Edwin Booth, the greatest actor ofthe
name and OF the country and l might
add without exagaerating, of the age,
whose portrait adorns our Court Room,
was often in Bel Air in former times, com.
ing up for days visit when profession
ally engaged in Baltimore. Sometimes
he would be accompanied by Tohn
Sleeper Clark, his brother-in-law. The
last occasion upon which met this dis
tinguished member of the BoothHamily,
was in the year 1867 when Junius Brutus,
Jr, and Edwin Booth were in Bel Air over
night, having come up in the afternoon
to visit the old farm. Upon that,occasion,
General Herman Stump and myself both
occupying i'll common an office with the
late Henry w. Archer, Esq, were the
recipients of visit from the two cele
brated actors, who spent the evening in
genial conversation in our office, in the
enjoyment of their cigars, sitting, chat
ting and smoking until late hour. Ed
win Booths manner, always to some e1-
tent rather reserved, appeared rather
more so on that occasion than formally
it had been. Whilst the conversation was
free and quite unreserved, it was motto
able that no reference was made in the
slightest degree to the brother, John
Wilkes Booth-of course none was VEN
tured upon either by Mr.. Stump or my
self NJ.

From Perryman.

PERUVIAN, March I've have had all
sorts and conditions of weather since the
ground hog saw his shadow and hustled
back to his winter quarters for six weeks
more of slumber. We are thankful that
only two weeks remain of the stipulated
time and after St. Patrick has had his
innings we may get little pleasant
weather. There are some heraldS offspring
to be seen and heard. The recent thunder
storm seems to have awakened the frogs
and waSpS, the birds are twittering in
the trees and immense tiocks of black
birds darken the air nearly every day.
The mud has been something to be re-
membered, but the heavy rains removed
the frost and packed the earth so that
the condition of the roads is much im-
proved at this time.
The Susquehanna River went on its
annual rampage last week and many
persons visited Havre de Grace to see the
sight. The water had reached a great
height and tremendous ice foes were
were rushing madly out to the bay. A
number of small boats were noticed dart
ing i'll and out among them, the occu-
pants of which were busily engaged in
capturing logs that were hoated down
by the torrent. 1t seemed to those look
ing on, n most dangerous thing to do,
but no one was hurt.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Lynch, who were
married last Wednesday evening at the
Peruvian Methodist Church have taken
possession of their home on the farm of
Mr.. NJ. H. Ould.
Mr.. Frank Skillman and Miss Ella
Simpson, who were quietly married in
Baltimore several weeks ago, have re-
turned and will occupy the house recently
vacated by Mr.. Gwinn Jewens.
Mr.. Gwinn Jewens and family have
moved to Chase, Baltimore county.
Several parties of young folks have
visited Baltimore during the week to see
Ben Hur" at the Academy of Music All

duction.

building was ola most substantial char
acter and the loss is a serious blow to DR..
Brand at his time of life.
This is not the first misfortune that has
overtakcn this venerable clergyman. A
number of years ago he met with an
accident breaking several ribs. About
fifteen years ago, he broke one of his legs
and in the spring of 1898 while visiting
at the residence of a friend in Baltimore
he fell down the shute of an elevator
This nearly ended his life but his excellent
constitution was able to withstand the
shock, although it was months before he
could get around again. But with little
intermission however he has attended to
his church duties and regularly preached
his Sunday morning sermons.
The many friends of DR.. Brand will
synpathizc with him in his serious loss,
but it is with pleasure that we can as
sure them that he bears the misfortune
in a philosophic manner. In speaking
of the loss of a number of valuable
private papers that had been burned, he
joltingly replied that the congregation of
St. Mary's Church had been the gamer,
from the fact that large number of his
old sermons had been destroyed and he
would not be able to preach them gain.

"A theatre party from Bel Air will at
tend the performance of "Ben Hur," at
the Academy of Music, Baltimore, to-
morrow, Saturday night. a special
train will run from Baltimore that night,
leaving that city about twelve o'clock.
The Irving-LowellL Literary Society,
of the Bel Air Academy and Graded
School. held its regular meeting on Fri
day. The programme included seventh
grade quotations from Lowell; humorous
recitation by Lucy Smith. The question
for debate was Resolved that wireless
telegraphy will have greater effect on
| the progress of the world than the air
ships" Those in the affirmative were
Bryarly Munnikhuysen and Lawrence
Allender; negative Katie Bruins and Page
Mock. 1t was decided in favor of the
negative. Eight grade quotations from
Holmes, Rotations by Harry Mock; read
ing by Grace Hanway; ninth grade
quotations from Pope. The Gazette
was read by Pennell Grafton.
The latter part of the winter of 1902
is one that will be long remembered for
it's severity and radical changes in the
temperature. The thunder storms, which
occurred at intervals during Friday was
succeeded by veritable July thunder
shower at eleven clock that night, which
was followed by springlike weather on
Saturday. A clearing shower on Sum
day morning again gave us little taste
of good weather In quick succession
came the snow storm on Tuesday night
and the sleet storm on Wednesday. The
weather is now clear once more but it is
hard to say what is the next in store for
us. The roads are we'll nigh impossible
and our streets are deserted but for those
who are compelled to be here on pressing
business.
With the promise of an early spring,
the electric road question promptly hobs
up again. For the past two years, the
press of the county has been holding out
roseate views on this interesting subject.
So far, the schemes of the promoters
have failed to materialize anything of a
tangible nature, and we have decided |
that hereafter we will not attempt to
record their plans unless there is some
visible backing to put them in operation.
We hope that it will not be understood
that we are trying to discourage
these improvements. On the contrary
we have done all we could to bring about
an improved state of affairs in the way
of increased railway facilities, but the
people are tired of promises and they
would like to see some fulhllmcnts before
accepting any more rainbow. chasing

HANDSOME RESIDENCE BURNED.

On Monday evening about eight o'clock
the residence of Rev. DIR. William +.
Brand, near Emmorton, together with
contents, smoke-housc, wood-house, and

loss will reach about $4,000, which is

The servants were at supper at the
time. A bright light was seen in the
direction of the ice house and uponinves-

spread with alarming rapidity. The

Some loved one to endless rest,
And the heart, tho filled with anguish,
Can but cry, He knoweth best"
Every year some hand has finished
All its work for others here,
And we miss voice whose accents
Fell like music on our ear
And the eyes that smiled so sweetly,
Answering back each look of love
Now are gazing on the glorics
OF the bcautcous realms above.
But year, not distant cometh,
When we tread the vast unknown
We shall find our ransomed dear ones,
Seated round the great white throne.
