The BR0THERs GLANTz--one mere boy--were,
several days ago, tried at the Marlboro prince
Georges county, Md court, and acquitted Of the
charge Of assault and battery with intent to kill
Mr.. Edward Duvall, who resides near Bladensburg,
and on whose premises they had encroached du-
ring a cunning expedition. The elder brother hay-
ing got into difficulty with Mr.. Duvall, the young
er, in the excitement of the moment, came to ms
relief and shot Mr.. Duvall. Though tho last named
was seriously injured, the wound did not prove ia
tai The occurrence took place last autumn, at
which time we stated all the particulars attending
the affair." The parties were arrested in this city
while they were quietly drinking lager beer on
Capitol Hill.--Sentinel.
By the above notice, 1t would seem that the
shooting of person by couple Of boys is very
triiing matter, provided the person shot Is not
killed. These brothers Glantz-two Germans,
presume--it appears were trespassing upon Mr..
Duvalrs premises, and perhaps shooting about his
house, and because ordered off, thought proper to
shoot Mr.. D. himself; all of which was a very in
significant affair!
Persons residing in the vicinity of the city, and
cultivating their grounds, are very much annoyed,
and injured by men and boys, chiefly foreigners,
who think they have perfect right TO go where
they please, commit whatever trespasses they
please, shoot game upon any ones premises, and,
ifthey can find no other, make game Of the do
nestle fowls, greatly endangering the lives OF chill
dren and others. And yet one must not attempt
to put stop to these trcsspasses and annoyances
lest they should be shot--a very funny joke,
trulyi
However insignificant such an affair may be in
tho eyes of the Sentinel think it time that peo-
pie living in the vicinity of this city had some pro-
lection against such jokes being practised upon
them. A SUrYERKR.

This press INDUCES, inits issue Of yesterday,
in some puerils misrepresentation Of the edi-

in this juvenile assault is non distinctly de-

proper in the sequel, to fight the devil with

HExr CULTURE ON THE FLORIDA KHrs.--The
Key West correspondent of the Charleston
News, gives the following intelligence:

"Upon Knights and Duck Key we observe ex-
tensive fields of Sisal hemp. Several hundred
thousand plants or suckers have been set out and
by the tall growth prove that our soil and climate
are well adapted to the cultivation Of this valuable
plant The hemp plant requires but little care.
Il isstrong, thrifty, and viii flourish upon barren
sand bank. It forces itself through the surround
ing weeds and shrubs, and mounts high above
them all. The fibre Of many plants grown on this
Key exceed eight feet in length. II is strong, Of
fine mstrc, and in color creamy yellow. As this
plant procures more nourishmcnt from the air than
from the earth, and needs only to be watcred by
the dews, Il Is well adapted to our Keys, We
know of no other article that could be grown to a
profit and we look forward to the success Of those
onw introducing II, with much interest,"

The American Party in New York.

As an illustration of the increase of the Ameri-
can vote in New York since last November, we
adduce the following statement of facts in regard
to Niagara county, from the Auburn American:
"'S Sam won brilliant triumphs at the town cleo
tions in Niagara county this week, carrying nine
of the twelve towns, and securing majority In the
county, Of 800 votes He had Foreigners and fu-
sion 70 contend with, but soundly threshed them
both. Last fall the majority against Ullman in the
county was 400 Now the American party has a
clear majority Of 800! Something of = change In
six months Niagara will be good for iull l,6oo
majority next fall
+" In Lockport, says the Courier, the result Is
noble and glorious Here is the stronghold Of the
fasionists-the foreign population Is large, and no
steps were loft unturned to defeat the American
party. Every man on the ticket was elected, and
that too, over all others-having majority OF all
the votes polled.' The whole number of votes cast
was l,764 The average number Of votes cast for
the American ticket was $40; for the fusion, S24.
OF the latter II IL estimated by persons who at
tended the polls, all the day, that about 600 were
cast by the Irish, at least 1t will not vary so from
that Misunderstanding about $50 for the American
citizens, Five-sixths of the American citizens
voted for the American ticket"
