many friends of DIR. ]. F. H. Gorsuch

The many friends OF DIR. j. +. IL. G0rsuch
a prominent young physician Of the 18th district
are much pleased that he came off successful in
the damage case tried in the Circuit Court here
last week. He has been successful practitioner
and his reputation has not suffered by the deter
mined fight made against him in this case.
Rev. j. W. Gray, formerly pastor of EPSON
M. P. Church, Towsontown, but who now has
charge of Anne Arundel Circuit, received dona-
ton visit from his people on Tuesday evening.
They brought with them three barrels of -four, a
ton of coal, besides enough groceries and provi-
sions of all kinds to fill a two-horse wagon.
Col. John N. Carroll and several other Bal
timore countians were in Washington a few days
ago for the purpose Of securing the establishment
of two postofices-one at Bloomfield Valley, and
the other at The Caves, both in the 4th district.
Christian Westerman is recommended for post
master at Bloomfield, and Mrs. Harvey Jones at
The Caves.
Col. S. N. Hyde, the extensive Gamer of
Long Green Valley, has already housed about 375
tons of ice. His facilities for putting up the ice
are irst-class and when in full operation he was
able to store about ten tons per hour. His ice is
between six and eight inches thick and the snow
having been removed from his ponds, it is clear
as crystal and solidly frozen.
On Saturday night last colored tramp
was arrested in Woodbury. for trying to force an
entrance into the Northern Central railroad sta
ton at that place. He said he was Democrat
and that he was on his way to Washington to run
against Cleveland for President. He was put in
the station house and was released the next day,
as he was thought to be harmless crank.
Mr.. Joseph P. Bayne who has been resi-
dent of Cleveland, Ohio, for about two years, is
home to spend the Christmas holidays. He is q
son of Mr.. John Bayne, of Baynesville, east of
Towsontown and is connected with the engineers
department of that city. His brother, Mr.. VIM.
M. Bayne, is q successful business man of Cleve-
land, has served in the city council several times
and is now spoken of for mayor.
Volume thirty seven is completed with this
issue of The Union. The paper is old enough
and strong enough to stand alone, and its general
business was never in q more prosperous condl-
ton than it is to-day. Of course we feel pleased
and grateful to our friends and patrons that such
is the case, and it shall be our aim to keep the
paper up to the position it has attained in the es-
timation of the best people in the county.
Two weeks ago we stated that The UNION
had subscriber whose subscription was paid to
December 31st. 1890. Now comes Brother Baker,
of the Belair Kgis, who says he has subscriber
whose account is paid to July 18th, 1892. Well,
his man takes the Ba-beg pardon; we mean
the 1Egis-for long time ahead, but if he should
die in the meantime then he "cawn't do it, ye
know" unless he has left his future address with
the editor.
The pupils of the Towsontown public
school gave highly creditable entertainments on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week,
which were attended by large and appreciative
audiences The children who took part evinced
evidences of the most careful training, rejecting
much credit upon the principal, Prof. Hanna, and
his assistant teachers. The proceeds of the en-
tertainments are to be applied to paying for the
new piano now in use in the school.
Mr. Joshua Muinix, who is a resident OF
the I'd district, Baltimore county, is now 81 years
of age and is still in the enjoyment of tolerably
good health and is able to walk about. He has
been married twice and is the father of twenty five
children, thirteen of whom are still living, the
youngest being a daughter 10 years of age. Mr..
Milinix was paralyzed nine years ago, his right
side having been affected, but he still has good
prospects of being centenarian. He is native
of Charlestown, Va
This is good time in the year to remem-
Der the poor-not merely by thinking of them,
but by doing something that will contribute to
their comfort and pleasure. Those upon whom
fortune has smiled should not forget that there are
many others who have been unfortunate from va
rous causes and it is this class that should never
be neglected, more especially so at this season.
And above all, don't forget the little children
whose parents are unable to provide them with
those things so dear to the childish heart The
Lord will surely bless those who contribute of
their abundance to the pleasure of the little ones
whom He loves so well.
