Making Minister'S Heart Glad.-The
members and friends of Great Falls Circuit, M.
E. Church, paid their pastor, Rev. J. G. Nicholson
a visit on Tuesday evening before Christmas
Nearly all the churches on the Circuit were well
represented, the visitors coming in wagons and
carriages and bringing with them such things as
would be calculated to make glad the hearts of
the minister and his family. When the donations
were unloaded they were found to consist of
groceries of all kinds in abundance, hams, beef
chickens butter, and an endless variety of useful
articles, enough, perhaps, to last until the meet
ing of the next Conference. Some also brought
comfortable sums in cash some wood to cook
the substantials that had been left and others
locked the chicken house and put in their dona-
tions in the shape of live poultry. And then the
faithful horse not forgotten, his store house
having been supplied with corn, oats, mi-feed,
&C. Several hours were very pleasantly spent
with the pastor, and all felt glad that the visit
had been so agreeable and profitable. Addresses
were made by Rev. Mr.. Nicholson and Thomas
Gorsuch, after which the visitors departed for
their homes feeling satisfied that they had made
glad the heart Of their respected pastor. T. G..

An Owl That Was Buzzard.-A we'll
known Dulany's Valley farmer had rather funny
experience a few days ago. Some bird or ''var-
mint" had been raiding his poultry yard and had
carried off number of fowls. One night, while
on watch for the intruder, he saw, or thought he
saw, q large bird perched in the top branches of
sycamore tree and he at once concluded that
this was the owl that had been depredating upon
his poultry. He went to the house for his gun,
procuring which he advanced cautiously upon the
the enemy, crawling considerable distance to get
within rarge, wnen he piazed away and the bird
received a fatal wound. The victim did not fall
to the ground, but lodged in the branches of the
tree, where it remained until the next morning,
when, after great exertion, he managed to dis
lodge it, when he found that it was not bird of
prey but one of altogether die rent species and
entirely unknown to him. The members Of his
family we're summoned and they "sat on" the
bird as a sort o. jury of inquest. They were
about bringing in verdict, judging from the head
of the Bird thatit was a bald. eagle, when an
other appeared on the scene and upset this theory
by declaring thai the thing was nothing more nor
less than turkey buzzard and informed them
that its mission in life not to carry off live
poultry, and that it had never been known to be
guilty of anything of the kind. The farmer gets
red in the face whenever he hears any one
say anything about owls, buzzards or eagles.

after life they would be fully armed to battle with
the world and wiring fortune from the very mantle

Barn Burned.-At an early hour on Satur-
day morning last the large frame barn on the farm
of Joseph E. Parks, on the old Manor road, about
two miles south of Sweet Air. took fire from some
unknown cause and was entirely consumed, to-
gether with its contents, embracing hay, corn,
oats, farming implements, wagons, harness, &C.,
everything being destroyed except the live stock
and one spring wagon, which were gotten out with
difficulty. Several other smaller farm buildings,
standing near the barn, were also consumed and
it is believed that the dwelling would have met
the same fate but for the fact that the wind was
not blowing directly towards it. The loss will
reach fully $4,000. Insured in the Agricultural
Company, of Watertown, N Y, for something
over g, 900.

Very Serious Cutting Atfray.-0n Christ
mas evening very serious affray occurred at the
store and tavern of Henry Hess, on the York
turnpike, q short distance below Cockeysville,
between a young man named Burnside Wilson
and another named Edward Frantz. tits alleged
that Wilson entered Hess's store, where several
men were congregated, and said that he could
whip any man in the place. FranH, with whom
Wilson had had difficulty year two before,
was present, but no one took any notice of Will
sons remark. Wilson then approached Frantz
and slapping him in the face said he meant the
language for him, at the same time drawing a
pistol. Frantz quickly drew a small knife from
his pocket and before Wilson had time to fire he
used it with terrible effect upon him, infctng
serious gashes in the neck and about the face from
which the blood flowed in torrents. Wilson's
wounds are serious but not of a fatal nature. No
arrests have been made up to this time.
