over 80 years of age.
Superintendent Wright is seriously
hampered in his work at this time for
want of teachers. The schools require
about twenty per cent more teachers from
January 1st to April 1st, and at present
he is unable to fill several important
vacancies. In recent years, since so
many occupations have been opened to
females, it has become harder and harder
to secure enough competent teachers on
our unattractive salaries.

The family difficulties between Mr..
lose Gonzales and his wife, who live near
Reckord, were adjusted in Bel Air on
Monday outside of court. An under
standing was made by which Mrs. Con-
zales is to return home, and the charge
| har of Dht oirinn onnds under
false pretenses from Mr. Solomon Getz
was dismissed. Frank Trago, who was
also arrested, was given notice to leave
the county, and the case against him is
still held open with the promise of prose
cuton should he return.
Mr.. S. E. Penning, we'll known
member of the Hartford bar, who resides
in Havre de Grace, was severely injured
in Baltimore on Wednesday afternoon of
| last week. He was thrown down and
dragged by street car, which started
prematurely, just as he was getting on.
He sustained deep cut over the right
eye and his face and nose were also bruised. |
His right leg below the knee was badly
lacerated. He was taken to the home Of
his son, Dr. Penning, in Baltimore, where
his wounds were dressed.
Rev. R. A. Castleman, rector of Elk
ridge parish, visited his old friends in Bel
Air on Monday and Tuesday. He spoke
in kindest terms of the reception given |
him by community in which he has cast
his lot Their substantial kindness and |
courtesy show that he has fallen into |
good hands. Mr.. Castleman and all his |
family, even the servant girl have been
i'll with the grip. but fortunately are now
recovering. Mr.. Castleman still retains
warm spot in his heart for the people
of Bel Air, and has the kindest interest
in their welfare.
The differences between the state of
PENNSYLVANIA and the Mccall Ferry |
Power company in regard to the build |
ing of the proposed dam at McCalls |
Ferry have been adjusted, and the cree
ton of the structure will be no longer |
hindered by the state authorities. as it |
has been agreed to construct a lock in
the dam. This is in accordance with the |
idea of making the Susquehanua navi-
gable by the slack water which will be
backed by the different dams for electro
hydraulic power, should the present
schemes for developing the same go
through.
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers ofthe Maryland and Pennsylvania rail
road was held on Tuesday. The gross
earnings for the year were 1854 $50, an
increase of $9,7 The net earnings
show an increase of $500 The surplus
for the year was $33. $50. This the d.
rectors regard as satisfactory, in view of
local conditions existing along the line.
General Manager ]. S. Norris stated that
the tomato pack in Hartford county was
not equal to that in past years and that
a shortage in the potato and apple crops
also tended to cut down the revenues of
the road. The same officers were re-elect-
ed.
The first of the series of mems meet
ings will be held in the Assembly Rooms
of the Masonic Temple, Bel Air, on Sun
day afternoon at 3 o'clock. 1t will be
addressed by Archdeacon Powers, of
Towson. He is we'll and favorably
known as one of the best pulpit orators
in the state and his presence will draw a
l. &c ;r@a +aI =
has been decided to have these meetings
for men only, the same as last year,
although considerable pressure has been
brought to make them open to every
body. We can see no particular force in
excluding the ladies, but bow in humble
submission to the will of the majority of |
the committee.
"A petition has been signed by milk |
shippers and many farmers of Hartford |
and Baltimore counties. living along the |
stations of the Philadelphia, Baltimore !
and Washington railroad between the
Susquehanna river and Magnolia, re-
questing the delivery of their milk to |
Calvert instead of President street sta
ton. The reason for this request is the |
comparative inaccessibility of President
street station. 1t is also said that milk
at this place brings two cents a gallon
less than at Calvert street station. The
arbitrary action of the Pennsylvania
railroad in delivering milk at President
street station alone causes considerable
moneyed loss to the people of this coun-
ty, and some of the farmers claim that if
redress cannot be had in Baltimore,
they will send their product to Washing
ton where a much better price can be
| obtained.
Judging by the light travel, few per
sons seem to be aware that the Maryland
and Pennsylvania railroad runs a special
train from Bel Air to Baltimore on Wed
nesday and Saturday evenings, leaving
at 6.35 O'Clock and returning at 113O
the same night 1t is intended to give
an opportunity for those wishing to take
an early supper in Bel Air to 60 the city,
spend the evening and get back that
night. This train enab les pleasure seekers
to reach the city at 7.35, giving ample
time to get to any place of amusement. 1t
should have better patronage than it has
been receiving and if we wish the railroad
company to continue in its present pro-
gressive and up to date schedule, there
