Illness of an Old Soldier.-Mr. James H.
Boyd, who for many years lived in Towsontown
and was wellknown carpenter, is now very sick
at his home in Baltimore, having been confined
to his house for nearly two years. He lis suffering
from consumption, resulting from exposure dur
ing the war of the rebellion, through which he
served in the 18th Maryland Union Regiment
For some years he has been trying to secure a
pension from the Government, but up to this time
his efforts have proved unsuccessful, although his
is evidently case that should be favorably acted
upon. This week Mr.. Boyd sent us three old
newspapers, for which we return thanks. One is
a copy of the Philadelphia Gazette, dated Decem-
Der 18th, 1872, and the other two are copies OF
the Baltimore Sun, dated April 9Th, lS4l, and April
9th, 1S41. One of the latter contains an account
of the death of President Harrison also an inter-
esting account of an immense temperance demon
stration and parade in Baltimore, besides many
other matters connected with the current news of
that date,

HARPER'S BAZAAR
ILLUSTRATED.

Harper's Bazaar is the only paper in the world
that combines the choicest literature and the finest
art illustrations with the latest fashions and
methods of household adornment. Its weekly
illustrations and descriptions of the newest Paris
and New York styles, with its useful pattern sheet
supplements and cut patterns, by enabling ladies
to be their own dressmakers, save many times the
cost of subscription. Its papers ON cooking, the
management of servants, the housekeeping in its
various details are eminently practical. Much at
tention is given to the interesting topic of social
etiquette, and its illustrations of art needle-work
are acknowledged to be unequalled. Its literary
merit is of the highest excellence, and the unique
character of its humorous pictures has won for it
the name of the American Punch.

Phoenix, N. G. R. R.-Our neighbor, Major

Phoenix, N. G. R. R.-Our neighbor, Major
Allison, now Assistant Postmaster at Baltimore,
having sold his farm, took his final departure on
Monday morning, November 3Oth, and was drawn
to the depot by his faithful old mare, which he
used for driving purposes. She was to all ap-
pearances in good health and working trim. Re-
fusing to sell or give her away, and having no
further use for her, he paid S. to have her shot,
which was done soon after he left. Our fellow
townsman would have taken good care of her and
no doubt would have paid reasonable sum to
have kept her. Why kill useful animal?

Where was Node orest?-Rev. Andrew
B. Cross, of Baltimore, writes as follows to the
editor of the Belair Times: "Will you please,
through your paper, inquire of any person that
can give any account of district of country in
Baltimore county in 1869 which was called "Node
Forrest" reaching as is supposed from Bethel
Presbyterian Church in Hartford (Which then was
included in Baltimore county, on toward Joppa?
That part near Bethel was called "Upper Node
Forrest in 1869, when the congregation present
ed their call to the Synod of New York and Phil
adelphia for the services of the Rev. John Clark,
who came from the Forks of the Delaware in
Pennsylvania, now Easton, to Bethel and after
remaining seven or eight years removed to the
western part of Pennsylvania, near Pittsburg,
where he died. This Bethel congregation was
then as large as it is now, and yet remains of
great historic interest to Presbyterans and to the
upper end of your county. Your Historical soci-
ciety may be interested in finding where this
tract of country was, which, in those days, went
under that name.'

Old Town and the Maryland Central
The Old Town lBaltimore) Advocate of last week
says "Old Town is more interested in the Mary
land Central Railroad than any other, save the
Western Maryland. 1t is the main artery from
Hartford county to the city. It's natural terminus
is Old Town, and it is only question of money
when the line will be extended to the neighbor-
hood of Hillen and Forrest. Everything con-
corning this railraod is of interest to East Bati-
more, and therefore we present the following
facts: The company issued 100000 of first mort
gage bonds, S434 500 of which were actually sold
and the balance, S165,O0O, hypothecated or given
to secure loans. Subsequently 100000 second
mortgage bonds were issued and hypothecated to
secure additional loans. ]. G. Wrenshall, Esq,
was appointed receiver by order of the court,
under bill filed by the second mortgage bond
holders, in October last. There is floating in
debtedness of over 100000. The contest now is
between the general creditors and the bondhold-
ers. The former, who supplied the machinery
and other articles necessary to keep the road in
proper running condition, claiming that they have
lien upon the property of the company which
should take precedence of the lien under the
mortgages. 1t is thought that the road will ulti-
mately be reorganized on a paying basis, and
that it is only question of time when its liabili
ties will DO satisfactorily settled. 1t is now earn
ing more than its running expenses"

Advent Season.-0n Sunday last commence
ed the sacred season of Advent the beginning of
the new year according to the calendar OF the
Catholic Church, and is intended as a solemn
preparation for the great festival of Christmas,
when in the fulness of time the Divine Man,
Christ Jesus, was born unto the world to become
the saviour of mankind. The season of Advent,
which includes the four weeks preceding the fes-
tval of the Nativity, is made the commencement
of the "Christian year." or year of the church,
which neither follows the course of the nor
moon to number her days or measure her sea-
sons, but Jesus Christ, the Son of Righteousness,
whose incarnation and advent among men begins
the church's sacred course, and from which all
other days and times are computed. Although
Christmas is the most joyous of all the sacred
days, the church does not usher her children at
once into the celebration of that great joy, but
bids them prepare in solemn determination and
discipline for that second advent of Christ at the
last great day, when He shall come again in great
majesty to judge the quick and dead. In all the
three great parts of the Catholic Church through
out the world-Greek, Roman and Anglican-the
season of Advent is regarded in its solemnity as
only second to the Lenten fast the hangings of the
sanctuary and altar, and the vestments OF the
priests changing to violet or purple color.
A Rising Young Minister.-The New York
Tribune of Wednesday says:
"The Rev. Pleasant Hunter, OF Palmer, Mass,
recently received two calls at $4,000 and $4,000
year. Although he receives only 81, 800 year in
his present charge he has decided to remain
where heis, because he thinks he has work to DO
there. The local papers are making hero OF
him."
The Rev. Mr.. Hunter is a Congregationalist
minister. He is a son of Pleasant Hunter, Esq,
of the 18th district of Baltimore county, and
brother of Thos. ]. Hunter, Esq, of Towsontown.
His many relatives in this county, where he was
born and raised, will be highly gratifed to learn
of the great success of their young and worthy
kinsman. Mr.. Hunter was thirty years of age
