"A few days ago Clarence Fox, son of Mrs. M
i. Fox, who resides below Reisterstown, neal
! Hannah More Academy was cutting down q
tree which fell upon him, breaking his left LEG
above the knee. The fracture was set by Dr.
! James Gore
| A very pleasant party was given at the resi-,
dence of Mr.. Theodore Naylor, near Relsters-
| town. on Thursday evening, 10th inst. String
music was obtained from the city and dancing
continued till early in the morning.
Rev. +. Richardson, of the M. E. Church,
| Reisterstown was reported quite i'll last week
Mr.. Nimrod Yingling, a well-known citizen OF
! this district residing below Reisterstown, whose
illness has before been mentioned, was much
worse last week, and was in an unconscious
condition. There is much apprehension among
his friends as to his recovery.
am glad to report that Mr.. David 5. Long
necker, of Worthington Valley, is much I'M
proved and is able to be out again.
1t is reported that several cases and some
deaths from typhoid fever have occurred in a
row of small houses located between Glyndon
and Reisterstown. The disease is caused, it is
believed, by the drinking of the impure water
of the wells attached to the houses, which, it is
said, is mostly surface water, and the doctor at
tending the sick has interdicted its use. Mr..
Henry Schriver who occupies one of the houses
of the row, is one of the last persons attacked
and is now i'll with the fever.
Rev. r. f. L. Wright and Miss Lou Badly
were married at the NJ. E. Church South, Refs
terstown, one evening last week, Rev. George
Taylor, of Arlington, performing the ceremony.
A large congregation was present to witness the
wedding.
Our Democratic friends of Glyndon, known
as the "Tochwogh Club" like the Democrats
generally throughout the country, seem great
ly exercised about what struck them last No
vember and are prying into every nook and
corner to discover the cause of their sorrow.
In order to be certain and make no mistake as
to what it was, they have taken up the subject
in a systematic manner and sifted it after the
style of lyceum. The first topic in this con-
nection discussed was at its meeting on the 9TH
inst, viz, whether 1.-The tariff reform issue de-
feated Cleveland" and later, PROBABLY, to dis
cover whether, in the opinion of the club, Civil
Service Reform did it. How much consolation
is found in these discussions must be deter
mined by the members of the club.
A Tribe of Red Men has been organized at
Glyndon through the efforts of Mr.. Joshua T..
Whittle, prominent member of the order.
The following officers have been selected ::
Sachem, Upton Bergman; Senior Sycamore,
John NJ. Seymour; Junior Sycamore, John T..
Marshal, Jr. F; Chief of Records, j. Smith Or
rick Keeper of Wampum, VIM. t. Haughey.
If the charter for the Tribe can be secured it
will be formerly organized this week and mem
bers of the order from other places are expected
to be present.
A select social party was given at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Miller, near Sandy Mount Carroll
county, on Monday evening, 18th inst Among
the invited guests from this vicinity were Miss
Betty Benson, Mr.. Frank Benson, Miss Ella
Benson, (of Arcadia), Mr.. ]. Marion Duncan,
Mr.. Harry Musselman and Mr.. Benjamin
Shaumloeffel of Baltimore. L.
Fork, 18th District.-Mr. Luther Henderson
of Pleasantville, Hartford county, met with a
sad loss in the death of his wife, which occurred
on Friday, 18th. She had been sick for several
weeks. Six small children are left without a
mothers tender care The interment was at
Friendship NJ. E. Church. Monday last.
The eclipse on Wednesday 18th, was not WISH
BILE here owing to rainy weather. had intend
ed sitting up to get glimpse of it, although it
occurred between II and O'Clock.
The Gypsies are still wandering through this
part ofthe county, trying to induce the residents
to allow them, for certain sum, to tell their
future life. Very few have any faith in their
representations. -
Rev. o. c.. Marriott has meeting in progress
at Waugh Chapel The moonlight nights and
pleasant days of last week were favorable for
a successful meeting but the storm on Sabbath
no doubt prevented any service on that evening
The cold wave which came on Saturday even
ing it was hoped, would continue so that ice
could be saved. At this time there is poor
prospect for the storage of that necessity.
Mrs. Abbie Harlan, widow of the late Joseph
Harlan, of Hartford county, is now very i'll at
her residence, Fallston. She has been sick for
a long time. Her friends anticipated her re-
covery, but change for the worse has taken
place and her death is momentarily expected.
| learn that Mr.. Irwin, of Deer Creek, Hartford
county, who has for some time rented the store
and tavern at Baldwin Station, NJ. c. Railroad
will secure the position as postmaster at Gwinn
since DIR. A. s. Baldwin has resigned. 1t seems
to ME the office at that place should be called
Baldwin, when really Baldwin 2. o. is a mile
farther down the road, causing some confusion,
people taking it for granted, directing their COM
munications to that place.
Miss Annie Doehler, of this neighborhood
and Mr.. Eek, of Hartford, were quietly married
on Monday of last week at the NJ. +. parsonage
Belair. They proceeded at once to the groom S
residence
Notwithstanding several communications
have appeared in THE UNION relative to finan-
cial report being desired from the directors of
Shirley Hail. no notice whatever has been taken
Oft. Over two years since fair was held to
raise money to place shutters ON the building
and not a cent of the money has been expended
for the purpose. The hall is sadly neglected
the directors have not had a meeting for two
years, and do not take interest enough to place
lock on the door, which is often found stand
ing open. Twice the hall has been advertised
for taxes, which ofcourse increases the expense.
The treasurer of the company has moved from
the neighborhood and the stockholders have
had no report as to how the money received
has been applied. The hall is great convent
ence, in such thickly settled neighborhood,
for holding concerts, lectures, church fairs, &C.,
and should be kept in order INCoG.
White Ground, I'd District.-The enter
tainment given at the White Ground Literary
Hall on the Sth inst, by Mr.. John Finch, Prof.
Hawks and Mr.. Howard Jefferson, is conceded
by all to have been the best ever witnessed in
this neighbOrhood. and it was success finan-
cially. 1t was a good advertisement for the
literary association, showing that its members
are determined to keep abreast of the times
1t is doing good work in the community.
Before it was organized many who are now the
best debaters in the association either could not
or would not get up before and audience to dis
cuss question, no matter how familiar they
were with it. On the 18th instant the associa-
ton held a very interesting meeting, when the
question debated was, Resolved, that emigra-
ton should be restricted The affirmative
speakers were VIM. H. Marriott and G.. r.
Foreman negative John w. Upton and A.
