We have received from DR.. ]. H. Frantz Asst.
Surg. q. S. A, a circular in reference to the
above object. It states that nearly 1000 soldiers
have been buried hin various cemeteries around
the Fortress since the opening of the war. Scat
tered about as they are, the time may come
when their graves may be leveled by the plough
aud all trace of their resting places may be lost
Hence an effort is being made to collect. the bo-
dies into single cemetery and erect a monu-
mentoyer them which will permanently COM
memorate the service of these fallen heroes, and
preserve their remains from the vandalism Of
time. The patients and attendants at the Hos
pitfalls around the Fortress have already contrib
uted over 800, for this noble purpose, and an
appeal is now made to the public to aid them in
carrying on the work Many appeals are being
made to the public charity, yet we know of none
more sacred, none that has stronger claims on
patriotic liberality, then that of properly caring
for the remains OF those who fell in their coun-
try's defence. a4.a eaat 5, "a

The WEATHER. week was in some re-
spects the most unpleasant Of the season. The
Sun was hot and scorching, the air, dry and life
less, the roads dusty, the fields patching, vege-
taten whitening, flowers burning up. On Sun
day last, the Thermometer stood at 90, about AS
high as it has been all Summer. Paper collars
melted and starched shirts grew languid.--
Church people bowed their heads and slept, and
the Amen corner couldn't raise a response. -
The Preacher toiled manfully, but the wings Of his
spirit dropped and sinners listened with indif-
ference or moved uneasily in their sweltering
seats. The day was too sultrY for any physical
exertion beyond that of breathing, and peace and
quiet reigned rupreme in Towsontown. There
wasn't even an ice cart to modify the heat, and
when, toward evening. a little cloud gathered
over head and dropped small portion of its
treasure on the thirsty earth, a universal muir
muir of relief burst forth from the animate ere

RoBBERIEs IN THE CoUNTY.-Attempts at bur-
glary continue to be made in the city and its VII
cinity, though no one in the county seems to
have suffered very severely. On Thursday night
of last week, the dwelling Of Mr.. Jno. Denning
at Govanstown, was entered bysome person or
persons, by cutting the Stats out of shutter and
taking out some of the glass fThe noise was
heard by Mrs Denning, who hoisted a window
above, when the robbers left, taking with them
two coats of considerable value. Mr. ,Denning
is a man of wealth, and the villains probably ex-
pected TO make good haul, l-'- =
On Friday following, in day time, two men
entered the dwelling Of Mr. Charles R. Taylor on
the York Road, and asked to see him. Mr. T.
was in the garden at the time, and his daughter
went out to call him. Before he came in how
ever, the men left, taking with them silver bas-
ket and other articles from the table. NAV
We would advise every body carefully to Sc
cure their dwellings at night, and TO be con-
stantly on the alert for such visitors. A little
powder and shot would do some of them good.

SECOND CROP .--It may seem marxal TO our
Pennsylvania readers, but it is nevertheless true,
that there are portions of this county where two
good crops of corn are raised on the same ground
in the same season. For week past we have
been eating the finest kind of roasting ears
the second crop raised on the same ground by
Mr. Thos j Hill of the 18th District. The ears
are of good size, some being as much as eight
and ten inches in length, Mell-filled with good,
plump grain. If 'Jack FROST keeps away for a
while yet, the second crop will yield a very good
return. This is an item to be noted by those
who talk of buying farm lands in Baltimore

the theft was discovered Mr.. Isaac started in pur-
suit in the direction of the Potomac river, while
a friend Of his went toward Westminster. At
Ellicotts Mills Mr. Isaac had humber Of hand
bills issued, and took every measure for vgo-
rous pursuit of the stolen property. '-i 7iHi p
The Sunday Telegram of the Sd inst. contained
a notice Of the arrest Of two men, on Saturday
morning by the police Of Balto5 city, on 'suspi-

session two mares, whose description answered
to that of those stolen from Mr. Isaac. This
item coming to his notice Mr.. Isaac went to the
city, Unidentified his horses and took them home.
The thieves brought the horses to the yard OF
Mr.. Hobbs in Front ST. early on Sat. morning,
and offered them for sale, asking $3.50 for each.
Mr.. Hobbs declined buying them, and they final
