ShawsVille News,

EVANSVILLE, Dec. 1q.-Surely Hartford is to
be congratulated There is no other county
in the State which has had the pluck and en-
ergy to undertake a cross country railroad,
without a metropolis to give it business. Bel
Air has certainly taken step forward A
question very naturally arises with those of
us who reside at distance from the county
seat, why such a means of communication
could not be established between Bel Air and
some prominent point in Marshall's district !?
The right of way could without doubt be Sc
cured, and route could easily be selected
which would be devoid of rough and billy
ground. The development of the country
which would naturally follow railroad COM
munication would be of vast importance as
well as assistance to the terminus of such q
road, and business would rapidly increase.
There is but little to record except sickness.
Mr.. George W. Lyle is still very ILL., Mr..
Jacob Mordcw's family and Mr.. William
Leight are afflicted with the grip.
Mr.. Jacob Waltemyer, an aged resident of
the Deer Greek vicinity, was paralyzed the
second time on Thursday. He is nearly eighty
years OF age.
Rev. Mr.. Lossa, Bohemian Presbyterian
clergyman from Baltimore, addressed the
Bethel congregation, on Thursday evening.
Mr.. Ashury S. Wiley has been confined to
the house FOR several days past, with an e1-
ceeding!y sore hand.
On Sunday morning, as Mr.. Robert Waters
vas leading his colt to the branch near his
residence, The animal playfully reared and as
Mr.. Walters gave Iii n additional rein, he
turned and kicked, striking his master in the
side and painfully ipiurng him.
Mr. Benjamin Mellor and his daughter, Miss
Addie, OF Eliicott CITY, were guests of Mrs.
Thomas II. Mclor. on Sunday
Mr. Edward f. Smith, the genial and eX-
uemcly popular clerk for MeSsrs. Thomas H.
Mcllor & Co. merchants at this place. died on
Tuesday morning. after illness of eight
days, of pneumonia, in the 34th year of his
age. He was 4 native of Baltimore county,
being II ION of the late Oliver Smith. of Della,
but had been Il resident of Hartford over ten
years. Pleasant, courteous and obliging. he
formed host Of friends. by whom he will be
sadly missed. His funeral will take place to-
day, Friday, the lntermcnt being made at
Ellicolt City, Howard county. Hon. Jacob
II. Plowman, Of Emmorton, and Rev. Charles
Isaacs, of the NJ. f. Conference, were brothers
in-iaw OF the deceased.

Neck and pay as much taxes as anyone else,
yet we can not boast of good roads here.

Receiver Bosley's Good Work.


Baltimore American.
Receiver VIM. II. Bosley, OF the Maryland
division of the Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad
Company, is steadily getting the road under
his care in u much better condition than when
he assumed charge. During that time he has
made it pay the fixed charges, has expended
over $4,000 In repair and improvements, and
still held fair surplus in hand. He has
changed the time schedule, and the trains
make the runs from ten to fifteen minutes
sooner than heretofore. new Brooks
freight engine has been purchased, and will
be ready for use on the road in q few days
All the bridges and trestles have been repaired
and strengthened, and are now in good condi-
ton. The $4,000 OF receivers certificates,
the issuance of which was authorized by
court, has all been sold 10 the Mercantile
Trust and Deposit Company, at par and in
terest, and will be utilized in the payment of
back debts. During the winter the passen-
ger coaches will be repaired and reprinted,
and in the spring Receiver Bosley hopes to
have the road in good trim to handle an i'll
creased passenger and freight traffic.

BAGLEY AFFAIRS.
A Buzzard Domesticates Itself in a Barn
Yard.

Yard.
BAGLRY, Dec. 20.-About two weeks ago
Mr.. George baylor observed a buZzard soar
ing high in the air over his house 1t began
to descend and after describing many circles
around his farm, alighted upon his barn
yard fence. Presently the buzzard hoped
to the ground, in the barn yard, among the
domestic fowls, and proceeded to make HIM
self at home. Mr.. Daylor's curiosity was
aroused at the proceeding and he concluded
he would interview the stranger. The buz-
zard made no objection, being evidently anx
ious to make all the new acquintances he
could. Mr.. baylor says he noticed little
and after some difficulty removed it
Opening it he found a tiny book, dat
ed MDCCLV., and in the book was 4 treatise
and history of the influenza or grippe. From
it he learned that the name influenza is adopt
ed from the Italian and grippe is from the
French, and that the first epidemic of this dis
ease of which there is any distinct medical re-
cord occurred in 1870 although there can be lit
tie doubt it has occasionally visited mankind
from the earliest ages. The work describes
the disease and its characteristics and gives
what Mr.. baylor prizes most highly,) a cure,
an infallible remedy or specific for this
troublesome malady. The buzzard is now
thoroughly domesticated and may be seen at
any time associating with the barn-yard fowls
AS it is carnivorous and will not touch ordl-
nary food Mr.. Daylor's kind-hearted wife
feeds it on ''cracklins" and other meat.
Mr. Samuel Pennington, of Fallston, is
learning pharmacy in the store of Dale q
Hart, of York, Pa. His sister, Miss Lilly, an
accomplished and graceful rider on the
wheel, may often be seen spinning along on
the roads.
Grip is prevalent here and our physician
DR.. Charles Bagley, is kept very busy:
