OF the guest The ladies were dressed in
ballroom attire, which added greatly to
the beauty Of the hall. There were no
wall-fowers that night. We have often
read Of fine balls, but the reality, think,
was the best. Among the gentlemen pres

Fox hunters are frequently out, but we
think that rodents of the genus Lupus are
principally chased. The sound ofthe hun
ter's horn will be seldom or never heard in
the near future, for Reynard, like his car.
nivorous kinsman the wolf, will be EXTERN
mated in lower St. Mary's.
.Minks of dark Chestnut color
are very annoying to poultry raisers. Sew

number of chickens, etc.
Tafy parties and those at which the Vir-
ginia reel is indulged in to considerable
extent are of frequent occurrence.
Candlemas day was warm and bright
one. Ifthere be any truth in traditional
expression the ensuing weather for weeks
will not be very encouraging to outdoor
workers; for the quadruped somewhat re.
lated 10 our domesticated animal could no,
have failed to see its shadow.
Home made fertilizer is being hauled and
scattereo over rye nelds- We presume q
few loads of this compost win give better
satisfaction than tons of the commercial
mixture that is being used throughout the
county. If oak leaves, mould, etc., which
are allowed to waste were utilized in the
barnyards during the Winter months what
quantity of valuable and rich fertilizer
our farmers and truckers would have at
their command when the plowman CON-
menced to turn up the exhausted soil. A
material difference, too, would be seen in
the quality and yield Of the productions.
