Under date of February u, the Annapolis
correspondent ofthe Baltimore Herald writes:
Today was the nth birthday of the courtly
chairman of the House ways and means com
mittee, Col. James g. Berret, of Carroll
county. Colonel Berret is one Of the best
known public men in the country, having
been Postmaster of Washington during Pres
ident Pierces administration and mayor of
that city when Buchanan was President lie
has enjoyed the hospitality ofthe White House
since James X. Polk occupied it.
Colonel Berret's appearance is striking.
He is tall and well built His manners are n
model. Young men are at once attracted to
him, and his old friends are his best When
Carroll county was formed half century ago
Colonel Berret was elected one Of the first
members of the House of Delegates there
from. Subsequently he moved to Washing
ton, but he still kept in public life. He knew
Arthur P. German when as a little chap he
used to come for the Senators mail.
President Lincoln conceived 4 great fond
ness for Colonel Berret and reposed every
confidence in him. Their birthdays both fell
on February u, but Mr.. Lincoln was his Sc
Nor by six years President Grant was also
a great friend of the Colonel, and woe betide
the man who says a word against Grant in his
hearing.
The Colonel, Notwithstanding his age, is
still as natty in his dress as though he were
SO years younger. His coat is always cut in
the latest style and his crimson scarf is in
pleasing contrast with his silYery moustache
and hair.

party entered the parlor, preceded by Messrs.
Howard and Harry Roger, brothers of the

good luck, while Elder d. d. Bonsack, of
Westminster, performed the marriage cere-
mony in an impressive manner. The bride
was becomingly attired in dress OF light
steele henrietta cloth. The groom wore the
conventional black. After the ceremony the

EASTER MONDAY PARADE.
Committees Appointed to Arrange Details
for Monster Demonstration.


The general committee to arrange for a
public demonstration in this city on Easter
Monday, April 18th, held meeting at Fred.
d. Miller's Store, in the Albaugh Building,
on Tuesday night Mayor F. X. Herr, the
chairman, presided, and NJ. Sehneeburger
acted as secretary, in the place Of Mr.. James
A. Difienbaugh, who was out OF the city.
Besides the committee there were present q
few other business men, who are Interested
in the matter.
The committee took hold OF the work be-
fore them with will and enthusiasm that
betokens success. 1t is determined to have a
parade that it will be worth travelling many
miles to see Invitations will be extended to
the Fourth Battalion and Howard Zouaves,
Baltimore, the Frederick Ritlemen, Llnga-
more Guards, 17owson Guards, the Cations
vile Company, and other military organiza
tons; to the fire companies of Western Mary
land and those of York, Hanover, Littlestown,
Gettysburg, Chambersburg, Shippensburg,
Waynesboro, in Pennsylvania; to the bicycle
clubs of Baltimore, Hagerstown and other
places: to all the brass bands in Carroll and
TO others out of the county.
This is as far as the committee went IN de-
filming the scope of the parade, but they pro
pose to make it Just as large rs the people OF
Westminster are willing to pay for. The
people, we believe, will be very liberal IN
their subscriptions, and the committee, after
an informal talk on the subject, will contribute
more than 5000. 1t will require about $500
to get up creditable parade, and the larger
the fund raised the larger and more attractive
will be the procession.
If the matter were taken up IN time 4
horseback division might be organized, about
500 strong, among the young men OF the
county. A brass band contest, for prizes,
would be an entertaining feature of the day,
for the afternoon, and a more interesting one
would be the consolidation of all the bands
into one, making band of about $50 pieces.
The following subcommittee were APP
pointed: =
4th Battalion Hon. +. 7. Shaw, Chas. ii.
Vanderford, Fl. NJ. Clabaugh, Fred. D. Mil

Reported for the Democratic Advocate
On Thursday evening of last week the good
people of the vicinity of Rayville, Baltimore
county, concluded to make their pastor, Rev.
j. p. Koontz, and family happy. In order
to accomplish this in a perfect manner about
fifty of the neighbors gathered together at the
hospitable home of Mr.. F. b. Kidd, and when
all arrangements were completed the happy
company began their march toward the par
sonage, headed by prominent young mer-
chant and our school a'am, lin order to
complete the ruse that had been laid TO keep
the pastor at home) loaded down with many
of the good things of the season, such as
flour, meat, sugar, rice, coffee, apples, butter,
eggs, dry goods, etc., not failing to remember
even ''Baby Paul" and Pet the parsons
horse.
After all were relieved of their burdens,
the pastor in brief way thanked them for
their kindness to himself and family, after
which Praise God from Whom all Blessings
Flow" was sung, and deyout prayer was
offered to God. After this the company en-
joyed themselves in free will chat, some
good singing, etc., and at about nine o'clock
they began to leave for their homes, feeling,

Mr.. Jos. I. Stem, who had tin box con
tanning valuable private papers and some
money stolen from his store two or three
weeks ago, recovered them through Frank
NALL, son of Mr.. Wallace NALL, who re-
sides near Denning's P. o., on Thursday o.
last week. While trying to hunt down Q
stray cat in the barrack, Mr.. Nails son found
the papers laying on the hay, tied up in g
bundle together, viii the empty pocketbook.
All the papers stolen we're returned exoept
two small notes of his two sons against him
self which he had for safe keeping. Mr..
Stem believes that the person who took the
tin box and contents did not do it because OF
any i'll will toward him, but that the person
vas hard up for cash. His loss in cash was
between $2j and Ss5. At one time he almost
despaired of getting bis papers, but as he
took the best means of obtaining them, wig
BY advertising twice in the ApVocATE, he was
soon relieved of his trouble.
Misses Cora and Belle Caplss, of Jockeys
vile, Baltimore county, are guests OF Miss
Annie Cover, of this place. Miss Maggie A.
Stem is now in Baltimore, pursuing course
in vocal music.
