New Freedom and Vicinity.-Just now
there is o general complaint in the strlngency OF
money matters throughout the country, but be this
as it may, the proverbial stocking known to our
Pennsylvania farmers seems to hold Its average
golden contents, which is being scattered with
lavish indulgence in building and repairing
Taking our town as nucleus, no less than seven
large and commodious barns and dwelling houses
are being erected at this present writing within q
radius of two miles. This speaks practically
against the everlasting, long-taced, dissatisfied
cry of "hard times" Let Imagination and this
incessant howl for political spoil be crushed out
let reality and desire for honest labor be substi
tuted, and more barns, better houses and we'll
filled purses will be found in sections other than
York county.
The New Freedom literary society, during its
session last Monday night, discussed the following
question:: "Resolved, that New Freedom should
have a licensed hotel" At present there is no
hotel in this place, and since the awakening in
railroad work house of accommodation is sadly
needed. Considerable interest was manifested in
the discussion but was lost in the decision of the
judges.
Another case of accidental poisoning, which
came near being fatal occurred here last Friday
night. Mr.. Albert Wineholt, railroad employee,
in mistake swallowed nearly an ounce of refined
nitre. 1t was several hours before the blunder
was discovered, during which time excruciating
pain was suffered. DR.. J. S. Hetrick being called
in, promptly relieved the patient.
Mrs. M. w. Bonn, the estimable wife of our enter
prising agent and business man, is lying danger
ously i'll at her husbands residence.
We are pleased to notice our genial friend, Mr..
B. F. Roller, will superintend the culinary de-
partment again this year at Summit Grove camp.
Baltimore county friends may have no fear but
their "inner man" will be satisfied.
Railroad work is still progressing. About forty
workmen are engaged in laying the rails, and by
the end of the week the road will be fairly COM
pleted to Shrewsbury.
In my next shall be pleased to give your
readers some of our leading industries, not even
forgetting the knight of the forge. By the way,
it is rather curious that "Stony" is from Monkton
and the writer from the antediuvian town over
the way. Ct.

Heirs Springing Up.-Fred. W. thinner,
who for years very successfully conducted res
taurant on west Baltimore street, Baltimore, died
rather suddenly few days ago, and, being a
bachelor, it not known that he had any very
near relatives. His funeral took place on We'd
nesday and on the same day Elias c. thinner,
who keeps tavern five miles from Baltimore, on
the Liberty road, and who claims to be cousin
of the deceased applied to the city Orphans Court
to be appointed administrator of his estate. On
Thursday x-Gov. Whyte, whose son had long
been counsel for thinner, also applied for letters
of administration. Louis thinner, of Wheeling,
W. Va, a brother of the deceased, accompanied
by his son. who lives at Bellaire, Ohio, arrived in
Baltimore Wednesday evening, after the funeral
had taken place, and of course they will lay claim
to the estate. On Monday private desk in
Zimmer's business place, was broken open, by
order of the Orphans Court. In it were found
about 81, 900 in money and diamonds valued at
$4,000, and these will be held by the Orphans
Court until it is decided who is entitled to ad-
minister. Zimmer's estate is supposed to be worth
1000.

CALCULATIONS of the members they were invited to

From Arcadia.-On Thursday night of last
week the store of Mr.. w. A. Burke, at this place,
was broken into and robbed of about $40 in money
several dozen bottles of beer and pop, several
pairs of ladies' shoes, some revolvers and pocket
knives and other articles. Entrance was made
to the store by first getting into the cellar. The
next morning the shoe tracks of two men were
found about the building.
There is a fine prospect for hay in this section.
The wheat fields are looking we'll but the grain
stands very thin on the ground. Farmers are bust
ly engaged blowing their corn, which came up
very regularly and is growing nicely.
Our neighbor, Mr.. Richard Gill, recently made
a trip to Philadelphia to visit his brother who has
been resident of that city for upwards of thirty
years. He returned home well pleased with his
visit.
Mr. Burke thinks it very strange that the
thieves did not disturb anything connected with
the postofice, which is kept in the same building,
and feels well satisfied that they did not, as a
desk in that department contained some articles
of value that would have amply paid them for
their trouble. IL.

quent encores. The bass solos by Mr.. Charles
Harding and the tenor solos by Mr.. Lee Walter
Sumner, both of Baltimore were beautifully sung
and elected well-merited and generous applause.
The choruses by the Glass, composed principally
of home talent, were rendered with harmony
and finish that surprised and delighted the audi
ence, rejecting much credit upon the members
and their accomplished instructor. There were
ten numbers on the programme, the selections
having been made with excellent taste and judg-
ment. Mrs. G. Bohn Slingluff, who has taken an
active interest in the Glass, and who was mainly
instrumental in getting up the concert, shared the
honors with Prof. Simon, and at the end of part
first of the programme they each presented
with beautiful large basket Of flowers from the
members of the Glass.
The proceeds of this concert are to be devoted
to getting up fair, the funds from which to be
used in the erection of an armory for the Towson
Guards. The fair will likely be held some time
this summer and, if successful, immediate steps
will be taken to erect suitable building for
town hall and armory. Capt. MCLEAN is going
to work energeticay and it is hoped the citizens
will give him the proper encouragement.

common stock"
