Death of THOMAS z. Cover.

Mr.. Thomas f. Cover died at the Carlin
House, Frederick city, about 8 o'clock, last
Saturday morning, aged about fifty eight years.
Mr.. Cover was native of Carroll county.
He was the son of the late John Cover, and
was born in Middleburg district. Until about
six or seven years ago he was engaged in
milling at Double Pipe Creek land had accumu.
lated some thirty thousand dollars. He sold
out and went to Union Bridge. While there
he met with several severe financial reverses,
which had the effect of unsettling his mind.
When he had recovered somewhat he removed
to Frederick City, living at first with sister,
and afterward taking rooms at the Carlin
House. Mr.. Cover never quite recovered
from his mental troubles, but the immediate
cause of his death was carbuncle on the
back of his neck.
The deceased was unmarried. His only
brother, Mr.. Joseph Cover, died suddenly a
little more than two years ago in this city.
Two sisters survive him, Mrs. Elizabeth Bill
lingslea and Mrs. Emily Howard, both OF
Frederick, and both widows.
While Mr.. Cover took an active interest in
public affairs, he never held any public posi-
ton except as member of the Constitutional
Convention of 1867. y
His remains were inferred at Taneytown on
Tuesday morning, and his funeral was largely
attended by relatives and friends.

Burglaries in Westminster

In the early hours of yesterday (Friday)
morning, two business houses OF Westminster
were broken into, both on Main street, but at
widely different points.
The first burglary, most likely, was com
mitted at A. H. VENTS .jewelry store, 81
East Main street. The entrance was effected
by the front door. The thieves at first bored
holes through the door, and then with Ratchet
and chisel cut o large hole and tried to re-
move the lock. Failing in this the glass was
cut from the door. At this point they were
frightened off, most likely by persons return
ing from the fremen's demonstration at Lit
tlestown. One of them must have severely
cut his hand while working at the door, as
a number of blood stains we're discovered.
Mr. Wentz did not miss anything from his
store.
The other store broken into was Grant
Yinglings news depot, 95 West Main street;
Here the thieves effected an entrance, and
carried off quantity of cigars and tobacco.
At the residence of Mr.. John w. Nelson,
at 1854 West Main street, an attempt was made
to remove the lock from the front door.
They bored two holes, but each time struck
against iron, and failed to get the lock Oft:
They then went to a window, but 1t was tull
of flowers and they could not get in without
making noise, and left:
At WentZ's store they lett hatcnet anu
chisel, and at Mr.. Nelson's an augur. The
latter was recognized by Mr.. Jesse Shreeye
as his, and was stolen from his blacksmith
shop.
Officers Zeiber and Yingling arrested two
umbrella members on suspicion about
o'clock yesterday morning, and they were
committed by Justice G. W. Crapster for
hearing at O. clock in the afternoon. They
gave their names as Hugo Agren, of Pitts
burg, Pa, and Ed. Butler, of Philadelphia.

Joys and sorrows, it seems, no doubli but a
short time. To them it has been truly a

ton. Mr.. and Mrs. Schaetfer, who now re-
side at 81 Pennsylvania avenue, this city,

pirate remarks. and gave toast to the BRIDE

Our little village is still extant, nestled
among the hills of the head waters OF the
Patapsco river, from which it takes its name.
Although small country village it can boast
of containing bone and plaster factory, a
large country store, a church, schoolhouse,
hotel, postoffice, a blacksmith, a carpenter,
school teacher, shoemaker, a miller, barber,
two market men, physician and a surveyor.
Health in our vicinity is generally good,
although there has been more or less epidemic,
such as diphtheria, whooping cough, &C.,
among children.
Our school, under the management OF MIR.
NJ. J. Abbott, is in good condition and the
scholars improving.
The school commissioners have had our
school house repainted, so that what was
once an unsightly and unfit receptacle for
either scholars or teacher, is now at least
very decent, comfortable and respectable
house.
series of meetings began on last Sunday
evening at the Patapsco NJ. E. Church, under
the supervision of Rev. Mr.. Babcock, the
minister in charge Some have already pre-
sented themselves at the altar and the meeting
is growing in interest.
The literary part of our people contemplate
recognizing the Patapsco Lyceum shortly.
Some of our citizens have killed their
porkers We have not learned the weights
of them but will be able, we think, to open
the eyes of your correspondents in the pork
business before the season is over, as we have
heavy weights to come.
