nixed by the citizens generally. Other
matters for future consideration will be
brought before you for your action, among
which will probably be the building of a

cannot close this paper without few
general remarks upon the present aspect OF
affairs as deduced from surrounding circum
stances. That there is an earnest desire
upon the part of most Of the citizens, to
sustain the Corporation in liberal and gen.
croaS manner, think none will doubt
That seconded by the citizens in such q
spirit, the Corporation will be nude a sue
cess, | think is certain. To do this there
must be cooperation to carry out the sug.
gested Improvements, the citizens will
make proper and cheerful efforts to furnish
the money to pay for the same, by prompt
" responding to the Collector of Taxes
when their bills are presented to them -
That a spirit OF energy and determination TO
place the City in its proper position may be
resolved by the Board and endorsed byevery
citizen whose pride is enlisted for the in.
terests Of the Corporation, most deyou1s
hope.
That the prosperity Of the City may be
augmented, its influence extended, and by
It's character may be invited genius, wealth,

THgCIRCUlT CoURT.-In last week $
paper we Published synopsis of the
evidence taken in the case of the State
rs. Henry Bell charged with shooting
with intent to kill John I, Loycall, one
Of the four persons wounded by him on
the 10th Of October last. in the bar
room Of Sheets's hotel, Westminster
The case was submitted to the jury on
Wednesday of last week, but the YER
dict was not rendered in time to be no.
ticed in but small part of our last
weeks issue. There were five distinct
counts in the indictment but the Court,
on application of defendants Counsel,
compelled the States Attorney to aban.
don three OF them aud rely on the first
two, which were in effect assault with
intent to kill or murder, and assault
without the intent to murder. The
jury, after short absence, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty on beth counts.
On Thursday morning the States At
torney took the necessary steps to re.
move the other three cases against him
for shooting William Lafferty, Geo
W. Stewart, and Isaac Green, Jr-and
they were accordingly ordered to be re-
moved to Baltimore County, aud the
numerous witnesses FOR the State were
recognized to appear at Towsontown on
the fourth Monday Of August next.
These cases are but the sequel to the
SHAW case" aud consequently have
given rise to much political feeling and
prejudice, pro and con, in this County.
As matter Of course it would be very
difficult to obtain in this County an
nnPreJadleed jury, or one whose verdict
would give general satisfaction. As the
whole matter will have to undergo again
a thorough examination in another tri-
bunal We abstain from any further COM

A painful affection has for many

The E.atcst FnshIons,

Since the invention and successful
introduction Of the Celebrated Duplex
Elliptic Cor doublc) Spring Skirt, BY j.
W. Bradley, of New foik, the ladies
throughout the country have given up
the idea of discarding the fashion of
wearing hoop skirts on account Of the
peculiar and graceful manner in which
the Duplex Skirts adapt themselves TO
every exigency and emergency So
generally acceptable have these Skirts
become that the ladies regard them as
special favorite, 10 view of the super
Tor hexibility, hghtness and durability
combined in their Manufacture. They
also consider I ON far more economi-
cal and Comfortable Hoop Skirt than
ever has or can be made for Crowded
Assemblies, for the Promenade, or
House Dress. Any lady after wearing
one Of these Skirts, will never after
wards willingly dispense with their use.
Long experience in the manufacture oil
Hoop skirts, has proven to the propri
etors Of this invention that Single
Springs will always retain that std, un.
yielding and bungling style which has
ever characterized them, whereas the
Double Spring Hoop Of tho Duplex
Elliptic, will BIO found free from these
objections. Notwithstanding the abili.
ty oithe manufacturers, Messrs. Vests
