NOTICE.
TO FORMER OWNERS OF SLAVES
IN CHARLES COUNTY.


lTfIE undersigned, appointed "Commls-
Il sioner Of Slave Statistics" by the GoVer-
nor of Maryland, by authority of an act OF the
General Assembly, s'entitled An Act TO provide
for taking and perpetuating the evidence OF the
number of persons held to labor and service in
the State of Maryland and emancipated by the
Constitution adopted in the year 1864, and by
whom such persons were heidi
Hereby gives notice, that he will attend at
his Office, in PORT TOBACCO, from day 10
day, for the purpose Of discharging his duties as
said Commissioner.
The Act of Assembly designs to place, in the
safe keeping of the State, correct evidence of the
number of slaves held by her citizens, at the
time, when, under the influence of the pledge
of compensation from the United States, such
slaves were cmancipatcd. 1t is obvious that those
only will be compensated who furnish the State
with such evidence. The object OF the Law and
the necessity of its passage may be better under
stood by reading the Law itself The preamble
says:
'sThat the State of Maryland has a good,
valid and just claim upon the Government of the
United States for reasonable and adequate COM
pensaton for the said property, and that it ought
not to be doubted that the Federal Government,
when the passions excited by the late unhappy
civil Wal shall have subsidized, will recognize the
justice of the said claims and faithfully pcrform
her manifest duty in regard to it,
The law requires the following:
The names of the former owners, at the time
of the adoption of the Constitution in the year
1864.
s'The names, number, age, sex and physical
condition of such slaves; whether they were
slaves for life or for term of years, and how
many years; whether they have been enlisted or
drafted into the United States, SO far is known
to said owners others; and into what regi-
ments they were placed, and what compcnsa-
ton, if any, has been received from the State or
General Government by such owner or owners
for such slaves so enlisted or drafted into the
military service of the United States.''
The testimony required is the sworn state
ment of the for mer owner or legal representa-
tive, confirmed by the 'soath of at least two dis
interested Witnesses The record thus made
up is declared to be legal evidence upon all ques
tons concerning the ownership of slaves in this
State at the time of the adoption of the Constit-
ution by which said slaves were emancipated.'
Fees CASH.

LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.

lTNHE progress of Life Insurance in thu
l. United States proves this great crown
ling triumph of modern science and phllan'
Ithrophy to be one of the marvellous features
of our social economy.
! The wisdom of all ages has devised nothing
that ompares with it. 1t is so manifest y
good, that it is difficult TO see how an intelIl7
gent man, with proper concern for the COM
fort and protection of his family, can fail to
avail himself of its benefits.
Life Insurance leaves ready money to settle
estates to advantage. 1t will prevent sac
rifice of property if man die in debt. 1t is
subject to no tax during life, nor Orphans
Court expenses after death. 1t is exempt by
law from debt 1t is rapidly becoming rule
that all men of just attributes insure.
Our Maryland Company commends itself
to the confidence and patronage of our people
| in all parts of the State. Its directors are
men of known integrity and ability, to whom
the public may look with confidence for AUST
and careful supervision Of its affairs. 1t must
be clear to every thinking mind that, ii we
would secure the largest prosperity to our
State and people Individually, we must build
up our institutions and keep our capital at
home.
Had the five million dollars sent out OF the
State annually for insurance been invested
at home, it would have told favorably upon
our own wealth and commerce. This is en-
phatically Our company-gotten up by our
best merchants to afford the opportunity for
all to insure without sending the money out
of our own State. The affairs of the compa-
ny are managed with economy. For two
years and a-half the President received no
compensation for his services.
Such has been our marked success that we
were able after the second year to declare and
pay in cash as large dividend as the oldest
and largest company in the United States
The Company feel greatly encouraged by the
patronage and cooperation they have receiv
ed, and solicits continuance of the same.
Self-respect, State pride and interest, combine
to make this'the company for us.
Now, dear sirs, iu view of all the advanta-
ges of Life Insurance as an investment-the
uncertainty Of life-the strong claims of wife
and children upon husband and satber-is it.
not the moral duty Of every man to put
something in form that will prevent want
and distress, or trouble on the part of those he
loves?
By all means insure, and do it at once in
the Maryland Company. The Officers of this
Company are:
GEO. P. THOMAS, President.
