A Brilliant Scheme--Local Option
Knocked Out.-Our friend STREET., of the Bel
air Democrat, who always has an eye to business,
has hit upon plan now that will circumvent all
the local option laws that have ever been invented.
We had something to say two weeks ago about
his pretty picture of Col. Hyde's ice business and
this has led him to give his whole scheme away.
1t appears that he has arranged with the Col. to
have hollow wire run from Hyde's Station right
in to his Office in Belair through which unlimited
quantities of that insiduous beverage, to which
we alluded, are to be forced during the swetering
days Of next Summer. The tank at Hyde's is to
be a capacious and the pumping engine the
Col. will attach is second only in power to those
of the Gunpowder temporary supply. Brother
STREET. knows that when this Ting gets to work
it will throw stream of great power and of such
a persuasive nature that about two thirds of Har-
ford's male population will be attracted to his
sanctum every morning, "wantn' to hear what
newfangled machine Of his'n." We see it all now.
This is the plan adopted by that shrewd Demo
crat man to gather in those small bills of his to
help pay for the new Campbell press. And
we feel safe in saying that if he gets this new
invention in proper working trim that in less than
three months he will not only have enough money
to pay for the new press, but that the vaults of
the Belar bank will be bullying out with the cash
this scheme will bring to his sanctum. We
know all about those Hartford people. They are
good fellows and they know good thing when
they see it. When this new scheme gets in proper
working order we will be able to discuss its merits
more fully. But we will say now that its protector
can tie both his hands behind his back and then
get way ahead of grand jury every day in the
week.

GS~A small land tortoise was captured near
Ringgold, Ca, last summer, which carries little
history engraved on its shell. On the smooth,
hard surface of the belly is the inscription, carved
in distinct characters: "UniOn: Co. X, 26th Regi-
ment, Ohio Volunteers, Nov. is, 1884" 1t is
supposed that some struggling Union soldier,
during Sherman's march to Atlanta, picked up
this Georgia quadruped and proceeded to make a
living historical tablet of him.

of knowledge mental culture as it is to have
prayerful and obedient heart. He forgave Paul
for his mistakes because of the honesty of his pur
pose.

the natives of that part of the country, are given
by the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal: All persons going

ing up their estimate of their visitors, are said to

Of Interest to Magistrates.-Judge Wat
ters in case tried before him in Belair last week,
rendered decision which is of interest to magis-
trates generally. Mrs. Mary A. Andrews, as adj
minstratrix of her husband, brought suit against
Heaps Bros, for debt, before Justice Davis. The
summons was returnable Nov. goth, 1884, but the
defendants failed to appear. The Justice there
upon made the following entries in his docket
"Summons issued returnable Nov. 29th, 1884.
Parties did not appear. Judgment for Andrews
adm'x, for $54, with interest and COSTS" The
case was appealed to court By Messrs. Heaps
Bros, who where represented by Col Herman
Stump; Messrs Archer VanBibbor appearing
for the appellee. Col. Stump argued that the
Judgment was defective, for the reason that the
magistrate had no authority to enter judgment
on the goth of November, because he was obliged,
by law, to give six days for the defendant to APP
pear. The magistrate testified that he had waited
six days before entering the judgment. This was
answered by citing the law, which requires the
magistrate, when parties fail to appear, to fix
day for trial, not less than six nor more than
fourteen days from the return day. The magis-
trate in this case had not, by an entry in his
docket, fixed a certain day for the defendants to
appear. Judge Waters therefore reversed the
judgment.
