treated to something of a surprise last Week
when our road supervisor filled several chuck
holes with three or four perches OF stone. BOT

district and they are growing worse from veal
to year until they have about reached Inc
limit.
On Saturday last MIR. B. John Black, of this

notice in the last Issue of THE UNION that
the Baltimore and Frederick Electric Railway
is about to become a fixed fact, but it does not
look so to me. There cannot much be expected
when the property-owners ask such exorbitant
