A Cecil Fire, A communication from Couowingo,says; A fire at Kook Springs, Cecil county,at 1 o’clock Suifday morning destroyed the furniture store and undertaking shop, a large dwelling house,also the blacksmith shops. The proper ty was owned by Mrs. Mullin.and oc.upien by Whitman Brothers, who carried on a large furniture and undertaking business. Mr. Whitman was coming home from Oakwood, and got near the place, when he saw a man running around the building. Mr. Whitman gave chase. On passing the side door of the store he saw the interior iu flames. He gave the alarm. His family and also his brother’s family had hardly time to escape from the burning building. They escaped in their night clothes. Neighbors loaned them clothing. | There was nothing saved. Thestoreoccupied by Mr. Brown, ot Kock Springs, was burned 14 months ago. It is thought it was set on The School Entertainment. One of the largest crowds which ever as- serablcd at the Masonic Temple greeted the performers at the primary school entertain- meat on Friday night. The excellent manner in which these exhibitions had hitherto been conducted and the reputation for thorough 1 training which the young ladies in charge of the school have acquired, raised public expec tation to a high pitch. And public expecta tion was not disappointed. The youngsters “ reflected credit upon their teachers as well as themselves. It would be hard to tell who were the height particular stars. Anna Fur cell was entrusted with probably the most dif- 1 licult pat t, and took the part bravely and ! well. The stage settings were as complete as ! the limited territory would permit, and all ' the features were successfully attractive. The calcium lights were used by Dr. Boyd with the skill of au expert, and added greatly ‘ to the effectiveness of the occasion. The gross receipts amounted to nearly onehundred ’ dollars.

Wilson and his wife have made a conquest of the hearts of his congregation than the gathering at the Piesbyterian par sonage Monday evening. The members of the church and many friends assembled in force and contrary to the expectation of the pastor and bis wife they did not come to tes t fy their love and esteem by words only but brought with them many tangible evidences in the way of donation of the good things of life including several amounts in cash, which even a preacher can find use for in these dajs of “carping care” and financial depression. It was a splendid evening for Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, for the people brought to them a tribute testifying their love. It was a splen did evening for the people, for they realized that he who had labored with them for years with hand and heart and brain, appreciated their feeling of gratitude and loved them in return earnestly and with sincere and high purpose. We will not attempt to describe the details of such an evening. There was laughter and smiles that push the care from life’s path. There was glint of tears, such tears as lift us up out of the shadows and above the mists, it is good that such great things can come into all lives and to all places and that they may come often into the lives of Kev. Wilson and wife is our most earnest wish.— Franklin Chronicle , Ohio. Kev. C. D. Wilson was formerly the beloved pastor of Churchville Presbyterian Church. — (Ed.) Insuring Their Own Property. The Board of School Commissioners of Har ford county have adopted a method of insur ing their property, which is unique and is be lieved to be the only one of the kind in the State of Maryland. The experience of a num ber of years past showed that the destruction of school property by fire was a very rare oc currence, and the amount of money paid out as premiums was virtually sunk. Looking at the matter in this light, they decided to create an insurance fund, and by appropriat ing annually the sum, about one hundred and fifty dollars, which had heretofore been paid out as premiums, they would be able to save enough in five years to renew any school house which would be destroyed by fire. The wisdom of such a course is at once ap parent. During nineteen years not a single building has been lost by fire, and bad this method been adopted some years back, there would be a sufficient sum on band at present to meet any emergency. The location of the school houses, one hundred and three in num ber, apart from each other, as they are, pre vents any heavy loss at one time, and will en able the Commissioners to meet such demands as arc likely to be made upon them promptly. It is a well known fact that some of the leading and most successful capitalists of the country, notably the Astors and the late Johns Hopkins, adopted the same plan and found It to be a feasible ami successful one. In its operations it is simple ami its results effective, ami it is a method which in the course of a few years will build up a capital which will be sufficient to lessen the amount now neces sarily appropriated annually. A Hatch or .Stolen (ioodn. On April 28th a colored man who gave his name as Aaron Warfield was arrested near Swan Creek, ami committed to jail on the charge of having in his possession property alleged to have been stolen. A description of the property was published at the time, and a few days ago a letter was received from Mr. William 11. Hollis, of Martinsburg, West Virginia, giving a description of a gun which was among the articles found. It is a Rich ards gun, No. 10 bore, w ith the Initials W. li. M. cut in the stock. An examination was immediately made and the initials found. He also claimed to have lost a revolver, and among the goods were a British bull dog of 38 calibre. Only a partial examination of the trunks had been made up to that time, but on Saturday last h thorough search was made which resulted in the discovery of numerous articles, among which the following are a part of the most important : A valise full of clothes ami papers, which was recognized by Mrs. Alice tautmyer, of Aberdeen. She had lost them about a year ago, at a time when Warfield was employed by her in helping to clean house. One gold filled American watch, two steel watch cases, two silver drinking caps and cases, six ikw caps, a beaver overcoat, Paris made; a com plete barbers outfit, twelve new hats, forty two handkerchiefs, in a celluloid handker chief case; stockings, cuffs, collars, rubber shoes, penknives and two gunning outfits for breech-loading shot guns, and numerous other articles. Z The name of Aaron Horsey was found writ ten in an old book in one of the trunks, and it may be that Warfield is an assumed name. On a piece of an envelope was found the name of Miss Mary E. Keene, Cambridge, Mil., post marked at Taylors Island, Dorchester county, Md. A letter to Warfield, written by G. L. Hipkins, of Aberdeen, was found, and also one from Hie same place, but giving no name, both being directed to Warfield at. Cambridge. A letter has been received by Officer Charles W. Thompson, who made the arrest, from Thomas Hughlett, of Cambridge, stating that he had heard of the arrest of the negro and the finding of the goods, and stating that he had lost a valuable watch at the race track at Cambridge. All of Hie goods have been turned over to State’s Attorney Preston. Obituary. Miss Lizzie A. Alloway eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H.

The cases that will come before you i will probably be of an ordinary kind, of lar- ; • ceny and misdemeanors of various kinds; ! r there may he some serious offenses that 1 j know nothing about; if they come before you, . r of course you will have to investigate them, i r but I know of none now toeall your attention i to. So far as instructions in regard to your • routine duties are concerned, 1 see upon this ( panel quite a number of men 1 know are fa- , 1 miliar with the duties of tile grand jury. I . recognize the faces of those present as men j, who Jo not require special instructions. The charge I have to give you, gentlemen, ’ is that you accept your present service as a , public duty, discharge it in the spirit of the oath you have taken, without fear, favor or * affection—“that way all the honor lies.” In civilized countries the duty which the individ i ual owes to the Slate holds the highest place. Long ago a Roman poet, who knew tbe hu s man hcait and human nature said, “it is sweet an I honorable to die for one’s country.” u Then the military spirit was supreme and the t poet"s reference was especially to service in ij the field. In fact, however, Horace only gave expression to a decree of Him who formed the * human heart—every performance of a public I duty, faithfully, honestly and fearlessly done, n is entitled to be underwritten “ditlee ct deco rma.” Your present service is, in one sense, sn humble one: but it belongs to the very highest class. Accept and perform it as an honorable service. The State pays its ser , vants and it detracts nothing from your honor II to accept its pay, but the Judge on the bench, 3 ~ or the jurymen in the box who serves merely js for his “slipeudium,” loses entirely the 1, “sweetness,” and the “honor’’ of his service It was never wiitten that “it is sweet ami honorable to die for a bounty, however great, d or for pay and rations, however bountiful, r. The honor of public* service depends on faith j ful, fearless performance and not upon its 1 prominence,or a successful issue. Thousands ,e of men, honored by us and by the world, the ig benefits of whose services we enjoy today, r 8 died on the scaffold or languished in dun geons. The cases that will come before you, I d think will not occupy much of your lime, ami r e upon this point, probably a suggestion from me may be received as it is intended; that is. it is desirable always that terms of court is should be made as short as possible, consistent t, with the due administration of justice. Of ie course, economy is not the highest virtue in the world, and yet it is a very important con m aideration. Every day the jury is in session. a every day court is in session, involves ex -2e penses which Harford county must pay ;of course Harford county is able to pay all her J necessary expenses, and it. ought to do it, but J it ought not to be subjected to expenses ce which are not necessary. The grand jury can •p. not remain in session without costing al least ‘ h one hundred dollars per day. lv -* 1 do not mention this as something to shorten your necessary duties, but as a cau te lion not to consume time unnecessarily. • There have been grand juries before you, gentlemen, ami there will be grand iuric-- after you. Some things can go over until the in next grand jury. Misdeinemors can be prose-1 , r . ctited any time within a year -there may be j eases of removed misdemeanors In which vow I ) v would be more than ju-tilied in submitting :h nt supposed facts to Hie State’s Attorney to be in vestigated before the next grand jury.

You will probably have cases where the parties interested seek to have you investi f * gate their own personal wrongs, eithgr real pe or imaginary. There is a law against breaches of the peace, but if a person comes before you with a list of fifteen or twenty or thirty wit nesses to summon, it is a good plan to in quire and find out the motive, and if you find that motive it may help you to determine whether it is right to summon very many wit nesses or not. If a person comes before you with a long list of witnesses to be summoned, you have a right to find out his motive; in that way, you can perform all the duties which really are required of you, and probably save a good deal of time and expense. At any time you have a right to call upon the State’s Attorney for information as to anything that comes before you; you also have a right to apply to the court, and either of us will be glad to give you any instruction in our power. You may now retire. The bail if! will attend you. Upon the call of the docket, the following entries were made Hubbard & Co. vs. James N. Richardson; judgment by default.

The human tenement is often haunted—to the grievous discomfort of its possessor—by those malignant spirits, constipation and bil iousness. But the abominable pair may be speedily driven out w*ih the potent help ol Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters. This genial al terative. while it relieves the bowels and regu lates the liver, never, as a drastic purgative dees, produces violent effects and weakens the intestines. On the contrary, the action of the Bitters is precisely analogous to an effort of nature seeking to resume her proper functions. This furnishes pretty conclusive evidence tout it is better t use persuasive means, so to speak, than to endeavor io coerce nature to a return to duty. Violent re medics pro luceonly a temporary effect, followed by a hurtful re action. For indigestion, malarial and kidney complaints, rtieuinatism and nervousness, the Bitters takes highest rank among remedies ol the philosophic school. —Mr. Charles 11. Wetzel, of Sunbury, Pa., was so much pleased with a remedy which cur ed him of rheumatism that he made affidavit to the fact for publication as tollows. “This is to certify that on May 11th I walked into Mclick’s drug store on a nair of crutches, bought a bottle of Chambenain's Pain Bairn for inflammatory rheumatism which had crip pled me up.

Dave a Fraternal Time Together and Go In For a Brotherly Shave, In attendance upon the recent Inaugural ball at Helena, Mon., was E. H. Becker of the Billings Gazette and A. K. Yerkes of the Bozeman Chronicle, two men who would reflect credit upon journalism any where. They roomed together. During the evening of the ball Orpheus F. God dard was sent out to buy some white neck ties, but returned with the information that, while lie found a storo open, the pro prietor could net sell him a tiling, as it was after hours and he was afraid of a boycott. Tills announcement caused more or less wild defamation, especially when Goddard pulled out a necktie and quietly remarked that he took it when the proprietor wasn’t looking and would pay him for it in the morning. It was not until Goddard had iished out two more, similarly abstracted from the store, that Becker agreed to at tend the ball. Then ho discovered that ho needed a shave. “Oh, that’s all right,” said Yerkes. “I have a safety with me, and I’ll give you a share that’U make yon think I ought to have been a barber.” “What in the name of heaven is a safe ty! 1 ” said Becker. “Never you mind,” said Yerkes. “.lust lie back in the chair and go to sleep. I’ll wake you up when I get through.” Becker lay back while Yerkes pinioned his hands behind the chair and went at him with a lawn mower razor. It was a beard of a week’s growth, and the oper ator pulled and sawed with vigor. During the scrape, through which Becker yelled and swore and shed tears, a man from the next room came In and asked: “What in thunder are you tearing the paper off the wall for?” This did not disturb the imperturbable Yerkes one bit, but it made Booker swear, plead and threaten ail the harder. Never theless Yerkes held ids victim down and shaved him to a finish. Then ho remarked: “I haven’t any bay rum, or, in fact, any thing to put on that countenance, Becker, but I want to say that the face would turn an edge on a eorncutter. If it hadn’t been for the fact that the barber shops were all closed and thore’d been danger of a boycott if a barber had shaved you, 1 never would have staid with the job.” When Becker got ids breath, he sat up In the chair with a wild look, and said: “So that’s what you call a safety, is it? Well, I want to say that I’d rather have my whiskers pulled out by a corn shelter every time.” “Why?” asked Yerkes. “Wasn't that a good shave?” “A good shave?” yelled Becker. “Why, who in the name of heaven and earth over heard of a man being shaved without lather?” “Well, I’ll bo cussed!” Yerkes replied quietly. “I thought I had overlooked something by the way you howled aud kicked. ” —Helena Independent. The Star Sapphire. There is on exhibition in London a gem of such remarkable size and beauty that royal and ether millionaires are really quite excite about it and await with anx iety the inimitable day when one of their number will enrage the rest and seriously deplete ids own bank account by purchas ing the dreadfully attractive bit of stone. To mineralogists the jewel is simply a line sj. cimen of corum am for others it is a “star sapphire,” whose twin may exist in the mines of Ceylon, where this one came from, bat as the like has never been seen before the chances ~f duplication arc re garded as decidedly small. As precious stones go, tins sapphire is a monster, be ing 5 inches in circumference and weigh ing 040 carats as against 100 for the Koh inoor, 130 for the Regent diamond and TJt for the OrlolT. The stone, which is said to bo flawless, is almost in its natural state, not cut in facets, but polished “en cabochon,” to use the lapidary’s term. Its shape Is that of an irregular cono rounded at the top. The color is pale blue, clouded with a delicate white mist or (iceeiness. When lighted from above, six quivering, ever restless rays meet at the apex, a char acteristic which gives this variety of sap phire its name. One observer describes the gem as looking like the polo of a watery blue globe, with varying lines of longitude shooting out in silken flames toward a mythical equator at its base. When a light is placed on each side of it, three distinct stars appear, which change with the move ment of the illumlnants. The star sap phire is claimed to be impossible of imita tion and is next in hardness to the dia mond. The ancients ascribed to these stones the power of 1 ringing good luck, and there is-a legend that Helen of Troy owed her conquests as much to the posses sion of a star sapphire as to the celestial brightness of her eyes.—New York Times.

About 1344 she married a free colored man named John Tubman, but hud no children. During tho last two years of her slavery she lived in tho family of Dr. Thompson. In I Sit) the man to whom she belonged died, and by the provisions of tho will the slaves were to be set free. His wishes, however, were disregarded, and arrangements wore made to dispose of , them in the usual way. Previous to the , saio Mrs. Tubman made her escape and reached Philadelphia, where she found work and earned money. With this she | traveled back to Maryland for her hus band, but found that ho had married - again. , Between 1850 and 1860 she made no less than 10 trips to tho south and spirited away more than 300 slaves. Her work in aiding fugitive slaves enraged tho slave owners, and every effort was made to up ’ prebend her, A reward of §40,000 was • finally offered by them for her, either dead ■ or alive. On this account she was able to - do hut little toward assisting her people between 1833 and 1837.
