A Washington special to the Baltimore Sun of recent date says No pending legislation before the Maryland Legislature is watched with more interest here than the measures relating to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Many suggestions have been thrown out in the last six months as to what ought to be done and what is likely to be done. Sentiment here favors very much the project of a railroad, but it is generally conceded by practical people that there Js little probability Qf receiving sufficient capital under proposition to restore the canal as a waterway. Since the destructive freshet of last June the canal has been totally abandoned, with the few miles restored and operated above Georgetown and a space of similar extent in the vicinity of Cumberland. From information which comes here to interested parties from Annapolis the impression is that a measure will be agreed upon which result in the construction of a railroad from Cumberland to Washington, which will be tapped at Williamsport by a branch to be built bv the Western Maryland Railroad.

This, it is said, would be generally satisfactory, us it would give to Baltimore the advantage of cheaper coal and would also give railroad facilities to the lower parts of Washington, Frederick and Montgomery counties, and bring them at the same tjme in close connection with Baltimore, Georgetown and Washington.

February 20th, Wm. M. Blackford will sell stock and farm- ing implements at Antietam Cement Mills, in Maryland, a mile east of Shepherdstown. A Model Newspaper. Due of llin renifti'kjible things in journalism is the growth of the ingtou Star.

A few years ago the Star was a modest little four page paper with a limited circulation, with no pretensions in journalistic achievements. To-day it is an eightpage sheet, fully abreast with the times, with ull the accessories of the wonderful modern newspapers. Its circulation has kept pace with jts in1 crease in excellence, and now it is so far I ahead ot the other Washington papers that they are not in the race. It is still growing, moreover, and the circulation that was 27.841 daily in Jan- uary, 1889, was in December of the same year 31.053. Editorially, typographically, and in every other respect, the Star is a model newspaper.

J. H. Show recemly bought a section, and while working at it on Wednesday found full barrel of coal oil. This will prolably renew interest ia the search. Receives for Me Canal.

The Chesapeake and Ohio canal case was called in equity br Cox in Washington last Monday morning, and he announced that after an examination of the case he had determined to appoint receivers to take charge of the canal, as prayed in the bill filed on behalf of the bondholders 1 of 1878. Justice Cor in announcing the opinion of the court said that the Legislature of the State of Maryland in 1878 had authorized the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company to contract a loan, and had provided that the non-payment of these coupons or interest thereon should because authorizing the bondholders to apply for a sale of the canal. It was admitted, he said, that the canal is now in default, and while the act of the Leg islature of Maryland could not create jurisdiction in the courts outside of the State, yet equity courts always possessed power to intervene in any case to prevent injustice. It was a matter of fact that the canal, in its present condition, could not be made to pay. He felt, therefore, obliged to grant the petition of the mortgagees of 1878 for the appointment of receivers, and he would sign a decree to this effect to be drawn by Messrs.

Morris and Hamilton, the counsel of these bondholders. Mr. Henry C. Winship, of Georgetown, and Mr. Victor Cushwa.

of Willia in sport, have been named as receivers by the ashington court, and will at once take charge of that part of the canal lying within the District of Columbia. Uncommon Game in These Parts. For over a week past a flock of about a dozen wild geese have been staying in the marsh near Col. John K. Schley's residence a couple of miles i from town.

They have been shot at I a number of times, but Mr. laylor I Powell is the only person who has bagged any of the game. Tuesday morning Mr. Powell shot one of the geese on the fly. It measured 5 feet 2 inches from tip to tip of its wings, and weighed ten pounds.

On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Thomas Warfield shot a fine, large wild turkey a few miles above town, along the river. There were three of the turkeys together, but the others flew away before Mr. Warfield could get a second shot at them. The turkey was bought by Mr.

J. N. Trussel), who afterward sold it again. A Great Yield of Corn. The greatest yield produced in America has been awarded the prize of offered by the American Agriculturist for the largest crop of shelled cqru grown i on one acre in 1880.

The crop was within a fraction of bushels green weight, which shrunk to bushels when kiln dried, and when chemically dried contained 217 bushels. The South Carolina State Board of Agriculture doubled the prize, making the award in all. This crop was grown by Z. J. Drake, of Marboro couuty, South Carolina.

It is nearly twice as large as the greatest authenticated crop ever before reported. The S'SQO awarded for the laryest yield of wheat last year goes to Henry F. Burton, of Salt Lake City, Utah, for a yield of 80 bushels on one acre. Married in Haste. The following lightning-like romance is described in the last issue of the Charlestown Democrat "Mr.

The wedding bells rang a merry peal from the Presbyterian Church tower on Wednesday afternoon of thin week, when the marriage of Mr. Daniel H. Folk, of Berkeley county, and Miss Hettie Lernen. daughter of Mr. Win.

T. Lernen, of this vicinity, was celebrated. The ceremony was arranged for 3 o'clock, and the appointed time found the large church crowded with the relatives and friends of the contracting parties. The ushers were Dr. Ed.

L. Strode, Charles Adrian Lyne, Shannon Hollida and Chas. Billmyer. who proceeded to the altar by way of the side aisles. Then came the two little pages, David Leuien and George Beltzhoover, who opened and held wide the floral gates through which the bride and groom passed to the waiting minister, Rev.

Charles Ghiselin. After the simple but impressive ceremony of the church had made the twain one flesh, the bridal party drove to Shenandoah Junction, where they took the train for ash- i ington. The bride was dressed in a very handsome brown costume, and car- ried a bouquet of Marechal Niel roses. The groom was dressed in a well-fitting Prince Albert suit. Miss Jennie Smith played the wedding march in a skillful and pleasing manner.

The church was most beautifully decora- ted with flowers and plants, rare taste being displayed in their arrangement. 1 The happy young couple, who are both well-known and popular among a very large circle of friends, start in life under bright auspices, and we wish them long continued prosperity.

SHEPHERD COLLEGE NOTES. The long expected joint meeting of the Parthenian and Ciceronian Literary Societies of Shepherd College was held Friday evening. At 7 o'clock the exercise's opened with a song by the school, "The Sleigh-ride. A selection was then read by Miss Rosa Billmyer, entitled "Bridget asa School Teacher." She read it in a clear, strong voice, which was highly appre- ciated, as most of our young ladies are inclined to adopt a very low and dignified tone of voice when before the public. We were then favored with music by Miss Minnie Reinhart.

1 Mr. George W. Johnson had a very forcible oration on "Self which was well delivered. An excel- I lent essay by Miss Rosa Weber, sub- i ject, "Dreaming," followed. She "Day-dreaming is a very injurious habit indulged in by many people, The efleot upon the mind of allowing it to wander through scenes of imagined wealth, ambition, frivolity, or pleasure, is very hurtful.

If tends to withdraw the mind from the important pursuits of life, to weaken the habit of attention, and to injure the judgment." Miss Annie Lewis dec- lamation. "Miss Maloney on the Chi- 1 nese Question," was a grand success. She has an excellent voice and made herself distinctly heard throughout the house. Mr. Hugh Leavell, thedeclaiuier from the Ciceronian Society, was detained at home by "la grippe.

He was greatly missed. The regular exercises were closed with a duet by Misses Reinhart and Kichelberger. After that, "Kentucky by Miss Ilosa Billmyer. and "Love in a Cottage," by Miss Annie Lewis, were called for. I'he young ladles respond- ed cheerfully and did great credit to the pieces.

Royal Wall New Yorjp: Farmer Clark Adams living near Covington, Ohio, bought gold brick from a man who gave the name of David Watson and who claimed to be a wealthy gold mine owner of Arixona. who had returned to Ohio in com- pany with his partner, an Indian, for the purpose of finding a Mr. Clark Adams who had befriended him when he was a poor boy. Mr.

Adams did not remember having helped Mr. Watsou, but when the Indian partner became tired of looking for his partner's benefactor and demanded money for his share of the gold bricks that they had brought with them. Mr. Adams, after submitting a brick to a United States assayist, whose name was found on the hotel register, ad- vanced which was promptly to the Indian. Then Watson.

Indian and assay ist all left. The gold brick was worthless. Virginia is thus far the only known State which boasts of hen dentins. Some time since the Page Courier published an account of a hen there angrily flying at a farmer and nailing out one of his teeth. (Jeorge ileath, who lives in Hanover county, was in Richmond the other day, nnd Mated that on Saturday morning he went to his hennery and attempted to take a hen off her'roost, uhen flew in his 1 face, pecked hiiu in mouth, and took out a tooth which had been troubling Mr.

Heath for some time, and which he intended having extracted. This is the seOOCtd hen dentist in Virginia. I.aura Linton, a maiden lady liv- iii? on a farm in Lorain county, -hot and killed Tuesday by two boys named Roberts and who mistook her for a burglar. Miss Linton feared tx visit from burg lars. and asked the boys to stay at her house.

They armed themselves with shotguns, and hearing a noise at night, arose and fired at the supposed burglar. It is believed the woman was walking in her sleep, as she made no response when they called to her.
