Raspburg, 18th District.-Our village is
thriving place, and the conveniences we have
make us feel as though we were living in large
town. The butcher and baker run their wagons
daily for the purpose of supplying their many
customers.
Mr.. Ernest Sack, the weil-known carpenter, is
overrun with orders from his patrons. Mr.. VIM
C. Vogts, the blacksmith, and George Hartman,
wheewright, have as much work as they can do.
They now building two carriages and one
broad-tread wagon, and with repair work, &c.
make lively times around their shops. They are
industrious and experienced mechanics and have
the confidence of the community.
Mr. Charles B. Lewis has his portable steam
saw mill in operation, and is meeting with sue
cess. He is pleasant fellow, popular with our
people, and understands perfectly how to run his
machine.
The cry of hard times is not heard in this To-
cality. We have no dynamiters to disturb us, and
every fellow is attending to his own business.

Postof1ce Robbed.-A gang of burglars
visited Gainesville, on the Frederick road, some
time between midnight and day light, Wednesday
morning last, and made very good haul from
the postofice. They first got into Remus Adams
blacksmith shop, where they secured the necessary
tools to prosecute their work. They then attacked
Wilson's store, but the heavy front door being
security barred the inside, they gave up the job
in despair, after working some time on the heavy
door. Leaving this store they went to the store
of Mr.. Chas.F. Fusting, in which the postofice is
located, Mr.. +. being the postmaster. Here they
easily effected an entrance and once inside COM
menced operations on the iron safe. By means
of drilling and wedging they managed to break
the combination of the outer door, the sledge
blows being deadened by covering the safe with
carpeting. The inside door was also drilled and
a charge of powder inserted, which blew it open.
The safe was then rihed of its contents, which
were carried to an clubhouse on the church prop
erty near by. Here they were examined. About
S125 in money was taken and between $500 and
$500 in stamps. The money orders and pos
tai notes, many of which were in the safe were
not taken. An employee of the Gainesville Short
Line Railroad was sleeping in the room over the
store, but the operations of the burglars
Quoted so cautiously that he was not awakened.
This is the third time the Gainesville office has
been robbed. Two years ago the thieves got only
$40 but about three years before they secured
$500. There is no clue to the perpetrators of the
burglary.

Old Town Merchants.-The Merchants and
Manufacturer Association of Old Town, Balti-
more, held their first annual banquet at the Mer-
chants Club German street, on Wednesday even
ing last. Nearly all the prominent business men
of Old Town present, together with well
known business men from other sections of the
city. Mayor Latrobe occupied a conspicuous po-
sition and responded to one of the toasts in his
usual happy vein. Mr.. Theo. F. Wilcox, presi-
dent of the Association, occupied the head of the
table and made neat speech of welcome. Speech
es were also made by ex-Congressman Kimmel,
Mr.. VIM. Sherwood, Col. John NJ. Hood, presi-
dent of the w. M. r. r. Co., Col. F. Raine and
others. The affair was in all respects a success,
rejecting great credit upon the Association,
which has grown to be a very important factor in
the advancement of that portion of tho city. Old
Town is closely linked by business and other ties
with the western, northern and central sections of
Baltimore county and hundreds of citizens
feel an interest in everything that pertains to its
prosperity and advancement.

Fire in an Asylum.-A slight fire occurred
in Spring Grove Insane Asylum, located in the LIST
district, on Tuesday evening, and the buildings
we're only saved by the prompt action of the OIL
Gals and others. The amusement hall, very
large room in the centre of the asylum, has still
the Christmas greens hanging in it and when one
of the attendants was lighting the gas he acci-
IDENTIFY set fire to some of these. The whole place
was soon in blaze and it required the most ener-
getic work to prevent the flames from spreading.
There are upward of four hundred patients in
in the institution and these all brought down
to the first floor, to be ready for removal. Sever
al engines of the county department and two from
the city responded to the alarm, but their services
were not required. The loss was about S5O0, and,
strange to say, there is no insurance on the build
ing.

Two Foxes Killed.-The Belair 4Egis of
last week says: "On Tuesday morning of last
week Mr.. Columbus Watkins, while hauling ma
nure to back field on Mr.. VIM. 7. Watson's
place, adjoining Mr. VIM. M Edelin's, saw two
large foxes playing on the hillside. He left his
team and going to the house got his gun and re-
turned. As soon the foxes saw him coming
one ran one way and the other in the opposite
direction, but Mr.. Watkins killed them BOTH
About or 10 years ago Mr.. Watkins's fathers
barn was burned and pet fox, that had collar
on, escaped Mr.. Watkins believes that one of
the foxes he killed was the identical one that es-
capped then as it had on the same kind of collar.

The French Spoliation Claims.-As there
are a number Of persons in Baltimore county in
terested in these claims anything on the subject
will attract attention. The Belair Times of last
week says: "Among the cimants under the
French spolation bill, recently passed by Con-
gress and signed by the President, are several in
Belair. The heirs of Mr.. Bissell, the father of
Mrs. DR.. W. S. Richardson, who was shipping
merchant of Norfolk, claim it is said some $780,
600 for the destruction of several vessels. The
heirs of the grandfather of DR.. W. B. Munnik-
huysen, who was shipping merchant of Balti-
more, claim considerable amount for vessels de-
stroyed and Mr.. G.. L. VanBibber, representing
the heirs of his grandfather, claims some $4,000
for the destruction of the brig Neptune. Hon.
Herman Stump also represents several claimants
of different branches of his family for considerable
sums. The bill passed by Congress does not
authorize the payment of the claims, but gives
permission to claimants to prove their cases be-
fore the Court of Claims at Washington. This
Court will pass upon their legality, and if the
bills are found to be valid, Congress will then ap
propriate the money to pay them. The money
for the claims approved by the Court will prob
ably be available in two or three years."

Mrs. Hundertmark's Condition.-Mary
Jane Hundertmark, who is serving five years
term in the Maryland penitentiary for the murder
of Charles Ensor, near Notre Dame Station, Mary
land Central R. R., in October, 1883, has been
quite i'll for some time and is gradually growing
weaker. The circumstances of the shooting Of
Ensor still fresh in the minds of our readers.
He was cunning upon the woman's property and
she shot and killed him, but claimed that the
shooting was accidental. She was tried at Tow
sontown and convicted of Granddaughter just about
one year ago.
Dr. Silas Baldwin, physician to the penitentiary,
says that she is very hystercal and is in a state
of extreme nervous prostration. He does not con-
slider her, however, in any immediate danger, and
says she may live for years. She does not evince
any desire to live, and is very much depressed
about the disposal of her property and about her
husband, who, she has been informed, has become
tired of life of single blessedness and has taken
to himself another wife.
Soon after her incarceration her conduct was so
strange that it was thought her mind was giving
way. DR.. Baldwin, however, was convinced that
she was feigning insanity, which opinion was con-
CURED in by DIR. F. T. Miles, an expert in mental
diseases. Since that time she has been in an ex-
tremely nervous and hysterical condition, and has
been totally incapacitated for any kind of work.

Electricity on County Railway.-The
Union Passenger Railway Company has made
arrangements to run its cars from the stables at
the corner of Oak and Sixth streets to Hampden
and Woodbury. by electricity. Mr. Robbins, the
president of the company, has been in negotia-
ton with Baltimore firm for supply of the
apparatus and machinery for the equipment of
the cars. 1t is proposed to lay a rail midway
between the two occupied by the car. This single
rail will be charged with electricity by a dynamo,
which will be located at the stables. In the car
will be placed the apparatus which will be con-
nected with the electrified rail and by which the
car will be drawn along. An engineer can manage
the car at will by severing the connection with
the electrified rail. Work ON this improvement
was commenced on Thursday morning last.

loss to know why this section has not been here
tofore noticed in THE UNION, have concluded to
give you short letter. 1t is true, we are but a
small part of Baltimore county, yet we exist and
are about as prosperous as circumstances will
permit. Two new churches have been built with
in the past year. one Methodist Episcopal and
one Methodist Protestant. They neatly con-

people of Rock Chapel M. E. church, just over

Memorial Chapel next spring, to take the place
of the present structure, which is said to be the
oldest M. E. church in the country.
Our public school is in a fourishing condition,
and the teacher, Mr. N. D. R. Allen, is very much
liked by both children and parents.
Mr. Abraham Mcdonald and his estimable wife

their many home comforts. the kind of weather
we have been having recently not permitting
of much else. portion of them are feeding cat

other fellows girl, is about all there is transpiring
just now worthy of note. M.

Chestnut Ridge, 9Th District.-I attended
the second of series of entertainments given by
the young people of Mantua Grange, P. of H.,
on Wednesday of last week, which was very en-
joyable affair. 1.-THE old fogies and stay at homes
only knew what they miss, 1 think they would
patronize these efforts which not only source
of revenue for worthy cause, but means of
culture and literary improvement deserving sup
port. Some of the young ladies and gentlemen
participating evinced dramatic talent of no mean
order. The next of the series is to be held on
25th inst.
young man named Joseph P. Peters met
with an accident on Friday of last week, causing
his death instantly. He was driving team for
Mr.. Lewis Ahrens, of the 4th district, and in at
tempting to descend "Ledger HILL" on the Dover
road, without roughlo lock, his saddle mule fell
with him and the heavy wagon loaded with two
cords of green hickory wood, passed over a part
jelly. Two other teams were short distance be-
One of them warned him ofthe danger of descend
ing the hill without the extra lock, but he would
not listen, and paid the penalty with his life.
Justice VIM. r. Hipsley was notified, and after
viewing the body and hearing the statements of
the witnesses, declined holding an inquest. The
young man was a native of York, Pa, to which
place his body was taken on Saturday.
The ladies of Carroll Chapel are going to hold
an oyster supper at the house of Mr.. Geo. Long,
on the Dover road, near the church. From the
well known culinary ability of some of the ladies
we expect frst-class supper and wish them
abundant success. The object is to raise money
to pay the minister. INo.

Something New in Road Business.-A
correspondent of the Rockville Advocate, after
referring to the fact that no matter how perfect
dirt road may be graded, the water will follow
the course of wagon track long distance
before finding its way into side drains, proposes
to farmers, inasmuch they are particularly in
terested in having good roads, that the custom OF
having wagons to track be changed; that broad
treads be used, and that there be a difference OF
three or four inches made between the length of
the front and hind axes. In such case the wagon
would make track of six eight inches wide,
instead of two as at present. AT first glance this
very novel idea strikes one rather favorably, but
how about the draught? 1t seems to us that the
injury to the team, caused by more constant and
heavier pulling, would more than counterbaance
whatever benefit the road might gain. The prac-
ticability of the idea don't strike us favorably.
