-Tuesday night Was the coolest Of the winter
aud Wednesday was the coolest day. The ther-
mOmeter at q. IN. registered from l to degrees
below zero. The wind was very high and the at
mosphsre most severe. The Baltimore Ne,cs says
IL was the coolest weather we have experienced in
four years, but this doubt, although it cold
enough TO satisfy anybody.
About six weeks ago an interesting little
son Of Mr.. Charles w. Lee, of this place, was at
tackled with very serious trouble in the left knee.
The joint became stiff and the limb very much
swollen, so that the little fellow was confined to
his bed. Under the skilful treatment of DIR. r.
Q. Massenburg the patient is now much improved
and il is hoped he may soon entirely recover.
--Dr.F. w. Patterson, of the Sd dist, who last
week attended the meeting of the Dutch Friesan
Cattle Association at Detroit, Michigan, returned
on Wednesday. He had q very enjoyable trip but
experienced intensely cold weather. The DR..
was in Towsontown ON Thursday and called at
The UNION Office. He is an enthusiast on the
subject of Dutch Friesans and has the only herd
of these cattle in Maryland.
"A great many people in Baltimore county
are singing the following fefrain just now:
want to be P. NJ,
And with the P. Ms stand;
An ink pad on the table,
stamper in my hand.
And there before the letters
I'll work with glowing face
And thank the great unterrifed
For giving me the place.
Mr.. Thos. ]. Hunt, of Hampstead, Carroll
county, was in Towsontown on Tuesday and called
at The UNION Office. He is just on his way home
from the New Orleans Exposition, where he spent
about a week, and was greatly pleased with what
he saw. He says there is no truth in the state
ment, which appeared in Baltimore paper that
hotel charges in that city are exorbtant. He
stopped at first class hotel and paid So 90 per day,
which he did not consider too high, considering
the accommodations. Mr.. Hunt is a son of the
late Wiley Hunt, of this county, and is success
full business man in Hampstead.
The Maryland Central Railroad authori.
ties have perfected arrangements with the B. &
o. Company to carry their passengers to and from
Washington on the 4th of March at greatly re-
duced rates. The fare from Towsontown for the
round trip, including transportation across the
city to Camden Station, will be S1.55, with cor
responding reductions from all other stations.
Besides the regular morning trains south on the
Maryland Central an extra will be put on, leav-
ing here shortly before s, returning late in the
evening. The B. & o. will run trains every
ten minutes during the early part of the day, and
those who go to the Inauguration from here can
be landed in Washington inside of two hours.
"A young man named Robert Yarwood was
arrested at Barnum's Hotel, Baltimore, the other
day, charged with robbing a Canadian bank in
which he had been employed, of $4,000. few
days before his arrest, in company with a Balti-
more business man, took tea at the residence of
well known gentleman in this county. He is a
young man of fine address and polished manners,
but il was noticed by lady member of the fam-
ly that he was i'll at and evidently had some
thing preying upon his mind. Yarwood was not
surprised at his arrest and made no objection to
being taken to Canada. He had spent all his
money and wanted to get back home. He has
mother and sister living in Belleville.
