gentlemen has said that he will be obliged tc
move his family away on account of the nuisance
The nuisance of ball playing in the streets

vacant lots were the boys can amuse themselves
without endangering persons and property on thu

"A Towsontown gentleman went down tt
Colchester Beach on a fishing excursion ano
brought home lot of horrible looking things
which he called toad-fsh, two of which he sent tc

variety-and it tasted tirst-rate mixed with lit.
tie Colchester water.
A Towsontown man struck streak of luck
on Monday. While in the city he invested "a
cents in a combination in of the pool rooms
and after the race over had the satisfaction
of pocketing SS4.75 on the result. But we woul Id
not advise any one to follow his example. Very
few such prizes are drawn.
The patrons of Gwinn postoffice baldwin
Station, M. C. R. R. have petitioned the De.
partment to have the name of the office changed

will decline to change the name for that reason.
We were informed last week that one OF

Some 9Th district oratory was fired of
before the County Commissioners on Tuesday,
and all on account of little local road supervisor
ship. There were two sides, OF course, and the
"orators" literally made things howl around there.
In the midst of such brilliancy it would be diff
cult to say which side did the best, but we assume
that the side which did the worst won the day
that is the Board appointed their man in order
to save itself from being talked to death.
Mrs Eleanora NJ. Cole died at the resi-
dence of her son, Mr.. j. G. LIE Grand Cole, on
Oak street, in the Belt on Sunday afternoon last,
in the Goth year of her age. The death of her
son, DIR. VIM. II. Cole, member of Congress from
Baltimore city, which occurred in Washington,
on the Sth inst, greatly Frustrated Mrs. Cole and
brought on an attack of congestion of the brain,
which caused her death only short time before
the hour liked for the funeral of DIR. Cole.
Henry Hundertmark, husband ofthe woman
who is now in the penitentiary for killing an old
man named Ensor, who was trespassing on her
property near Notre Dame Station, Maryland
Central railroad, appeared at the County Clerks
office few days ago and wanted q license to
marry another woman. He thought the fact that
his wife was serving term in the penitentiary
was all the divorce he needed, but when informed
to the contrary he departed without the license.
"A few weeks ago colored man came to
the County Clerks Office for a marriage license.
To the question whether he had ever been mar
ried before, he replied that he had but that his
wife was dead. The license was issued to him
and short time thereafter q colored preacher
wrote to the Clerk to know if the man had been
divorced before he obtained the license, saying
that his first wife was still living. &c. So it
would appear that this fellow is now just trife
too much married.
The Baltimore Light Infantry, who fur
nished Towsontown with coat of new paint on
the 9Th of July, will go into camp for five days at
Colchester. If their vocal organs are in as good
condition as they were when the command was
here, we advise the quiet farmers who live near
COLCHESTER to get back into the country if they
want to save their ear drums. We are finding no
fault with "the boys" but we are willing to give
good odds and bet that they can make more noise
for the size and number of 'em then any other
similar organization in the country
