On Tuesday the County Commissioners ap-
pointed Joseph S. Hoshall, constable for the 18th
district, vice John B. Kelly, resigned. The new
appointee is the man who some time ago was shot

SPARED of. 1t will be remembered that the case

Mr. Richard H. Peasants, whose country
seat is on the Hillen road short distance below
Towsontown, has sorrel driving mare that is a
wonderful animal. She is twenty four years old

when she was five. This mare was sired by a
horse called Albany that was at Glen Ellen in
1861. Her dam was Lucy, famous road mare
belonging to the late John Ridgely, of Hampton.
The town of Glyndon, on the Western Ma
ryland railroad, has had a remarkable growth in
the past i've years. Besides several large board
ing houses there are a number of very pretty cot
tages, some of them occupied by Baltimore bust
ness men, and the place presents an appearance of
thrift and neatness that is most refreshing to look
at The one thing needkul now is school house
and this, we are assured, will soon be supplied
There are over one hundred children in the town
and vicinity that have really no school facilities and
this necessity should be supplied without further
delay.
"A well known young lady of Baltimore, de-
string to visit the family of Hon. Geo. Hawkins
Williams, in Long Green Valley, few afternoons
ago, took the $50 train from Boundary avenue
for Long Green station. She afterwards found
that the train only ran to Loeb Raven, and as she
could not get conveyance there, and being de-
termned to reach her destination, set out on foot
and walked the entire distance of nearly six miles
alone reaching the residence of Mr.. Williams long
after dark. There are very few ladies who would
have the nerve and endurance to accomplish such
q feat.
