Sweet Air, 10th District.-A large congre-
CATION assembled on the evening of 10th inst, at
Chestnut Grove Presbyterian Church, near Sweet
Air to witness the installation of the pastor elect,
Rev W. W. Reese. The services were of a very
impressive character, conducted by the commit
tee which the Presbytery of Baltimore had APP
pointed at its late session for the purpose. Two
of the committee failed tie reach here leaving to
the other two, Revs. A. B. Cross and George E.
Jones the duties of the occasion. Rev. Mr.. Jones
preached the sermon and gave the charge to the
PASTOR and Rev. Mr.. Cross presided and gave the
charge to the people. The service was opened
by the choir. The music was appropriate to the
occasion and conducive to the worship of the
evening. The large and solemn audience evinc
ed the interest of the community in the prosper
ity of the church. The people came "from near
and from far" and the seating capacity of the
large and comfortable church was brought into
req QUESTION. The pastor was warmly greeted by
the elders and deacons and entire congregation,
and the wish felt and often expressed was that
This might be lasting and most successful pas
torate.
Rev. Mr.. Wilmington, of the M. E. church,
now in charge of the public school at Waverly,

Some Sensible OpSerVatloH5.-hu OK
change. in noticing the good prices obtained at a
public sale of farm stock, very truthfully says
1.-THE man who undertakes to save dollar or two
by advertising his property in handful form in
stead of in the newspaper. almost invariably loses
ten times as much as such advertising would cost.
In the newspaper everybody sees the ADVERT e.
mont and the purchaser is found at the sale, but
handbIls are read only by the few, as chance may
bring them to view. Handhills are valuable as
an addition to the newspaper publication, but can
never answer as a substitute Experience has
clearly taught our people this important lesson.

MOTHERs.-There are upon the skin of every
human being child and adult alike, 300 900 pores
Through these pores in the form of insensble
perspiraton is expelled more than one-quarter
of the nourishment taken into the system. The
importance of keeping open these perspiraton
of promptly digesting the food eaten. 1t was to
open the pores of the skin and to assimate the
food that DIR. Pitcher formulated Castora.-
which are so constant among infants and chill
dren, and which kill one-third of all children be-
fore they are five years old, arise principally
regulating the stomachs and bowels and keeping
open the pores of the skin, that Castora acquired
its world wide reputation. With plenty of water
for the body, pure air for the lungs and Castoria
to assimlate the food, there need be no unac-
counted for sickness among children. Castoria
is vegetable prescription without morphine or
other narcotic property. Thirty years extensive
use has given it history never attained by an
other medicine.

Reckord's Steam Roller Mill.-The new
steam -four mill of Messrs. Henry Reckord Sons
situated at the Maryland Central Railroad Sta
ton, in Belair, is about completed and it is ex.
pected that the machinery will be in motion by the
LIST of January. The Belair Democrat furnishes
the following account of this mill
"The building is 40x60 feet and sixty feet high
in the five stories, with mansard roof, covered
with tin and slate The most attractive and in
terestng part of the mill is the almost innumera.
BILE and apparently complicated machines that fiji
it from top to bottom. The motive power in the
basement is sixty horse steam boiler and engine
"In the first story are two Richmond wheat
cleaning machines, that receive the wheat from
wagons cars and remove all filth. The wheat
is then taken to automatic scales, of hundred
bushels capacity, by elevators, where it is weighed
and again carried by the elevators to the receiv-
ing elevator of ten thousand bushels capacity,
near by. On this floor is also dust collector,
that receives the impurities blown out by the fam
ming mills
"On the second floor are six double sets of Ste
vens' rolls and two -four packers. The former
take the place of the old fashioned stone burrs and
mash the wheat to an impalpabe powder. The
latter pack the -four in bags barrels after it has
passed through the other machines on the upper
floors.
"On the third floor are three Smith purifiers,
one Latimer aspirator, one Richmond grain sepa-
rator, bran duster flour and feed bins, stock bins
and two Pintz dust collectors.
"0n the fourth floor eight Smith centrifu-
gal reels for boiling -four, one Noys aspirator for
cleaning middlings, feed bins and six Noys scalp
ing reels
'On the fifth floor are four Smith scalpiDg reelsy
one grading reel, elevator heads and shafting.
'The grain is never handled from the time it
Iaayes the bags until it is coopered in the barrels.
shs large bins from them it falls into the rolls at
lne will of the miller, and is again carried by ele
in aso rsa sG the seaRqse ras ffa% them t sGae
the purifiers; then to the centrifugals and from
them to The packing machine and rolled away in
barrels. All this machinery Is of the latest
and most approved kind. When completed the
mill will have capacity of not less than one
hundred barrels per day of twenty four hours
.'The arrangement and conveniences are such
that one engineer and two millers can handle the
large amount of -four turned out each twelve hours
that the machinery is in motion. The machinery
is so arran led that the miller can make four kinds
of -four and three kinds of mill feed from the same
grain, or but one kind, as is wanted for the mar
ket Another convenience is the automatic scale,
that weighs the grain it enters the rolls, thus
enabling the miller to know each day how much
grain has been consumed and how much grain
and mill feed he has on hand"

po,.,r,ora County Agricultural Society

Baltimore County Agricultural Society
Financial Report, &c.-The annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Baltimore County Agrl-
cultural Society was held in Baltimore on Mon
day, the attendance being unusually large. "A
Board of Managers for the ensuing year was eiec-
ted, as follows: Col. D. M. Matthews, Samuel
Brady, COL W. S. Franklin, Edward Austen, VIM.
D. Breckenridge, c Lyon Rogers. Fred Won
Kappf, Wilson, Washington Stevenson John
Ridgely of Hampton, Thomas b. Todd, John
Piersol.
The debate over the instructions to the Board
to sell no bar privilege was long and anlmated.-
Amongst those who spoke strongly favoring them
were Lewis J. Roberts, Charles T. Cockey and
Edward Rider. The arguments against instruc-
tions were from those who thought the revenue
from this essential to the prosperity OF
the fairs financially; that prohibition would not
prohibit at Timonium any more than 1t did else
where, more disorder and intoxcation having been
experienced when the temperance plan was tried
in 1883 and 384 than in years when a beer priv
iege was sold. Some of the officers of the Society
controverted the belief which has gained currency
in some quarters that privileges were ever award
ed to sell spirituous liquors. 1t strong drinks
were ever dispensed it was in violation of the
direct stipulations of the contracts made between
the purchasers of the privileges and the Society.
The pronostion to prohibit the sale hereafter was
carried by small majority.
The auditing committee, Messrs. Pentland and
Won Kappf, appointed to examine the books and
accounts of the Secretary and Treasurer, reported
they found them correctly kept, the payments all
supported by proper vouchers.
The total receipts from the fair of 1886 amounted
to So 73O 80 and the payments to few dollars more
than this. few premiums were not called for
and consequently revert to the Society under the
established regulation, and one or two bills re-
main unadjusted, of small amounts. The only
other floating Indebtedness is note for $3.50,
which represents the balance from the previous
year, and one payment of interest on the mort
gage on the fair grounds. This would probably
have been liquidated but for the enlarged pay
ments on account of premiums and speed purses
this year. The total receipts from all sources on
the grounds in 1886 were $3.50 less than in 1856
the diminution from entrance money and grand
stand receipts being about 800. The privileges |
brought more than the preceding year.

Freaks OF an Insane Womau.--Mrs.

Reisterstown, was taken to Spring Grove Insane
Asylum on Thursday of last week. The unfor-
tunate woman has quite an interesting history
She was born in small vllagein Holland, where
her parents gave her an excellent education. She
is fine musician, has a good alto voice, and
speaks French, German, Italian and Portuguese
with precision and fuency. While in Holland
she fell in love with young man whom her pa
rents did not fancy, an she was sent to this
try in order to prevent the union. Upon arriving
here, twenty five years ago, the separation from
her lover preyed on her mind so much that she
became insane, and was sent to an asylum in New
Jersey for one year. After her release she became
governess in the family of Mr.. ]. Fenner Lee, now
acting minister TO Austria, at his residence near
Owings' Mills. While there she met Jacob Knight,
to whom she married few years later
About three weeks ago she became quite violent
and had to be constantly watched. On Mon
day she escaped from her husband and went to
Resterstown. He followed and took her back
home, but she returned ON Thursday and created

came very violent.
