LUMBER, FERTILIZERS, &c.-The kind of
fertilizers to buy is very important considera-
tion at all times, and particularly now, when
the farmer must make every edge cut to get q
profit out of his business. We therefore call
attention to the various fertilizers offered by
Messrs Barnes d Archer, of Lapidum. Both of
them are practical farmers, and their word can
be relied on concerning any of the fertilizers
they offer. They have also a large assortment of
lumber and building material, including doors,
sash, frames, moulding, &C., made at their fac
tory in Port Deposit. They also deal largely in
hay, grain and coal. They offer the inducement
OIL low prices on everything they SELL and can
ship to any point by railroad or water, or will
deliver fertilizers or lumber by teams to order.
Our readers will find Messrs. Barnes g. Archer
an accommodating and entirely reliable firm
They have warehouses both at Lapidum and
Glen Cove. Ifyou need anything in their line
write to them.

ANNAPOLIS NOTES.
THE sUsQUEHANNA BRIDGE BILL,


In the Senate, on Thursday night of last week,
the bill to amend the charter of the p, W. and b.
Railroad, in regard to stopping trains at Havre
de Grace, came up. Mr.. Hodson offered an amend
ment, that in accepting the amendment of their
charter the railroad company would come under
the full taxation clause of the Constitution OF
1867. The amendment was adopted, President
Warfield voting for it. When it was discovered
that the amendment virtually killed the bill, Mr..
Warneld, at midnight, moved reconsideration of
the vote, but quorum could not be obtained
On Friday he renewed his motion and the amend
ment was defeated. Senator Sappingtun, of Har-
ford, was sick at his home in Darlington. The
bill was then ordered to be engrossed for third
reading

more and Earford counties was reported un-
favorably in the House, on Tuesday, and the I'M
favorable report adopted. There was very

Poisonous Solder.

An interesting canning case has lately been
decided in the Supreme Court of Brooklyn,
New York Miss Theodore Kollyer brought
suit against Thurber & Co., grocers, of New
York, to recover $4,000 damages for injury
to her health caused, it was alleged, by eating
canned tomatoes sold by the defendants,
which were impregnated with the chloride of
zinc used in soldering the cap of the can
The Messrs. Thurber urged in defence that
the tomatoes were not canned by them
but were canned in Maryland; that they
did not know chloride of zinc flux was used !;
that the tomatoes were examined and found
to be good and wholesome and were sold as
such without warrant. The Judge held that
as there was no warranty there could be no
cause of action on that ground.
The defendants did not can the tomatoes,
and could not be held liable for the negli-
gence of other persons. The jury after some
deiberation brought in a verdict for the de-
PENDANTS.
The Sanitary Engineer, after investigating
this method of soldering and finding it gen.
orally harmless, expresses the opinion that
"in view of the frequent attacks on the purity
Of canned goods, the manufacturer should use
nothing requiring explanation or defence, and
that the use of such poisonous substance as
chloride of zinc, however slight the risk in
its diluted form, is not calculated to reassure
the public"
Judge Brown intimated in his charge "that
Gamers who use any poisonous tiux for SOL
dering purposes are liable in damages for any
injurious consequences proven TO have re-
suited therefrom"

Miss Wells was q most estimabe young lady, a

Her death has caused feeling of profound sad

the terrible truth that her young life was fading
like summers day, for she told the writer, but
year ago, that not many months would pass be-

silent CITY," Knowing this her grand young
life instinctively conformed to the desires of her
Heavenly Father, and in sympathy with the suf
ferings of Christ she placed full hope in the atom

Peter of old on deep Galilee. she welcomed the

1t is believed, in financial circle, that the
diminution of our exports and the large ship
ments of gold to foreign countries to pay for
our imports will necessitate some legislation
by Congress to discontinue the unlimited
coinage of silver. While the balance of trade
was in our favor foreign debtors were obliged
to pay their American creditors in gold or
buy American silver at the current rate, and
the difference between the two was merely
nominal Wtha changed condition of af-
fairs, however, it is feared that if the present
large coinage of silver is kept up, that metal
must depreciate in value and great financial
disturbance will result.

this rule. The Senate has passed the Ed

force. The President will go on removing

With songs let us follow her flight.
And mount with her spirit above,
Escaped to the mansions of light,
And lodged In the Eden of love.
There all her dear friends she'll meet,
Who loved the Saviour below.
With shoutii gs each other they'll greet,
And triumph DER sorrow and woe.

The mortal affection is past
The age that In heaven she'll spend
