Hebbville, 2d District.-Your correspondent
after two months Illuminating in q foreign cline
has returned and finds Hetbville standing, not
withstanding the earthquake shocks and Dem
ccratic primary, either of which is calculated
(unless bought of) to sink Gibraltar much lesl
Hebbville.
The Democratic primary recently held in thi.
district was as primaries generally are, farce and
mockery, votes being freely bought and sold.-
Truly that highest boon given to an American
citizen is becoming terribly corrupted so much So
at least that most stringent laws should be passed
| to preserve the purity of the ballot box and the
sanctity of American suffrage against manipula
tors and political scoundrels. AS a Democratic
primary is equivalent to election in Baltimore
county, such laws should be enacted that citizen
| who would dare sell his birthright for "mess OF
porridge" should be ostracsed and never be allowed
to vote. Then and not till then will we have
honest elections. The Sun newspaper, in speaking
that If the Democratic party did not get its eyes
open soon they will be opened for it. This ia
true of both the old parties. The people are
| becoming tired Of political tricksters and the
| party lash, breaking the fetters that have bound
them to the old parties and assuming an inde-
pendence that, as the Sun says, will open the eyes
| of the old parties sooner or later
| The new church is fast approaching completion
| and will soon be ready for dedication. It will be
quite an ornament TO this section when finished.
| The bell and its attachments weigh 600 pounds.
| II has fine tone and can be heard q great dis
tance. The Rev. ii. N. Greninger, pastor in
| charge who has proven himself quite an adept in
/ the mechanical departments well in the pull
/ pit, and who has labored faithfully the
church, was presented with a $25 suit of clothes
/ by the congregation. The sun burned features Of
| the Rev. gentleman in new broadcloth appears
| far more handsome than our kid gloved ministers.
| Mr.. Franklin ParIett bought traction engine
| Of J. Thomas 4 Co, at Pimlico, which was run by
steam over the roads from Pimlico TO his farm and
which drew another heavy engine after it. 1t is
intended for his farm.
| M. Frederick Hemp, manager for Mr.. Martin
Scheller, gave his son, j. w. Hemp, a atwenty-frst
birthday party, which was largely attended. The
-out certainly spoke we'll for the hostess, to
which all did ample justice. 1t wasa very enjoy
| able affair.
Mr.. John Upton lost very fine sucking colt,
sired by Orange Blossom. Its death was caused
| by its mother being overheated.
| Two meetings were held recently by the patrons
| of the private school, Mr. George Longley pre-
| sided. The object of the meetings was to reduce
the school fee, purchase fuel and appoin school
committee, all of VIII oh was at the request Of the

the patrous to furnish the fuel etc. Messrs. Geo.
Longley. Adolphus Smink, William Libnold,

pointed school committee, or trustees, to super
| intend the school.
Matrimonial affairs are receiving quite boom
in this section, so much so that your correspon-
dent is almost persuaded "to splice on" But

damsel of "der Fodder land" was married last
Sunday afternoon in St. Luke's church. The

Mr.. John Mackin will take his daughter, Rosa,
| who has been aling for several years, to be ex-
| amined by Prof. Rust, of Baltimore. 1t is hoped
that the Professor will be able to locate the disease

Hereford, 7th District.-Time travels apace
and we promise ourselves to do many things which
are never accomplished because this steady trav-
eer will not tarry to suit the convenience of man.
| But omissions and commissions, performances and
neglects, duties and pleasures, are so many acts in
the drama of life passing into history for the in
struction and may we not hope in some respects
| for the benefit of future generations.
| Our staid old village is doing its part in these
respects, and while wanting in the activities of
| other places, has its incidents and events. Last
| month the colored people held camp-meeting
and the white folks it for them, and the poll

the morals of some of the young men. Entertain
ments and pic-nics are furnishing pleasure and
recreation for all classes while the financial pro-
ceeds aid worthy objects in the churches and So
ceties Sickness and death make an occasional
victim, yet the increase in population exceeds the
decrease.
The farmers are busy in the labors of the season
and the corn shocks that dot the fields tell of the
maturing of autumn grains, while the seed sowing
in progress is the preparation for the anticipated

| can tell who shall be the reapers. But harvests
| and reapers will come not only in the fields but
also in life. and it is to be wished that the people
would be as careful in sowing good seed as the
farmer in sowing good grain that the harvest
might be equally satisfactory and profitable. But
thissbusy world has so much to claim our time and
attention in the present that too little leisure is
| given to the immortal and eternal of the future
| which we fear will cause remorse when too late.
| However, your correspondent prefers to commend
rather than censure, to encourage rather than
Judge; and while there is wide margin for i'm
| provement, commendable zeal in moral and re-
| ligious things prove that many are not Negligent
| of their eternal interests.
On Sept 10th the Middle District Baptist Asso-
citation met in our village. This body is composed
| of some of the Baptist Churches of Baltimore and
all those located in Baltimore county. The pro-
gramme consisted of preaching and discussion Of
subjects relating to missions and church prosperity
In the report on home missions the success of the
Levering Manual Labor School for the Indians
was highly commended. This school is located in
the Creek nation of the Indian territory, where a
number of the pattYas arts rs and also given proper
moral and religious training, and we could not
help thinking how much more humane and bene-
fetal such course to that of making them the
| victims of uuprincipled agents or making them
| targets for powder Snd ball when their i'll treat
ment excites them to revenge. In the temperance
discussion the political parties were censured for
their want of moral courage and pandering to the
rum power, and voters were urged to make tenn
perance matter Of principle and conscience, and
if present success not attainable he who voted
for principle never wasted his vote, for truth and
right were mighty and would prevail. Other dis
| cussons Of equal merit and importance with able
sermons by pastors Harris Ellis and Nchol, of
Baltimore occupied the sessions Of two DAYS to the
entertainment and profit of all attending while the
abundant bospitalities bespoke the good will OF the
church and ELECTED the praise Of all the visitors
