A number of ladies and gentlemen of this town are attending the Masonic fair at Belts- ville this week. The Sunday school of the Presbyterian Church received the customary Christmas treat, consisting of candy, oranges and books, last night. The program was not a lengthy one, but all present enjoyed a pleasant evening and the children were delighted. Rev. James Nichols, the pastor, presided, and Mrs. Col. Fleming and other ladies of the church assisted in making the children happy and in having them perform well their respective parts of the program, This school is the smallest in this County Historical Society, the object of which will be to gather together and pre- serve for future generations all data and historical records relating to the growth of the country from the date of its organization in 1748 to the present time. There is scarcely any one section of the country that is richer in val- unable contributions to the history of the for- mation of the American government than Fred- erick, and out of the labors of the his- torical society it s thought that sufficient ma- terial may be obtained to be of great value in the preparation of future histories of the colo- nihl period.

Shortly after the construction of this peculiar road it was discovered that it was impossi- ble to proceed any great distance without the cars leaving the track, which was due to the spreading of the rails. This was finally rem- edied by substituting ties that would reach from one track to the other, as in the modern roads. This was before steam was tried, the care at that time being pulled by horses.

Under the rule of Napoleon I, of whom Mr. Hassler was an admirer, he was one of the two attorney generals of Switzerland.

The politicians were to rooeive thie, reply a their question: “I can't stop my work to explain to you things yeu do not know cuough to understand.
