Duplicating Street Numbers by the
Thousands.-A correspondent calls attention
to practical inconvenience that must result from
the method of REMEMBERING that is being observed
in the part of the city that lies in Baltimore
ty. AS the county authorities reckon from the
boundary the starting point it must result that
the numbers on streets that extend beyond the
city limits will be duplicated. Number Sc North
Charles street, for example, must hereafter be
biguous, if the method adopted by the county
thorites is persisted in, as there will be another
$50 North Charles" beyond the imaginary line
of the boundary. This confusion of numbers
must occur respects every number on "Charles
street extended" and like confusion will affect
every street common to the city and county. The
inconvenience that must result from so defective
a plan would be very great, and ought to be OBJ
viated.-Baltimore Sun.
The above is no doubt true, but it comes too late
to do any good, as the numbering has been about
completed by Mr.. S. F. Butler. If some attention
had been given to this matter before the law went
through the Legislature in its present shape this
state of affairs might have been provided against
Now we suppose it will have to stand for two
years.

estate is bequeathed to Messrs. John G. and
Edward Rider, brothers, and Mrs. Mary A. Wor-
ley, Mrs. Angelina A. Foster and Mrs. Elizabeth
Stevenson, sisters of the testator, to be equally
divided between them. The other two brothers
(Messrs Lewis J. and Harrison Rider) are omitted
from the will because they have sufficient means
and no children. The executors bonded in the
sum of $50 900, which is the estimated value of
the personal estate, the will directing that they
give but half the usual amount of bond. DIR.
Rider, who was bachelor, was a successful ply
stefan and had accumulated very considerable
fortune. He at one time gave $4,000 to Baptist

Relieving the Toothache.

The London Electrician is the authority for q
new and easy method for relieving the toothache.
1t says that if q thin plate of zinc be placed on
one side of the gum and a silver coin on the other
side, with the aching tooth between them, and
then the edges of the metals brought together, a
weak galvanc current will be established that
will cure the pain. 1t looks possible, and is the
sort of thing that one could easily get somebody
to try.

"Washy" Horses.-With reckless drivers
and inconsiderate feeders there are great many
"washy" horses, in other words, horses with lax
bowels. This comes in great measure from in
judicious feeding and driving, although some
horses are naturally liable to the complaint. If
you have such horse, don't give him medicine,
but use some judgment both in driving and feeding
When starting, give the horse his time for cou-
pie of miles, until he becomes somewhat empty;
this at the same time will prevent broken wind
in good many cases. In feeding, give the ami
NAL water first, which he will take readily when
accustomed to the plan. After watering, which
should not consist of more than small bucketful,
give him small bunch of hay before morning
and noon feed, and more before night feed, which
should be given later than usual, when practical
BILE. The usual plan is to give grain as soon as
possible after entering the stable, because he is
hungry. This is entirely wrong, and by trying
the other plan you will soon find he will appa-
rently enjoy his feed more I have had several
horses affected in that way and permanently cured
them without resorting to medicine. A small
portion of old process fax-seed meal (say two
table spoonsful each night is very beneficial.
The worst case had yielded to this treatment,
with the addition of generous quantity of carrots
Every person who has horse should have a
good supply of carrots during the season, and it
is not yet too late to plant. Try it this summer.

III. w;dow Of General Hancock bade farewe

The widow of General Hancock babe farewell
to her old home on Governors Island on Satur-
day last, going to the house of Nicholas Gwynn,
the father of her widowed daughter in law, Mrs.
Russell Hancock, in New York, until her plans
for the future can be arranged. This step was
rendered necessary by the official order instructing
Lieutenant Griffin, who had been ostensibly en-
gagged in settling up the late heros affairs, to re-
port at Washington for service and had been de-
layed by the War Department until not even .
sincere sympathy for Mrs. HancOck's bereavement
warranted further detention of the order. Mrs.
Hancock is still suffering from the nervous shock
received when her husband died and is in utter
ignorance of her own financial position or what
she will do hereafter.

Organizing for Protection.-The farmers
of Long Green and Dulany's Valley having be-
come alarmed at the recent visitations of horse
thieves in those sections of the county, held a
meeting at Unionville, Wednesday afternoon, to
organize detective association in order that they
may be better prepared to cope with these scoun.
drels. The organization proposes to take in all
of the 18th district with citizens of other districts
who may desire to become members. Such an as
ISOLATION, well organized and equipped, can rem
der good service in following up and detecting
thieves, as every active member has his work
marked out for him in advance and he knows
exactly what to do as soon an alarm is sent out.
Every farmer-in fact every man who owns stock
should become a member of this association,
because the larger it is the more effective will its
operations become. Self protection demands that
prompt action should be taken.

Abandon Covered Bridges.-It will be
happy day for travellers when the nuisance of
covered bridges will have gone out of date forever
The most interesting features in the landscape
everywhere are where water courses are met and
traversed by bridges. A running stream, whether
large or small, with an old mill in view of the
waters tumbling over dam, is always welcome
sight to the sight-seer as he speeds along. To
hide these things from sight therefore is to rob
the landscape of its attractveness and the travel
er of half his pleasure Covered bridges there
fore nuisance that cannot be abated too soon.
A good coat of paint will preserve the timbers of
a wooden bridge as effectually as roof, and be
at the same time cheaper and sightlier.

Horse Thieves at Work.-Some time after
IL o'clock on Sunday night last at very fine bay
mare, new top buggy and new harness were
stolen from the stable of Mr.. Philip T. George, in
Long Green Valley, since which time nothing has
been heard of the team, although a reward of
$3.50 has been offered and kilograms have been
sent in all direction. The mare was favorite
driving animal of Mr.. Georges and the whole team
was valued at fully 81, 900. The thief must have
been previously posted about the location of
stable, carriage house, &C., in order to fit himself
out so completely.
On Tuesday, 1st inst, bay horse was stolen
from the stable of Mr.. John G. Booth, near Nor
gan's Mill, Dulany's Valley, and although re-
ward of S25 has been offered, nothing has been
heard of him.
The people in that neighborhood are considera-
bly, agitated over these thiefts and it is feared
that a we'll organized and bold gang of horse
thieves are engaged in the work. Neither pains
nor expense should be spared in hunting down
the thieves.

Thomas Run, has had two cows rendered value
less for milking purposes, it is thought by snake
bite. In both cases teat became swollen and
infamed, the cows became very sick, and the bags
continued to swell until they burst, in spite of the
assiduous application of preventives. The boy

Good Neighbors.-Our frail humanity is so
dependent upon surroundings-we so need
each others help, that we cannot afford to be
other than good neighbors. For however indie
pendent of our fellows we may imagine ourselves
to be, there is sure to come time when we crave
human companionship and aid, and then it will
be we'll for us to have sought "the good folk"
who really and truly live everywhere, if you only
find them"
