some of the sprightliness of Catonsville may make
itself apparent. Towsontown and Annapolis

The first day of March was comparative
ly pleasant day, with scarcely enough wind to say
that the month "came in like lion," but by six
o'clock in the evening it commenced whooping it
up and we would fain believe that it did come in
like the aforesaid animal because we want TO see
it go out like the innocent creature that gave
Mary so much trouble. However, after our expe
rience of last week we are prepared for almost
anything. Evidently it is not the fate of Tow
sontown to be blown away, else we would not be
here day to tell the tale.
Fine Residence Burned.-The fine large
residence of Mr.. John Fangmeyer, situated on the
east side of the Resterstown turnpike, short
distance above 0wings' Mills, took fire about
O'Clock on Friday morning of last week, and was
entirely consumed, together with all its contents
except piano and few other articles which were
saved from the lower story. A son of Mr.. Fangmey-
er, who slept in the back part of the house, was
awakened by the presence of smoke in his room,
and at once got up and alarmed the family. The
wind was blowing gale at the time and the fire,
which appeared to have started in pantry ad-
joining the kitchen, spread with such rapidty
that the family escaped clad only in their night
clothes, every article of clothing, jewelry, &C.,
having been burned. There were twelve persons
in the house at the time and had the fire not been
discovered as soon as it was some of them would
almost certainly have lost their lives. The house
large brick structure with mansard root,
and all that remained after the fire the crack
ed and blackened walls. The family took tenn
porary refuge in the barn until the neighbors
were able to provide for them. Mr.. Fangmeyer
estimates his loss at fully $4,000, upon which
there is an insurance of $4,000 in the German
Company Of Baltimore. The origin of the fire is
a mystery.
Death of Highly Esteemed Lady.-As
heretofore announced the estimable wife of ex-
County Commissioner Benjamin L. Jordan, died at
the residence of her husband, in the 7th district,
on the 18th ult. A correspondent says: at is
with feelings of respect and sympathy, mingled
with sorrow, that record the death of Eliza, be-
loved wife of B. F. Jordan, who after months of
patient suffering, quietly breathed her last on
Wednesday, 18th. The family circle is broken,
loved one is gone, the husband and father as he
enters his abode will miss familiar face, the
mariner of his ioys and sorrows has left him to
