UWe noticed in our last the attack of
Mr.. Weller of Ohio, upon Mr.. Shriver, the
Washington reporter of the Baltimore
Patriot. Mr.. Shriver has since challenged
Mr., Weller. The challenge was not ac-
cepted by Mr.. w. When surrounded by
friends, and his antagonists unarmed, he
had the nerve TO abuse him-but when that
antagonist gets on equal footing, the bully
ing Weller shows his dung-hil feathers.

MAP OF HOWARD COUNTY.

A map of this county has just been con-
pleted by w. r. SINGLETON, Esq, TO which
we call the attention of the public. A cor,
rect map of the county was very much
needed, and the county court were very for
tunate in securing the services of one SO
well skilled in the business as Mr.. s. We
understand the county courts of Charlton
and Randolph have employed Mr.. s. to pre-
pare similar map of those counties.
The Map is projected on scale of one
mile to the inch. The lengths of the clos
ing lines on the north and west Of the
townships; the length of the southern limit
of each section; the distances between the
corners on all the township lines and the
fallings on the same, are all accurately laid
down. thereby en9bling the County Sur
veyors to subdivde any section in the
County. The New Madrid locations are
all laid down, and when the boundary lines
of the same do not correspond with the
Congressional lines, the bearings and dist
ances thereof which are given these claims.
are all colored, so as to distinguish them
at glance from the Congress lands. The
No. of certificate; No. of acres; the origi-
nal claimants; name and the No. of the
survey, are all accurately laid down in
each claim. The Municipal townships are
well defined and the name of each written
therein. The roads are traced out accord
ing to the surveys and the best information
that can be obtained-and the most promi-
nent farms situated on said roads-are laid
down. The streams are traced out from
the field notes. The names of the towns
in the county are in sufficiently large let
tiers to be detected at glance; the accu-
rate town plats of the same, taken from
the County records. with each lot and
block numbered, and the streets named.
are placed on the margin of the map. This
will certainly be great help TO the asses
sor, as he will be enabled at glance TO
assess the lots with equity.
The map is four feet long, by two and
half wide. We understand that if suf.
ficient number of subscribers can be OBJ
tanned Mr.. S. will have the map litho-
graphed. We presume a hundred would
be sufficient. ~4~

COUNTERFEIT HALF DoLLARs.-The ST.
Louis New Era says: "A number of coun.
terfeit half dollars are in circulation in this
city, bearing the date of 1888; they are OF
dark yellow color, poorly finished and
defective, and to an experienced eye are
easily detected. They are mostly offered
in and about our market, to persons who
are not in the habit of handling much mon
ey. We noticed an instance this morning
in the Central market-a German was ar
rested for passing one of these counterfeit
half dollars on a green lad from the coun-
try and on examining his pockets he found
another of the same date, and from every
appearance, manufactured at the same es-
tablishment. which he had received from
some other person during the morning.
The German was taken before the proper
officer, and after an examination was set
at liberty, he protesting, as every one does
who has been charged with similar Of
fence, his utter ignorance of all money.
