Did not your correspondent make mistake in
stating that Fitzpatrick crossing on the N. G. K.
R., was stopping place for passengers and for
the purpose of taking on milk. There is no
switch at that place and no accommodations
whatever and if reports be true there is not likely
to be any improvement at that point for some
time to come.

Forging.-A correspondent asks the Turf
Field and Farm how he shall shoe his horse to
prevent his 0ver-reaching or forging. The editor
says: "For the first have him shod in front with
plain Shoes pretty light, and short on the toes
it is possible to get them without injury to the
feet After the shoe has been fitted, and before
it has been nailed on, have the toe chamfered to
about the same degree it would be worn in O
fortnight's ordinary use. Have the hind shoes
made heavy, with two-thirds of the weight in the
outside webs. This may be done by having them
wider. Have the heels we'll extended, the toe:
likewise, and bearing long, thin and low cak
This will obviate the forging. Then if he doe:
not carry out to suit you, have spurs attached to
the outside of the shoes and hang four ounce
weights to the feet. If he paces tighten the
weight of the SHOE"

Herd of Friesians Sold.-THE UNION stated
last week that the President had appointed DR..
F. W. Patterson, of the Sd district of Baltimore
county, an inspector Of cattle in the Bureau of
Animal Industry, of the Agricultural Department,
Washington. Since his appointment the DR.. has
sold his herd of Holstein Friesian cattle to Hon.
Charles B. Roberts, of Carroll county, and they
have been taken to his farm, near Uniontown,
that county. The herd consists of eleven cows, a
three months old calf and one bull: Mr.. Roberts
had the cattle inspected by surgeon from the
Department of Agriculture, who pronounced them
the finest herd he had seen in this country, and
healthy. We are sorry that Baltimore county
loses this valuable herd of CATTLE but it is pleas
ure to know that it has fallen into such excellent
hands.

A Very Narrow Escape.-The fine resi-
dence of Mr.. Chester B. Turnbull, about a mile
below Towsontown, made a very narrow escape
from destruction by fire on Monday evening last
The fire originated in third story room and is
supposed to have been caused by servant care
lessy throwing o lighted match on the carpet.
When Dissolved, about 9 O'Clock, the whole room
was in blaze. An alarm given, which was
promptly responded to by Mr.. II. c. Turnbull, Jr
who resides with his father several hundred yards
off, who hurried to his brothers house, accompa-
MED by several men employed about the place.
and also by Rev. W. II. H. Powers, who was
making call at the time. They took with them
several fire extinguishers and hand grenades and
it is thought that the prompt use of these with a
good supply of water from the tank in the house.
saved it from destruction. The fire got between
the plastering and weatherboarding and it was
reached with much difficulty, the dense smoke and
the gas thrown off by the chemicals in the extin-
guishers becoming almost overpowering and two
men who had been sent into the loft above were
almost overcome and had to be dragged out
Nothing but the energetic and we'll di ected efforts
of those present saved the house from entire des
truction. As might be supposed Mr.. Turnbulls
family was very much alarmed and will not soon
forget their experience of that night. The loss
will be trifing-perhaps not more than 5000.

What is a Clearing House P

In reply to correspondents inquiry
as to the object and business of a clearing
house, the New York Journal of Commerce
says "There are upward of sixty banks
in this city. Without clearing house
each of these would be obliged to make a
settlement with all the rest. Suppose the
A bank has checks and drafts on sixty
banks making balance in its favor amount
ing in the aggregate to $500, 200, but owes
the 61st bank the sum of $501 900 with
out this general clearance it must be sent
all over the city to collect this half mil
lion dollars and then adding $1,000 to it
must pay its debt But with clearing
house all it has to do is to find out whether
it is debtor or creditor on the whole and
pay that sum over In the case above de-
scribed, after the exchange had gone around
roonf,-it- womb found that TIT =
bank had nothing to collect, and had only
81 900 to pay. Instead of handling ST.
OO1 900 by receiving $500, 900 and paying
out 1901 900 it handles only 81 200. The
representatives Clerks of all the banks
meet in a large room. Each has little
desk with an outside ticket-hole. The
managers then start on their rounds,
and each exchanges slips with all the others.
When through, it is found who is debtor
and creditor in relation to the whole body,
and exactly how much. Those who are
debtors then pay in what theyowe, and the
clearing house pays it out to the creditors,
and not a cent is left on the counter. The
sum of three or four millions as resulting
balance will settle daily exchanges for $780,
100000, as only those who owe balance
on final settlement have to pay anything,
and only those who have credit on final
settlement will receive anything, and one
must exactly balance the other.
