Fullerton, 18th District.-Children's Day
services were held at Gatch's M. E. Church, Sun
day, goth inst, and we're greatly enjoyed by the
young people. The church was beautifully dec
Grated with growing plants, cut flowers, wreaths
and festooning The officers and scholars (about
rs in number) met at Mr.. Gorsuch's and forming
in line marched to the church, singing "The
Sunday School Army" The exercises consisted
of responsive reading by the superintendent Alex.
Mccormick and Thos. Gorsuch, and the scholars;
singing by the school and two quartets; also re-
citations by several of the scholars. The pastor,
Rev. J. c. Nicholson, delivered an address to the
children taking for his text: "And the little foxes
destroyed the young vines" &C., which made
very interesting by many illustrations.
raspberry festival held at the church
last Wednesday evening and quite a pleasant time
was had. The grounds were brightly illuminated
and tables were set in convenient places. The
church was also open and many enjoyed them
selves with music.
Children's Day" services will be held at Andrew
Chapel, M. E. Church South, next Sunday.
Quite a number of persons from Fullerton
visited Towsontown last week, to make applica-
ton for the position of road supervisor, lately
held by Mr.. Jas. M. Smith. The applicants
were: John Klein, Edward Krastel, Adam Len
hoff and N. W. Smith. Mr.. Smith only wanted
10 serve the REMAINDER vi MS DTOIuoT Lmo, WulCu
was granted. Mr.. Lenhoff generously withdrew
his application when he found his friends wanted
the position and threw his influence to Mr. Kras-
| tel, who received the appointment, to date from
the expiration of Mr.. Smiths term of Office 1t is
thought that some of the applicants were little
"too previous it is reported that the friends of
some of them were going around getting signers
to petitions before Mr.. Smith died, and they real
ly were going around the next day or SO after his
| death.
A pair of cuffs was found by the postmaster at
| Fullerton, on the Belair road, opposite the post
Office, last Monday morning, which the owner can
procure by applying at the office. N'IMpoRT.
Rossville, 18th District.-The article in
last weeks UNION on Bachelors" was quite ia
| vorably received in this section by the members
| of that fraternity. 1t was indeed refreshing to
| have such able defense given of the motives,
intentions, &C., of those who are so unfortunate
as not to have better halves. In fact it was ike
| sunshine after long spell of cloudy, gloomy
| weather. For however much bachelors may ap-
preciate their condition, it seems to meet with
| pretty general dsfavor in all circles of society,
| save their own, and great is the pressure that
goodly number of the chaps give evidence that
| they not exactly content with their lot and
| manifest an anxious desire to have chance to
| step over into the state of double blessedness.
Me thinks the article written by kind
| tron who has unmarried sons.
/
dren's Day was appropriately observed at Ebe-
nezer Church on 18th inst. The church was beau
! tifuy decorated with flowers and evergreens,
and it is thought this entertainment excelled all
of the appointments on the circuit in this partic-
ular. Very choice flowers were supplied by Mr..
| Richard Vincent, Jr., from his green houses. The
exercises interesting, the attendance large,
and the collection good.
| On Sunday afternoon last enthusiastic tenn
| perance meeting held at Orem's Church. Adj
| dresses were delivered by speakers from Balti-
| more, the most of whom are supposed to be third
! party prOhibitionists.
Mrs. Stephen Daugherty, whose hOuse was
burned some weeks ago, has had it replaced with
larger and better one and is now occupying the
new building. Principle.
Fork, 18th District.-The temperance meet
ing held in Shirley Hall ON the evening of 10th
inst, was all that could be desired The hall was
comfortably filled with respectable audience, who
seemed deeply interested and were highly enter
tanned by speeches from Mr.. Edwin Higgins,
president, and Mr. c. S. Mosher, secretary of the
State Temperance Alliance also by Rev. A. j.
Gill, of the Woodbury. NJ. E. Church. The speak
ers were so thoroughly in earnest that every one
present no doubt felt convinced that the time has
arrived for the people to throttle the great mon
ster intemperance and drive it from our midst
We are expecting great good to emanate from the
meeting, for already nucleus for temperance
society has been formed which will, we hope Gull
inmate in much benefit to the people of this neigh
berhood, who never before heard the truth so fully
expounded as by the gentlemen named above

Reisterstown Baseball Club.-The fol-
lowing paragraph appeared in The UNION last |
week. do not know what enmity The UNION |
has against the Resterstown boys, but sense of |
home pride constrains me to reply to it:
"Those Reisterstown lodhoppers who call
themselves the Eclipse base. ball club, had very
severe eye to the eternal fitness of things when
they selected name, as they have been 'eclipsed'
by about everything in the shape of a baseball
nine that has so far landed in that town. But yet
they think they know it all and the way they cock
their hats on one side and talk big about betting,
might make one laugh were it not for the utter
righteousness of the thing. The Blind Asylum
nine expect to have picnic when it gets hold of
the Eclipse aggregation"
In reply I simply have to say tina. the "Eclipse"
and judging by their past record their name is
not misnomer, only being "ecpsed" but once
last season, by the Woodberry nine, which they
have "eclipsed" this season, as seen below-played
on last Saturday week at Westminster, and beat
that nine by score of 81 to 7, and ON Whit Mon
day played the Red Stockings, of Woodbury., and
beat them by score of to4. Have not the Refs
terstown nine right to "cock their hats on one
side" &C.? ANON.
Wesley Chapel, 10th District.-A serious
and fatal accident occurred at White Hall on Sun
1~.k AI.kx
Parkton accommodation stopped at that point
colored boy, in the employ of Mr.. William Wise,
was in the habit of stepping on the train and
riding short distance and then getting off, but
this time he rode little too far and in getting off
he fell and the wheels of the car passed over him,
cutting off both legs and crushing his skull. The
boy lived but short time after being caught by
the train. This is another warning to persons in
the habit of jumping on and off trains while in
motion.
There is a disease among the young cattle in
this neighborhood that is causing many Deaths
Mr.. Elihu Cuddy has lost three, Mr.. John B.
Pearce four, and several other farmers have suf-
fered losses.
The potato crop is suffering very much from
potato bugs. They seem to be more numerous
than ever before.
The farmers of this vicinity are in the midst of
hay harvest, which many of them say is the heavi.
est crop they ever saw. One of my neighbors will
cut at least two hundred tons. c.
