a pair of highly bred bird dogs says he thinks
they ate at least half peck of locusts last

in these things else dogs and cats would not
hunt them so assduously.

AN observant citizen of the upper end
of Baltimore county says the population of
the 9th district is no larger today than it was
twenty years ago. He declares that that sec
ton of the county has contributed largely to
the population of Woodbury. and Hampden,
where many families have removed to find en-
ployment in the mills.
IA small box containing two well pre-
served locusts thirty -four years old was added
to THE UNIONS list of curios this week

Cross, well known farmer of the 9th district
and presented to us on Wednesday The 10.

those Of the present day.
1.-The heavy wind storm of last Sunday
afternoon blew down one of the silos on the
Filston Farm at Glencoe, N. @. r. R., and
damaged it considerably. Sios are coming
into very general use by farmers who are pro-
ducing milk for market. The best authori-
ties say that ensilage is an excellent and eco
nomical feed for dairy cattle.
"a young man of weak mind, who had
been confined in Jail here upon the charge of
trespass, was ON Monday identified by his
father, Levi Grove, of Hopewel township,
York county, as his son. When arrested

post for 1881 in the Shrewsbury Savings In
stitution. The father took the son home with
him.
Health Commissioner Bosley, of Balti-
more city, insists that the free use of coal oil
will effectually dispose of the mosquito pest
The Walbrook people were so much pleased
with results last year that they will use the
oil more freely this season. The Peabody
Heights improvement Association is also get
ting ready to fight the pest with the same
weapon.
> During the heavy wind storm of last
Sunday afternoon portion of the roof of the
large bank barn on the farm of Mr.. Charles H.
Curtis, near Clynmalira Church, 10th district,
was blown off and carried several hundred
feet. Part of stack of straw in the barn
yard was lifted up and dropped beside the
lower portion. Mr.. Curtis thinks it was q
whirlwind that struck the barn.
"a movement is already on foot to have
the postoffice at Bosley, on the Dulany's Val
ley turnpike, four miles from Towson re-es-
tablished, and no doubt it will be done prompt
ly. The shops there will also be reopened. 1t
is likely that Mr.. John N. Madary, who will
open store there, will be made postmaster.
Both the store and the postoffice will prove
great conveniences to the neighborhood.

ter's teamsters, Lewis Eyer and J: ]. Simms,
who are thought to be among the best in the

Politics in the Second Congressional
District.-In its political news of last Sum
day the Baltimore San had the following: I'm
the Second Congressional district there are
prospects of a candidate who will contest with
Mr.. ]. f. c. Talbot for the nomination. Mr.
Talbot, it has been generally conceded, would
have little or no opposition. There is said to
be a growing sentiment among the younger
element in Hartford county toward pushing
Mr.. John l.. g. Lee, of that county, to the
front. Mr.. Lee is member of the Hartford
county bar and also has Offices in Baltimore.
He was Delegate to the Legislature of 1896
from his county and also served as Assistant
District Attorney during the administration of
President Cleveland. His family are close
friends of the Democratic leaders in Hartford
county and it is claimed that his well-wishers
in Baltimore county and the two city wards
the Fifteenth and Sixteenth-woulu greatly
help him if he should secure the nomination.
I'm view of the fact that Mr.. Talbot is
anxious to make the race again the question
as to whether or not Mr.. Lee could win out in
the convention is an interesting one. The dis
trict is now composed of Baltimore county,
Hartford county. Carroll county and the Eff
tenth and Sixteenth wards of Baltimore city.
The total number of voters in the convention
will be 81, of which Baltimore county will
have Z, Hartford county and Carroll county
each and the two city wards each. Unless
there is split among the Democrats and an
exceptionally weak man is nominated the dis
trict on form, say some political wiseacres,
should go Democratic. Congressman Blake
ney, the present incumbent. will, in all proba-
bility, be the Republican nominee"

land Park Company, which had been on trial
before Judge Burke and a jury, was concluded

terest, for well.digging machine sold by Mr..
Kennedy to the company on an approval of
thirty days. 1t was claimed that the company
used the machine over six months without
giving notice AT the last term of court the
jury before which the case was tried disagreed.
AT both trials Messrs Boarman & Lindsay and
Messrs. R. B. Tippett & Bro. represented the
plaintiff, and Messrs. Osborne 1. Yellott and
Albert F. Richie the defendants.
