To Whom il n,ay Concern !.

~ WHOW " may concern:
In the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle of December 81, there APP
peared a statement in the form of a
card from DIR. j. B. Henion, of this,
recounting his remarkable recovery
from Bright's disease of the kidneys,
after several doctors of prominence
had given him up, by the use of War
ner's Safe Cure. We are personally
or by reputation acquainted with DIR.
HeniOn, and we believe he would
publish no statement not literally
true. We are also personally or by
reputation well acquainted with H.
H. Warner d Co., proprietors of that
remedy, whose commercial and per-
sonal standing in this community are
of the highest order, and we believe
that they would not publish any
statements which were not literally
and strictly true in every particular.

Sugar as Feed for Stock.

The lOw price of sugar England is
inducing farmers there to inquire into
the ACCESSIBILITY of feeding it to fat
tening stock. In this country we al
ways feed more or less sugar to cattle
in the stalk Of Indian corn and sugar
cane, and in the sugar beet. Sugar
is very fattening, and if our sorghum
industry proves successful, the coarse
grades of sugar may be prodced
cheaply enough to be fed to stock
which it is especially desirable to
iatten rapidly.-Prince Edward Is

Another Deed of Trust.-Mr. Ernault H.
Williams, son of Hon. George Hawkins Williams,
of Baltimore county, and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth
M. Williams, this week jointly executed deed of
trust of all their property of every kind, and par
ticuarly all the estate right and interest to which
he is now, or may hereafter be entitled under the
will of his grandfather the late John S. Cuttings,
to the Safe Deposit and Trust Company of Balti-
more, B. F. Newcomer, president. The deed pro-
vdes that the trustee shall take charge of the en-
tire estate and pay the income therefrom, in such
amounts as he may think necessary, to Ernault
and his wife, in whole or in part as he may deem
advisable Provision is also made for the care
and education of the child or children. A proviso
is added that in case Ernaut survives his wife
and dies without issue, the trust be held for the
benefit of such persons as he shall appoint and
direct by will, instead of for the benefit of his
wife's heirs at-law, Ernaut reserving to himself
full power to dispose of the estate by will in that
event. The property conveyed by this deed is
estimated to be worth S225,OO0 and is the same
which was conveyed by Ernault to his father, in
trust, in May, 1882, reserving an allowance of
50 600 per year. This latter deed was set aside
by a city Court and the decision was affirmed by
the Court of Appeals on the 10th inst.

Killed in California.--The young man
whose sad death is reported below by the Belair
Times, was well known in the upper end of Bal
timore county, where he had many friends The
Times says: "Mr. franklin P. Wiley, son of VIM.
Wiley, who lives in York county, adjoining the
Maryland line, was killed in California recently
by an unbroken mustang pony which he attempt
ed to ride. Mr.. Wiley went to California last
year, reaching there January II, 1884, and on
January II, 1885, just year from the time Of
his arrival, he was killed. He had been warned
that the pony was dangerous, but being of a
fearless disposition determined to subdue it. The
mustang threw him and kicked him on the left
temple as he fell, death ensuing in a short time.
His relatives here were notified by telephone OF
his death and ordered the remains prepared and
shipped home, which was done. The body was
embalmed and placed in metallic casket, and
reached home after a nine days journey in per-
feet state of preservation. The deceased was a
nephew of Mr.. David Wiley and had many rela-
tives and friends in Hartford, by whom his sud
den death is sincerely mourned. He was young
man of promise, and had just entered manhood,
being in his 22d year"

Sad Death of an Old Gentleman.-Mr.
Nathan drummer, an old citizen of Baltimore,
who at one time conducted the grocery business at
the corner of Hllen and Exeter streets, met q sad
death on Saturday night last His law,
John Shaffer, Jr., is manager of the farm of Mr..
Thomas Armstrong, situated on the Hartford road,
near Boarman's Hotel, 1lth district. On Satur-
day afternoon Mr.. drummer started from the city
in the Hartford road stage for the purpose of pay
ing visit to his daughter. After a ride of about
IL miles-the weather being very cold and the
snow falling heavily-he left the stage at the en-
trance to Mr.. Armstrong; farm, not more than
half mile from his daughters house. In trying
to accomplish this short distance the old gentle
men was benumbed with the cold and becoming
bewidered it is thought he wandered around in a
CIRCLE within sight of his destination, until he
finally overcome and laid down and was frozen to
death. On Sunday morning a boy found the body
under a tree by the roadside. DR.. j. f. IL. Cor
such, who lives near by, was sent for and gave it
as his opinion that death had resulted from ex-
posure Justice J. NJ. T. Lawrence was notified
and held an inquest, the jury rendering verdict
in accordance with the opinion of DR.. G0rsuch.-
Mr.. drummer was "a years of age.

Baltimore County Ice.-The Hartford Dem

Baltimore County Ice.-The Hartford Dem
ocrat reports that Col. S. N. Hyde, of Long Green
Valley, in connection with his other business en-
terprises, is storing large quantities of very fine
ice which he expects to run in on the Baltimore
marke. some time next summer. The Democrat
says "ths is an experimental lot, and Mr.. is
so well assured of its value that he contemplates
shipping many thousand tons in the near future.
Mr.. II. says, and probably truly, that he can
gather and ship ice to Baltimore at less price
than it can be hauled from the wharves in Light
street to Maryland avenue and the sections of the
city that are accessible to the M. R. r. depot.
If this can be done there is reason why large
and profitable business should not be done in send
ing ice to the city and elsewhere"
Evidently Col. Hyde has been "playing it on"
our esteemed neighbor of the Democrat. The Col
onel has the reputation of concoctng very Sc
ductivc summer beverage, the principal ingredient
of which is ice, the other component parts being
"weeds" and a few other things. We don't be-
lieve that Col. Hyde is getting ready to bull the
Baltimore iAemarket. He will have large num-
Der of visitors next summer, and as he always has
a..severe eye to business, he is simply preparing
for the "wrath to come"-otherwise the visitors,
who would "kick" if he didn't have whole heap
of ice. That's all.

The Ashland Iron Works.

The Ashland Iron Works.-A Baltimore
paper says: "The Ashland Iron Company have
apparently about determined to relinquish the
manufacture of iron at their furnace near Cock
eysvlle. The works have not been in operation
since last summer, but the owners have been hop
ing against hope that times would grow better
and justify starting up again. The fates, how
ever, appear to be against the trade in this region.
Various reasons assigned for this, the prnci-
pal being that it is impossible to compete with
the manufacturers in Birmingham, Alabama, and
other Southern towns. The Ashland Company,
when in full blast, employed in the neighborhood
of 700 men. Many of these have already gone to
other states for work and many more will remove
when sprinp opens"

promote the growth of"peace and good will among
men," The pastor of this church will therefore
be glad to give full information to any one
who may be DESTROYS of organizing similar

Once More the Belt.-At an early hour on
Monday morning last the residence of Mrs. Blanch-
ard Emory, on Charles street avenue, in the Belt,
was entered and robbed of lot of silverware of
no very great value. These Belt burglars are
rather hig Oh toned fellows. They don't take any
plated ware, so that those families who have very
little solid silver can make themselves perfectly
easy. In this instance it is supposed the burglars
secreted themselves inside before the house was
closed for the night, as no doors or windows we're
broken. 1t makes us blush, but we have to say it
the burglars are still outside, actively preparing
to get in again. What. no ye vigilance commit
tee. Have you too fallen in with the county police
and gone to take nap?

aged the extensive farm of P. A. & S. Small, in
Manchester township. but some five years ago he
resigned that position in order to give closer at
tention to his own personal affairs. He was a

Clifton, Sd District.-An unfortunate occur
renee, namely, the shooting of colored man by
Capt. James League, of our neighborhood, has
given us something to talk about. The Captain
has been annoyed very much by the butchers
driving cattle through his front yard, in order to
keep IN the county and avoid the city ordinances.
On Tuesday evening, hearing noise around his
house, the Captain went out and found flock of
sheep tearing his shrubbery to pieces. They
were in charge of colored man named James.
The Capt. ordered him off, but was answered by
abuse and oaths. He was then about to seize the
man, when Mrs. League rushed out. Her hus-
band took her back, but the thinking the
Capt. was afraid of him, followed him up, threat
ening to blow his brains out. The Captain back
ed into his passage way, got shotgun standing
there, and discharged the load into the fellows
face Fortunately the wounds not of
rious character.
The Captain was arrested on q warrant sworn
out by the man and is now in your town. We
hope to have him with us again, as he is kind
neighbor and an agreeable gentleman. S.
