In Health Prepare for Dea tn.

GS-O Our text does not'of necessity bind US to
n homly on morality nor do we intend to in-
dulge in ono. The preparation, the Importance
of which we desire to impress upon the reader,
is of n pccuniary nature. We all live and labor
for those VIC love aud sooner or later must leave,
but have not all been able to make proper pro-
vision in their behalf against want. How, now,
can this misfortune be remedied? We answer,
BY securing policy OF insurance on your I'VE in
some such prompt, reliable, and successful com.
psnics rs the New York or Connecticut Mutual,
for which Mr. Thos. Taggart of this place is the
Agent. These Companies are on the Mutual
plan and divide their profits among the insured,
instead Of the 'lion's share going TO the Stock
holders as is the case in all stock compsnics.-
Take our advice and secure a policy without de-
lay, but if you would not lie bamboozed and
bit also take our advice and stear clear of all
stock concerns. .. .......

washington County Court.

- State vs Mary Helman. Indicted for receir-
ing goods knowing them to be stolen. This was
another of those cases known as the IIarristown
cases. In the progress of this case the question
arose, whether the fact that other goods (besides
those for which the prisoner was on trial) would
be proved to have been stolen and found in the
prisoners possession, This question was under
discussion for some fine and the court finally
decided that the stealing and receiving of goods
subsequent to the stealing and receiving of the
goods for which prisoner is now on trial could
not be given in evidence. The counsel for tue
State tiion said that they had not, under the rul
ing of the court, sufficient evidence to support
the charge and would therefore withdraw their
case. For the State Darby and Syester, for the
prisoner Hamilton and Motter.
All the other Harristown cases were then stet-
ted by the State. This ended the State business
for this court. ''''~ - -n. Pol. t."..t.
The civil docket was again taken up.
Aaron Lodge No. % Independent Order OF
Odd Fellows VS.. John II. Martin. Ii appeared
from the evidence in this cause that this lodge
had a store room under their lodge room which
they had rented to Martin for one year, Martin
occupied it a month or two, and then rented il
to Slr. Munse! and got employment ON the Balti-
more & Ohio Rail Road. In March 1865 before
Martins year was up, the Lodge got out an at
tachment against Martin for three quarters rent,
and seized some furniture in Williamsport which
they alleged belonged to Martin. The attach
nient was dissolved by Martin giving bond and
the goods returned. The counsel for Martin con-
Il has .
the year, and at the time the suit was instituted
thore WAS no cause Of action. The counsel for
the lodge on the other hand coatendsd that the
rent should be paid quarterly and in March 1865
when the suit was instituted three quarters were
due. There was nothing said when the room,
was rented when or how the rent was TO be paid

Better of without Us.

"Thcrc has been for many years a feelinpe
held more strongly in New England than else
where that the country woull be better Off with,
ont the South than with il. Southern
vo:Oa will always be against a high protective
tariff sad Other measures which New England
sesn essential to the public good"
Ths above extract, which we take from the
Now York Times last Monday, confirms %
sngulaely a statement recently made to us Of A
remark made in conrersation by Butler, that we
venture to place it for tho first time in print.
A conservative citizen Of Massachusetts, and
an acquaintance Of Butler remarked to him few
days since in a conversation Oh the poltic, sit
nation, that lie considered there were but threo
positions which any thinking man could sug-
Gcst as alternative propositions respecting re-
construction.
!. That the Southern States be at once nd
mittcd on footing of perfect constitutional! equal
itr.
2. That they be permanently governed as con-
Qucrtd provinces.
3. That they be allowed to leave the Union.
i'uier replied that he agreed entirely In this
view of the case, and was perfectly clear that tn,
last alternative was preferable to the first.
We do not doubt that with the South ont O
the Union, New Eagand.could continue for {
r'neration to come to rule the country fnsn.

A DIVISION OF MARYLAND.-The Radi-
cal papers of Allegany and FredeIck
Counties, Marylsnd, are advocating the
project Of creating new State out Of Frank
Thomas's District. or of joining the same
to West Virginia, so as to escape the reb-
el dominion of the balance of the State.
We decidedly object to this scheme, par
ticularly to Carroll County being carried
along in their secession. We hope it will
not be harder for them to endare the rule

than it is for the Secessienists down South
to endure Radical rule. Sorry they feel

Registers Indicted.

FBThe Herald states that four or FIVE
OF the Registrars of this County have been
Indicted, This is not surprising con.id-
ering the intense partisan charac ter ofthe
Grand Jury, and if SO, only affords strong
proof of the suspicion that tho Jury was
summoned with this particular objact in
view. Only the year before Radical Reg
listers in an adjacent district, registered a
party notoriously known to have been in
the Rebel army and therefore disfranchis-
ed. One of the Registers upon being re-
monstrated with By ons of his party more
conscientious than himself, justified hi,
act by the plea: "Why, he votes with
u.s." This Ralisal Grand Jury could
not, however, find time to investigate this
case. nor yet tho morei atrocious one Of
murder committed by Radical mob on
the Goth of October last. These political
prosecutions, instituted in the interest oI
party and not of public good, may cost the
county pretty penny ifpersisted in bui

their professions to the test in the us
Senate, by offering an amendment to the
Negro Suffrage bill proposition to make
suffrage really and truly unirersal by ex-
tending the right to fcnalcs. This was
of course voted down by the Radicals as
it was not universal suffrage they wanted
but negro suffrage. The intelligent females
of our country were deemel by this par ty
as unfit to exercise right which they

Xyaahinrton County Rail road

Ty' In the address of John w. Garrett
tS the board of Directors of the Balfimora
and Ohio Rail Road we find the following
in regard to the Washington County rail-
road. in which the people of:'thisi County
and particularly ofthis place are deeply in-'
terested. It viii be seen that IL is the pur-
pose of thescompany 10 lave the roadiin
running order by September next. ,.,
Much work has been done upon the Wash'n
Goanty Railroad, leading from the main
stem at Weverton to ;IIagerstowna distace-
of 23 miles The entire line was placed
under contract, to be completed within II
months. The contractors represented that
portion vi tho work has proyedi much,
heavier than anticipated but, in the more
difficult sections very large forces are en-
ploycd, and upon. the most difficult position
of the line work 10, being pressed with
great energy-right forces being at ti,ucs
also employed. This company has thus
far contributed to the paymentfor the work
pom that road $50, eco. / am gratiGcd
to state, upon information received from
the officers. of that company, that they
coflcntly expect that tha road will be
opened prior TO the dedication of the
National Gemctry at Antiotam, on the
18th September next. Asthis road passes
through that classic ba tle-ground, it is
anticipated that its large facilities in con-
nections with Baltimore and Ohio road,
will enable the great concourse expected
on that interesting occasion to reach the
cemetry with convenience and comfort. Up
on the completion II this most desirable and
important road, Washington county will
have not only the benefit Of transportation
by the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and as
at present route through the Cumberland
Valley railroad, and by the Northern Cen
trail and Pennsylvania Ceatraf railroad to
Baltimore and Philadelphia, but also eco
nomical transportation by this excellent
and direct line over the double-tracked
Baltimore and Ohio road to Baltimore
The agricultural and manufacturing devcl-
opmcnts ami general prosperity Of that
country cannot fail to be largely increased
by the opening Of this important route.

DIVISION or TnR VIRGINIA DEBT.-It is
estimated that il one-fourth Of the total
debt of the State of Virginia be assumed
by West Virginia as its just proportion,
the debt Of Virginia will be thirty million
dollars. The Richmond papers are in favor
of ascertanig what actual perc entage ofthe
total dobt must be assum ID by West Vir-
ginia before provision is made for any Of
it by Virginia proper. They calculate that
West Virginia would have to pay thirty
per cent, and that the old Slate would be
indebted for seventy per cent, and advise
that holders of the State bonds be dealt
with upon this assumption. Virginia con-
sidering herself indebted only for seventy
per cent. of the fs,s of ea,A bonl, leaving
creditors to West Virginia for the balance.
This, it is thought, would concentrate the
pressure of public opinion and tho clamors
of creditors upon West Virginia, and make
a regulating policy almost impossible, j
such is contemplated there, as many
believe. ....
