Just how many waysa proper name may

Severe haistormt prevailed several miles
north of us last week: the cornicds where

Miss Rosa Layman, daughter of Mr. Geo &.
| Layman, of ,Jintown, was badly burned in
the hands on Wednesday, 18th inst. Some
clothing which hung on the wall took fire

them from the house, they were consumed
to ashes in her hands. The house barely
escaped destruction by the fire.
People in the country who are annoyed
by flies should remember that clusters of the
fragrant clover, which grows abundantly by
nearly every roadside, If hung in the room
and left to dry and shed its faint fragrant
perfume through the air, will drive away
more flies than sticky saucers of molasses
and other fly-traps and ily.papers can ever
collect. -Neoc York Tribune.

A TANEYTowN Boom The creation and
sale of large number of building lots, opens
up new future for TaneytoWn, and it is not
improbable that within the next few years
the town will indulge in building boom,
such as has heretofore been unknown; but, at
the same time, it will be u boom with a reac-
ton. The opening of the streets and lots is
like tearing away the breast of q dam, thus
releasing the elements that have been accum-
ulating; ready for entrance, for years.-Car-
roll Record
Rocky RIDGE.-The gentlemen represent
ing the capitalists interested in the F. T. &
Rocky Ridge as the proper point at which
to aim from Frederick The assumption
that the Emmitsburg railroad could be bot
and made part of the line, may not be safe
one, as it is at present paying good round
sum on the investment and the owners would
likely want rs much for that seven miles of
road as it will cost to build that many miles
anew, or more.
An amusing sight was witnessed by num-
Der of people on the public square in this
place, Wednesday evening. A wcllknown
business man was noticed sitting in the door
of his place of business. with rod and line In
hand fishing in a puddle Of water on the
pavement. He sat there as unconcerned and
watched the line as attentively rs though he
were on the banks of the Monocacy river
trying to land three pound bass. Although
he did not catch any fish, he did accomplish
the object in view, for his landlord finally
came around the corner and caught on TO the
fishing joke. viii the pavement be repaired?

THE F. T. Il n On Friday afternoon last
Col. L. V. Baughman, president of the f. T.
& N railway, accompanied by a representa-
tive of New York City capitalists, drove to
Thurmont, where they were joined by the
Editor of TIE CLARION and together went
over the Frederick road to diminishing, re-
turning by the f. & E. turnpike. The oh.
iect Of the trip was to acquaint the New
York people with the exceptionally feasible
route and as we'll the grounds of promise of
traffic. OF the former, the topography of
the country speaks in no uncertain terms; Of
the latter, We believe the impression was
equally satisfying.
Something definite will be heard within n
very short time, when, if favorable, a plain
business proposition will be laid before the
people of Frederick, Emmitsburg, ThurmOnt
and intermediate localities.
