A 11s,cky Encounter.
The night was extremely dark, fol
the stars that twinklcl in the bleak sky
had no power to light the dull earth.
Nervously, with Il beating heart, a
young girl hurried down a country

London bred and had the town fear o

every bush might conceal Il thief. EN'

ing crops clean and friable, and do not let them

orations, the bright happy faces of the children,
made picture that will not soon be forgotten by

Richard Vincent, $50 bouquets. Each scholar
was accordingly the bearer of beautiful bou-
quot. After marching, the schools seated,
and the morning was spent in singing, Rotations
and responsive readings, in which the scholars
acquitted themselves creditably. Mr.. Kinsey
Asher and Mr.. Williams acted as choristers, Mr..
Neumayer as cornetist and Miss Williams as or
ganist. Rev. Thos. L. Poulson, D. D., of Balti-
more, Rev. E. Richardson, former pastor, and
Rev. A. j. Gill, of Woodbury., made interesting
addresses to the children. The exercises were
concluded by singing the "Sweet Bye and Bye"
and benedction by the Pastor.
Lunch baskets were then brought forth, to the
contents of which all did ample justice. Tho
afternoon was spent in singing, socialintercourse
and toward evening the crowd began to disperse,
all expressing themselves as delighted with the
days exercises. N.

A Very Good Grow Story.-A correspond
ent writing from Reisterstown to The Sun, says {:
"Mr. William E. Wyatt, of Walnut Hill farm, at
Timber Grove Station, on the Western Maryland
Railroad, last spring found lame crow in one of
his fields and took it to the house and cared for
it. The crow entirely recovered and seemed very
grateful to the family for their kindness. 1t be-
came a great pet, and would hop around and
jump on their shoulders, singing all the while.
[Who in thunder ever heard crow sing? They
named it Caucus" and it would always come
when it was called. Early every morning it
would come into the window and cav while the
family was rising. A few days ago small gold
watch, belonging to one of the ladies' was missing
from the bureau in her room. Finally she found
it at the barn in the hay loft, where the crow had
carried it. Saturday it went into one of the
rooms and tore up a novel it found on the table,
and opened the Bible"

Kingsville, 18th District.-A runaway acct
dent occurred near here on Thursday afternoon of

of the party was not killed. Mr.. Daniel Cain,
his wife and two children, one aged months
and the other years, and two ladies, were re-
turning from the Sabbath school reunion which
was held at Camp Chapel that day. In descend
ing the falls hill on the Belair and Jerusalem
turnpike, one of the holding back-straps broke,
causing the horse to runaway and upsetting the
wagon over an embankment near the Gunpowder
bridge The youngest child received ugly
wound on the head but the other occupants es-
capped with slight injuries. DIR. Altvater is doubt
full of the child's recovery. The place whore the
accident occurred is quite dangerous and the at
tention of the turnpike company should be called
to the matter.

ADVERTISING THAT PAYs.-Money never was
made advertising worthless article; the public
soon find it out and that is the end of it. The
article must have true merit and stand the test of
use. That is why it always pays to advertise the
Remington force pump; where one is sold another
is almost sure to be purchased. They work well
and easily-have no packing in them to get out
of order, are easily put in the we'll without any
extra cost to the purchaser and in fact it is just
what the farmer needs and fills long felt want
By having one, water is supplied to the family,
to the bath room and to the stock, all at moder-
ate cost, by applying to the southern agency, SO
Sharp street, Baltimore.

Maryland State Fair.-The Maryland Ag-
ricutural and Mechanical Association will unite
this year in holding fair with the association of
Washington county, beginning on the 2lst of
October According to an act of the Legislature,
the State association is obliged to hold fair
in every three years at Pimlico. In case the
association fails to do this the property is to be
sold and the money divided between the State of
Maryland, the city of Baltimore and private in
dividuals who have advanced money to liquidate
the indebtedness upon the land and improvements.
Altogether there is about $125, 900 invested at
Pimlico by the State association. The Legisla-
ture of the State first contributed $4,000, with
the understanding that the ground was to revert
to the State in case the terms as to holding fair
were not complied with. This was not money
enough, and the city of Baltimore was applied to
for an appropriation of $4,000. This was given,
and an arrangement made that the city was to
have portion of the proceeds in case the ground
was Sold In 1870 the State increased its appro-
priation $4,000, making $4,000 in all. Still
the association was hampered by debt. The Mary
land Jockey Club, which was using the ground as
a race-course, (the Agricultural Association only
needing it during fair week, y came to the rescue,
and members of that club, or most all members
of the club raised about $65, 900 to liquidate the
Indebtedness, they also to have a share of the
money if the Agricultural Association allowed
the land to be sold on account of a non-comph-
with the terms as to exhibitions. The
grounds are held by board of trustees represent
ing the State and city of Baltimore. The Mary
land Jockey Club have lease upon the grounds
which does not expire until 1889, at an annual
rental of $500. Mr.. Frank Brown, president of
the State Agricultural Association, says that, al
though everything is worked with the utmost re-
gard to economy, the fairs which the association
have to hold once in three years do not pay
There are so many county fairs held now that the
interest which used to centre in State fair does
not now exist. 1t is understood that the jockey
club do not wish that the grounds should be sold,
and do not intend that the agricultural associa-
ton shall get into such hole as to necessitate
sale, especially as the grounds, outside the State
and city, virtually belong to the jockey club now
