PaEJuDIcE.-The following forcible and
beautiful delineation of prejudice is ascribed
by Hugh Warrington, late English divine,
to the celebrated DR.. PRICE "Preiudice
may be compared to misty morning in Oc-
tober: man goes forth to an eminence, &
he sees at the summit ola neigboring hill, a
figure apparently of gigantic stature--for
such the imperfect medium through which
he is viewed would make him appear. He
goes forward few steps and the figure ad.
vances towards him the size lessons as
they approach; they draw still nearer, and
the extraordinary appearance is gradually
but sensibly diminished; and at last they
meet, and perhaps the person he had taken
for monster proves to be his own brother. !"

CLARK,S CASE,

The examination Of WILLIAM CLARs
who has been in the Jail Of Washington
county for some weeks, under the nam'
Of PETER DEAN, charged with the murder
Of JACOB HINE, of Pleasan. Valley, in
this county, in 1929, took place under ha.
bius corpus, at the Court. house, on Mon.
day last, before the Hon. JOHN BUcHAN.
AN, Chief Justice Of the Court of Appeals
of Maryland. A number of veryIespect.
able gentlemen, from Hartford CO. appear
ed as witnesses in behalf of the accused.
It was proved, most conclusveIy and sat-
sfactorily, that the accused was not Peter
Dean, but William Clark, Of Hartford
county, who was born in Baltimore coun.
ty, whence he renewed to Hartford CO. in
his youth, where he had constantly lived
for rs or so years, with buff and short
intervals, up to the time Of bis emigration
to Ohio, about is months ago. Dean,
on the contrary, was native OF this coun-
ty, and was proved 80 have lived saH-
stantiy in it up TO the time Of the murder.
Clark's character was clearly established
to be that OF a peaceable, orderly, honest,
industrious, punctual we'll behaved man.
He has wife and large family in Lick
ing county, Ohio.
Much sympathy was excited in his be-
half by the Developments ofths examin.
alton. And, after his discharge, sub.
scription, accounting to $3.50, was raised
for him, and his passage home, free, in the
stage, kindly profered. Mr. J. D. Kee-
dy, upon whose information, Clark was
arrested, gave him $50. 1t is due to Mr..
Keedy to state, that several respectable
gentlemen OF Washington county, concur
with him in the belief that there is a very
striking resemblance between Clark and
Dean.

to know if such was the fact, and if he

luded to, and would retract nothing nor
offer any apology. They appeared in
the street at the distance of hundred
yards apart, and each, considering il the
duty of the other to attack, acted on the
defensive. They we're both we'll armed,
and though public expectation was on tip
toe, it was disappointed: no attack was
made by either. After this, verbal chal

pistols each, and large knife; TO COM
