CLERMoNT MILLS, Jan. 27.-Last Sunday
morning Mr.. Thomas Butler and Miss Salie
Butler, of the Rocks, had an experience which
they will doubtless remember long as they
live. They were on their way to church and
driving at good pace. When opposite Mr.
Richard beavers farm their vehicle, top
buggy, fell into deep rut in the road, breaking
the axle in the centre and causing the top to
drop forward on the horse. The animal became
frightened and ran a considerable distance,
leaving the road and taking 10 Mr. beavers
field MIR. Buffers son, Beauregard, was in
another buggy just ahead, and observing the ac-
cdent sprang out and succeeded in stopping
the runaway and releasing the occupants of the
buggy from their perilous position. They es-
caped unframed save few slight scratches.
1t IL said that any one who desires "smile"
can be accommodated with plenty of real
whisky, which is pedded out ION the sly"

Fox Chase in Abingdon District.

Reported for The Egs.
VAN BIBBER, Md, Jan. 27.-On Monday last
a lively fox chase took place on Mrs. Thomas
W. Hall's farm, on the portion we'll known to
fox hunters and others as Poplar Bottom.'-
After lively hunt of several hours, the ely old
fellow led the way over the farm of Mr.. W. g.
Hall, and on through the woodland of Mr.. Z.
H. Hall. thence over the open fields Of the
Lodge Farm, toward Emmorton. The big
pack of dogs had been doing their best and
were closing up on the fox, when he wisely
sought cover in the earth, on Mr.. Daniel Gala
hans place. The den was a shallow one and
only a short time was required 10 dig him out.
Among the hunters who followed the dogs
were G. K. Sewell, John Magness, d. f. Sulli
van, John F. Price, Joseph Harlan, FURRY Sui
livan and James and Will Ely.
The prisoner is fine large fellow and will be
turned loose on Saturday, Jan. 3Oth, at 10
o'clock, in Abingdon. A special invitation is
sent to the hunters of the I'd and Sd districts,

D0ings at Annapolis.

The Legislature met again on Tuesday
night.
The bill comforting additional powers on
the Baltimore Trust and Guarantee Company,
was favorably reported in the Senate by the
Judiciary Committee, but following out
on Corporations.
Mr.. Laird has obtained leave to Introduce
bill for recognizing the bureau oflabor sta
tistics. 1t will provide for the appointment
of "Chief of the Industrial Bureau" at
salary of $4,000 year. The bill is drawn in
accordance with the suggestions of Governor
Brown: In addition to the duties at present
devolving upon the head of this bureau, he
will be required to collect information con-
corning agricultural land values and products
In the counties and publish the same with
view Of attracting immigr ants. In other
words, the scope of the bill is to set forth in
COED shape all the varied resources and in
dustries of Maryland, its agriculture, manu-
features, railroads and commerce, with the
view of supplying want long felt, and bring
Ing the State into notice as desirable place
for immigrants and other settlers. The in
terests of agriculture one of the most impor-
tant industries of our State, have been in a
great measure overlooked and it is hoped
that such law will direct attention not only
to our general business resources and advan-
tages but also to the low prices and fertility
of our soil, the healthfulness of our climate
and other attractions to persons with means
or in search of farms or country homes.
Mr.. Sans will introduce bill TO do away
with transfer fees on the different lines of the
same street railway companies in Baltimore
city.
State Tax Commissioner Shaw in his forth
coming report will call attention to the fact
that the taxable basis made by the assessment
of 1876 fell over fourteen millions of dollars
the following year, mainly by the disappear
ance of personal property. He therefore
suggests that system ofreturns be required
from each taxpayer annually which shall dis
close property acquired during the year. In
this way it is believed that the basis will be
maintained or increased instead of diminish
ing.
There is much talk about calling Consti-
tutional Convention and the matter may take
shape before the Legislature adjourns. The
present Constitution provides that the sense
of the people may be taken every twenty
years on the expediency of calling constitu-
tional convention. 1t is doubtful whether a
better Constitution could be framed than the
one we are now living under and we can now
see no good reason for mourning the enormous
expense and political turmoil attending the
change 1t is suggested that assurances can
be given to the county and city officials elect
ed last fall for long terms that their tenure
Will not be interfered with by the adoption
of the new constitution. This, it is thought,
will remove one chief opposition to the call.

The Forum.

With the number for February The Forum Of
New York completes its twelfth volume under
conditions which make what may be fairly called
a landmark in American literature. The DOM
inant idea in the establishment of The Forum
was to create vehicle for the discussion of the
great problems that press for solution in the
United States. The reception that it met
proved at once the correctness Of the analysis
made by its projectors. 1t has recently en-
lsrged its size, is continually broadening Its
scope and is undertaking lines of original work
that have been hitherto untouched by periodi-
cal enterprise. 1t has, for instance, recently
sent out DR.. j. M. Rice, well-eeuipped stu
dent of all the European educational systems,
to make special investigation of the practical
working of our public school systems in the
principal cities of the United States, and the
articles from him will be an important feature
of the next volume. Other enterprises of
similar sort are in process of arrangement.
