Kingsville, 18th District.-Work on the
Belair and Jerusalem turnpike is progressing
rapidly, under the supervision of Mr.. Joseph
Snyder. The road il graded nearly to Kingsville.
To designate the dangerous places on the road,
the company has whitewashed rocks, trees, panels
of fence, &C., to put the traveller on his guard
This is said to be German custom, and no doubt,
good one.
The BALTIC. & Ohio R. R. Company has finished
grading through Col. Taylor's Mount Peru farm,
and the new depot grounds at that place are well
under way.
The sub mail contractor from Fallston to Perry
Hall, via Kingsvie, &C., has thrown up his con-
tract We had no mail on Monday last.
An agent, representing w. H. Smith, U. S.
Mail contractor on route from Gwinn to Kings
Vile, (service to begin July 1st) has in this
ton worked the same little game that was play
ed on our people four years ago, Extending and
curtailing" mail routes to the advantage of the
contractor. We have, or will have, just what we
want, IAN early maiD and it seems unjust that
stranger should come here and take from US that
which we had so mucL difficulty in obtaining.
Mrs. Woodlands new house at Upper Falls is
we'll under way. Mr. Charles H. Thompson, Of this
place, is the contractor.
Farmers in this neighborhood are very back
ward with their spring work, and but little corn
has yet been planted. Wheat oats and grass will
be short, and there is much complaint at the
scarcity of pasture
Strawberry culture is getting to be quite
enterprise over here. Mr. E. ]. Bell is cultivat-
ing about eight acres, and Mr.. V. B. Rittenheuse
about sixteen acres.
The people throughout this section were greatly
surprised at the verdict in the case CATALAN Tom,"
tried in Towsontown last Week. Every one
thought it would be murder in the first degree.

Glyndon, 4th District. = Glyndon still
blooms, despiteits envious neighbors. Our board
ing houses are being filled by people from the
city, who have become fascinated with the beau
tful surroundings, the pure air and other attrac-
tions.
Mr.. Wagner, the mail carrier between Glyndon
and Reisterstown, who met with such painful
accident last week, caused by his team running
away, is improving and will soon be able to re-
sumo his duties.
A correspondent of last weeks Voice who signs
himself "Old Hundred" has taken up the cudgle
against Glyndon, and hints that your correspon-
dent is little too previous, if not too fresh. I
would be glad to make the acquaintance of this
antique specimen provided the same old tune has
not been sung too long. If he wants to buy a
lot in Glyndon let him come over and attend
sale soon to be held here. He can be accommo-
dated, if his purse is long enough, because he
must know by this time that ground can't be
bought here for nothing-at least wind is not re-
garded in Glyndon as a circulating medium
Talk is cheap, but it takes money to buy lots in
this favored locality. G.S

Warren, 9th District.-As it is customary
for cemeteries to receive an annual dressing at
this season of the year, Poplar has not been for
gotten, and is likewise undergoing q thorough
cleansing, and many of the graves which have be-
come fattened by the lapse of time, have been re-
stored to their original form. coat of white
wash will be given the surrounding palings, all of
which promises to be the best dressing it ever
ceived. So mnch for the new trustees, who have
exhibited such taste and enterprise. There will
be something now to admire and to attract the at
tention of friends of the deceased to enlarge the
decorations of the graves which have already
begun.
The factory, which has been running with re-
duced number of hands, is now about putting
more machinery in order and will increase the
number of operatives soon as the motive power
can be brought to a state of manufacture.
Mrs. Bull, recently deceased and whose obituary
appeared in your last issue, was long a resident
of this place. Her funeral was attended by q
large concourse of friends and relatives who as
sembed in the church, where feeling discourse
was delivered by Rev. Joel Brown, appropriate to
the occasion. Her remains were inferred in the
church cemetery.
The prospect for an abundant fruit crop is quite
cheering. The bloom is now encircling the trees
dffusing fragrance all around. The growing
wheat is very irregular, some fields presenting
fair and promising appearance, while others wear
an aspect unpleasant to behold.
Corn planting is still progressing, many have
done, others are hurrying forward, so that time
and season may not find them behind. U.

may come along and buy them. guarantee
that they will be treated kindly by our people.
The accident which happened at Montebello,
the residence of the late John W. Garrett, on
Saturday last, was caused by carclessness. A
number of workmen were engaged grubbing up
trees and having cut all the roots of large one,
left it standing and commenced work on another,
when puff of wind came and blew the first one
down, striking one of the workmen and killing
him instantly. PRESIDENT.

Excursion to DEVILS Lake.

Agent st. John says that an ex-
cursion train will leave Wahpeton
Sunday morning next at 3 o'clock
for DEVILS Lake, returning Sunday
night some time, round trip "a, and
50 extra for sleeper. This is an ex-
cellent opportunity to visit an i'm
portant section of North Dakota
and the terms are very reasonable,
it being 1872 miles to the lake, TAX
ing in several important towns in
the Red River valley. We under
stand that Wahpeton and Brecken-
ridge will turn out a goodly
number on this occasion. Will ar
rive there at 1920 a. m. The usual
round trip costs, $500. A sleeper
will be left here Saturday evening,
that berths may be secured.

Wahpeton Richand County Thursday June IS 1885

Last week Justice Gray, j. w.
Hayward, Hon. j. G. Pyatt, and
Chas. r. Loomis went to Battle
Lake fishing, and brought back prob
ably, $50 pounds of fine fish, en-
abling them to treat the most of
their friends to a mess OF two of
fine fish. And these gentlemen tell
q pretty good story on the justice.
It seems that lie got a vigorous
"bite" and in hasty preparation to
haul his fishship to the boat, SUR
prised the party by taking very
pretty header into the deep blue
sea! Finally Franz: came to the
surface and after blowing off con-
siderably was pulled into the boat,
very, very wet. but happy as ever.

WalpetOn's Government.

The question Of Wahpeton issuing
ten thousand dollars more in bonds.
is an interesting one. Including
school purposes, the city is now
bonded for 100000. There is no
mistake about the fact that the
town started as all towns start,
without capital, and had to be de-
veloped, incurring an expense. The
board OF aldermen to-day assure us
that after looking into the financial
problem Of the city and figuring the
best possible, that before the tax for
1885 is available or revenue from
any source, the place will be indebted
fully $4,000, covered by warrants
bearing ten per cent interest. Now
dropping all else we are confronted
by this debt, and like a prudent
man in predicament, who gets out
by the surest way and quickest plan
possible, it would seem that if the
bonds could be foated at anything
like reasonable rates, it would be
better to borrow the money and put
the matter in business like shape.
The sort of government the town
has should sut no figure in the pies
ent question. The present alder
men are not to blame nor to be
complimented for what has been
done in the creation OF this debt;
they are endeavoring to do the best
for the city, in the bond matter.
The city charter is a legitimate
child, made so by a meagre majority
from a popular uninfluenced vote.
We voted against it because we did
not think city government neces-
sary to the prosperity of Wahpeton
not at all. And while there would
he no harm but good in a proper
charter and just administration un-
der it, we do not fully approve of
the present administration, under
this one. We think the plan of pay
ing a salary, much or little, to al
dermen and mayor, under Wahpe-
toms circumstances, wrong. And
when perfectly competent and
worthy taxpayer would accept the
duties of chief of police and street
commissioner for $500, OF $50
month, we think it wrong to bestow
the favor upon a non-taxpayer at
$1,000. And there are dozen men
to take the place at $50 per month,
the year round. The special or
night police should have $s720, or
SEQ per month. And we believe
there are. now more policemen on
the force than are needed. The
chief and special under ordinary
circumstances should be enough,
and since the water company has
man on duty, he should offset danger
from that source. The city attor-
ney, engineer and clerk should be
properly paid. And the city treas
urer should collect the tax of the
city, relieving the county treasurer.
These are times that demand econo-
my, and the bonds would be more
cheerfully voted, did the taxpayers
see rigid economy practiced.

The ladies Of the Congregational
church are pushing their arrange
ments right along for the dinner the
Fourth, having secured the use of
Hayward's building in which to
serve the same. 1t is pretty well
understood that there is ample room
for two immense tables in this spa
c!cus building, and understand that
the ladies will be thoroughly pre-
pared to fill the position as the oc-
casion demands, serving dinner
fit to set before king and his hosts.
This will prove more handy and
cheaper than bringing dinner to
the city on this occasion. All this

Destruction Of the Homestead.

The old ''gambrel-roofed house"
exists no longer. l remember saving
something, in one of a series of papers
published long ago in this magazine,
about the experience of dying out of a
house-of leaving It forever, as the soul
dies out of the body. We may die out
of many houses, but the house itself
can die but once: and so real is the life
OF q house, SO real to one who has
dwelt in it; more especially the life of
the house which held him in dreamy
infancy, in restless boyhood, in passion
ate youth-so real. 1 say, is its life that
it seems as if something like a soul of il
must outlast its perishing frame,
The slaughter of the "old gambrel.
rooted house, was, I am ready to ad-
NIT, a case of justiiiable homicide. Not
the less was it to be deplored nv all
who love the memories of the past.
With its destruction arc obliterated some
of the footprints of the heroes and
martyrs who took the first steps in the
long and bloody march which led us
through the wilderness to the promised
land of independent nationality. Per
sonally, l havaa right to mourn for il
as a part of my life gone from me-
