roof, and with
the hope that their kind host and hostess may
enjoy many more such pleasant anniversa-
rios

Young enid snatched from Death.

Harrisburg, Pa, Telegram, Sept. Is.
SIN the family of VIM. A. Golden, of No.
l136 Market street, were up to yesterday noon
two interesting little girls, Genevieve NJ. &,
aged years, and Gertrude j., aged 10 months.
The last named died yesterday afternoon, and
the immediate cause of the child's death was
cerebro- meningitis. While the family were
standing around the cot of the little sufferer,
little Genevieve, the faxen- haired prattler,
was forgotten. The child had gone into the
sitting room, and while playing got hold Of a
bottle of choral, and drank probably half
pint of the narcotic before the fact was dis
covered after a lapse of two hours. DIR.
Rahter was Immediately summoned, who ad-
ministered an emetic and the usual remedies
resorted to in such cases. The child was led
about and exercised, in order to keep it awake
for four or five hours. When the father
brought the little girl to the city last evening,
in order to keep it awake and to exercise it,
it still showed symptoms of the effects of the
drug. DIR. Rahter stated that the case is a re-
markable one, and that had the child been
discovered twenty minutes later, when in a
comatose state, no earthly power could have
saved it. The affair caused considerable ex-
element on the hill, and great sympathy was
expressed for the family
Mr.. Goulden and family formerly lived IN
Taneytown, and the deceased child was in
tered in St. Joseph's cemetery there on
Monday at clock, p. m.

Now Windsor I,e,ns.

Generally after a storm followsa calm. In
previous weeks las already reported in the
ADVOCATE a number of dancing parties and
festivals were held in Norris pavilion, but
last week only one party took place, and that
was the annual picnic of the young people of
the neighborhood, on Thursday, commencing
at noon Owing to the inclemency of the
weather the attendance in the afternoon was
very slim, but at night the pavilion began to
fill up to a goodly number and dancing was
kept up until midnight.
The boarding season is on the wane, most
all the boarders at the college and partly at
the hotel having returned to their respective
homes, and the town has assumed its usual
quietness.
The Sunday school picnic at Winters
church will take place on Saturday, the 26th.
Ice cream, cakes and other delicacies will be
furnished on the ground adjacent to the
church for the benefit of the school, The
Uniontown band will be present to enliven
the occasion.
Corn cutting will commence next week.
