MURDER FOUND OUT.-A man by the name
oSander, has been indicred in Morgan county
West Va, for the murder of one Lloyd in 1863.
happears Sauder, in connection with another
person, pursuaded Lloyd to go hunting, they
AaOBing that he always had about him large
9n of money. In the woods they shot him.
Sauder was afterwards arrested in Hagers-
@Wn and Loyd's knife found on him, but no
9ne could swear Lloyd was dead; all that could
SAID he was missing, consequently Sauder
Was discharged. A few weeks since a citizen
ol Morgan county whilst crossing the noun
alns, discovered the remains of human skel-
slOn' which was recognized by the shoes that
were on his feet, aud by leather belt, as the
Ie@3alns floyd. The back part of the skull
Wl V1a What appeared to be a bullet hole in it,
We also understand that Sauder's accOmplico
%:alessed the crime on his death bed. We
sincerely hope the villain may be caught and
Gr!ought to justice. A more cold blooded al

During the terrible snow storm on the night Of
March 2uth, mt about III O'Clock, fire broke Oui
10 range of frame buildings In Port Deposit, cI-
tending with such fearful rapdty that the i'll
mates had to escape into the piiiless storm with
nothing on but their night garments.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writing
under date of March 23d says:-
The flames spread with great rapidity, scarcely
allowing the inmates sufficient time to get out
barefooteed, and with scarcely any clothing. The
public school-uscd also for an engine house,
lookup and town hall was burned. The building
was large brick, with metal roof; insurance
f2,500. Mr.. Kirwin's grocery and dry goods
store together with all the furniture and clothing
was consumed insured for $500. Mr.. Macki-
sons cabinet warerooms. three stories in height,
containing valuable assortment of costly fnrni-
turo and coflius, was also destroyed; no insur-
ance on bnilding, and only 500 on stock. The
large boarding house of Mr.. Blunt, with all the
furniture, became a total loss; no Insurance. The
tenant house of Mr.. James Farr, occupied by Mr..
Hoyle, whose furniture was a total loss no in
surince. Mr.. Sauter's brick tenement was very
much injured, but was instrumental in preventing
the further progress of the fire, which threatened
to destroy the principal part of the town. The
warehouses, sash factory and lumber yards, with
their large stocks, were In the immediate vicinity
of the fire, and the wind blowing perfect gale,
carried large masses Of burning wood through
the air, which fell on the house-tcps and lumber
yards. Fortunately for us, everything was soak-
ing wet and covered with snow, or there would
be little left of our town to-day. The citizens
fought the flames nobly, but the engines were old
and almost worthless. II is said that Mr. Tome,
an enterprising townsnian, has promised to fur
nish the corporation with stern flre-engine at
his own expense: and II he did say so there is no
back out from what he promises.

The ENGLISH GoyERNMENT recently sent a
commissioner to this country to examine
into and report upon our educational insti-
tutlons. This gentleman, Mr.. Frazer, some
time ago reported to the Commission to
whom he was Immediately responsible, and
those gentlemen in summing up their review
of his statements, give the following as their
estimate of the American system
son the whole, it appears to us that the
great merit Of these schools is their precise
adaptation to the American people and the
American political life. Without the Ameri-
can energy to inspire them, and the Ameri-
can political life TO follow them, we think it
may be doubted whether they would attain
any real success. There appears TO be moth
ing in them to lift the people above their
own level There is no arrangement in the
system by which the fittest and most culti-
waited have powerful voice in controlling
the education of the whole. They full far
short Of Prussia in completeness and in
culture. But they seem TO have succeeded
in supplying every citizen with as much
education as is Indispensable for the ordin-
ary duties of life and in opening to him the
door for more if he desire it, They show
what may be done by calling on the people
to educate themselves and putting all the
machinery for the purpose into their own
hands

ration owning the Chcstertown bridge that he
could not afford To pay seventy five cents toll

know that unless the stage was allowed TO pass

would not deliver their mail. The corporation,
