Having re-lnsured and cancelled nearly all the
extra and special risks previously held by the Com
pany, and confnlng our business strictly to first
class risks, we think We offer as safe insurance as
any company represented in the West. During
the past four years have paid the very large sum
s3i 900 in losscs and hope to avoid heavy losses
in future by declining all specially hazardous

To the People of Cecil County.

The Union Central Committee of Maryland in n recent
Address to the People of the State invited their Union
loving 1tow-ctizens to cooperate with them in raising
testimonial fund for the and benefit Of Ex-Governor
THOMAS HOLIDAY HICKS.
Acting on this invitation, certain citizens of Cecil
county assembled ut the ofce Of the County Commits
sioners in Ekton, Tuesday, the 11h of February and
appointed ffty-four colectorssx from each Election
Distrct-o solicit, from the people of their respective
neighborhoods contributions to the said fund, and for
the purpose Of enlisng every Unonloving citizen in
the benign work. The small sum Of dollar was
recommended the donation from each contributor.
At the same meeting, the undersigned appointed
to make known to tile eepe of Cecil county the
which actuated the orgnators Of the plan for raising the
testimonial fund And in the discharge Of that duty,
hazard nothing in declaring that the people of Maryland
owe to Ex-Governor Hicks special debt of gratitude
If disposed to estimate the vlup Of his services because
of their financial advantage to the State might find
sufficient justification for the projected But
confined to such consideration: for when we
reflect that his energy has guarded homes against
the horrors of civil that his rnness has cecually
checked transfer Of hos tes from the Potomac the
Susquchanna; that his discretion has wardcd of from
" sol the footprints of carnage and wo, which
everywhere visible in Virginia, but nowhere to be
seen in Maryland we are iressbly led to the concln
sion that his claims upon the people of Maryland far
transcend claims Of an ordinary character.
But there are those who may argue, that nasmtch
the services Of Ex-Governor Hicks the State Of Mary
land of the highest order, and of value than
silver gold, why engage In this pccuniary testimonial,
The Is ready: Ex-Governor Hicks. in his devotion
to the public has been unminfu Of his private interests
and his feowctzens sincerely grateful for his services
claim the privilege of contributing to fund designed t.
for him and comfort for tho Under Of his
days earth. The solicited from each contrib
utor is unquestionaby insignificant; but when all the
contributions gathered In from the different sections
of tho State It hoped the proportions of the fund will
be ample to demonstrate that STATES not always
ungrateful for the public services Of their public
TO the people Of Cecil who are ever proud of their
say contribute cordially to the fund for the and
benefit Of Ex-Governor Hicks

Correspondence of This Cecil Wing
LETTER FROM RISING sun,
RISING SrN. Feb. 18th.


Mr.. EDITOR Il am a constant reader of
The Wing, and in looking over last week s
issue find the proceedings of the Circuit
and Orphans Courts reported, but no pro-
ceedings of the County Commissioners,
except notice of the Constnblcs who have
bonded. How is this? The proceedings of
the County Commissioners are of more
general interest than those of the other two
courts. In fact the people are deeply
interested in every act of the Commissioners;
having the bills to foot they have natural
desire to know who gets their money and
for what it is expended. Some years back
we used to get very full reports through the
columns of The Whig, Of every meeting of
the County Commissioners, and there was no
local feature about the paper, which had
more interest for the public than those
reports. Can you not give us the proceed
ings of the Commissioners at their several
meetings, so that we may know how the
money goes? A TAX PAYER.
In answer to " A Tax Payer" we would
say that the fault-if falt it may be termed
that the proceedings of every meeting of
the Board are not published in full does not
rest with us. We have requested permits
sion to take a transcript of the minutes of
every meeting, for publication, but our
request has always been denied. On what
grounds we never could clearly understand,
unless it be that the people have no right
to know what their servants are about.
Even our Commissioners have been in the
habit, for sometime past, of falling short of
what the law expressly orders them to do in
this respect, which is to specify in their
Annual Reports, the items for which tax
has been levied and paid, and the name of
the person receiving the same.
In lieu of this the public have kind of
synoptical lump job, from which very little
definite information can be gathered. "A
Tax Payer" is not the first to make inquiry
on this point, and we answer that we don't
know why the proceedings of their meetings
are so Theoretically sealed from the public
by the Commissioners. We are ready to
publish full proceedings of every meeting
free of all chargd to the county, permitted
to do so,

BENEDICT r, RoLIN, who was con-

BENEDICT IL. hOLIN, who was con-
victed at the last term of Conrt for larceny
of money from Alexander jackson, at Prin-
cipio Furnace, was sentenced by Judge
Price to four years imprisonment in the
penitentiary.
He was convicted by his comradc, Am
rose Wilson, turning States evidence
Wilson conducted f. Wesley Janney, Deputy
Sheriff, to where the rogaes had secreted
the money under the root of a tree, near
Prncipio Furnace. The store was entered
by a false key, and the money stolen while
Mr.. jackson was at dinner. The amount
taken was $500, which was all recovered
and Rolin convicted by the testimony of his
accomplice, who was released.
On Saturday morning, after the prisoner
received his sentence, he was removed back
to Jail by Sheriff Cosgroyc, who was led to
believe that an effort was being made by the
prisoner to escape. Search being instituted
saws and files, such as used by burglars,
were found, and on examining the premises
it was discovered that the bolt Of the door
of the room in which the prisoner was con-
fined was cut almost off, the fine crevice
being filed in with candle grease or soap
and some of the filings placed On the surface
to conceal it.
Another attempt was made by the pris-
soner to escape through the Jail wall from
the yard of the building, which proved very
nearly successful he having worked hole
into the wall, by using sharp stick, and by
the rogue's expertncss in the use of even
this simple tool, came very near escaping.
A guard was placed over him during the
night, and on Monday morning he was taken
to Baltimore and lodged in the penitentiary.
The rogues were graduates of the New
York or Philadelphia thief seminaries and
the tools used to cut the irons were saws and
files manufactured for the purpose, and
furnished, it was supposed, by woman,
represented to be the wife of Wilson, who
was released for turning States evidence.
The woman visited the Jail II few days before
the trial.

A BLACKGUARD PRoCEssIoN.-On
Tuesday night last our citizens were aroused
out Of their midnight slumbers by the most
terrible medley of sounds, emanating from
horns, bells, drums, ETC., carried by a
'ondescript crowd who paraded the principal
streets of the town, wearing pasteboard
yisors and bearing torches. The procession
was called out, we believe, by pair of
lovers, short distance from town, dedica-
ting their lives to Hymen; the hdeous
spectacle being intended as an ovation in
honor Of the happy event. From all such
heather orgies good Lord deliver us in
future.

accident in order that the glorious old flag

recent glorious victories, and also, of the
