How They do it in Belair.-The Belair
Times of last week says: ga resident of the 4th
district, being in Belair recently felt like having
dram and went into bar-room and called for
it. The barkeeper asked if he had an order
and he replied that he had not. Thereupon the
bar-keeper placed printed form before him on
the counter and asked him to fill out and sign it.
He filed out the order for 800 barrels of wbiskey
and thirty dozen bottles of beer The bar-keeper
then handed him glass of whiskey, which he
drank, paid for, and went his way, and that was
the end of the transaction"

We realize more and more the value of newspa-

to let them know what is going on, which we &C

one side of the paper, make it plain and cut 1t
short. That will do for preaching but don't hold

Hartford Road ItemS-As Mr.. Seamon and
Mrs. Newbower were returning from Mr.. Ford's
wedding few nights ago, the horse took fright
and upset the buggy, throwing both occupants
out but fortunately they escaped without injury.
The ladies of Hiss's M E, Church were very
successful with their oyster supper, realizing about
500. They presented handsome lambrequin to
Mrs. A. W. Neal, president of the society, and
toilet set to their pastor, Rev. Harry Mitchell.
The ladies return thanks for the very liberal pa
tronage extended to them.
Mr.. MeColgan has sold his property, situated
on the road leading to Raspburg, to Mr.. VIM. T.
King, the Baltimore builder, for $4,000. The
farm contains so acres and has fine improvements
uppn~it.
{. On Friday, 9th, the public school house at
Hiss's caught fire while the school was in session,
caused from the over-heated pipe where it entered
the chimney. Through the extraordinary efforts
of Mr.. J. Frank McBee, the teacher, assisted by
the larger scholars, the building was saved the
damage being only slight The chimney in its
present condition is not safe, it is liable to fall
at any time. 1t should be attended to before an
accident occurs.
Several houses will be built at Parkville the
coming spring and many other improvements are
in contemp lation. The future for Parkville APP
pears very bright and it promises to be town OF
considerable Importance before the end OF another
decade.

Fullerton 18th Dstrict.-The young ladies
of this vicinity gave leap year party on Tuesday
evening, at the residence of Mr. John K. Tarbert,
which was in all respects most enjoyable affair.
There were about twenty couples present, each
lady inviting a gentleman and escorting him to
the house. The ladies furnished all the refresh
ments, which were spread upon the table at IL p.
m. in the most dainty and inviting manner. Now
look out boys There may be some more invita-
tons before the year ends.
During the last five days the seighing has been
fine and every body who could get ''cutter" and
girl was out. They did not mind the cold.
The work of cutting ice has now been completed
and all have secured full supply, even the large
brewery houses being filled. This will keep
great deal of money in the neighborhood, as the
home supply will be ample without sending North,
as has been the for some years.
Mrs. Howard Amos has entirely recovered from
her late illness and is again able to be out. Mr..
Benjamin Wilson is recovering slowly, but will be
confined some time yet.
The question discussed at the last meeting of
our literary society was, (Which has the more in
auence over the mind of man, women or money!"
The judges decided, three to two, in favor of wo.
men. The question for February I'd was, (Which
general was greatest in battle, Washington or
Grant~ The debate was we'll contested and was
decided in favor of Washington, four to one. At
the next meeting there will be general debate

resolution directing the Committee on
Public Lands to investigate the charge
Of illegal conveyance of swamp and over

report says that it IS probably true that n
great deal OF land not Of the character
described 10y the swamp-lands act has
been patented to Florida and other
States. but that at this hate day it is i'm
practicable to ascertain what lands were
illegally conveyed. In view of the fact
that much Of this land has been pur-

of United States title, the committee
believe that Ito action should.be taken by
Congress to set aside and cancel the
patents to the lands. a
