'-Old Uncle" John Holland. colored,
died in Broad Creek Neck on last Sunday
morning. He was said to be about 10S
years old. "Uncle John was a worthy old
man, of extreme sobriety, and subject
to wonderful stretches of imagination.

terceded for him and prevented the guards
from "heavin" him out. The old man was
very fond of telling about this trip, and
while the story was graphically told, his
description of Heaven was most ludicrous.
John Remley, of Downs Chapel, lost two
COWS that he had raised fran. calves. recently
under peculiar circumstances and after
only two or three days illness in each case.
He does not know whether it was some
thing they had eaten, or new and fatal
disease. Nearly week before the first COW
was taken sick he took corn to mill and ex-
changed it for other meal. The meal look
ed all right and there was no reason for
suspecting there was any disease lurking in
the corn before grinding. His COWS were
healthy and doing we'll and no contagious
disease was known in the neiyhborhood.
One cow died ON Thursday and the other on
Sunday, manifesting the same symptoms
in each case, that is, stopped eating and
drinking all at once, holding the head
down and pushing it against objects ap-
parently in great pain in the head, with
short quick throbbing of the Sides The
toagnstw was purple on the under side with
small red spots covering the upper part.

where He would like to know what |
caused the disease as it is something new to |
him.-s
