Fork, 18th District.-We have had an old
fashioned snow storm for several days. One OF the
weather prophets predicted that on the 9th inst
one of the greatest snow storms experienced In
this vicinity for 100 years would occur. His pre-
diction is nearer truth than many others. 1t
caught number unprepared for such weather,
not being done butchering or having large wood
piles.
Mr., Henry Lee and Mr.. Edwin Gorsuch came
near having their dwellings burned lately, both
accidently catching fire, but were saved by timely
efforts.
Mr.. Gorsuch is suffering with acute rhematsm
"a very painful disease.
DR.. Altvater has met with a great loss in the
death of his wife, which occurred on Saturday last.
She suffered long time with that dread disease,
consumption, but bore her affection with great
patience. She was an affectionate, sef-sacrifcing
wife and mother and her family will miss her
kindly presence more than pen can describe.
Your correspondent at Kingsville said in his
last communication that "grand old-fashioned
protracted meeting closed at Fork Church, &c
;'Now is the time for your correspondent at FORK
to begin his good work in behalf of the temper
ance cause in that section;" that he "concurred
with him that the evil of intemperance was be-
coming more apparent in this vicinity every day.
Our zeal for the temperance cause has not abated
We see every day greater need for renewed effort
in that direction. We hope the good done OF the
meeting referred to may increase until every sim
ner who attends the church may be saved, every
Christian revived, and protesting Christians be sc
IMPRESSED with the Importance of being out ana

that they are something more than professors anc

Christians should abstain from all that intoxicates

Found Dead in the Snow.-On Wednesday
afternoon last son of Mr.. William Bowen OF s.,
who owns the farm of the late Robert Jenkins,
short distance above Towsontown, found the dead
body of colored man lying upon the ground near
the ice pond on his fathers place. The body was
lying upon its face and was almost hidden from
view by the snow. Justice Miller was notified
and after summoning jury proceeded to hold an
inquest. DIR. Harry S. Jarrett examined the body
and found no marks of violence upon it. 1t was
his opinion that the man, whose name was Frank
Burroughs. had died from intemperance and ex-
posure, and verdict was rendered accordingly.
Burroughs was about 80 years of age and half,
witted fellow who came here from Anne Arundel
county several years ago. On Saturday night last
Mr. A. D. Talbot found him in the yard attached
to his residence and brought him up to Towson-
town to hand him over to an officer. Being un-
able to find an officer he let Burroughs 60 and the
last seen of him alive was some time after Il
o'clock the same night. 1t is supposed he wan
dered off after that, and, becoming stupefed from
cold and drink, fell down and was frozen to death
The body was buried at the expense of the county

Harford's New Railroad.-The charter OF
the proposed Deer Creek and Susquehanna Kali
road has been approved by Judge Waters. The
following are named as incorporators Johns IL.
Janney, D. c. Wharton Smith, Benjamin Silver,
Jr., Joshua Husband, Jr., Col. Herman Stump, s.
A. Williams, James Lee, VIM. H. Bailess, George
E. Silver, W. Beatty Harlan, Judge John II. Price,
James F. Kenly and Joshua G. Smith. The route
named in the charter is from some point near
river near Conowingo bridge, and from some
point on the same line near Glenville to Belair.-
The project is exciting considerable interest and
it would seem that the proposed new road is now
and assured fact. Its terminus at Belair must
mean that it is proposed to connect it with the
Maryland Central, which is the most natural and
easy outlet for the rich section through which the
road is to pass, and such connection cannot fan
to be of vast benefit to the proposed road as well
as to our own, which, through the excellent man
agement of Messrs. Spencer and Gilmore, is get
ting on its feet and promises to fulfill the mos
sanguine expectations of its friends and we'll
wishers.

DAVIS last week in the trial of the cases of Mary
E. Forwood vs. Caleb V. Cherbonnier, removed
from Baltimore county. The facts in the case
were that in September, 1885, Mr.. Cherbonnier's
buggy was run into, while standing at the Copper
Factory, on the Hartford road, by Mrs. Forwoods
team, driven by her teamster. The buggy was
damaged and the owner, not getting the satisfac-
ton which he thought he ought to have as to the
ownership of the team, took the lead horse and
harness homo with him. Mr.. Forwood went that
night and demanded the horse and harness, but
Mr.. Cherbonnier refused to give them up unless
he was first paid $25, the amount Of the damage
to his buggy Mr.. Forwood then came to Tow
sontown and entered suit. The two cases, one for
the recovery of the property and the other tol
damages growing out of the transaction, were IL
nally removed to the Hartford court. Both case;
were submitted to the same jury on the evidence,
Mr.. Cherbonnier claiming that the driver gave
him the horse and harness as security for the
! damage done, and a verdict was rendered for thu
plaintiff for the return of the property, one cen
damages and costs. Messrs. Young and Williams

He Kindled the Fire with Goal OLA
colored man named Dan Harris, employed as a
servant in the family of Mr.. Chester B. Turnbuii,
a short distance below Towsontown, on Thursday
afternoon tried an experiment, which he will not
be likely to repeat very soon. Mr.. and Mrs. Turn
bull were in the city at the time and Harris whose
duty it was to attend to the furnace, found as ne
thought, that the fire had gone out Wishing to
re. kindle it quickly he poured quantity OF coal
oil upon the coal, when instantly there was ter
rife explosion. Harris's clothing was set on nre
and his face, hands and arms badly burned, while
the furnace and heat pipes were considerably dam
aged. Mr.. Turnbuli got home shortly after the
occurrence and found Harris suffering very much
and the other servants in high state OF excite,
ment. Proper remedies we're at once applied and
the injured man was made as comfortable as pos
sible Mr.. Turnbull, when demonstrating with

he had been doing the same thing for long time
but it is quite safe to say he will not try it again
very soon.

Attacked by Jersey Bull.-Charles H.
Sheridan, who farms Mr. Samuel Chews property,
nearrowsontown, has very fine young thorough
bred Jersey bull that has lately become very vi
cious Last Sunday Keal Young, brother-in-
law Mr.. Sherdans, and who is employed by
him 3 attend to the cattle, was passing through
the brn-yard with basket of corn, when the
bull made for him with his head down. Mr..
Youn, backed towards one of the stable doors,
keeping the animal off with the basket of corn
Whenhe got within reaching distance of the door
it bling double one, the upper portion being
partly open-he grasped the closed part, hoping
to opn it and escape. Just as he grasped the
door he bull made lunge and got him on his
horns, tossing him up about fifteen feet. AS he
went mp his shoulder struck the open door, fore
ing it from its hinges and carrying it with him.
Young and the door came down together, and
fortunately it fell between him and the bull, thus
giving him some protection. In the mean time
he called loudly for help and Mr.. Sheridan, who
was in the barn, rushed out with pitch-fork and
after giving the bull several severe prods with the
shap tines, succeeding in driving him off and
doubtless saving his brother-n-law's life. Young
was hurt only slightly, but he said afterwards it
was the closest call he had ever had. Mr.. Sheri-
dan has determined to get rid of the bull before
he has an opportunity to do any further damage.
