BETTING ON ELEcTIoNs.-As we are now passing
through the season when the temptation to "back
"their opinions" of favorite candidates "by
wager is very strong with some individuals it
may be well to remind them that such practice
Is directly contrary to law, as will be by the
following provisions from the Code:
Article 80, section 46.-No person shall make
any bet or wager on the result of any election to
take place in this State.
Sec. E.-Any person offending against the last
preceding section shall be liable to indictment in
the Circuit Courts if the offence be committed in
any county, or in the Criminal Court of Baltimore
ii the offence be committed in Baltimore; and on
conviction shall be fined not less than fifty nor
more than five hundred dollars, to be paid to the
State for the use of the school fund.
Sec. 48.-Every deposit of any money in any
part OF the State as wager, or bet upon elections
IN TINS State or elsewhere, shall be forfeited and
paid over to the County Commissioners of the
county where deposited for the use of the county,
Council
CHILDEEN's AID SocIErY-We again call the
attention of benevolent and humane citizens to
this noble enterprise No efforts at the reform of
individuals are so reasonable and hopeful as such
as aim to prevent the formation of bad habits
among those of tender age. To collect from the
lanes and alleys the materials from which the ranks
|
recruts-and to provide for them comfortable and
industrious homes far removed from former vile
associations is the object of the society which again
meets tonight. Can such an appeal be made in
vain?

surance Company has appointed Capt. Francis W.
Wilson its surveyor. This gentleman is very
