Bad Treatment of The son of Patriot.-A
few days ago we met MIR. Maxwell of Miliort
cross roads, Mill Greek Hundred, who com
planned bitterly Of the loss of heiter which h
attributed to the conduct of one Of his neigh
u nsrs whom he charged with having taken hi
y cows off the road, removed the bell from Oh
y OF them, put it on another PERSONS COW, an
/ thcn turned them out again After this Ii
mad never seen his heifer, and he strongly sll.
u lccted she had been foully dealt with sayin
? That for aught he knew she had been killed. an
. her hide very likely was in some tan yard. II
commended that his COWS had right to run Ih
/ roads, and that the descendent OF man VIII
>, hId followed Washington for five or six years
y and participated in several severe battles shout
oe encouraged and respected, instead of bein
: imposed ON and prosecuted. He grew quit
y eloquent in regard to the right of permitting
. cattle to run the road, the rights Of the poor
! &c, and concluded with the remark that al
= though ne might be worth some $4,000, h
mad worked hard for it. He then launched
into history OF his family naming the time hi
iather enlisted, his virtues, his contracting al
appetite for drink, his rearing SIX sons, al
democrats, who on more than one occasion
walked up in body at Elkton, and cast thei
votes Tor the candidates OF that party. !
similar case he thought could scarcely b.
found, and remarked that he was still demo
, crat and expected to live and die in the faith
Measures appeared to be nothing to him, tn
name everything, proving clearly that question
OF public policy are not decided on their owl
!. merits but on fidelity to party that can onl
y DC attributed to blind fatuity which lead me
y 10 violate all their professions, for the sake
u victory, from which man come to the gre;
mass OF the community nothing but evil.

c IS among the list Of farmers who threshed the
/ wheat out of the field, believing it best, in ii
i long run, to get 1t into the market early, eve
: at few cents less per bushel than il migl
/, command in the winter or spring. In the n
0 cond or third week OF July he started a CT
load of his crop from Middletown or vicinit,
and in two days afterwards he started secon
} car and strange as il may seem it arrived
Fhlladelphia two days before the former, an
the wheat commanded five cents more ne
bushel. Such delay on the part OF the Raj
! road company is inexcusable, and we are no
surprised that it produces complaint on Ii
part Of those who suffer from it. We Iii
derstand that MaiorJ. estimates his loss at ST
which is rather heavy sum to pay for ii
negligence Of those who receive fair price 70
ther services. The company should be prom
as railroads are only valuable on account
their expedition.
