Live Stock Report.

Reported Tor me Uemocratlc Advocated
have been called upon from several parts
of the county for treatment of swine plague
which has broken out in the past few weeks,
to an alarming extent, l would advise owners
of hogs to use a preventative and not wait
until the disease gets too much Roadway.
As all the reports from the Agricultural
Department at Washington go to show that
an ounce Of prevention is worth a pound Of
cure, that is whep the disease is known to be
in neighborhood, to try and stop the spread
oft by separating the well from the sick ones,
using high and dry places for them with plenty
of pure water and clay, as clay is one of our
best antiseptics, and the hog knows it. Dc
not breed too close, be careful in that, there
is law of nature that, where great diver
gence has taken place from any parent stock,
tendency to revert must take place, or the
creature must suffer from the lea taLiOnis ma
turd,
would advise disipfectapts with the pre-
venitive agency, such as Poland Hog Pow
ders, also Chlorate Potash, to break up the
sore throat and fever in the early stages of
tho disease.
Since my last reportI have had a great
many cases of epizootic, catarrh and colds
among horses, no doubt owing to the wet and
cbangeable weather. None proved fatal.
Health of cattle generally is good There are
some few isolated cases of pleuro pneumonia
Reports shows that in small districts in H.
linois $4,000 worth of swine have died in
one season, 1t seems that the plague is on
the increase In our state. 1t surely needs
attention. T, II, BANKARD.

Dwelling Burned.

The house of Joseph Knott, colored, at
Carrollton Station, on the Western Maryland
Railroad, about four miles from Westminster,
was burned last Monday night, together with
all the contents. Knott was away and his
wife was sick in bed. The children were
alone, and at bedtime, when they went to put
out the light, they blew down the chimney Of
the lamp, causing an explosion, which set fire
to the house. Knott is represented to be a
worthy man, and citizen of the neighbor-
hood has made an appeal for assistance in his
behalf, KNOTS wife has several children,
one about two weeks old, and is sick herself,
and the family is defendelt on his labor for
support. His loss is a severe one, and it is
said the necessities of the family appeal to
the charitably inclined. Contributions given
or sent to this Office will be forwarded to the
family.

A stabbing ARRAY occurred at Union Bridge
last Sunday evening. The parties to the affair
were George Leidlich, a barber, and Marcellus
Repp, a liveryman. While Repp was taking
horse to the stable Leidlich called out
whoa" and the horse stopped. Repp told
him not to do that again, and Leidlich said
he would, and did stop the horse in the same
manner when Repp passed short time after.
Repp then went over to where Leidlich was
and proceeded to deal him several severe
ticks with his fist hitting him above the eyes.
Leidlich returned the assault with knife,
inficting three severe gashes on the lower ribs
and side. The largest cash was six or seven
inches long.
States Attorney Henning and Deputy Sher-
ifP Zeiber vent to Union Bridge on Thursday
morning. Leidlinh surrendered himself and
was bailed before Justice Crabhs in the sum
of $500 for the action of the grand jury. ].
j; Lang became his surety. Repp is charged
with assault and will give bail as soon as he
is able to be out.

The ADVOCATE noticed two weeks ago the
unanimous nomination of ]. A. Goulden, Esq,
former resident of Carroll, for the Senate
BY the Democrats of the 44th district-Pitts-
burg, Pa. The district is largely Republican,
but Mr.. Goulden has written an able letter of
acceptance, which will commend him to the
voters of the district, and besides his Repub-
lican opponent is unpopular. These two CIR
cumstances, in connection with the fact that
Mr.. Goulden is very popular with the people
in general, has given the Democrats hope OF
carrying the district.

baugh sitting behind them pistol in hand.
They drove to Justice Motter's Office. 1t was
soon learned that the colored man had been
at the residence of Mr.. Thomas Kuhns, about
two miles north of Manchester. Mr.. K. was
not at home, and the mans strange actions
frightened Mrs. Kuhns, and she sent a little
girl TO call their neighbors. Messrs. Rohr-
baugh and Streavig started immediately, and
seeing the man crossing held went In pur-
suit, overlook him and brought him to town.
The man had done nothing to make HIM
amenable to the law, but his actions and talk
indicated insanity, and he is not fit subject
to be permitted to run at large through the
country. He was taken under the tramp law
and committed to the House of Correction for
two months, whittier he was taken last Tuesday

Base Ball.

The strong Woodbury. club began game
here on Wednesday with the Brooks team,
and left the field in the It'll inning, after two
men were out. Gist caught runner between
first and second base, and the Woodberrys
commended that Gist had made balk. The
runner did not think so, for he tried his best
to escape being put out. Umpire Grouse de-
cided the man fairly out, and the Woodberrys
picked up their bats and left the field. The
game was then given to the Brooks club,
under the rules, by score of to 0.
The game was quite interesting up to that
time, and the actual score was to 6, with
two men on the visiting club out, none on
bases, and the Brooks club with their half Of
the inning to play.
Gist was rather wild, giving two men bases
and hitting two or three others. Some bad
fielding errors were also made by the Brooks
team. But three hits were made by the
Woodberrys, while the Westminsters had
made FIVE, Gist surprising the spectators by
making two good ones. Zepp made two, and
Miller and Straw each one.
Three of the Woodberrys struck out, and
of the Brooks nine Anders and Pharr each
struck out twice, and Bankert and Driscol
once each. Driscoll, who played centre field
for the Brooks team, made a fine catch.
This and the batting of Gist and Zepp were
the chief features of the game. Pharr had a
finger badly hurt in the third inning and gave
way to Coleman, the new player, who caught
we'll
The Woodberrys, by leaving the field,
saved themselves from an actual defeat, as it
was quite evident the home nine would out
bat them, and were running bases better,
The errors of the Westminster team were
costly, and of the six runs of the Woodherrys
none were earned. The Brooks club earned
their first run on hits by Miller and Zepp.
The Brooks club went to Frederick yester-
day to play the semi-professiona} club of that
place.
Driscoll having secured position on the

secured Coleman, Baltimore player. Cole
