;rcstlc bridge of the W. VI. II II at Cham
bersbury came very near being destroyed by

of the lamp on the bridge. The oil ran over

FERTILIzERs-- railroads hayc almost
been blockadcd with fertilizers during the
past two or three weeks, and every freight
car on all the roads has been in demand
Few people have any idea of the enormous
proportions of this trade. We estimate
from pretty reliable data that the amount
| used this year in Washington county will
| not cost much less than $250,000. The an
nIal production of wheat amounts to about
one and half million of bushels, which at
! so cents is worth 81 00,00O-thc cost of the
fertilizers being over onc-hfth of the gross
value of the crop.-MaH
A WORD TO PARENTS. Now that the

tial that parents should see that their chill.

dance. This is a duty the parents owe to
themselves as we'll AS to the children, and
the better the early rule is lived up TO, the
better will be the result when the school
closes 1t is not too well known to prohibit
repetition at this time that every child
whether boy or girl, cannot get too much OF
what is called education, and the more he
or she has, the better are they for it.
The Catoctin Clarion ispropcrly indignant
| Mt the utterly dcmoralizcd condition of the
mai Is between tins city and Mrchanicstown
We heartily agree with the view the Clarion
is inclined to take of this matter, and in turn
enter our hearty protest against the miscra.
bic accommodations now existing. If talking
about this matter would serve to remedy the
evil we would he perfectly willing to do our
share of that, but as we believe the case de-
mands action more than anything else, we
promise the Clorton that if it will point out
in practical and detailed way just wherein
the difficulty lies we will be willing enough
to fight the battle at this end OF the line

In the first place there is nothing wrong
with our mail communication with Frcder

not say there was. Had the editor Of tho
