Aside from the destruction of num-
Der of ornamental and shade trees the
storm of last Wednesday night did no
damage in this locality, but several
of our residents, namely: d. r. Saylor,
Edward Morrison and Albert Valen-
tine, who own farms along the MonOc-
acy, north of Double Pipe Creek, had
buildings wrecked and damage done
to other property, and also on the
farms of J. w. Payne and Simon Lohr,
located on the Frederick and Emmits-
burg pike, three miles northeast of
town, considerable damage was done
to buildings, etc. For Charles A. Ey-
Ter, in Eyler's Valley, large wagon
shed was demolished, breaking up
wagons, etc. Report says that thou
sands of dollars worth of timber was
leveled to the ground in the valley be-
tween Deerfield and WOlfsville.
Whilst standing at d. r. Rouzer's
mill on Thursday last, two-horse
team belonging to VIM. Smith, who
resides on a farm one mile west OF
town, took fright and dashed at break
neck speed along the railroad 100 yards,
turning then at right angles they dis
tanced everything in their frightful
run down Lombard street to its juno
ton with East Main street, up which
they proceeded with undimin-
ished speed to the bridge over
Rouzer's branch, where they collided
with the rear end of wagon going
in the same direction, though in not
quite so much of a hurry, and here
were captured and brought to bay. The
wagon was completely demolished en-
route, but not q scratch was found on
either of the horses nor upon the man
in charge of the team. Roddy Bros.
lime kiins and quaries, located near
Apples Church, are being taxed to
their utmost to supply the rapidly
growing demand for the excellent quail
iIy of lime they produce. Mr.. r.. f..
Aughenbaugh has disposed of his jew
eler's outfit to party in MiddletOwn,
and will within a fortnight take bis
departure from Thurmont. Mr.. Ed
ward Seton, a wide-awake young man
of this town, departed for Baltimore on
Monday, where here he will take les
sons in dentistry.
The base ball game played here on
last Friday between the Bryan and
Mckinley clubs of this place, termi.
mated in a victory for the Bryans, OF
course. Quite spirited and holly con-
tested game of lawn tennis was also
played on the same day by number
of young ladies and gentlemen, on Mr..
], w. LOy's tennis court, on the East
end of town, In this game one or the
| other parties won, but not knowing
| how the opposing forces are deslg'
mated, cannot say which were victor,
ious. The Gibbs property on Boundery
avenue, ThurInont, was sold on Fri.
day last to O'Tool Bros. for the sum Of
5000. About IS of our population took
advantage of the dollar fare excursion
to Baltimore on Saturday last. -.
In an elevated field on Franklin
Mills farm stands four chestnut trees
the combined circumference OF which
cannot be less than IS feet and they
stood the storm on last Wednesday
night without apparent injury. These
trees are first growth and are, no doubt
hundreds of years old. They still Deal
chestnuts, but of inferior growth ane
quality. BY the way. the chestnu,
crop this season is pretty nearly iali
ure in this section of the country.
