nent Building Association No. 2, of Baltimore
county, was held on Monday night, 4th inst, at

Horrible Suicide.-William Ramsey, an old
citizen of Fawn Grove, York county, committed
suicide in horrible manner on Friday of last
week. He was out in field cutting corn when
he took knife and cut terrible gashes on both
sides of his throat and on his arms. Not content
with this he went to large hickory tree in the
field and climbed to the the top of it, seating him
self upon limb. 1t is supposed he sat there un.
til be became exhausted from the loss of blood
when he fell to the ground, where his body was
found late in the afternoon. The blood stains on
the tree showed where the unfortunate man had
been sitting. Mr.. Ramsey was in good circum-
stances and was we'll advanced in years. Some
time ago he completed very fine house for him
self, it having cost him much more than he ex-
pected. Some of his investments in Baltimore
had turned out badly and it is believed that his
inability to realize from them to pay for his house
as he had expected to do, had so worked upon his
mind to dethrone his reason. Mr.. Ramsey'i
wife survives him.

Intolerable Dust.-The dust on the York
road is intolerable. In places between North
avenue and Govanstown the dust is from two to
five inches deep, and when disturbed in the slight
est manner penetrates everywhere. The road has
been deserted by pleasure vehicles except those
belonging to persons living along the pike, as it
is really disagreeable task to drive it. Those
living along the road complain of its condition,
and think the turnpike company should be com.
PEELED to have it watered. Ladies connot 60 out
with light colored dresses without having them
soiled in short while.-Baltimore Sun.
The above is only another case of trying to re-
move the mote from your neighbor's eye unmind-
full of the one in your own. Boundary avenue,
the principal drive to Druid Hill Park, is the
meanest and dustiest thoroughfare about the city,
yet we have never seen sprinklng cart upon it.
Why don't The Sun pay some attention to that
drive first After that it would come with bet
ter grace for it to find fault with roads in the
county. 1t would be quite an expensive job for
the turnpike company to water its road from the
Boundary say to Govanstown, while the city could
water eight or ten squares of Boundary avenue,
every afternoon during drought, at very tri-
fling outlay, having the appliances on hand to do
the work, with an abundance of water also.

Rossville, 18th District.-A protracted
meeting was commenced at Ebenezer Church on
last Sabbath, and the meeting at Orem's closed
on 30th ult
Not long since contested debate took place at
Pine Grove school house, Middle River Neck,
between the sections of the Cadets of Temperance
of this place and Stemmer's Run.
Messrs. John Brown Sons have removed to
the city, but Mr.. Frank Hance and family will
remain on the farm until 18th inst.
Supervisor Smith is having the roads in this
section pretty thoroughly repaired. He has had
parts of the Stemmer's Run and Towsontown
road graveled, which makes it almost equal to a
pike.
Mr.. C. Ross Mace has gone to Cornell Univer-
sity, New York, for the purpose of completing
his education. He is quito a promising young
man and will doubtless make his mark in the
world He has our best wishes for his success.
The Franklin debating society held a meeting
on last Tuesday evening to complete its organi-
zation, &C., when complimentary resolutions were
passed concerning the removal of Mr.. Mace, who
has been one of the most efficient and honored
members of the society, he having been one of the
founders and its first secretary.
One day last week Mr.. Oppertshauser met with
what might have been quite serious accident.
While he was leading colt out of the stable it
reared and struck Mr.. o. on the head, damaging
his hat and infcting wound on the side of his
face, near the temple.
During the late cold spell some damage was
done to vegetation in places.
Farmers in this locality are backward about
sowing their wheat, owing to the drought.

Crematory In the County. The Cremation
Cemetery Company of Baltimore city has pur-
chased from Mr.. e. Livezey, lot on the east side
of Charles street avenue Brooks street, so by
1S4 feet, upon which the necessary buildings for
a crematory are to be erected. Benjamin f. Hor-
witz, Esq, president of the company, says it is
their intention to put up such Improvements upon
the lot as will be an ornament to the neighbor-
hood. They will probably be similar to the cre-
matory recently finished at Buffalo, N. Y, which
is a beautiful structure, containing a reception
room, chapel, retort, &c. Mr.. Horwitz says it
will be impossible that persons residing in the
neighborhood can he at all dissatisfied with it, as
it is intended to be constructed with all the latest
improvements. AS cremation is affected in a su-
perheated air chamber, there being no contact of
flame or fuel with the body, while all the gases
and volatile products of combustion are complete
ly regenerated and rendered innoouous and odor-
less before being liberated it is impossible for it
to be an offense to any There is nothing un-
pleasant to the sight or smell, and there is no
noise and no smoke.

wesley Cnapel, 10Th DiStr1ct.-The fr0sts
that we have had caught some corn fields that had
not been cut, as we'll some buckwheat patches.
Neither will stand frost, there will be some loss
to those not prepared for it.
Some of our farmers have finished seeding,
while Others have not plowed the ground, nor can
they, on account of the drowth, and have con
cluded owing to the season being late, not to SOW
any grain. Many are engaged picking apples
and making cider. They claim that this is more
profitable than raising wheat at so cents per bushel.
The public roads in this section are in wretch
ed condition, particularly the one leading from
Wesley Chapel to Monkton, the latter being al
most impossible. The man who works this road
says he was only allowed $685. and that sum has
been worked out. The road man says he is only
allowed S25 for making three miles of the worst
road in the district. Some persons are talking of
getting up petition to close the road from the
Chapel to Monkton. This would be mistake, as
it is the only thoroughare they have to the latter
point, which is of the best stations the
Northern Central Railroad. Blue Mount and
Fitzpatrick stations have good roads, but neither
place has switch. These stations are only used
for loading milk and taking on passengers.
Our popular school teacher, Miss Annie Leib,
has again taken charge of school No. l.. She was
very i'll at the commencement of the term, but has
sufficiently recovered to be at her post again, with
fair prospects for good school.
One of our milk men, Mr.. ]. March McComas,
lost a very fine cow lately from what he termed
hollow-head. Several others of the herd were ex-
amined and seemed to be affected in the same
manner. Proper remedies were applied and the
sick ones were brought through all right.
The colored people of Mount Joy A. NJ. E.
Church held Sabbath school celebration last

On Monday evening last Mr.. Geo. Holland,
who is member of the present Grand Jury, caught
fine speckled bass below The breast of the dam
at Loeb Raven. 1t was beautiful specimen,
weighing pound and a. half, and was presented
by him to the editors of The UNION. This species
OF fish, with others, was placed in the Gunpowder,
at LadyNs Rock, in 1878, by the late Col. Harry
Gllhor and Mr.. Holland, and this is the first one
SO far as we know, that has ever been caught.

Serious Effects of an Injury.-Several
months ago MIR. Nelson Cooper, of Tnwann.o.-n,
who is supervisor, while engaged upon the
public roads, struck in the eye by spall from
a Stone which he was breaking The injury was
quits painful at the time but under the care of a
Baltimore oculist the eye improved and no serious
results we're feared. This week, however, the
eye grew suddenly worse and Mr.. Cooper has been
confined to the house, suffering the most excru-
ciating pain. He is attended by DR.. ] H. Jarrett.

A Good Work.-Rev. W. II. III. Powers, edi-
tor of the Trinity Church Record, and rector of
Trinity p. E. Church, TowsontOwn, in the Sep
tember number of his paper, in referring to the
work of his parish, says: "At special meeting
of the Woman's Missionary Society, held on Wed
nesday, August 25th, the treasurer was instructed
to forward $50 to the treasurer of the Board OF
Missions in New York. to aid in meeting the ap-
preparations made for the year ending September
LIST, 1885. The society proposes now to turn its
attention to the work among the Indians, and has
notified Miss Emery, the General Secretary, that
it will undertake this fall to supply clothing for
twenty Indian girls, in the missionary charge Of
Rev. Mr.. Goodnough. All persons in the congre-
cation having second hand clothing suitable for
girls of any size, requested to send such as
they can spare for this object, to Mrs. John B.
Longnecker. Those who are willing to sew will
be furnished material on application to Mrs. H. c.
Turpbull."
A Painter and a Dog.-0n Friday after
noon of last week painter named Thomas West
was tried before Waverly Justice of the Peace
ON the charge of cruelty treating coach dog. II
appears that West working on a new house
on Fifth street, in the Belt, and going into the
second story of the building he found the dog
there, which he caught by the legs, and with vio-
lence threw him to the pavement below. The
spine of the animal being injured, he could moi
rise to his feet, and he was carried by compass
sionate workman to. q house opposite, where he
did all he could to relieve his sufferings. The
Justice very properly fined West S. and costs
MIR. Henry w. Rogers, secretary, was present at
the trial in the interest of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty of Animals,

A Handsome Country Residence.-The
Finksburg correspondent of the Westminster SEN
t,nel says: "The most beautiful and costly villa
in the vicinity of Finksburg is BRENTWOOD" the
country seat of Mr.. VIM. Keyser 1t is situated
on the West Point Road, between Deer Park and
Reistertown, about two miles from Fnksburg in
Baltimore county. The farm, consisting of 80
acres, was purchased of Mr.. Sumervile Norris,
who had the misfortune several years ago to lose
his residence by fire. The site of the Norris build
ing is the highest point for miles around, and is
in grove of large old timber, and upon this site
Mr.. Keyser has erected his magnificent home.
The frame is 64x46 feet. The first story is wealth
erboarded and the second shingled. There are 67
windows, % rooms with AZ doors. The inside fin
ish is cypress with oil and varnish. There are
two fronts with wide verandas and the outside is
painted yellow and red with seal brown trimmings.
The building is complete in all appointments
which are frst-class in every respect. The build
ing cost $11,600. Its construction required y
carpenters, 5 stonemasons, painters and 3
months time"
Railroad Consolidation Ratifled.-on Sat
urday last the stockholders of the Baltimore and
Hanover r. r. Company, at meeting held at

Bachman Valley Railroad Companies, under the

Company. The stockholders are to receive equal
shares of the stock of the new corporation. 1t is
in negotiation for the Western Maryland to oper-
ate the consolidated roads, and to guarantee Eve
per cent. dividends on their stock.

Thew Did not Get the Horsa .,oted

They Did not Get the Horse-As stated in
The UNION of last week Mr. Edward Rider, whose
farm is situated short distance below Sherwood
Station, N. G. R., had lately been very much
annoyed by some unknown person or persons who
visited his premises at night and committed a
number of depredations. Finally Mr.. Rider set
two men to watch about his buildings and about
IL O'Clock on Sunday night last they saw two men
approach the barn and try to open the stable door,
no doubt with the intention of stealing a horse
One OF the watchers, who was armed with dou-
bie-barre gun, blazed away at them but unfortu-
nately the charge did not take effect but the men
ran OIL as fast as their legs could carry them.

To ascertain the actual
comfort of this Warm
Weather is to purchase a
thin coat and vest. We
have them in almost any.
thing. You could ask for
such as Mohair, Drapdtea,
Pongee, Silk and Secrsuck-
ers of endless variety. We
also have the Ministerial AL.
paca, suitable for the old
gentlemen. One of the
greatest features of this
stock is the Russian Linen
Suit for $500, which are
selling very fast. While at
the same time we do not
forget the little folks. We
can give you Seersucker
coats and vests for boys of
any size, in Norfolk or
plain coats.
