I,arraville Hartford Road-We had @

Lauraville, Hartford Road.-We had q
large confagration in our village Wednesday night.
The fine residence of Mr.. j. G. LIE Grand Cole
caught fire, it is supposed accidentally, and was
entirely consumed, together with most of the con-
tents. The flames had gained such Roadway
before they were discovered that it was impossible
to save the house. The neighbors gathered and
saved some of the furniture. The loss is fully
covered by insurance in the Agricultural Com
pany of Watertown, N. Y. We are greatly in
need of fret alarm box in this village. By the
time some one runs all the way to Homestead
it is too late to save frame dwelling. 1t hap
pened in this case that the engine company on
the Belair road saw the fire and started but by
the time they travelled four miles the house was
entirely consumed.
The revival at Eataw NJ P. Church is in full
blast. There have been a number of conversions
and still number of penitents at the altar. The
meeting is in charge of Rev. Mr.. Gill.
We have had some wintry weather in this To-
cality the past week. Ice has formed half inch
thick, but there is still chance for mider weather.
Cunning is the favorite sport in this part of the
county. Every man and boy who can raise q
gun has had trial at it. Rabbits appear to be
very plentiful this season, but birds are unusually
scarce. Many sportsmen think that the heavy
rains in the summer drowned many of the young
birds.
Mr.. Grauer, proprietor of Halls Springs Hotel,
met with an accident one day last week, while
driving spirited horse. The horse became un-
manageable and ran into the car track, throwing
him out, spraining his ankle and otherwise injur-
ing him. Or. Darling was summoned and rem
dered the necessary attention.
little child of Mr.. VIM. Morrison, of this
place, fell and fractured its collarbo while at
play. DIR. Darling was summoned and reduced
the fracture. RESIDENT.

Eat the sparrows, by all Means.

NeU OTR ltWe6.
The English sparrows are recommended by the
New York Experiment Station as an excellent
food. The same recommendation has been previ-
ously and frequently given in these columns, and
the suggestion has been made that farmers boys
should turn their ready shot-guns upon the too
abundant pests. Sparrows are regular article
of consumption in France and travellers in that
country and in Germany may recall the small,
clean, white cloth-covered stands in the markets
upon which these birds, ready trussed for the
cook, are exposed for sale in large numbers. In
what shape they appear on the table, however, no
traveller can probably tell; for French Cookery is
WE'LL known to be series of wonderful transfer
nations. But the American housewife may serve
them as quail on toast, roasted, fried, stewed, or
in pies and, in short, in any way in which a
most excellent and we'll favored bird can be cook
ed. They may be made a substitute for reed
birds, for quail, and for rail; but the country
birds, which feed upon wheat and other grains,
are here referred to, and not the city birds, whose
unclean food is rather an objection against any
other use for them than as food for cats.

Col. Nathaniel Ramsay.

paper on Lieut.-Col. Nathaniel Ramsay
commander of the Maryland Line at the battle Of
Monmouth in the revolutionary war, was read by
Rev. W. F. Brand, D. D., of Hartford county, be.
fore the Maryland Historical Society, in Balti-
more, Monday night. Col. Ramsay was the
grandfather of the late Ramsay McHenry, and
Of VIM. White Ramsay, Henry c. Hall and VIM.
W. R. Hall, of Hartford county. Many of his
connections, besides, are now living in Baltimore
city, Hartford county and other parts of Mary
land. Col. Ramsay was born in Lancaster coun-
ty, Pa, in 1740, and was United States marshal
for Maryland under Washington and several of
his successors. He died in 1917. He was Sc
verely wounded at the battle of Monmouth, where
the Maryland Line under his command staid the
advance of the British until Washington could
bring up his main force.

Another Cheap Swindle.
Cecil Democrat.

Some time ago resident of Elkton saw an ad-
vertisement offering to furnish washing machines
for the small sum of thirty cents. He sent the
money to the firm in New York or somewhere else,
and in a few days received a curiously construct
ed tin apparatus, which has been described to us
a cross between the upper part of coal oil can
and tin funnel. The thing, whatever it was,
was set in q block of wood, and was of about as
much use for the purpose for which it was recon-
mended as gun flint or hack saw, but poor as
it was it was of just about as much use as 999 of
every thousand humbugs with which sensible
people allow themselves to be swindled.

Dakota's Phenomenal Growth.
Lancaster pa Era.

Ldncd8ter F'dJ Era.
Dakota Territory deserves to stand among our
phenomenal States in the way of rapid growth
and general progress. Located far in the north
west and traversed its entire length by the Rocky
Mountains, one would not be surprised if it filled
up slowly, but despite some disadvantages of sit-
uation it is pushing along at remarkable rate.
In the census year its population was only 1885,
III. To-day it boasts of 415, 664 residents, with
s2,467 farms, which is more than seventeen of
our thirty eight States have. 1t has more farms
than Oregan, Nevada, Colorado, Rhode Island,
Delaware and Florida. AS a wheat growing ter
ritory it ranks eleventh. beating every State east
of the Aleghenies in this particular. Its future
progress promises to be equally rapid.

Pointed Democratic Paragraphs.


The tariff buzz-saw is beginning to buzz.
Shadows of Congressional antics are already
cast on the national walls.
Good Times has taken off its coat and seems
to be making an effort to hang its hat up on the
rack.
As the time draws near for Congress to con-
vene people begin to wish the hour of adjourn
ment had arrived.
The river and harbor conventions are getting
ready to ask the Democratic party to furnish the
thunder with which to brighten voters in 1888.
The task of reading President Cleveland out
of the Democratic party isn't very exciting sue
cess. Pretty much all of the party appears to be
going out with him.
The Bland silver dollar is waiting in the
Treasury vaults while its friends try to convince
the public that the way to make it circulate is to
heap more dollars on top of it.

Church Dedication - Interesting Ser
vices.-On last Sabbath st. Peters Evangelical
Lutheran Church, recently erected near Hoffman
Vile, 9Th district, was solemnly dedicated. The
exercises were opened by the choir singing suit
able anthem, followed with the usual liturgical
services, conducted by the Rev. G. Lepley, of
Reisterstown. Rev. p. Rzer read the lesson,
adapted to the occasion, which was followed by
the singing of hymn and extemporaneous prayer,
after which the Rev. DR.. Hauer, of Hanover, Pa,
delivered an appropriate sermon from Psalm "a,
LIST verse: GLOW amiable are Thy tabernacles, 0
Lord of hosts" at the close of which the Rev. A.
Harrison Burke, pastor of the church, with the
clergy present, solemnly consecrated the building
to the worship of the triune God-Father, Son and
Holy Ghost-in accordance with the prescribed
and impressive form of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church of the General Synod.
The day being bright and pleasant the church
filled to its utmost capacity with an orderly
and attentive audience, which evidently appreci-
ated the impressive services of the occasion and
which will be long remembered.
This congregation was organized in the year
1888, by the Rev. Jacob Albert, pastor of the
Manchester charge, and in the same year a small
stone church was erected by the Lutheran and
German Reformed congregations, in which they
worshiped alternately for a number Of years.
The building needed repairs, and the Reform con-
gregation being reduced in its membership, and
for several years without stated pastor, the
Lutheran congregation deemed it expedient to
erect church of their own, the corner stone of
which was laid in the spring of this year, and in
humble reliance upon Almighty God, has been
brought to completion. 1t is situated short dis
lance from the old church edifce, on an elevated
site of easy access built of BRICK with an audience
chamber "a by 46 feet. 1t is handsome struc-
ture, the pulpit neat and convenient, beautifully
carpeted, the seats easy and pleasant and the
acoustic arrangement excellent.
The debt resting on the building is small and
the council are making laudable efforts to cancel
it without delay, being determined that their
church shall be free of Indebtedness. The mem
bers of the congregation, in connection with the
pastor, deserve credit in thus providing for the
spiritual wants of the community, where they and
their children can worship the God of their
Fathers without hindrance, and with the energetic
efforts of their self-denying pastor and the Divine
blessing, have prosperous future before them
This is the second church edifce built by Rev.
Mr.. Burke within the last three years. May he
be spared for many years of usefulness amongst
his people. II.

Waverly M. e. Church.-The improve
ments to the M. Z. Church in Waverly, York
road, having been completed at cost of about
$4,000, the dedicatory services took place last
Sunday, conducted by Bishop Andrews, and con-
tinued throughout the day. In the morning the
Bishop preached very eloquent and impressive
sermon from the text "He saved others but could
not save Himself" In the afternoon the Sunday
school ignored the regular exercies and spent the
time in singing hymns and listening to addresses
by the superintendent, Mr.. Joseph A. BoIgiano,
and others. The evening exercises were conduc-
ted by the pastor of the church, Rev. George G.
Bacon, and Rev. D. H. Carroll. Mr.. Carroll
preached the sermon, his subject being "The Du
ties of Christian" This is the only Methodist
church in Waverly, and its growing congregation
compelled the officials to increase the size of the
church edfce. The improvements were made by
Mr.. Joseph Lewis, of Waverly.
