sHIPLEY ITEMS.

The snow of Monday has been very refresh
ing to the growing grain, which had been
subject to the bleak north winds for several
days.
Last Saturday night Messrs. Grove J. Ship
Icy and John G. Cook (about the same time
in the evening" each had narrow escape
from coal oil, the former from the upsetting
of large studio lamp, breaking the shade and
globe into many pieces; but timely aid pre-
vented what bid fair to be an explosion; and
the latter from upsetting large coal oil Ian
tern in the cellar while getting some potatoes
for neighbor. The oil of the lantern ran
profusely out, and took fire as it ran toward
the centre of the cellar. There being plenty
of help at hand, the fire was kept from the
straw and other dry tinder therein. The
paper covers of several earthen vessels in the
cellar were burnt nearly off, being the only
damage except general scare up.

OWEN SMITH,

A letter from Mr. Wilson Shaffer, Of Back
River Neck, Baltimore county, has the fol,
lowing concerning Owen Smith, the eolored
man who was fatally injured last week by
being run over by wagon:
The colored man, Owen Smith, who was
accidentally killed last week, while driving
Mr.. l.. W. Rinehart's team, and which you
reported, was formerly our old and faithful
servant, and we deem it only just to add a
few lines, if you will please to print il for US.
He always talked of his name as Owen, mot
Uriah) Smith, and he did not enlist in the
federal army to our knowledge, my father
having paid several times to protect him from
the drafts. He was kind and industrious, and
always made his task easy by working slowly,
although diligently. Hew economical, yet
not parsimonious, and thereby had accqmu-
lated a nice little sum for rainy day-always
saving he would use it when old.
Of course he had his faults, as we all have,
vet we claim he was good and useful colored
man sloy to become aggressive, and easy to
reproye. In our darkest hour Of tribulatlonl,
be remained tepaeiously-and had just called
around to see all of US, as he put it. May he
rest In peace, and we further trust that his
burial place may be marked with suitable
tomb

Mr.. Jacob Slorp arrived home few days
since from the Maryland Infrmary, where he
had been confined for two weeks undergoing
very severe operation. A large tumor or
polypus had grown in his nose to such pro-
portions as to effect seriously his speech and
breathing, and make it necessary for him to
undergo the painful operation of having it re-
moved by prying or burning with hot irons.
He was under the treatment of Prof. Donald
son, and Is now doing as well as could be ex-
pected The growth had been coming ON for
thirty years, and is said to have been one of
the largest ever known of the kind.

The paper is one ofsuch an unusual character
that nothing has been done with it. Its gen
uineness is not questioned, we believe. The
Orphans Court took no action in regard to
it, and JAS A. C. Bond, ESQ.,, Mrs. Covers
counsel, is examining the paper in the light
of the law, and will in short time advise in
the matter.
The paper bears no analogy to that brought
