Murder Will Out-A Mystery Cleared Up.

Over thirty years ago there was considerable
excitement IN Cecil county, Nd, on account of
Ine sudden disappearance of a widow lady,
named Patty Polk, who resided about four miles
from Elkton. She was last seen going into a
thicket near her house where t. NO men mad lust
passed. All search for her was frultless. After
reasonable time had elapsed, letters of admin
istration on her effects were issued, and in set
tling up the estate, the administrators was unable
to find noJe dra wn by one of the men who had
been seen to go into the thiCket. The note was
known to have been in her possession short
time before her disappearance. This aroused
the suspicious of some of the people, and the
two men were arrested; but nothing could be
proved against them, and they were discharged.
A number OF years ago one OF the suspected
parties died, and last week 1t is reported that
the other, being very i'll, sent for a minister, to
whom he made free confession. According to
popular rumor, the confession was to the effect
that ne, with the other party, sent to Mrs. Polk

would pay the money on the notes, and they
tnen tailed to meet her. That they saw her on
her way home, and knowing that she would
pass through the thicket, they went into it and

sOn-His Reasons for Taking this Step.
WASHINGTON, July l2.-It Is now positively
ascertained that Postmaster-General Denison
yesterday rendered the resignation of his office
to the President This was done in writing.
The reason for this course, as stated by Mr..
Denison himself is a difference of political
views. 1t will be recollected that he was the
President of the Union Republican Convention
which renominated Mr.. Lincoln for the Presi-
dency at Baltimore, never intendin otherwise
than TO adhere to the party whose principles it
represented; and as the call for the Philadelpha ia
Convention is IN antagonism to that organiza-
ton, there was no other course left to him tnan
10 retire from the Cabinet. While his personal
relations with the President are undisturbed
and friendly, the separation is entirely because
OF a conflict OF political views"

ABOUT "EcoNoMY. When the Coun
ty Board orders publications in our pa
per, and we send in our account, sworn
to, according to the rates fixed by law,
what right have they to cut down the bill
one-half? 1t is small way to begin the
work of economy, by cutting down the
lawful and just wages of men who have
performed work by their order, and who
have to take scrip for what they are a.
lowed, and sell that at discount. When
the Board orders an election for the pur.
pose of voting debt of S200,000 upon
the County. and then cuts down the prin.
ter's wages one-hslf for publishing said
order. it looks too much like saving q,
the spigot and losing at the bung- hole.
Gentlemen. you have no authority to do
it. The amount is small, but it is our
right. You might as well employ man,
at stipulated price. to work on your
premises, and after the labor was faith.
fully performed, repudiate one-half the
amount. We have not heard that thu
Board vote themselves one penny less
for their services, than the sum 6xed by
law. When they economise by cutting
down their own wages. they can more
consistently reduce the bills of others.
