fourteen years ago Charles N. Phipps. son of Mr..
James Phipps, of this place, was wounded in the
right leg above the knee by the accidental dis
charge Of gun with which he and another boy
had been shooting at mark. The gun was charged
with powder and gravel and the wound was a very
ugly one. 1t healed up, however, after the pieces
of stone had been removed, and caused no further
trouble until about two weeks ago, when it re-
opened and became very painful. DR.. james IL.

pieces of stone, one of which, (about as large as

Startling Fence Calculation.-La

A Startling Fence Calculation.-Last week
THE UNION contained brief account of "Spring-
field" the beautiful estate of Mr.. Frank Brown,
in Carroll county. We now supplement that with
reference to the value of the fencing ON that
splendid farm, which cannot help but prove of
general interest Some idea of the size and value
of Springfield may be obtained from the fact that
the fences it, which are valued at fifty cents q
panel of ten feet for the twelve miles around the
estate, represent S31 $50, or very nearly much
as Mr.. Brown paid for his brown-ston residence
on North Charles street. The other fences ON the
inside of the estate which separate the fields are
worth, by the same calculation, about twice as
much more, or S95,04O! The estate extends three
miles from east to west, and about two miles and
three quarters from north to south. The family
mansion is situated on top of the highest hill of
the rolling land, and beneath it, away the south
are neat white cottages and farm houses on pretty
lunettes. From the porch of the second story ff-
teen hundred acres of the farm and meadow land
can be seen as they stretch away to the south,
west and east; and by the aid of pair of field
glasses the work done by every field hand can be
observed Every fence on the place is made of
posts and rails, and gives one man constant en-
ployment to renew them and cut away the weeds
and brush about them. Many miles of roads are
macademized Through the whole length of the
farm, from west to east, runs swift and broad
stream of water that never fails. Four hundred
acres Oh the properly are IN splenulu timper'
Three hundred acres of meadow, which have never
been plowed since the land was cleared, nearly
one hundred years ago, lie between the ridges of
hills. The farm is largely used for dairy and
grazing purposes, and often as high as two hun
bred gallons of milk are shipped in one day to
Baltimore
On his estate Mr.. Brown keeps thirty five head
of Percheron horses for breeding purposes and
work. He also has between three and four hun
dred head of cattle and a very large lot of we'll
bred hogs.

throughout the county complain that many farm

brush to fall into the water courses and remain
there, stopping the flow of water and forcing it
out on the roads. A little care and attention In
this matter would help our roads materially 1t is

A Dangerous Spring.-Prof. Tonry, of Bal
timore, lately analysed a sample of the water
from the spring along Greenmount Cemetery wall,
below Boundary avenue, and in a communication
to Health Commissioner Steuart he states that the
analysis shows the sample to be unfit for use as
source in the cemetery, and flows from under the
cemetery in an opening in the sidewalk. The
preciptate is filthy deposit. The greater por-
ton of decomposing bodies pass off in the form of
gases, which or less soluble in the water
the rains which sink into the soil and the water
which percoates the soil on the way to the spring
dissolve these gases, and those who drink such
water necessarily inhale the dissolved gases from
the decomposing bodies. He states that the we'll
should be covered up. The water is cool, and
many wayfarer stops at this spring to quench
his thirst.
