The Coe Family Trouble.-Last week The
UNION published an item giving an account of
difficulty between Mr.. William Coe, who a
tenant on the Kellogg farm, near Luthervile, and
his son Joseph, in which it was stated that the
son had brutally assaulted his father by striking
him over the head with board, &c. We obtain.
ed our informatian from what regarded as re-
liable sources and entirely disinterested
we could not Justly be accused of having any in
terest in the matter one way of the other. AS we
gave one side of the story last week, we now give
Mr.. Joseph Goes version of the affair, he having
called to see US on Monday. He states that his
father has nothing to do with the Kellogg farm
that his mother rents it and that he and his
brother manage it for her. His father, he says,
has been drinking considerably of late and that
when in liquor he made it very disagreeable for
people about the place by using profane language
and the assumption of authority which he had no
right to display. Upon the day of the difficulty
Joseph was doing some work at the barn, assisted
by a colored man. While thus engaged his faith
or made his appearance and gave some orders, to
which they paid no attention. This angered the
old gentleman and he used very harsh language.
Joseph went to eject him from the barn when his
father drew a knife and attempted to cut him.
He says he used no more force than was necessary
to put him out and that he did not strike him with
his fist or anything. else. While the scufie was
going on the crippled brother handed single
tree to his father and with this he struck at
Joseph, the blow falling upon his hand, which he
put up to protect his head, and dislocated his
thumb. Mr.. Coe than came to Towsontown and
went before the Grand Jury. Summonses were
issued for Joseph and the cOlored man and they
came here the next day. After hearing the testi
mony of the colored man the jury dismissed the
matter without calling Mr.. Joseph Coe, who was
waiting in the Court room. Since this difficulty
Mr. Coe has lett home and is stopping with a
friend on the YORK turnpike. The crippled son
who, it appears, sided with his father in these diff
fcuties, also left home and is now at the county
almshouse.

Black Peas.-A well known Baltimore COM
mission merchant, who owns a fine farm in this
county, contributes the following for publication.
We have no doubt the good results he has met
with from growing the black pea will come to
other farmers if his advice is followed closely. 1t
is certainly worth trial. if only a small SCALE
He says:
"This is the time for farmers to make use of the
best help known to enrich the land for a crop of
wheat next fall If you have any ground not in
use crop of black peas sown now will, when
turned under just before ripening, far exceed in
benefit any ordinary application of phosphate
which have ever tried. They are preferable to
clover, because the ground must be put in good
order to produce this crop, whereas any ground
will bring crop of peas and they can be turned
under and a crop of grain and clover follow there
by getting double advantage. I now have a
field of wheat, half of which was put in on peas
plowed under, which 1 think will produce at least
Eve bushels per than the halanoo, with
same quantity of phosphate on each, and now
stands about ten inches higher to the line where
the peas were used. An economical way to use
them is to sow in corn just before the last work
ing and cover with cultivator. When corn is cut
off pillow under thereby saving the labor of pre-
pairing the ground but they will not be of as much
benefit this way as when grown alone. Ifyou are
skepticle try a strip. 1t only takes about one and
a half bushels per You will not need any
persuasion to repeat it. c."

Provisions of the New License Law
The act passed by the last Legislature, increasing
the license of hawkers and peddlers, went into
effect on Tuesday last LIST instant. The license of
peddlers with one horse wagon was by the act in

wagon from ST. to 5000, and foot pedders from
$40 to 500. The law does not apply to hawkers
and peddlers of meats in their unpreserved state
or fresh fruits and vegetables grown in the State,
and does not prohibit man from selling the pro-
ducts of his own manufacture.

Court of Appeals Decisions.-In the Court
of Appeals, on Thursday of last week, the follow
ing opinions were handed down:
By Judge Richie Baltimore and Hanover
Railroad Company vs.. Algire. The appellee gave
parole license for the railroad to cross his lands
and then revoked it, and the case came up before
the court on the law side to the right of appel
lee to retake the lands by revocation of the Ii
cense. The court decided against the railroad
company on the ground that it required deed
duly executed and recorded to convey such an
easement. The company then brought suit in
equity, and the Court of Appeals says: at is
evident the company did not carry out its agree
ment with Algire. A court of equity will not un.
dertake to uphold license that is not established
by clear and satisfactory proof. We think the
decision in the former case secured to the appel
liant all the protection to which it is fairly enti
tied, namely, the right to proceed to condemn the
land of the appellee for the purpose, as
it might have originally done, and restrain the
appellee pending the proceedings, should it prove
necessary Decree affirmed"
By Judge Miller.-John II. levin VS.. John
Uzuber This is an action for malicious prosecu-
ton. In this declaration the plaintiff charges
that he was arrested under warrant, when the
Court of Appeals says that the paper, being in
blank, was not warrant. Judgment reversed,
and new trial refused,

Gunpowder Farmers Club.-We in
debted to the american Farmer for the following:
"The May meeting was held on the 18th, at Col.
Walter S. Franklin's. The day was not very
favorable one, but when the hour for assembling
arrived most of the members and some visitors
gathered at the ColonePs farm, on the the Western
Run pike, and went the fields and examined
the stock and buildings. The wheat, of which
there was about sixty acres in fine condition, that

corn field, of about the same area, was all planted
and nearly all up, the drill used having done its
work with almost mathematical exactness. Grass
and potatoes looked well, and the stock was all in
good condition, some calves and young Guernseys
and several litters of Berkshires being much ad-
mired. The new wagon and tool house and corn
crib, substantially built and admirably arranged,
with root cellar below, received great commenda-
ton.

handsome and productive one, though much of the

being to cut out the first named the elms attain

which will add to the appearance of this attrac-
tive and fertile farm.

the routine business of the club proceeded, after
which the usual half hour for questions followed,

suing The meeting was one for reading, several
of the members reading selected articles from the
agricultural papers. The next meeting of the club
will be that for the annual presentation of crop

Local Boards Of Health.-A law passed at
the late session of the Legislature makes the
County Commissioners of each county of this
State local Board of Health for their respective
counties by virtue of their office. The Boards are
empowered to take steps to abate all unhealthy
or diseases, and to prosecute any willful neglect
of their regulations. The penalty is fine of
from fifty to five hundred dollars for so offending.
They are compelled to meet in May and October,
and oftener if they so desire. They can appoint
an educated physician, who is known as Health
officer He acts as a Secretary to the Board and
gives medical attention to the inmates of the Jail
and other county institutions. They establish
the salary of the health officer. They act in con-
junction with the State Board of Health in main
tanning the health of the entire State. This is an
excellent law and we hope to see our County
Board working in conjunction with the State
Board in this matter.

Singular Accident-Mr. George W. Muth,
of Quaker Valley, accompanied by boy, started
to Towsontown Friday morning with pair Of
steers, and at Jessop's church the cattle became
excited and ran into the woods, and Mr.. Muth
started after them and coming in contact with a
wire clothes line, while the horse at full speed,
was thrown violently to the ground. The wire
struck Mr.. Muth about his stomach knocking him
insensible for time. He came on to Towsontown
afterwards, and complained considerably of sore
mess. Some persons who saw the accident say
that the horse was also thrown by the sudden con-
tact with the wire. Had the wire caught Mr..
Muth about the neck, no doubt we would have had
o more serious occurrence to report.
Heavy Damage Suit.-John W. Merryman,
formerly of the Sth district but who now lives on
Hon. George Hawkins Williamss farm, In Long

L. Jessop, farmer living near Ashland, Sth DIS

that some time last year difficulty occurred be
tween Jessop and Merryman, in which the lattel

sop was badly beaten. Jessop was tried in thu

On Tuesday last a committee composed of
Joshua Tracey, chairman /; John F. Gore, DR.. G..
A. Leas, J. D. Geist, P. Dyer, j. Smith Orrick,
T. Reese Arnold and DR.. J. NICK. Kemp called
upon the School Board to ask that school house
be built at Glyndon, 4th district As such a
building is badly needed in that community we
hope that the demands of the committee may be
satisfied, although the Board is in no condition
to build houses just now.
Mr.. Charles Whittemore, who has been q
special inspector in the Baltimore Custom House
for the past four years, has been notified that his
services will not be required after the 9TH inst.
Mr.. Whittemore, who was formerly citizen OF
Baltimore county, and who is well known by
hundreds of our older citizens, is now extensively
engaged in the truck business in Anne Arundel,
with his only son. His numerous friends wish
him unbounded success in whatever he may un-
dertake.
We have received additional complaints
about the wretched condition of the public roads
in some sections of the county. If people are
obliged to put up with bad roads at every other
season of the year there is no reason why they
should have to do so just now. If the official
heads of few incompetent supervisors were cut
off, it might prove warning to others who are
derelict in their duties. Taxpayers should not
be backward in lodging complaints with the
County Commissioners, and then, if the things
complained of are not remedied they will know
where the responsibility rests.
Fun That Didn't Pay.-At an early hour on
Sunday morning last party composed of six OF
seven young men from Baltimore went out the
Hartford turnpike about four miles and robbed the
gardens by the way of all the flowers they could
lay hands on. From the Hartford they went tC
the Belair road, where they smashed several coun
ty lamps Eve of the party, Charles Dingler
George SPAIN, Conrad Spain, Joseph Langleuetel
and William Heimller, were arrested in the city
on Monday and taken before Justice John s. Bid
olson, of the 18th district, who held them each t.
bail for Court in the sum of 5000.

IMPORTANCE OF GRAvEL.-Some.
times many of the difficulties IN
tho matter of keeping poultry may
be traced to causes that are appar.
emily very insignificant, yet they
may for long time causes much
annoyance and trouble until she
source of the evil Is discovered.
Failure to provide gravel is the
cause of Indigestion and bowel dis
ease in some yards. On close,
compact clay soils, gravel Is scarce.
and the hens, If confined, can find
no substitute for 1t. CoarsIv
ground oyster shells may be of as
sistance, but they are too soft to
fully answer the purpose; and,
though gravel Itself may be pIentl,
full in the shape OF small, smooth
stones: yet, TO be servIccahle, they
must be sharp, as their action Is
purely mechanical. SO important
is the matter of supply such mate

considerable expense, to procure
the proper material.
