Balt,mora County Memb

Baltimore County Members.-The Sum-
day American gives brief fsketches of all the mem
bers Of the Legislature and has the following to
say of thos from this county: "Baltimore coun-
ty has a live delegation. John Hubner, the men,
Der from Catonsville, is an outspoken representa-
tive. He says what he thinks, never mincing his
words. Indeed, sometimes he is very plain. He
generally hits from the shoulder especially when
he-thinks he has discovered snake. James j.
Lindsay is the only one of the last delegation re-
turned this time. He is one of the youngest and
also one of the brightest members. Squire Pole
is one of the most highly respected members in
the House. He is genial. honest old gentleman,
who does what he thinks right. DR.. Baldwin is
a very clever gentleman and an attentive member.
Illness has prevented his attendance during the
latter part of the session. Mr.. O'Hara differs from
his colleagues in that he looks moro to the safe
side of legislation. He will take no chances.
Sometimes he votes with the "coterie." Walter
Townsend is the anmating spirit of the delega-
ton. He is always in good spirits, and is very
much liked"

Fullerton, 18th District.-Part of the fam
lily of Mr.. John farbert have been suffering Fl ON
malaria but under the careful attention of DR..
A. Y. Whiteford, they are rapidly convaescing
The DR.. is also attending Mr.. Chas. Amos, who

though he is yet unable to move his right arm or
leg.
A party was given on Thursday evening of last
week b Miss Clara Lambright, at the residence
of her brother-n- law, Mr.. Chas. Mccormick, and
all present were well pleased with the evenings
enjoyment, which consisted of games and vocal
and instrumental music. About IL o'clock the
guests were invited to the dining room where they
proceeded to relieve the to BILE of its great variety
and abundance of good things. The time passed
so pleasantly that the night was far advanced be-
fore the happy company separated.
Mrs. Chas. Van Cleaf has been at Fallston for
the past week, where she was summoned to the
bed side of her mother who is suffering from doh
iberia. Her absence from the debating society
was greatly regretted.
Mr.. Samuel Fuller died about o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon, of sottening of the brain, brought
on by maarial fever and dyspepsia. He was
a highly esteemed citizen and had many friends.
His death will be great loss to the family, of
which he has been the main stay since the death
of bis brother. Alex. Fuller, about one year ago.
The debating society discussed the question
Which is exposed to the greater hardships, the
soldier or the sailor? Decided 3 to 2 in favor of
the sailor. A motion to meet every two weeks
was voted to ''be laid under the table" by large
majority. The fishing party will be considered
hereafter. N'MPoRT.

"The melancholy days are Ger,
The saddest of the year,
Of yailino winds and naked wOf


And meadows brown and scar
In our latitude March is @ winter month in all the
essential elements that 60 to make up that season
of the year, for in it we have more frost, keen
winds, snow and ice than in November. Philo-
sophically, such weather cannot last long, and
had not computed it, the returning birds, burst
ing catkins and greening grass would tell us the
glad springtime is near. In looking back upon
the past winter one finds "upon the whole" a
reasonably moderate one. Crops and stock have
come fairly through it. Wheat, rye and grass are
looking well, better than at this date last year,
and with fair prices farmers may have q remu-
nerative season. Does less hours Of occupation
and more pay for the knights and "Princes" of
Labor mean will it effect paying prices for food

President CleveIand's s recent visit to San Domin.
go Point was doubtless prompted in the main by
the warning Secretary Manning's illness gave,
but whatever the cause he showed his good taste
in selecting for purposes of relaxation the shores
of the Gunpowder, so celebrated in sporting and
gastronomc circles for its feeding grounds for the
strong flying and toothsome canvas back. The
President had good sport and enjoyed himself, if
he in local opti,n county, and his COM
pIacency in the distribution of autographs has so
enlivened and exhilerated the people of the little
railway station near by that they intend to give
up voting for Jackson and go for "Grover" from
this time forth and forever more.
The slopes of the deep cut on the B. & o., OPP
posite VIM. Crossmores, which has caused so
much trouble and expense to the company and
contractors in the past, still continues to slip and
slide, compelling the daily of train of cars,
engine and largo force of workmen to keep the
tracks clear. The cut runs through strata of
peculiar clay, variously coored whie, black, red,
blue and yellow and tinted. Exposure to mois
ture causes it to swell like lime and where given
lowest level and spreads. AS a last resort retain
Ing walls of extra heavy masonry have been de-
cded upon for the entire cut and it is trusted they
may prove effectual, if only to relieve Mr.. Cross
mores lively fears of waking some morning to find
his farm moved on to the railroads right of way.

is very i'll with dropsy.
1t is reported that Mr.. Lint Kelly has bought
the house and lot of Mr.. Hiehle, situated ON the
Middletown road, for 500.
The most important event of last week was the
baptism, by immersion, of twelve persons, lately
converted at the Baptist meeting. 1t took place
at the dam Of Mr.. John Miller, on 25th ult. The
single ladies were dressed in white and the mar
ried ones in black. The weather was not very
fav orabe. Quite large number of spectators
were present. AS soon the weather becomes
warmer there others desirous of baptism.
There is less money afoat at this annual set,
tling day, viz: lst of April, "a Pennsylvania Gus
tony than has been for a number of years.
The farmers are ecOnomizing and making but
few improvements. This will be felt by the i'm
plement and fertilizer venders.
l was amused at hearing two important gran
gers speak of the most profitable crops. One said
buckwheat and apples paid him the best, while
the other, who advocates home consumption, pri-
ded himself on beans, the cheapest food to raise
crop of children upon. This caused a smile to
pass over the the faces of the master of near by
grange noted for big wheat crops, and the hill
side farmer who had just realized on big lot Of
rye and bundled straw.
The general prevalence of colds is keeping the

Hebbville, I'd District.-Mr. Joshua Meekins
died suddenly on March 23d, at 10 o'clock p. M,
of hemorrhage, and was buried on the 25th in the
Hebbvile cemetery, aged SO years and IL days.
The funeral sermon was preached in ST. Luke 5
M. Il. Church by Rev Page Milburn. The de-
ceased leaves widow and eleven children, three
of whom are married and four quite small and de
pendent Mr.. Meekins was old and highly
respected citizen of this community. His funeral
was largely made up of our oldest citizens, whose
locks have whitened with the frosts of many win
ters.
Quite serious accident occurred in this com
munity few days ago. Nellie f. Ritter. quite
prepossessing little girl of six years, fell into
bucket of boiling water, dreadfully scalding her
right limb from the knee to the hip, which o ter
riby shocked her nerves as to cause her death on
the Oath. She was buried on the 25th, Rev. II. N.
Greninger preaching the funeral sermon. No
doubt many remember that about six months ago
Mrs Sarah A. Ritter, mother Of little Nellie, com
mitted suicide by cutting her throat while labor
ing under alteration of mind. Little Nellie
was then taken to Mr.. Wm. Edward Widerman's,
where the accident happened.
Mr.. George Saumenig, while driving up Cal
verton hill on Friday of last week, had his foot
caught urder the front wheel of the wagon, and
had it not been for his great dexterity and pres
ence of mind bis limb would have been terribly
crushed, but fortunately he only received bad
strain Of his ankle.
Our new store, recently established by Messrs.
August Detmer and Henry Loose, collapsed last
week, and the business has all returned to Mr..
William Piel.
The pupils of the White Grounds private school
had gala time of it on March Goth. The teacher
gave them a treat and the entire afternoon to play
which was entered into with youthful zest and
greatly enjoyed by all.
Owing to the nclemency of the weather the
White Grounds Literary Society held no meeting
Friday night of last week. Several young ladies
and gentlemen passed the greater part of the
evening in singing and pleasant conversation.
The people of this section as perhaps through
out the entire country are very much excited over
the present capital and labor muddle and fear a
general strike. But inasmuch as Jay Gould, the
railroad king, has accepted the proposition of Mr.
Powderly, president of the Knights of Labor, to
submit their differences to arbitration, there need
be no fear of general strike. In all probability
erhitrotinn will take tho nlace nf strikes in this
future, and oil differences between capital ana
labor will be amicably settled without destruction
of life or property, as was the case year or two
ago But if the working classes fail to have theil
comparative rights and privileges amicably ad
justed by arbitration, let them leave the old po
litcal parties, form party of their own, and put
in Office such will make poor mems laws
and not all rich mems and corporations laws
The great wonder is that they have not done this
long ago instead of fooling with strikes every
year. L.
