TAKE NOTICE
no THE PUBLIC.

With this paper the undersigned begin the
Publication of a weekly journal resulting from
the union of the Baltimore County AdrOcate and
the Baltimore County American. During the
past year the two papers have yielded their uni
ted support TO the Cause of Emancipation, the
adoption of the new Constitution, the success Of
the national Administration and the vigorous
prosecution of the war against the rebellion
Thus far they have labored tremendously. But
it has long been evident that two Union papers
could not exist here without tending to keep up
divisions in the party, and giving undue promi-
nence to questions Of mere personal interest. 1t
was with the earnest desire to harmonize all diff
ferences of opinion in the Union party and to
aid in presenting an unbroken front TO the enc
mics of progress and of free Democratic govern
ment, that the undersigned determined 10 secure
the two papers and unite them into one
But this was not the only motive that prompt
ed the union. Baltimore county is the largest,
most populous and most wealthy county in the
State. Its agricultural, manufacturing and min
eral resources are unbounded. They can be APP
preciated only by being seen. And it is due to
the position of Baltimore county that it have
first class paper, pledged to the support of its
highest interests materially as well as politically,
intellectually and morally. 1t is such paper
that we hope to PUBLISH paper worthy of the
county in which we live.
Owing to the impossibiity of making the ne
cessary arrangements in time, we are compelled
to publish this weeks paper ofthesize ofthe AdUo-
cate Next week however, we hope greet OUR read
ers with paper considerably enlarged and i'm
proved. The price of subscription will hereafter
be Two Dollars year, payable in advance. No
one who takes any pride in having good county
paper, will object to the price. 1t is much less
than the great advance in all kinds of printing
material demands. To those who have paid for
either of the old papers in advance, the Union
will be sent for a corresponding time. To those
who have paid for both the old papers it win be
sent for such time as will be just and equitable.
BY uniting the two papers the Union has the
largest circulation of any county paper in the
State--an item of Importance to advertisers.
Our Office is furnished with one of Hoes best
cylinder presses as well as with fine Job Press
and all the necessary material for doing work in
our line We confidently ask of the Public
that liberal patronage which our facilities and at
tention to business may deserve.

have also increased their subscription price
ing to the high rates Of paper, and every other

fault. 4,-a

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

The Baltimore papers of Monday, contained an
account of the following singular affair:
The Fortress Monroe steamer Of Friday morn
ing brought to the city a woman dressed in black
who together with her trunk, was conveyed to
boarding house on Watson ST., by hackman
named John Stark. She engaged the hackman
to take her to the Northern Central Railway sta
ton in the evening. On leaving she paid her
board hill and also paid the hackman at the sta
ton. She then asked the man to take charge of
her trunk for moment while she stepped across
the street to make some purchases. The man
waited several hours, but as the woman failed to
return, he took the trunk home with him. On
Saturday evening Mr.. Stark's wife imagined she
noticed an unpleasant smell coming from the
trunk, and on examination, it was found to con-
tain the dead body Of u man. The corpse was
taken to the station-house and a Coroner's in
quest held which returned verdict Of "death
from causes unknown"
The whole affair was shrouded in mystery un-
til Sunday evening, when the woman who had
charge Of the trunk gave herself up to the Police
and made the following statement Her name
is Mary L. Under, she lives in Norfolk and is
a woman oflewd habits The man in the trunk
was member Of the Goth N. York cavalry,
named Freeborn Some time ago he came to her
house, and having overstayed his time was afraid
TO return to his regiment for fear of being shot
as deserter. He proposed to escape by being
put into the trunk and going North as baggage,
saying that he had done the slme thing before
Previous to entering the trunk he bored small
hole through it with pen-krife to admit air
Miss Under spoke TO him On board the boat,
about midnight when he replied that she was all
right" When she opened he trunk at her
boarding hSuse on Watson st, she was almost
paralyzed to find the man ded. In her terror
aha adonted the plan at Calys,t Station to pet
rid of the body. Being unable however, to keep
the awful secret any longer, she gave herself up
and revealed ALL The woman was handed over
to the military authorities, AMI with the dead
man was sent to Norfolk, to hare the affair furth-
err investigated. There seems title doubt that
the man was smothered to dealt in his attempt
to escape from the army
