The new avenue, known as the Hotel
avenue, leading from Sykesville to Springfield
Church, is now being graded, and will soon
be open for travel. This, when completed,
will be one of the prettiest drives in the
county. On it there is delightful view of
the surrounding country, with the river and
railroad winding below. This is one of Mr..
Frank Browns private enterprises for the
public good. He is determined to have good
roads in the district, and will lend helping
hand when needed. The people are begin
ming to realize that he has their interest at
heart and means to take care of them. He is
also turning his attention to the wants OF the
people of Carroll on the line of the b. d y.
r. r., and hopes soon to make such changes
in rates that will be beneficial to the agricul-
tural and all other interests of the people.
We were shown a curiosity in the shape of
an eel skin last week at the home of Mr.. La
fayette Banes, near Marriottsville. The eel
was captured by Mr.. Ross Banes and others
in the old soapstone quarry formerly owned
by Mr.. Christian Devries. His eelship meas
ured 50 inches in length and 10inches around
the thickest part.
Master Melville Shipley, son of James NJ.
Shipley, recently killed crane measuring
feet from tips of wings and 81 from bill to tail.
1t is supposed this crane was looking for
Banes eel.
The political field was never more excited
in our district than now. The combination
is fully organized now and started to work on
Tuesday. The first days ride not only
changed many votes in their favor, but also
changed the weather. Combinations always
have beneficial effects. Never was such rid
ing known before. Some men have not taken
their boots off for week, and are weaker
now than when they first started out. Med
ical men are feeling the political pulses of the
people and giving exhilarating prescriptions.

80 feet. The stone and brick work was done
by Danl N. Hahn and Geo. Ward. The
carpenter work was mostly done by VIM. w.
Oursler, of Baltimore, practical house car
penter and builder, who had the general su-
pervsion of the building, and the symmetry
and workmanship of the structure fully at
tests his proficiency and skill as master
workman in his profession. The house has
been artistically painted by Mr. VIM. d.
Snyder. Mr.. Jno. l.. Stull last week had the
large new barn painted which he built during
the summer and which together with his fine
new dwelling recently built, reflects credit for
energy and enterprise and adds greatly to his
farm and neighborhood. We think. the next
thing in order might be the enjoyment of a
share of that conjugal felicity which is posi-
BILE for any gentleman in his position but
which he seems to have thus far neglected.
1t is reported that there was frost along the

The past week has been one of exceptionally
gaiety in the staid and quiet little town OF

to the large number of young people sojourn-
ing in our midst on their midsummer vaca-

tlemen of the vicinity were invited Quite
large number attended and the evening was
very enjoyably spent The toilets Of the Ia
dies were very handsome, but the ladies them
selves, radiant with pleasure, fairly outshone
their costumes. One of the features Of the
occasion was the entire absence of formality
and the hearty good will with which every one
applied themselves to the enjoyment OF the
evening.
Friday night the walters of the College ex-
hibited their talents in minstrel performance,
which proved to be very pleasing entertain
ment, although, owing to the inclemency of

the compositions of Abt, Schubert and Haydn
in magnificent style. Indeed the rendering
of Gounods Ave Maria was given with so
much purity and expression, that it could be
appreciated even by those whose highest con-
ception of music includes only the clarion
blast of the dinner horn or the melodious bray
of the donkey.
On Thursday night the guests of the Col
lege gave a comedy, entitled "a Regular
Fix"
A festival is now in progress in Norris

westminster Notes.

From an article written for the Baltimore
Weekly Bulletin, on points of interest on the
Western Maryland railroad, we take the fol-
lowing Westminster is thriving town of
nearly four thousand inhabitants, and is bean
tifully situated. There is great deal of bus
mess enterprise developing itself at this
place. At present they have fertilizing fac
tory and also an ''anti- nicotine" factory, with
a capacity of $50 hands. 1t is patent pro-
cess by which cigars and cigarettes can be
manufactured without extra cost, and by
which the nicotine, so unhealthy and poison
GUS to the system, is wholly neutralized.
This town is also the home of our most
popular and able Attorney General and Hon.
Frank T. Shaw, successor to Hon. j. F. G.
Talbot, in Congress. The Messrs. Wander
ford, publish here the DEMOCRATIC ADyo-
CATE, one of the ablest and best printed week

ment is well and conveniently arranged, with
