Contribute Something to the Fair.--ln
the appeal which Col. Matthews, the president
of the Agricultural Society makes to our PEG
pie in the advertisement elsewhere giving the
usual notice of our fair, he addresses himself to
all classes of producers of the community
There are many industries besides agriculture
whose products should be shown at Timonium
There are numerous small manufactures scat
tered about which should display their goods
Many of these would surprise by their quality
as by their variety and extent, our citizens who
are not posted as to the number OF the minor
industries which have found a foothold among
us. Our farmers, our truckers and gardeners
whose name is legion, our mechanics and
miners, the ladies of every household, could by
combining as they are invited to do, make a
display which would be grand in proportions
and in its varied and beautiful individual ex-
hibits forming picture of abundance and
prosperity, of skill and art and tasteful dispo-
sition and arrangement, which would be a
monument of the energy and public spirit of
the people of Baltimore county.

Poultry at Timonium. County Fair
managers ought to do something to stir up a
greater interest in poultry at the fair. There
IS nothing more attractive to all visitors, GER
tainly not to ladies and children than the
many kinds of well-bred and well-marked poul-
try which shows generally bring out, but at
ours the display is not what would naturally
be expected from section of country with as
many fanciers and farmers who keep improved
fowls as Baltimore county. Gentlemen, use
your influence for bigger show in your poul-
try house!

The Work of an neutrality-suspicious.
Escape Of Family Charles and
Wilbur Grover and their sister, Miss Matte
Grover, live on the farm of Mrs. John w. Bur-
ton, formerly owned by the late Mr.. Wolf, near
the Copper Factory ON the Hartford road
They are respectable people and so far as is
known they have no enemies. About O. clock
on Monday morning last Miss Grover was sud
denly awakened by smell of smoke in her
room and getting up hastily she found that the
house was on fire. She called her brothers and
they had barely time to get out of the house
before the whole structure was mass of flames.
Only few articles of furniture and clothing
could be saved. There was no fire about the
house and it is the general opinion that it was
been discovered when it was the whole family
house will be about 8, 0O0 Insured for 81 800.
The Growers will lose about $500 on furniture,
wearing apparel, &C.. and they had no insur-
ance.
Several weeks ago an attempt was made to
poison this family by putting charcoal and
strychnine in the milk. Fortunately Miss
Grover made the discovery in time to prevent
any serious consequences. 1t is believed that
the person who tempered with the milk is the
same one who fired the house, but who the
fiend is and what his object could be are mys-
teries that have not yet been solved. An effort
should be made to bring this scoundrel to JUS
tice and the County Commissioners should
offer a reward for his arrest. If such crimes as
these are permitted to go unpublished there IS
no telling where it may end. Lynching would
be too good for such villain.

Two Good Things to Remember.-The

following recipes are worth remembering:
To Dri0e Aacay Rats.-Soak one or more news
papers, knead them into a pulp, dip the pulp
in a suitable solution of oxalic acid. While
wet, force the pulp into any crevice or hole
made by mice or rats. Result-a disguised re-
treat, with sore shouts and feet, on the part of
the would-be intruders.
Hon. TO Preserve Posts-A man who has tried
it says that wooden posts treated as follows, at
a cost of two cents apiece will last so long that
the party adopting it will not live to see his
posts decay. Take boiled linseed oil, and stir
in pulverized charcoal to the consistency of
paint and put coat oyer the timber.

The Outlook for the Schools.--County
Commissioners Todd and Monmonier have I'M
able to paying off the debt of the School Board
and also to build the school houses which the
people are demanding and to keep the schools
open until the next levy is made. The city
gets eleven school houses in the lately annexed
section and for these the School Board will re-
ceive SOS, $50. This amount will materially aid
in wiping out the debt Of the Board and will
also assist in building the new houses.

AYoung woman OF Pluck.

Miss Paul Rochester, an enterpris-
ing young woman OF New York, is
spending a few days in Chicago as a
sort of rest after having performed a
very unusual feat. She has just jour
neyed to Chicago from New Orleans
after making trip on muleback across
the Republic OF Honduras. 1t was a
rough ride Of nearly 400 miles over the
mountains. Miss Rochester says she
made this trip accompanied by only
an Indian guide and armed only with
loaded riding whip. She started
from Amapala on September 9th, and
made an average OF forty miles day
generally managing TO pass the night
in native villages along her road. In
spite OF the wildness Of the country
she met with no accident, and safely
made her journey OF ten days in the
saddle. The object OF the trip was to
visit property in which she has al
interest. From here she will return
to New York.
