We receive many letters from persons who
desire to become subscribers to The UNION, but
who fail to send the necessary funds to cover the
price of subscription. When We know the writer's
this will do very well, but in case they are I'M
known to US, as frequently happens, we cannot
send the paper. The best plan is always to en-
close the money and then your request will receive
prompt attention.
Rev. c. Herbert Richardson, pastor of
Broadway NJ. e. Church, Baltimore, has been
unanimously invited to return to McKendrie NJ.
E. Church, Washington, of which he was pastor
three years ago. Mr. Richardson is we'll known

located here, once in Towsontown His wife is
daughter of the late William Jessop, of Vaux
Hall, this county.
"A party of gentlemen came over from Phil |
adelphia last week and visited Hon. II. B. Hol- !
toms Meadow View farm, in this county, their OBJ
ject being to purchase Mr.. Holton's trotting gel
ding "Orange Boy" record 2:29. They offered |
more than $4,000 for the horse but his owner said
he would not think of parting with him for any
sum less than $4,000. The Phladelphians went |
back disappointed.
Since Mr.. John C. Wrenshal has been con-
nected with the Maryland Central road, as re-
ceiver, he has shown himself most level-headed
and sagacious manager, and the affairs of the |
company are now in far better condition than |
when he assumed control In addition to his
recognized business tact and ability, Mr. Wren |
shall is most polite and clever gentleman, and |
the patrons of the road, with whom he was thrown
in almost daily contact, will regret to part with
him.
We hope that the change which took place |
in the management Of the Maryland Central Com |
pany this week will not effect the passenger con-
ductors and other efficient employees of the road.
Conductors Burke, johnson and Warner have |
been connected with the road, in one capacity or |
another, since it commenced running and by their |
uniformly good conduct, polite and careful atten-
ton to the wants and comforts of their passen-
gers, have won for themselves hosts Of friends
and the concentrations of oil Tho sama may
be said of many other employees who have been
faithful to the trusts reposed in them, and their
retention will no doubt be gratifying to the pa
irons of the road generally.
A Joke That Proved to be Expensive
On Saturday last Judge Yellott heard evidence
in a case of much more than usual interest. 1t
came before the Court on an appeal by VIM. M.
Tobn who lives on the Reisterstown turnpike,
about two miles below Owings's Mills, from a
judgment rendered by Justice S. P. Storm, of |
Reisterstown, in favor of Charles j. Beckley for
the of $50. 1t in evidence that the de- |
PENDANT, William NJ. Tobin, had made bet with
John Hause that be (Hause) would be arrested |
that day for the larceny Of the horse and wagon |
he was then driving. After Hause left Tobin's |
place he (Tobin) telegraphed to Constable Chas. |
j. Beckley, of Reisterstown, description of Hause
and the horse and wagon in his possession, stat |
ing that they had been stolen and offering re- |
ward of $5S for the apprehension of Hause and |
the recovery of the property. Beckley arrested |
Hause and took him before Tobin, when it was |
explained that the whole thing was joke. Beck |
ley then released Hause but claimed the reward |
which Tobn refused to pay. Suit was subse-
quently instituted by Beckley against Tobin be-
fore Justice Storm, who, after hearing the evil
dence in the case gave judgment in favor of
Beckley for the full amount of the reward offered
by Tobin in his telegram. Judge Yeott affirmed
the judgment Of Justice Storm, with COSTS which
amount to S24.0S.
