Pry Bros, Keedysville, extensive peach

DR.. - of Warrington, formerly of this
county, sends us marked copy Of the Fred.
erick Ne.es containing very full and natter-
ing account OF q surgical operation performed
by him. We read it with much pleasure;
we are gratined to learn OF his success. He
is as expert in seeking free advertising ~ In
saving legs off-only We are just mean
enough not to loan him the spacs-it's for
sale.
Mr.. Samuel Lewis, whose farm Is about
four miles west of Thurmont, on the noun.
tain, told US on Tuesday that the recent
cold weather did not harm his peach buds;
that on 1000 trees, unless something happens
to them in the future, a full crop is assured.
He has neither San Jose scale or yellows in
his orchard. The peach belt should and
likely will within = very few years englrdle
this side of the mountain.
Some concern Is felt about the Electric
Railway bill: 1t has not yet received the
Cover nor's approved and as some are known
to be opposed to it, 1t is feared that 1t may
have died a-bornin'. We do not believe that
Gov. Lowndes could thus be used, nor do
we believe that 90 disreputable an act as
theft or payment to secure its disappearance
is to be anticipated AT the hands of any In.
terest opposing it. 1t will likely turn up all
right and in due season.
A Union Bridge man, working at the bi
cycle works, boarding IN Hagerstown, not
believing in banks, kept his money under
the carpet in his bedroom. When his room
was cleaned up the money was swept into 4
rubbish heap but was discovered before 1t
was thrown out. The man still insisted on
keeping his money under the carpet and the
next night q roommate extracted 1t but re-
turned it after the owner supposed it lost.
