Perry Hall. 18th District.-There was an
echo of the Winder case in this community
few days ago in the settlement OF wager over
the capture of the negro. One man bet another
a keg of beer that the man would not be caught
in Maryland. OF course he lost and paid the
bet at Soth's saloon, where the friends of the
two met to dispose of the liquid.
Mr.. David DeGruchy, of this place, had his
little farm plowed and planted by Mr.. Bakers
men and team. One of the men hitched two
horses to roller to do the smoothing. but to
the surprise of the others, instead of going
across the plowed ground he drove around by
the road, fearing, no doubt, that he might mash
a few clods. The other men had the laugh on
him.
The rain of the 5th inst. was something very
much needed by the farmers. Flowing had
been stopped because the earth had become too
hard, and grass was at q standstill. Now.
however, everything is looking hourishing.
The cold weather since the rain has been very
bad for lima beans that were in the ground,
and tomato plants in the fields have the
shakes.
During the thunder storm of last Saturday
MIR. Simon Seidl, aged 50 years, was badly
