t out. The little birds are brown in colo
and seem to like their present home yer
) much AS they grow older, natur
will develop their desire for the wild:
but just now they are as domestic as tn
ordinary chicken. 1t is pretty sight t
see them in their little pen of wire
especially when night comes; they hove
under their mother just as naturally a
if they were wee bantams.

OF his father, where he has almost re

distant cloud attracted to his position
by the telegraph wires, and he was
thrown twenty-five feet to the pavement
below. One leg was broken, one ankle
injured and his back seriously hurt. His
escape from death was really miraculous

where the company had sent him, he had
sufficiently recovered to return to his
home 1t is hoped that his health will
be entirely restored eventually.
Hon. J. F. c. Talbot, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress, and General
Murray Vandiver, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, met a
number Of prominent Democrats in Bel
Air on Monday and discussed the general
outline of the present campaign. Re-
ports from the different precincts of Har-
ford county were of the most flattering
nature, and the success of Democracy in
Hartford is we'll assured. 1t is intended
to run an open, earnest campaign, the
only object in view being majority, which
the Democrats are anxious to make as
large as possible. Both Mr.. Talbot and
Mr.. Vandiver were warmly greeted by
their many friends, and left town well
satisfied with the days visit.

In acopy of the Southern 1Egis, dated
October II, 1857, which was recently
handed US by Mr.. Joseph p. Wilson, who
found the same among hisfather's papers,
there is every evidence of All exciting po-
litical campaign. There was apparently
as much interest in those days as now,
and the fight was carried on even more
personally. number of public meetings
are advertised throughout the county to
be addressed by both parties. This SEEM
ed to be quite common custom in those
days and many Of our older citizens re-
member them we'll. The late James Her
ron was postmaster at Bel Air and A.
Lingan Jarrett, clerk of the court, as a
number of legal advertisements show.
There is not person mentioned in the
paper who is living today.
We have received from Mr.. Thomas
Robinson, Of Chestnut Hill, letter
written by the late Major William B.
Stephenson to friend in Hartford coun-
ty, while he was on a trip through what
was then the great west. 1t is post
marked Cincinnati and dated July 9,
1890. The trip was evidently being
made by stage line and he mentions the
different places visited during the time.
In speaking of the country he says, 1--WE
have seen some of the finest land | have
ever bcheld; corn growing on it 9 feet
high without any sign of tassle, but some
appearance of the shoop, which is about
7 feet from the ground We also saw
elegant wheat and grass. Grain is very
low at this time. corn Is cents, wheat
3114 and dull at that" Our farmers to-
dav would be compelled to abandon their
crops if such prices prevailed.
