Threat to Destroy the City.


These orders were accompanied by a
threat to destroy the city if they were not
complied with.
The mayor called together the aldermen
who were then in the city and it was decid-
ed to ransom the city by paying the sum
that was demanded. The money was paid
tn greenbacks, which were carried In bas-
kets. and when 1t had been paid the fol-
lowing receipt was given:
Received of the mayor. aldermen and
common council of Frederick. the sum Of
two hundred thousand dollars in full pay

levy was made. will show clearly that they
required that just such stores as the gov
ernment had had In the city. to wit, quar-

great many Of those goods were stored
away IN private waFe4ohses. whose owners
claimed that they were protected by the
payment OF the 100000 ransom. and pro-
tested against any search Of their private
premises or the burning OF public property
adjacent thereto, as that would iendanger
private property.
This claim was admitted. the confederates
respected their promise to protect private
property, and by this means q very large

was saved and restored to the United States
authorities after the battle OF Monocacy.

To Keep MIX.

Caring for milk in the home is dis
cussed in publication OF the New
Jersey Experiment Station. Among
the topics treated are What causes
milk to sour" How germs get into
the milk THE rapidly of the sour

milk" "Pasteurizing and sterilizing."
1t will be seen from the list of sub
Jects treated thar the scope of the bull
letin is broad and that IT deals with
practical questions. 1t seems that with
all the valuable literature which has
recently been furnished upon the sub
Ject of milk and its production and
care, some distinct advance should
have been made in dairying. and we
believe that the advance has come.

remarkable when the attempts to com
