In the midst of that terrible reign of seces-
sion, VIXEN loyal men, were arrested and incar-
cerated forraising the American Flag, there
was one among the lagal fraternity who had
the temerity to defend those loyal men, and in
the face of the rebellious authorities and in de-
fiance of the mob, demanding a3writ of habeds
corpus and secured their release. This gentle-
man has been endorsed by the people by elect
ing him to the Office Of Prosecuting Attorney.

him to national position. We refer to John

dINeW Road Needed.

! We have frequently heard citizens of Hooks
town and that vicinity speak Of the waut Of a
more direct and better road from there to Tow
sontown. As it is now, they are compelled to
go either by way Of Woodberry or Pikesyille,
both of which are rough, billy and crooked
roads. and at least three miles farther thaIs'fe
distance would be in directline fla county
road were opened from the vicinity ofthe second
Toll gate on the Hookstown Road direct to Mt.
Washington, it would prove a great accommo-
dation to a large number of people in that sec
ton Of the county. We are told this. could be
done with little grading and at a moderate cost.
From Mt. Washington to Towsontown there will
be good and direct route as soon as the new
county road is opened from here to the Charles
St. Avenue. This will probably be done in a
little over month, q. The County buildings be-
ing permanently located at Towsontown, every
thing possible should be done to facilitate access
thereto from all parts Of the county. f -,
A great many persons from that section are
constantly passing to and fro, attending. Court
and transacting other public business at this
place, and for their accommodation we hope'~an
effort will be made to open more direct route.
