BALTIMORE COUNTY IrEMs.-We copy from the
Towsontown Adoocote the following;
Church and Store RobJed.-0n Tuesday night the
I'd inst, the neighborhood of Franklinville Ulth
Disrict,) was made the of robbery and sacri-
lege of a most daring character Salem Church,
near that place, entered by wrenching off the
door, the Sunday school books stolen or burnt and
whatever other property worth the trouble,
was carried off Some leaves were then brought
into the church, and jug of gunpowder left upon
the stove, but whether a fire was kindled or not we
did not learn.
The store at the Franklinville Factory in the oc-
cupancy of Mr.. A. H. Greenfield was also entered
the same night, in the same manner, and robbed OF
a considerable amount of gOoda, all the change to
gether with the letters and money belonging to
the Upper Falls post office. There were but few
letters left.
The County Lecy.-The law levying an additional
tax of four cents the 500 of the assessable pro-
perty OF Baltimore county, has passed, and the
County Commissioners have added it to their re-
cent levy, making the County and School Tax the
same as last year, forty two cents on the Sl00-
thirty cents County Tax. and twelve cents School
Tax. This additional levy is for the purpose OF
raising funds to build school houses in the county;
for the division of the county into districts and for
the erection of school houses therein where none
exists and to the purchase of houses suitably loca
ted, or for renting or leasing houses.
Accident-Loss Of Lite.-On the morning of the
8th inst, accident occurred at the orebank OF u
NJ. Brian, Esq, in the 18th district, whereby two
men, Thomas Koin and John Fitz Charles, lost their
lives. 1t appears that the bank caved in, and being
unable to extrcate themselves, they were instantly
killed. Justice Townsend held inquest over the
bodies when the jury rendered verdict in accor-
dance with the above facts.
Fire and Loss Of LJc.-On Tuesday last, the
dwelling house Of Patrick Donnely near the Phil
adephia turnpike, about five miles from Baltimore,
caught fire, and together with its contents, wa
entirely consumed. Horrible to relate, Mr.. Don
nellv's mother, old woman, and the only person
in the house at the time perished in the flames and
only some charred remains of the body were found
Nothing is known of the origin of the fire.
Soid-The property belonging to Mrs. Talbot
and Thomas T. Nelson, ESD, sold ON the 9th
ut., as follows:

powered by law but the law forbid magistrates from
doing so. Thought Mcgee knew this, and that the
parties who went to him did no he should have
told them to go to the Court where he should have
sent the case Ii magistrates allowed to depart
from law in small matters, they will go far that
there will be no stopping their enormities and it is
the duty of the Court to interfere and pat stop to
their practice.
Thought the jury had sufficient evidence to con-
Wet Mcgee under the indictment in this case, and
would therefore overrue the motion for new trial
and would punish the traverser by fine mprison-
ment and forfeiture of Office.

AN OLD PULPiT.-An Albany, \. Y, correspon-
dent of the Erening Post gives the following
of an old pulpit in that city:
Every visitor to Albany should take look at the
"Old Pulpit" which was built in Holland in 1856
over two centuries ago For many years it was
slowed away among rubbish, in the steeple of one OF
the Albany Dutch churches, and where first saw
it. 1t began to disappear by piecemea curiosity
finders helping themselves to bits of the remarkable
article; but now repaired, it has been wisely and
safely placed in the library y-room of the church.
In 1880, kilian Van Rensselaer, purchased of the
torty-eight broad, containing 100000 acres,
lying now in Albany, Rensselaer,, Columbia and
other counties. Here he founded the colony OF
which he was the head or PATRON. The Rev Jo-
hannes Megapolensis, from Holland, was the first
domino of the colony; his salary for six wears was
fixed at IL, 900 guiders, $40, twenty-five and
a half bushels of wheat, and two tirkins of but
ter, for the first three years. If his services
were satisfactory to the PATRON, he was TO
be paid 200 guilders more, or $50, for each
of the succeeding years. On his arrival in 1912,
the first church in Albany was built, plain
wooden editice, thirty-four feet long, nineteen wide,
with nine benches for the people. Thirteen years
afterwards the second church was built DIR. Mega

OUTRAGE THE ALTON, ILLINOIS, PESrrENTIARY.-
We find in the st. Louis Leader of the 10th inst,
the following singular account of occurrence in
the Alton Penitentiary, which think borders too
much on the marvellous to be true:
An arrival from Alton brings intelligence of
strange and most daring atrocity in the Penitenta
ry there ending in the death of turnkey and that
of one of the prisoners his murderer.
On Monday, Hall, convict for a term OF seven
years. struck with slung shot the keeper, Crabbe,
as he was in the act of locking him into his cell,
and felled him then dragged him into the cell and
lifted dirk over the disabled man, and when (the
alarm being given other officers came to rescue
Crabbe he threatened instantly to say him, if they
entered All this passed through an opening in the
cell door. He commanded them to 90 to the Cover
nor at Springfield, and procure him a pardon, and
then to set him at liberty, with loaded revolver,
a hundred dollars in gold and carriage, or he
would murder Crabbe before their eyes. III IS
things continued all day Monday, they atte~, ptng
in vain to intimidate to allure him to let 90
Crabbe. They fired at him, but he avoided their
aim, or placed Crabbe before him a shield At
last a pardon was procured; but meantime the
townspeople had become incensed and threatened
vengeance so that the villain refused to accept it,
Last evening, all other means having failed the
warden Mr.. Buckmeister, had the door broken in
but the officers entered the cell the detestable
criminal plunged his dirk into Crabbe's heart, and
was, a moment after, rddled with balls by the en-
| ragged company.
