"BARNEY LET THE GIRLS ALONE" A case
of some interest to the ladies', as we'll as to GER
tain youngsters of the other sex, who suffer
their ndiscretion to get the better of their gal
lantry was decided in Washington County
Court last week. The Hagerstown News
says.
''Our readers will recoIlect that at the mill
tary encampment held at this place more than
a year ago, Il young man named Walker, from
| Waynesboro', Pa, was arrested for an insult
offered to the wife Of Mr.. Guyn, blind man,
then resident of this place. The insult con-
sisted in throwing his arm most affectlonately
around the neck of the lady upon the camp
4 ground, in the face of the public, and attempt
ing to ravsh from her sweet lips an amorous
kiss, together with the use Of words not suited
( to ears polite The case last week came up
before Judge Martin, who exhibited his gal
lanLry in defence of the rights of the ladies', by
sentencing Mr.. Walker to two months lmprls-
onment and fine of fifty dollars. Let this be
4 warning to gentlemen, how, when and where

darts Of Cupid-and the Law.
SHIP ON FIRE AT New York. The ship
Katherine Jackson, lying at Pier No. i North
River, was discovered TO be on fire on Wednes-
day morning, about o'clock. The fire, says
the Herald, was entirely in the hold, where
there was a cargo, consisting of is casks of
madden, 2 casks of wine, &c, brought from
Rotterdam and consigned to the firm Of Decke
s. Gerdes, of Baltimore. There were also on
board, number of oil paintings, which were
insured in London. The cargo of wine and
madden was valued at about $4,000, and was
probably insured in Baltimore. Several casks
Of the madden were burnt, and the remainder
were all ruined by water from the engines
The fire was, without doubt, the work of an
incendiary, as there had been no fire in the
hold, and during the night the matches we're
locked and seaed--the captain intending to
have sailed to-day. The shp was not injured
at all by fire.
THE paintings above referred TO, were in
tended for ST. Vincent de Paul and the Ger
man Catholic Church, corner of Saratoga and
Park streets, and their admirable execution, 1t
is said, reflected infinite credit upon the artist,
: MIR. Lockwood, Of this city, who has been alb
sent at Rome for the last two years.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. The line
weather we have had for the last three weeks
has been suspicious. The Germantown Tele-
graph says the grain crops wear very proms-
ing appearance. They have stood the winter
admirably. Accounts from other quarters also
speak encouragingly of the wheat fields
