A Booming Town.-The branch railroad ex:
tending from New Freedom, Northern Central
railroad, to Stewartstown, York county has al
ready accomplished wonders for the latter place:
The York Age says the road continues to do a good
business and the spring trade is unusually heavy.
By harvest the country around the ancient town
will be stripped of the surplus produce. Build
ing seems to be going wild in and around the
place. Every foot of ground for building pur-
poses is eagerly bought up at fabulous prices.

Get Your Licenses.-The first of May is
approaching, the date on or before which all mer
chants and other dealers throughout the county
are required to renew their licenses. The Sherifs
notice, calling attention to this fact, has been
published, and it will be we'll for all interested to
heed it. 1t is direct violation of the law to sell
dollars worth of goods after the lst of May
unless license has been previously issued to the
merchant by the Clerk of the Court though many
have heretofore been in the habit of postponing
this matter, not from any intention of violating
the law, but merely because it was not convenient
to them to come to Towsontown at the time re-
qured, but would wait until business called them
here before they took out their license, some times
two or three weeks after the first day.

Decision on the Fence Law.-The Prince
Georges county Inquirer of last week says: ga
case was tried in the Circuit Court this week that
involves the application of the Act of 1880 in re-
gard to division fences and which is for this rea-
son interesting to farmers. The local law refer
red to is somewhat at variance with the old rule
of common law which required each man to keep
his stock within his own close. 1t provides that
.f any person having an interest in any joint di-
vsiSn fence shall fail to make or keep in repair
his part thereof, he shall not be entitled to any
damages on account of any trespass through said
part of stock belonging to the other of said
fence" 1t argued that this law would not
apply in this case because the cattle committing
the trespass not the property of the joint
owner of the fence but of a tenant who worked
another portion of the adjoining farm, and who
only enjoyed the right of pasturage in the field
bounded by said division fence, in the repairing
and keeping up of which he was not concerned.
The Court thought, however, that this was too
close a construction of the law, and rendered
Judgment against the party who suffered the tres
pass, it being in evidence that the cattle entered
through a gap in his portion of the division
ience"

Again in the Toils.-Pat O'Connor, who
formerly kept the disreputable ranch on the York
road, Just north of Towsontown, and whose utter
disregard of the law landed him in Jail, from which
he was only lately discharged was again locked
up on Monday upon the charge of beating his
brother-in law, Dennis Brazeal. Pat Hines now
keeps the place formerly kept O'Connor and 1t
was there that the fight occurred Brazeal, who
is almost blind, was very badly used up, his nose
being broken, causing hemorrage which DR..
Harry S. Jarrett had great difficulty in checking.
1t is hoped that the Court, when it gets hold of
O'Connor this time, will show no lenency towards
him. He is an utterly worthless character and
should be placed where he can do no harm to
himself or any one else.

Is this Canard ?-The Belair Times OF last
week says "Staford neighborhood has been ex-
ercised over reported lucky find in the garden
of the old John Stump house. The story goes
that Alexander Wilson, who occupied the place
and recently left for Cincinnati, Ohio, found an
old piece of writing in the house, in which the
finder was directed to the location of buried treas
ure in the garden. Mr.. Wilson went to the spot
indicated and unearthed box containing $4,000
in coin. All that is certainly known is that there
is hole six feet deep in the garden, from which
box, about Is inches square, has apparently
been taken, to judge from the impress at the bot
tom. To curious neighbors Mr.. Wilson said he
had buried cabbages there, but those who put
faith in the find are not inclined to believe that
he put his cabbage six feet below the surface of
the ground. The dwelling there is nearly hun
dred years old, and was originally the property
of John Stump, grandfather of Hon. Henry W.
Archer, who died leaving fortune of 500, ,O0O."

tween Orange Boy and Orange Bud, both of which
are entered for the spring races in the North.
They both showed a very creditabe mile, with
Mr. Holton driving Orange Boy and Lyman Red
mond behind Orange Bud. 1t was very lively
pace, close to 23G, and it is confidently expected
that both of these celebrated horses will bring

"The Union" has Damage Subtitle
following letter explains itself:
TowsoNTowN, April 18th, 1886.
Messrs. Editors Il have directed my family
lawyer, Mr.. =, to at once enter suit against you
in the Circuit Court of Baltimore county for dam
ages for libel in publishing in your late issue of
THE UNION the following extraordinary and mon
strous statement:
"a well-known professional gentleman appear
ed ON the streets on Thursday, sporting straw
hat 1t is supposed that his linen duster is being
half soled, otherwise he would have had that on
also"
Allow me- Sirs, to remark that in this free and
enlightened country it is the legitimate right of
every citizen to prefer old hat-straw or other
wise-whether it be in winter or GUNNER, spring
or autumn. The very songs of our childhood have
instied this love into our veins. Who of us has
not sung in thrilling tones, many a time and oft,
"When this old hat was new ?"
ffhen why should you prick up your editorial ears
and by venomous inuendoes comment upon a
spring starter? Are not some heads more fertile
than others and may not such be permitted to
blossom in this balmy April weather? Do you
take me for man of straw because l choose to
sport a straw hat? My lawyer, Sirs, will cite you
up" for this worse than the Frick line ct i'd omni-
bus translate this horse cars) genus. Look well
to your bale when landed in Castle Miller and let
it not be of straw. Why should my linen duster
be half soled? Why not make it o clear sale at
once, with the money in my pocket? This is not
the first time l have been attacked by you about
a straw hat. Once when on the briny Chesapeake
was made the sport of your paper about little
straw hat that was supposed to have been waited
from my head under very suspicious circumstances.
Can professional gentleman of my standing sub
NIT to be half soled in this manner? Damages
Sirs, damages ! !! to the full extent of the law and
your hearts blood if necessary :!

An Unfortunate Mistake.-Mr. J. j. Kelly
has been the teacher Of the public school at Texas,
Sth district, and was much thought of in the com
munity. He has been in delicate health for some
time and few weeks ago went to his home at
Annapolis Junction, to obtain little rest, gen.
tleman named Yeator being appointed as his sub
stitute. While in the city one day last week Mr..
Yeator was informed by member of the School
Board that Mr.. Kelly was dead. Upon going
back to Texas he announced the sad news and at
once took steps to secure his own appointment as
teacher. In the Catholic church on Sunday the
priest announced Mr.. Kelly's death, spoke feel
ingly of his character and attainments, and said
prayers for the repose of his soul. The children
of the school started subscription list in order to
purchase floral offering for their late lamented
teacher and preparations were being made to drape
his desk, when word was received that all these
arrangements were premature, Mr.. Kelly being
still in the land of the living. Of course Mr..
Yeator felt very badly over the part he had taken
in the matter, although he was in no way to blame
He at once destroyed the contract that he had
made with the trustees of the school, and took the
necessary steps to correct the false rumor in the
village. Mr.. Kelly remains quite ill at his resi-
dence, and we learn that he is suffering from con-
SUMPTION.

The Cole Case.-The case of Mr.. A. Cole, keepe
of Waverly station house, was again called befor'
the County Commissioners on Wednesday, bu
was postponed for another week. 1t will be re
membered that Mr. Cole is charged with having
sold the body of colored man that had beer
placed in the station house for the night. Th
accused, being public officer, the Commissioner
owe it to themselves to investigate the charge
ngainst him without further delay. They are o
a serious nature and he, if innocent, should be re
Iieved of them, and if proven guilty, should re
ceive the censure he deserves. Justice to th
public demands that some disposition be made o
tho case and the confidence of the people in tn
Commissioners will not be shaken by their dispo
sition of it.
