ORPHANS COURT PROCEEDINGS.

The attention of the Orphans Court
was given at their regular session on
Tuesday to an issue between Messrs.
Joseph W. Chamberlaine and Harry )
Carver, co-administrators of the estate
of Mrs. Carrie S. Hillman, relative to the
ownership of $500. The evidence de-
duced showed that Mr.. and Mrs. Hill
man, who were originally from Buffalo,
New York, where Mrs. Hillman held
property, drifted two or three years ago
to Havre de Grace, and that on or about
the first of last May Mrs. Hillman died
very suddenly, leaving besides her hus-
band one son and one daughter. Trouble
seemed to be brewing from the start,
hence the appointment of co-admln1stra-
tors to represent the respective interests
of father and children. In the course OF
administration fund of 81 500 was dis
covered in bank in Washington in the
name of Mrs Hillman; this, however,
Mr. Hillman claimed belongs to him and
had been inadvertently deposited in her
name, hence his petition that the Court
award this sum to him before dividing
the balance of the estate. After full evil
dence and argument, the Court decided
that the money belongs to the estate and
should be treated as a part Of it. The
decision may be carried to the Court OF
Appeals

THE SUN IN 1850.

Mr. Joseph B. Hanway, of this county,
has in his possession a copy of the Balti-
more sun published on April l, 1850,
which is not only unique in its demon
stration of how this great journal has
grown from small beginnings, but gives
us an insight into the history of those
days which comes with peculiar vividness
and reality from daily publication.
A very considerable portion of the
news sheet is taken up with an account
of the trial and conviction of DR.. John
w. Webster, of Boston, for the murder
of his associate, Dr. F. Parkman. In his
scathing review before the jury, Attorney
General Clifford wound such complete
web around the accused that his acquit-
tai seemed to be human impossibility.
The paper described in a touching way
the death the day before of Honorable
John c. Calhoun in Washington, conclud-
! ing with the sentence, diff

his peculiar views, all must admit that

as having been entirely conscious to the

tions just before his death relative to his
work on Government.

Mountain News.

MOUNTAIN, December O. The snow
storm of last Tuesday found the farmers
wholly unprepared, as very few of them
have their corn husked or their winter
wood prepared But the warm weather
of the latter part of the week has remov-
ed a great deal of the snow and work
can proceed if the weather keeps clear.
The heavy timber teams which are
hauling from the woods on Olney Farm
are running the roads from that point to
Joppa and Magnolia stations. l think
there should be law compelling the
owners of such mills to repair the roads
over which they travel and put them in
as good condition as they found them
when they began hauling, as nearly all
of the travelling saw mills in the county
belong to non-residents, who pay little
or often no tax, as they do not stay, as
a rule, long enough in one place to be
placed on the assessment books of the
| county, and in one year they do more
damage to the county roads than one
hundred farmers teams would in two
or three years. Luckily the packers have
about all of their output hauled to the
railroad and the farmers do not have
much hauling to do, so the timber teams
can have the mud to contend with to
their hearts content. But the great
trouble is that there are always a few
unreasonable people who travel such
roads and when they find them axle-tree
deep with mud they run to the County
Commissioners and lay all the blame on
the unlucky road supervisor instead Of
on those who are directly responsible for
such conditions.

THE CORN AND WHEAT SHOW.

The corn and wheat show held in the
Fifth Regiment Armory in Baltimore last
week was formally closed, but the eX-
hibit left intact during the State Grange
meeting which was held there yesterday
and today. The success of the show
fully met the expectation of its promoters,
who are so impressed with its usefulness
that they passed resolutions looking to
memorializing the State Legislature for
an appropriation for the Maryland Agrl-
cultural Experiment Station to work
along the line of experimentation IN seed
growth, and elected Mr.. w. Irving
Walker, of Chestertown, president tor
the ensuing year, Director Patterson, OF
the Experiment Station, being ex-offlcio
a member OF the Board of Directors.
Besides exhibits from eighteen OF the
counties, covering 200 samples of corn
and large line of samples of wheat, the
Experiment Station exhibited 26 varie-
ties of wheat and the same of corn now
being tested at the Experiment farm.

the station. showing the proper type OF
seed ears to select and the Importance OF

Round Top variety. Among the success
full contestants were Mr.. James Lake, OF
Forest Hill, and Mr.. William Plowman,
of VanBibber, with wheat, and Mr.. A.

Cats, large and small, make the
most careful toilet of any class of
animal, excepting some of the opos-

themselves in exactly the same
manner as the cat, wetting the dark

and inner toe and passing it over
the face and behind the ears. The
foot is thus at the same time face

tongue combs the rest of the body.
