A Sad Death in Middiehurg.

Samuel d. Ham, well known resident Of
Middleburg, committed suicide on Tuesday
morning by hanging himself with n rope to a
rafter in the garret of his dwelling. Mr.. Ham
had been in failing health and very despon-
dent for nearly year, having had severe
attack of la grippe last winter, since when his
mind seemed to be very much affected and
his one thought was self. destruction. He
once tried to take his life by cutting his throat
with a knife, but was discovered, and though
closely watched ever since, succeeded at last.
He went up stairs on Tuesday morning after
telling his daughter, who was busily engaged
in some household duties, to keep everything
quiet so he could sleep, and when she went
up to see after him he was not in his room,
and to her horror she found him hanging dead
in the garret.
The funeral took place Thursday morning
at ten O clock, at Grace Reformed Church,
Taneytown. The intorment was made in the
adjoining cemetery, Rev. II. Ditaler of Ia,
neytown and Rev. d. A. Souder, of Union

Messrs. B. Frank Breyer, John Humbert,

Baltimore VS.. Carroll County on Pumpkins.
From the MARYLAND Journal Towson.


A BIG PUMPKIN vINE.-Mr. John Halpin, of Tow
son, raised in his garden pumpkin vine, the main
branch of which Is yards in length, two lateral
branches II and Ii yards respectively, and the
smaller branches measured li3 yards There were
10 pumpkins on the vine, the aggregate of which
was AIS ponudS. Mr.. Halpin presented one of the
pumpkins TO the editor of the Journal that he
might have pumpkin pie which is good. provided
it is made according to gunter, l. G., Yankee re-
cipe.
Now Bro Van, of the Westminster Adp0cdte, as
you seem to have deserted your big porker accounts
have you longer vine than that noted above? We
want to get even with you somehow. We know
Carroll is famous for good many things but can
you beat that vine and pumkins ?-mind you, we
don't want big COW pumkins: we want square,
honest. pumkin pie pumpkins.
Why, Brother Ruby, we take no account of
pumpkins in this county weighing less than
l20 pounds. AS to vines, We never let them
grow very long in Carroll. They are cut off,
so as to have pumpkins instead of vine: In
one of the upper districts a farmer forgot
to cut vine one evening before quitting work,
and it grew so much that he had curiosity to
see how far it had extended. He followed it
about ten miles and returned home without
seeing the end He heard from it two weeks
after and it had reached the Chesapeake x
Ohio Canal bank and was growing toward
Cumberland.

procured bucket of water. When he re-

burning fercely, and there seemed little hope
of suppressing the flames, but he applied the
water skillfully and succeeded in preventing
