Mr. Ross is an able and eloquent speaker and his remarks were duly appreciated by his hearera.

Leap Year. Old bachelors who want to continue to sew on buttons and smoke their meerschaums alone and in silence, would do well to take to the woods, for the "ancient maids' 1 are having weekly meetings, for what purpose we cannot state. But leap year will be here in a jiffy, all the same, and the land was never so full of pretty women and girls. It is to be hoped that knowing their rights, the girls will maintain them, and thus end the miseries now experienced in many an old bachelor's chamber. Get Out Your Telescopes'.

An exchange says the comet of 1S12 may now be seen in the evening in the northwest in a telescope of moderate power, and is said to be visible in good opera glasses. In a few weeks it will be easily perceptible to the unassisted eye, and when the year 1884 makes its advent, it will be near its culminating point. It is not equal to the superb comet of 1882 in size or brilliancy, but it will be visible in the evening sky and will be so much more observe that there will be compensation in its lesened splendor. The bright moon now in the heavens prevents a good view being obtained of the comet. Winter Coming.

Coal fires and heavy woolen clothing are again quite comfortable. That stern oloT fellow, Winter, is steadily approaching, and his icy breath and frigid rigors are upon us; the wintry winds already are playing wild pranks upon our hills and careering madly over moor and heath, ana their furious blasts scatter the autumn leaves in thick profusion over the ground. Every gale that blows from the North ominously foretells his approach, and soon the old fellow will be here with all his stern rigors, and we should endeavor to be prepared to receive him in a fitting manner. Judge Hoffman waa on the bench Tuesrday for the first time in the Allegany scanty Court. Wanted to go Home.

A frightened animal, when on the run, is always avoided, and if in- a crowded thoroughfare creates a little confusion. Yesterday afternoon a horse belonging to Mr. Geo. Phoebus, was seen coming madly up East Patrick street, dragging the remnents of what could, at one time, have been called a sleigh but at present body less and with broken shafts. The horse took fright in the vicinity of Ramsburg, Koogle Go's and as usual struck a bee line for home.

He was, however, stopped in front of Mr. E. A. C. Fox's 'establishment and soon quieted down.

Damage to sleigh and Harness estimated at about $10. Misptaced Harness. Mr. C. E.

Mealey, the popular liveryman, was out in full rig yesterday, and with his dashing turnout cut quite a swell. Somehow or other the harness on one of the horses became misplaced whlh in front of Misses N. R. and D. Mantz's millinery establishment, on North Market street, and worried the animal considerably.

We were not an eye-witness of the aifair, but a looker-on informed us that there was some tall kicking, on the part of the team, in that locality for a second or so, and attracted a crowd in a few minutes. The difficulty was soon remedied and the team dashed ahead at their usual 2.40 gait. Marriage Licenses.

Harvey Buhman. The court was yesterday occupied with the case of the State s. Harvey Buhrman for assault with intent to kill. Young Buhrman shot Ezra Brown, of Foxviile, on November 1, 1882, the ball taking effect in his right knee and glancing upward. Some fowls belonging to Mr.

Brown had repeatedly been driven out of a field belonging to Mr. Bukrman and as often would return until the defendant, losing his patience; which is nothing more than natural, fired on them, killing one and maiming another. This so incensed! Brown that he followed Bnhrman wiih a large stona threatening violence, and after several appeals from Buhrman to desist ana would not, fired on him with the above result. The jury rendered a verdict of not guilty of assault with intent to bill, but guilty of assault and battery. The court has not yet passed any sentence on prisoner.

R. R. Thomas Carnes, a brtkeman in the employ of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company, while engaged in coupling cars, in this town, this evening, got his foot caught in a frog of the track, and before he could free himself a train, which was moving toward him, came upon him and several wheels passed over the foot. Dr. J.

Me. P. Scott, who attended him, regards the accident as quite a serious one. Dreadful Scarce. The Hagerstown JVews says: "Never in the history of a newspaper has local news been so scarce.

Nobody seems to be doing anything worthy of notice and the lot of the journalist no means lies in pleasant places." We are very much afraid that the same complaint has reached this place judging from the appearance of the local columns in our two daily papers published here. A Long Name. Letters of administration were ranted in the Orphans' Court in laltimore on Friday to Mr. Robert Lehr on the estate of Elizabeth Carlotta Petronella Bath Hendrickson von Boetzelaer Von Dubbeldam widow of Christian Willem Johan Baron Van Boetzelaer Van Dubbeldam. The widow of the Baron Boet- zelaer lived in Germany, but she owned about $30,000 worth of bank stock in Baltimore, and on that account the letters were taken out.

New London Items. The farmers generally are through with their fall work and are about ready for winter. The Sabbath-school at Central has closed for the winter. The butchering season has nearly passed. Some fine hogs were slain in the neighborhood.

have not heard of any Christmas entertainments in the neighborhood. that an entertainment will be given at the Reformed Church, in Mt. Pleasant, on Monday night before Christmas, and another at the M. P. Church, in New Market, on Christmas night.

Look Out for Him. The Union Bridge Index warns the nblic against a man calling himself teel, who peddles silver polish. The Index says he spent three days in Union Bridge and left without paying his board bill and a bill for job work at the Index office. He also borrowed small amounts of money from the generous citizens of that place, which he never returned. We suppose it is hardely necessary to warn the citizens of this place, as the gentleman in person has been around and we are informed left a few minor bills behind not receipted.

Counterfeit Money. Several merchants in Hagerstown have discovered to their sorrow that a well-executed counterfeit of the standard dollar has been put in circulation in that city. Aside from a peculiar bluish cast that pervades the coin, there is but little that would guide the unitiated in its detection, except by comparison with a genuine coin. The weight of the counterfeit is equal to that of the genuine, though there is a perceptible imperfection of the milling when scrutinized closely. We caution everybody to guard against this intrusion.

This is the only means of keeping it out of the community. Orphans' Court. The following is the business transacted before the Orphans' Court for the week ending Dec. 19: Letters testamentary on the estate of George F. Webster, dec'd, Mrs.

Tobacco Dealers' Claims. The Tobacco Board of Trade of Baltimore, at a recent meeting appointed a committee to prepare memorials to Congress asking an appropriation to pay the claims of dealers for rebate on tobacco and snuff. The memorials will be prepared and taken around for signatures, and then sent to Washington. The manufacturers were paid in stamps for the rebate due them on account of the reduction of the internal revenue tax. No provision, however, waa made for the payment of rebate to dealers.

The amount due to dealers in the country on account of rebate is between three and four millions dollars. Maryland and the District of Columbia have 554 claimants, representing $109,000 in rebates. Of the 554 claims, all but one, and that for but $19, have been audited as correct. Congressman Findlay already introduced a bill to pay claims of the dealers in the country. i A uai YY i.
