INCENDIARISN


We have in our midst some evil 9ispo-
sed person or persons who seem bent upon
destroying our town by fire. On Friday
last, about midday, the stable OF Capt.
David Barr, on Prosp' Ct Hill, was discov-
cred to be on ife-the firemnn and CIT.
zens with their wontrd prompiness re-
paired TO the spot, and by their exertoas
saved the surrounding stables, but could
not save the one on fire, VIII CHI was con.
sumed together with whatever il contain
ed. On Saturday, the day following,
about l O'Clock in the afternoon, the On
welcome cry Of fire again resounded
through the streets, startling our citizens
--ond this time the property the upper
end Of the town was in the most imminent
Danger for short while. The stable OF
DR.. John Reynolds, few PAGES from the
ono burnt tho day befor~, and immediately
in the rear Of the large dw' Hing OF the
late VIM. d. Bell, was discovered to be-
wrapped 10 flames. The wind being ex-
cessvely high, the sparks were waited all
over the town, but fortunately no property
was ignued by them, except the roof Of
Mr.. DAVIS ,tree. house which was
speedily exringuished. The building Of
Mr.. Bell, however was III great danger,
and but for the sctivily and unremltiing
efforts Of tie frrmen and others. would
doubtless have been consumed. The fire
vas confined to The stable in which il,
originated which was burnt to the ground.
Postscript. Just as our Paper was go.
ing to press, the alarm OF fire was again
given, TUESDAY l O'Clock, p M aud
upon repairing to the spot we found the
stable OF Mr.. Daniel King and that of
Mr.. John Loshbangh v,lopeG in flames,
both Of which were entirely consumed.
The stables were located in compact
part of the town, on the alley running be-
tween West Franklin and Vest Washing
ton streets but the energies Of our noble
firemen and citizens were equalto the task;
and no further injury was done. 1t was
the work Of incendiary.
WASHINGTON CouNrY Court adjourn
ed on Tuesday last. An adjourned term

completion of unfinished business. Do.
ling the late term, three prisoners were

FARMERS AND MMLERs' BANK.--Ac.
cordng to paragraph in the IIsgersiown
News ofthe 9Th inst, II appears that the
Attorney General of the State did not re.
ceive officially from the Governor, until
the 26lh ult. the resolutions directing him
to issue Scire FOcias rs. the Farmers
and Miliers' Bank. Washington County
Court commenced its session on the day
following, the eth. Time was not, there
fore, allowed him 10 issue the sclre fac,as
to this term of the court; but it will be
issued TO November court, lS43.
THE GLOBE ON TYLERIsM.--The
Globe 10 recent article thus speaks Of
the Tyler administration
"The administration of apoststes, ut.
terly abjured by The honest men Of both
parties, without having a solitary friend
returned as yet to either branch of the
next Congress-having no principle 10
build up party upon-no system Of
measures but that which the country has
marked with its Reproduction, now address.
es itself altogether to the cupidity of the
mercenary, to enlist body of Swiss for
followers"
The above is single sentence OF one
of the Globes assaults upon the admins
tration. 1t is full OF truth, not only in
regard to the administration, but as to the
character of the party to which that adj
ministration is " addressing itself'' for fol.
lowers.
