AFFAIRS IN MONTGOMERY CoUNTY-The Rock.
vile (Md.J Journal, of Saturday, has the annexed
paragraphs:
"Wm. Edenb0, who convicted of q conspi-
racy to entice slaves from their owners and was
sentenced to five years imprisonment in the county
Jail and to pay fine Of five hundred dollars, has
been pardoned by the Governor, and his fine remit
ted. He laid in Jail over twenty one months. He
took his departure on Wednesday morning last for
his home in Pennsylvania. The ground OF his par
don was petition to the Governor, very numer-
ousy signed by citizens of this county, who were
satisfied from facts which came to be known since
his conviction that he guilty Of the charge
OF which he was convicted; or, at least, they were
such to render his guilt extremely doubtful, and
altogether improbable.
Sour county visited by pretty severe thun-
der storm on Tuesday last-the lightning and thun-
der was unusually terrific. We fear considerable
damage has been done. We hear only, however,
of the following, the results of the storm: George
=. Braddock had the chimney of his dwelling
house blown down, and a part of his roof was in-
Jured Seven sheep, on the farm OF the Misses Cal
Their, near Sandy Spring, were killed by lightning.
An untcnanted house in Pooesvie, belonging to Mr..
Joncs, was blown down, injurng several negroes
them had leg broken. We also learn that in some
places barne, stables, fences, &c., blown down
"a tetc years ago 1t was customary for the farm
ers OF Frederick county to send to Montgomery
for their harvest hands. Things have go much
changed of late that laborers cannot be spared
owing to the immense increase in our crops of
wheat. Indeed, we have heard it suggested, and
think it likely many of our wheat growers will act
upon IT. TO send to Frederick this year for hands to
assist at our harvests.
"Ihe tceather during the past week has been in
tensely warm; thermometer at eighty four degrees
Vegetation has started into new lie Wheat and
clover have grown amazingly. The effect of the
warm sun upon the oats has been highly favorable,
and they begin to show quite handsomely. Corn
planting has been going on vigorously, and nearly
all have finished, though few have just begun.
tIHc OF the tOcuSfs has not vet been heard
in our community. Wehave seen myriads of them,
however, dug from the earth. We learn that our
friend, N. Brooke, esq, lost large number of hogs
from eating locusts; and even the chickens have
Toasted them at the cost of their paiabie lives
We advise all to give their hogs at least once
a day, and little salt wouldn't hurt''

A simple gift he gave;
A sea.shell gathered by his hand
From out the ripping wave;
Oh. love, by this remember me.
Far inland thou must dwell,
But thou shalt hear the sounding sea,
In the murmur of the shell.
All, woe is me! with atter'd sail
The ship is wildly tost!
A drowning cry Is on the gale,
They snk-and all are ,ost!
While happy yet untouched by fear,
Repeating his farewell,
Poor Mary smiles, and loves TO hear
The murmus OF the shell.
The tdings wrecked her simple brain;
And smiling now she goes,
A mad girl-reckless of her pain
Unconscious of her woes;
Bat when they ring the village chimes,
That toll'd the lovers knell,
She sighs and says she hears at times
Death. music in the she'll

Just before Napoleon set out for Belgium, he
sent for the cleverest artisan of his class, in Pa
ris, and demanded of him whether he would en-
gage to make coat Of mail to be worn under
the ordinary dress which should be absolutely
bullet. proof, and that if so, he might name his
own price for such work. The man engaged
to make the desired object, if allowed proper
time and he named eighteen thousand francs as
the price of it. The bargain was concluded, and
the artisan honored with second audience Of
the Emperor. "Now," said his Imperial Males
ty, "put it on" The man did so. GAS | am

pose, have no objection to do the same" And
he took brace of pistols, and prepared to dis
charge one of them at the breast Of the aston.

and half dead with fear he stood the fire, and tC
the infinite credit of his work, with perfect i'm

back of the artist, and afterwards fowling
piece at another part of him, with similar effect
"Well," said the Emperor, "you have procuceC
a capital piece of work, undoubtedly. What i
the price of it ?" Eighteen thousand franc
were named as the agreed sum. "There is al
order for them," said the Emperor, " and here
another for an equal sum, for the fright have
given you"
