Hebbville. I'D District Hebbyille, until

Hebbville, I'd District.-Hebbville until
very recently unknown to the world, at least until
Congressman Shaw gave it an origin, for whlcn
much praise is due, is situated about nine miles
from Baltimore. Since its christening by Dr.
Shaw business of all kinds has received quite an
impetus. The ring of the anvil and the sound OF
the plane unmistakable evidences of thrift ana
Improvement. Our mechanics are very busy, not
having time to give attention to the ten-hour
SYSTEM" much less the "eight." Mr.. Charles
Detmer (carpenter) and others, worked nine days
last week. which is another evidence ofthe progress
of Hebbville. The "whoa" and "haw- gee" OF the
pillow boys in our environs inform that the
farmer is no less alive than our mechanics, whose
luxurant crops bespeak their thrift and great ac-
tivity. 1t is said that Mr.. August Stearn will
beat the county in wheat, but Mr.. VIM. Il. Upton
begs to differ with him on that point.
Children's Day at St. Luke's was very enjoy
able occasion. hechurch was beautifully decora-
ted with evergreens and flowers. The programme,
though long, was very interesting throughout.
Children's Day at Emmart's was similar to that
of St. Lukes. The church was beautifully trimmed
by the ladies and great deal of taste was exhibited
Mr.. Charles Weiderman had very narrow
escape the other day. He was helping to unload
logs at Mr.. Gerard Emmart's saw-mill. when
log, sixteen feet long and two feet IN diameter,
started from the wagon, knocking him backward
across another log and rolling upon his stomach,
laid until the ponderous log could be lifted OIL
1t seems miracle that he not fatally crushed
1t is thought that had not the wagon upset as the
log descended death would have been the inevita-
BILE result. He was brought home to Lemuel Wei
derman's and DR.. Hebb called in. The DIR. at
first thought he was fatally injured internally, but
he is doing very we'll and no doubt will soon be on
his feet again.
Sergeant Handy, of the city police force, and
wife were guests of Mr.. John Upton lately. He
informed your correspondent that MIR. Charles b.
Foreman, formerly of the White Grounds, but who
emigated to the mountains of West Virginia some
time ago, and engaged in the cattle business, In
which he was very successful, has returned. He
intends buying large farm in this section and
going into the same business on very large scale.
The sergeant also said if Mr.. Foreman had re-
manned in the mountains much longer be would
have cleared them of bears and deer. Two of the
latter he brought on with him, out of the tanned
hides of which he had boots made.
Mr.. Daniel Smith, who sold his farm recently,
has bought property in the city and engaged in
| the hay business. Any countryman who wishes
ready sale for his hay, or city folks to purchase,
can find Mr. Smith at the Western Scales at any
time.
The cancer doctor, R. A. Simpson, of York, Pa,
who has been very successful In curing that disease
by chemical process, the same as mentioned in
last weeks UNION, has undertaken to cure Mrs.
Emmart, in which it is hoped he will be successful.
little daughter of Hartman H. Hahn, while a
pupil of Mt. Alto private school, had a cancerous
growth back of her ear, which successfully re-
moved by the chemical process and it has never
since returned. This cancer is preserved in alec.
hol and can be seen at any time. 1t requires from
ten to twelve days to remove cancer by this pro-
cess.
Messrs. Monterey and Adcphus smink, of this
place, are concreting the walks of the square on
Eutaw Place. near Boundary avenue, which, when
completed, will be an ornament to them as well as
to the city.
Mr.. Brayshaw, gate-keeper on the Franklin
road is the most observing and best in the coun-
try, as he knows every vehicle that passes and
what each is laden with the drivers, whether
MANNED, halt or blind, THAT is blind drunk,) and
can always give information as to who have passed
and those yet to follow. His place, if vacated,
could not be easily filled.
The German pic mic, held last Monday, not
withstanding the rain, was quite success, forty
gallons of ice-cream and other sweetmeats having
been sold. Everything passed off quietly, there
being no disturbance to mar the pleasure of the
occasion. L.
