The recent blizzard and snow storm was ex-
tremely severe in this section. By-roads were
much blockadaded and the York turnpike was
impossible from heavy drifts.
Mr.. Geo. r. NOVEL; and Drs. Fred. and Alex.
Mitchell were among the passengers who were
snow-bound recently on the w. NJ. r. R. They
were on their way to Hagerstown to attend the
funeral of their grandmother, Mrs. Alex. Mitch

One of our estimable friends, prominent coun,
ty official, instead of granting his wife's request
for bottle of cream to give to friend in the city
where she intended spending several days, had
the bottle in which the cream was to be put, filled
with water and just sufficient milk to color it. He
allowed her to 60 to the city thus deceived, but
sent letter for immediate delivery to the lady
whose guest his wife was to be, stating the fact
and requesting her to send to tho depot for q
gallon of excellent cream which he would ship
the next morning. PHILoPoLIs.

Foxes Galore-A Country for the Elk.
ridgers.-A correspondent of the Belair 1Egis
says: ga lively fox hunt took place last Saturday
near Fallston, by hunters and hounds from this
neighborhood. Five foxes were started on the
farm of Mr.. L. B. Bond. The first one towards
Long Green, but another was started Immediate
ly and ran for nearly two hours. Finally rey.
nard, after an exciting chase all over tie neigh
borhood, ran into the rocks on the Baltimore
county side of the Little Falls. Mr.. John Burrier's
fine dog 'Rumsey," being unable to get his head
into the hole where the fox was, thrust one OF
his feet in to pull the fox out. The sly animal
caught the dog by the foot, and of course the dog
pulled back. The fox held on, and the moment
his head appeared outside of the hole the dog
seized him by the neck and dragging him out
killed him. The others found secure hiding places
among the rocks. The pack of hounds were about
fifteen in number. The dogs were running three
foxes at the same time"

Hurra for Triepel !
hail Professor!

Granite, I'd DISTRICT happened to notice
sometime back in The UNION, report of an ac-
cdent which occurred at Granite, on 18th Dec.
last, and as that report gives very vague and
imperfect idea of the occurrence, will endeavor,
in justice to all concerned, to furnish you with
the facts and result of the affair. son of Mr..
Joseph Nash, 6 years of age, was playing with a
companion, a little older than himself, named
Walker, in a vacant room of his fathers house,
apart from the rest of the family, and in which
there were several guns. The boys proposed to
"play Indian" and the larger one picking up one
of the guns, pointed it at his friend and snapped
it. Then putting it down he picked up another,
not thinking either one was loaded, and pointing
it at johnson Nash, pulled the trigger as before,
and to his great amazement the gun was dis
charged its contents crashing through the tender
arm of his little friend. Hearing the report the
mother ran into the room to find her boy lying on
the floor, bleeding from CHASTITY wound. Mes
sengers were Immediately sent for Drs. T. q
Ofutt and Williams, who, upon examination, de-
cided that immediate amputation was the only
hope for the patient. Amputation at the shout
der joint was performed by DR.. Offutt, whose
steady hand and rapid manipuations gave un-
mistakable evidence of skill and familiarity with
this branch of his profession. This, think, i
numbered among the greater or capital opera
tions in surgery, and under the unfavorable cir
cumstances, is regarded by every one re-
markable recovery.
After recovering from the unpleasant effects Of
the chloroform, which was used in the operation
the patient had no unfavorable symptom, buI
commenced recovering at once, and so rapid ha|
been his progress that at this writing Gust foul
weeks from the date of the accident) the wound
is almost healed, and the boy is walking abou
the room. Among those most pleased at the un
expected recovery there is none more so than tn,
little author of the accident who visits his little
friend daily. ALPHA.

From Glyndon to Reisterstown by Horse
Cars.-For some time the citizens of Resters-
town and Glyndom have been considering the
feasibility of starting a passenger railway line
between those two places. There is much travel
over the route and it is thought horse-car line
will be the most convenient mode of travel, and
also paying investment. A meeting was lately
held, at which it decided that the line should
be built, and that the Hannah More Academy
should be one terminus and Glyndom Station, w.
M. R. R., the other. A stock company is now
being formed The estimated cost of the road
1.-TWO and a-half miles) is $4,000. Already $751;
600 worth of stock has been taken, and it is
thought no trouble will be experienced in getting
the balance. The road will follow the county
road from Glyndon to the turnpike, and the turn
pike two miles to the Hannah More Academy.
1t is now almost settled that the road will be
ried through in the spring.

A Boy Charged with Arson.-On Tuesday
last a colored boy named Charles Green was oom-
mitted to the county Jail the charge of attempt
ing to burn the house of Mr.. John G. Erdman, near
Georgetown, on the Belair road, On Sunday last
Mr.. Erdman's daughter found that the steps lead
ing to the cellar were on fire. and the prompt dis
covery by her no doubt saved the house from dis
truction. A short time before the fire the boy
had been sent to the cellar to get some potatoes.
1t was discovered that bottle of coal oil had been
poured over the steps and set afre. Mr.. Erdman
thereupon handed the boy Green over to County
Officer Baker, who took him to the Waverly Sta
ton house. The boy said that he fired some
straw flowers in the cellar to find the potatoes
Within the past few months two barns on Mr..
Erdman's place have been burned, causing loss
of several thousands of dollars and it is believed
by him that the boy Green is the incendiary.

A Physician Knocked Out.-Dr. William
II. Mace, popular and wel-known physician Of
the 18th district, by long experience in driving
has learned to determine with accurate precision,
the time required to cross the tracks of the P. W.
B. X. r., to avoid an approaching train. The
extreme cold of Tuesday, however, must have
disarranged the doctors calculations, for he was
just two seconds too late. The engine of the New
York and Washington express, at Walters Cross
ing struck the doctors carriage as he was cross
ing the track and before he could finish "Now l
lay me-" etc., he was deposited in neighboring
snow bank. Fortunately he was not injured.
The horse also escaped injury, but the carriage
was wrecked,

Americans have long ago earned the title of being
a race of dyspeptics, and numberless formulas
have been prepared to correct the various diseas-

found in DIR. Henley's Celery, Beef and Iron. II

not entirely disabled by disease practical cure
is sure to follow. 1t is the greatest nervine known

dwelling of Mr.. John johnson, near Granite, I'd
district, destroyed by fire at an early hour on
Sunday morning last. The family slept on the
first floor and were awakened by the falling of
the burning roof. Mr.. johnson escaped half clad,
while Mrs. Johnson, hastily snatchng up her two
children, barely succeeded in leaving the house,
without having time to dress herself. With a
child on each arm, one of them only three months
DID, barefooted and unprotected against the bitter
cold, she walked through the snow and ice to her
nearest neighbor, whose house was over mile
away. Mr.. johnson was unable to save his house,
which, together with its entire contents, was des-
troyed, and is a total loss, there being no insur-
ance.

A Tramp's Wretched Condition-On
Monday night two city policemen found coIored
tramp creeping along the Washington road, near
the city limits. They took him to the Southern
police station, where it was found that he was
frozen almost to death and that the cold had
driven him nearly crazy. Before the officers
could prevent him he gnawed the flesh from his
fingers down to the first joint. He was finally
bound hand and foot and fed until his hunger was
appeased. The man had been discharged from
the House of Correction that day and the money
given him to pay his fare to Baltimore had been
spent for liquor.

Sales Of Personal Property.-As the sea-
son for public sales of personal property is near
at hand, we desire to give some advice with refer
ence to the advertising of this class of property,
which may prove of great benefit to those inter.
ested. The custom of giving notice of public
sales of this character by handbills alone, is in
itself good plan, but it is not as thorough as
through the medium of the newspaper. Thirty
bills posted up in the neighborhood are read by
fifty or one hundred persons, while the matter or
advertisement inserted in the newspaper goes in
to 1900 or 1000 families, and is made the theme
of comment by many hundreds more. There may
be stock or implements advertised in this way
for which bidders would travel ten or fifteen
miles to secure, thus adding to the receipts of tn
sale twenty or twenty per cent, and many
times over the trifing cost of the advertisement
AS there is no better medium through which to
advertise than the columns of THE UNION, we
hope persons contemplating sale the coming spring
will keep this fact before them and at the same
time remember that THE UNION goes to every
postoffice in the county and is eagerly read by
hundreds of the most progressive people in the
county.
