Fullerton, 18th District.--Sprouts--a az
abundant crop in this neighborhood-are SO De
preciated in value that two. horse wagon loae
will scarcely pay the toll, when hauled to BAIL
more. Mr.. Rittenhouse took in q two-horse ioao
one day last week and, being unable to sell them
at at any price, brought them out on the Belail
road and dumped them near Mr.. Swifts place.
Such wholesale" gardening as that done by Mr.
Rittenhouse and the people of Patapsco Neck
who plant an entire farm of two or three hundred
acres in garden produce, and do no farming at al
is what has brought the sale of vegetables TO tns
present crisis.
Mrs. Alex Fuller has been able to get all he.
early crops planted, through the goodness of hel
neighbors, who have been very kind to her since
the death of her brother-in law, who managed
her farm for her.
The debating society met at the residence oi
Mr.. Harry Councilman and was largely attended
The question, (Which has the greater influence
over the minds of men, love or revenge?" was
fully discussed and the judges decided in favor Of
the affirmative, or love. Mr.. VIM. G. Johnston
and. Miss Laura Van Cleaf each read selection
and the audience was also entertained with vocal
music by members of the Union Singing Circle
and others. The election Of officers was post
poned until next meeting.
As your Gardenville correspondent seems to be
very dilitory of late, will try to represent that
portion of the Belair road also.
The confirmation of twenty-five young people
took place at the German Lutheran Church on
Sunday. The services were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Seiglen and were of very interesting char
acter. The church was crowded, there being
scarcely standing room, many Of those present be-
ing visitors who could not understand the service,
it being conducted in German. Prof Joseph A.
Neumayer's Maenerchor assisted in the service.
Rev. Mr.. Damerson preached his first sermon at
Andrew Chapel last Sunday, to quite large
audience.
Mr.. VIM. G. Biddison has received an appoint
ment on the Baltimore police force and will take
charge of one of the patrol wagons. Doubtless ne
will fill the office with efficiency, as he is quite an
expert at handling the rens.
Mr. Joshua Fuller contracted to dig well, or
rather sink an old one deeper, at the parsonage
of the NJ E. Church South, and employed fwo mon
to help him. After working about two weeks 20
receiving over $40, he demanded the S12 that had
been kept back until the work was completed,
and upon it being refused, he left and has not
made his appearance since. After he left it was
ascertained that he had not paid a cent of the
money he had received to the men he had en-
ployed The work will be continued by the men
who were left in the lurch. N'IMPoRT.
Rossville, 18th Dstrict.--The favorable
weather of the last two weeks has given the TIL
lers of the soil and other outdoor workers much
encouragement and they have been making good
use of the time.
Some of the young ladies have been the
alert also and have exhibited considerable taste
and tact in cleaning and identifying their gar
dens, lawns and yards. One in particular merits
notice, so intent was she on having her lawn to
suit her mind that she toiled both day and night
as she had opportunity.
There has been marrying boom in this Sec
ton Of late. A few weeks since Mr.. Henry Kearn
and Miss Menie Winerice were married by
the pastor of the German Methodist Church, Broad
way, Baltimore. On the 18th inst, Mr.. john
Dodson and Miss Lizzie Selling were married by
the Rev. Mr.. Jones, pastor of Abbott Presbyterian
Church. Also at the same time and by the same
minister, Mr.. George Solomon and Miss Rosie
Selling were married. They are all of Baltimore
county Thus it is seen that some of our youn g
folks were not disposed to wait for the more ge-
nial days of June in order to avail themselves Tstf
the benefit of the reduction of the marriage license.
On last Sunday very impressiv c and interesting
services were held in St. Peters and Howard
Lutheran churches. A class was confirmed in
each, preparatory to the taking of the Holy Com
munion on Easter Sunday. Rev. Gretzel is pas
tor of the former and Rev. John Leonberger of
the latter church.
The B. & O. r. r. Company is vigorously push
ing forward the work of laying second track and
it is said that they purpose having passenger
trains on the road by the 4th of July next.
Mr.. Martin, Of Stemmer's Run, who broke his
arm in the winter, is so far recovered that he is
able to be about and attend to business.
