The Fishing Fever-The First Shad o
the SeasOn-Business BRISK tSc

Right wintry it looked, the other morning, to
see snow on the ground. March may have come
in like lion this year. but it did not go out like
lamb by any means.
The scooping season is here and so is the SCOOP
ing fever. Herring are being caught in small
Samuel Walstrom has the credit of catching the
first white shad in the Susquehanna this year He
caught it while scooping last Saturday. 1t
weighed 5A lbs, and was sold to VIM. b. Maxim
son, at Level store, for 81. The shad reported
caught some time last week, by the OILERS, we
have since learned, was very large hickory
jack.
Farmers are doing nothing in this neghbor-
hood, owing to the continued wet weather, which
has completely soaked the ound. In some
placessthe wells are almost overlooking.
Business is brisk as usual about Level, and the
good folks nightly gather in, to have social
talk
1t is said that mad dogs are about. Wehaven't
seen any yet and don't want too, either.

CARRIED AWAY BY THE CURRENT.
Wednesday Of last week as Harry A. Walter was
driving MIR. Joseph Hopes horse and a top
wagon across Tan Yard branch, between Moore
land Mill and the residence of Mr.. James Dow
ling, near Bel Air, the horse got beyond its
depth and began TO struggle in the water.
Freeing itself from the harness the animal got
ashore but the wagon and young Walter were
carried down the stream by the rapid current.
Fortunately Mr.. Samuel Bowling saw the acct.
dent and succeeded IN throwing the end of a
long pole to Mr. Walter, who grasped it and
was pulled ashore by Mr.. Bowling. He escaped
from the wagon just in time, for the next min.
ute it was overturned in the water and carried
down the stream. 1t was recovered, but in o
damaged condition.

The Maryland Federal Appointments.

PRESIDENT cleveland on Wednesday nomi-
mated for District Attorney Hon. Thomas G.
Hayes, of Anne Arundel county for Survey
or of the port of Baltimore, Hon. Edwin
Warfield, of Howard county, and for United
States Marshal, DR.. George II. Carnes, of
Woodbury., Baltimore county.
MIR. Hayes was a member of the State Sen
ate which has just adjourned, anG was the au-
thor and chief advocate of the bill for an
early call of the constitutional convention
He had gone with Senator German to see the
President, with reference to his appointment
as territorial district judge. The President
upon reading his recommendations, wanted
to know why he would not make good dis.
trict attorney. Senator German was agreea-
BILE and the endorsement of the Maryland del.
egation was soon procured
Mr.. Warfield is native of Howard coun-
ty. lie was very popular as late President
of the Senate. He is a member of the Dem.
ocratic State Central Committee.
DIR. Cairnes was born at Jarrettsville, Har-
ford county, being a son of Mr.. Isaac II.
Cairnes. After completing his education he
taught in the public schools of this county
for two years. In 1864 he graduated in med.
icine at the Maryland University After
practicing in Hartford for short time he
removed to Towsontown, where he was as
ISOLATED with DR.. Jamss H. Jarrett. In 1870
he removed to Woodbury., where he has q
large practice. He is also member of the
Democratic State Central Committee He
has never held office, but is very popular and
has been active and influential in Balti-
more county politics for some time.
Mr., Warield's nomination was expected
but the appointment of Messrs. Hayes and
Cairnes is great surprise, and again illus.
trates the familiar maxim, in politics it is the
unexpected that happens 1t is conceded
we believe, that all three appointments are
unobjectionable. The gentlemen named are
Democrats and no doubt exists as to their fit
ness for the offices to which President Cleve
land has appointed them.

Adjournment of the Legislature.

Precisely at twelve o'clock, Monday night,
the Legislature adjourned sine dc 1t was
eminently an industrious body. Less time
than usual was wasted in literary fireworks
and the members generally were attentive to
their duties. They seemed to scan every bill
closely and deserve rs much credit, perhaps,
for what they refused 10 do as for what they
actually accomplished. Much unwise legis-
lation was prevented and many bills nsidi-
ously contrived to enrich few favortes at
public expense were strangled without mercy.
The specious plea for vote on a new Con-
stitution in advance of the time fixed for it
in the Constitution itself, was defeated, after
severe struggle, and bill was passed to
take the vote at the time and in the manner
prescribed in the Constitution. The bill to
empower the Board of Public Works to sell
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was defeat
ed. We think it would be a good thing if
the State could get this work off of her hands
1t is Improbable and constant source of
contention in politics The mode prescribed
for its sale, however, was not satisfactory,
and it was feared there was job in it some
where. The bill to tax mortgages died early.
The bill to reduce the marriage license fee
from $3.50 to 81 passed during the closing
hours The fee added round sum to the
State treasury every year which will have to
be made up by taxation. The bill, however,
was based on high moral grounds and we
hope will accomplish much good. DR.. VIM.
Fl. Gales bill providing for scientific temper.
ance instruction in public schools also pass,
ed. 1t was first amended by striking out the
feature making it compulsory for school com.
missioners TO carry out its provisions. Mr..
r. Harris Archer's bill for the adjustment of
arrearages of interest due the State by the
Reading Railroad, on account of the Susque-
hanna Canal, was also among the bills passed.
The bill to relieve the Baltimore street car
companies from the payment of their just
dues to the city was killed, and the twelve
hour bill to protect street car conductors and
drivers was passed. Mr.. Silver's bill to pro-
hibit the catching of fish in pound nets in the
Susquehanna and other Hartford waters was
not reached
The delegation from Hartford, Dr. John
Sappington, in the Senate, and Messrs. r.
Harris Archer, Benz Silver, Dr., J. Martin
McNabb and j. II. Plowman, in the House,
represented their constituents with credit
and ability. They were attentive, indus
trious, prudent, and watched over Hartford
county interests with rare fidelity. No dele
CATION at Annapolis stood higher in the re-
gard of their colleagues or had more influ-
ence. They labored increasingly against the
P,. w. and B. bridge bill, but the power of
corporations was too great for them and the
bill passed, in modified form. Altogether
they performed their duties satisfactorily and
deserve the thanks of their constituents.
