WAY Of giving 4 iirc alarm 1t sh"ulo
never b, struck except at stated hours OF
iirc,nen. BY the way. we haNc not heard
much from the fire company here lately
No doubt the organization is i'll good
shape but rICrc requcnt meetings would
increase the interest of the members.
A slcighing carnival will be held in
Bel Air tomorrow, saturday, afternoon.
Great interest is being manifested III the
affair which promises TO be an entertain
ing event. Liberal prizes have been
offered to stimulate competition, ard the
entries in each class will doubtless be
large. This is the first carnival that has
been held in Bel Mir for a number OF wears
and should bring out large crowds from
all sections Of the county. The Judging
will commence at one o'clock sharp.
Hartford county has been cnveloped
i'll bed of SNOW, which commenced fall
ing on Friday night and continued with
out let up until Saturday evening
The splendid foundation which HAD
already been laid made s!eighing excellent
and everybody, who owned a cutter or
could beg. borrow or hire one, has since
cnjuvcd the sport. The heavy fail seemed
to ccntrali2e i'll Maryland. There was
1 ONLY a light fall in New York The local
thermometer registered above zero on
! Sunday.
/ The approaches to the new bridge on
! the PENNSYLVANIA railroad ut Havrc dc
Grace axe commencing to assume pro-
/ portions A small army of men are en-
gagged in he work which is going on day
ard night. Three Of the piers on which
! the bridge will rest have been completed
and work on the Others is being pushed
| rapidly. While the cold weather will in
! tcricrc with the work, yet the contrac-
! tors will rush it SO as to have the
new steel structure, which will DC Il model
| of it's kind and built i'll the most upto-
date manner.
The postal authorities are monkey
ing so much with the mails Just now
that there is no end to the complaints
heard. 1t would seem, If accounts be
true, that the rural free delivery system
at least SO far as many people are con-
Cerncd-:s simply ielusion and a snare,
and the facilities afforded by it are not
to he compared with the old-tinc plan.
The establishment of two or three more
Of these routes in Baltimore county on
the first of December has wiped off the
map several more of the old postoflices,
and soon few of them will be le.t.-Balti-
more County Union.

1t has now been ten years since the
first electric plant was established for
the purpose Of supplying Bel Air, and in
that time the lighting OF the town has
been constantly i'll the hands of the same
management. Expecting a reasonabl
degree of proficiency with decade of ex.
perience, large lumber of business
! places and private residences have in
stalled lighting service for exclusive iilu-
minating purposes. From the beginning,
the service has never been satisfactory,
but on the contrary has caused the pa
irons much annoyance. While it IS only
| fair to extend consistent sympathy in
case of unforeseen accidents, vet it is not
reasonable to expect the people of Bel
| Air to go without light so much Of the
time and make no murmur. They COIL
plain, and Justly, that the advancement
| of the art has introduced appliances
| which, if used, would make the electric
| light almost as certain as gas or kero-
sene and feel that this company ought
either to keep pace with the times or else
expect competitor who will give a bet
ter service That the latter IS true we
are reliably informed, and an option is
now being made upon power that will
be abundant for commercial purposes for
I many years to come
