Items From The Belair Papers.-The
following items are copied from the Belair
papers of last week:
Several months ago Mr.. Henry w. Archer
gave young setter dog to his friend, Mr..
Wilton Greenway, who took the animal to his
home near Towson. The opportunities for
training the dog properly being few Mr.. Green
way sent the dog back to Belair with the in
struction that if Mr.. Archer could find any one
who would take the proper care of the animal
be was to give him away. In short time the
dog was placed in a closed car and shipped
to Woodbine Pa. His new owner was delighted
with the present and kept the dog securely tied
for two weeks and then released him in order
to let him have exercise. The dog disappeared
and short time afterward made his appear
once in Belair. Mr.. G. L. Vail, being in town,
paid some attention to the animal and it fol-
lowed him to his home at Forest Hill. Itcame
with him to Belair, on Monday, and Mr..
Archer recognized him and took him to
Shamrock" where he now is. The question
is, how did the dog find his way this far on
his return to Towson. He had never been
over or even seen the road from Woodbine.
An inspection trip was made of the Mary.
land and Pennsylvania Railroad by number
of its officials one day last week. The entire
distance of the road from York to Baltimore
was travelled in the record breaking time of
two hours and twenty-one minutes. The Md.
and Pa. X. X. has shown more recent improve
ment than any like enterprise in the State.
It is said that the new time table, which will
go into effect the second Sunday in November
will give the travelling public even better facil-
tiles than the excellent one under which its
trains are now being run.
Mr.. BeaIe R. Howard, of Verdant Valley
Farm, near Taylor, has sold his fat cattle.
They averaged 1900 lbs. and were as fine lot
as ever went out of Hartford. The 46 head
went to Myers & Houseman at fancy price.
