Cameron Does .S,ot Betieys ~.

Last week, in the United States Senate,
Mr.. Morrill, called up the bill making appro-
priations for miscellaneous and impeachment
expenses of the Senate. The item of $780,
900 for miscellaneous expenses gave rise to
considerable debate; the report of which
states that Mr. Cameron referred to current
rumors in relation to deficiency of $4,000
between the accounts of Secretary Forney
and his Clerk, Mr. Wagner, Mr.. Cragin
said that Mr.. Forney had discovered the de-
felt, which his clerk, Mr.. Wagner, admitted
to have used.
Mr.. Cameron said the gentleman referred
to as defaulter was a native of his State,
and relative of the Secretary, and he would
say in justice to Mr.. Wagner that he (Wag-
ner) denied all the charges of misappropria-
ting money alleged against him by the Secre-
tary, and just repeated by the Senator from
New Hampshire (Mr. Cragin). Mr.. Cameron
was opposed to placing any more money in
the hands of the Secretary until this matter
was cleared up.
Mr.. Cameron insisted that the whole mat
ter should be investigated. He still had con-
fidence in the statements of Mr.. Wagner, who
had always borne spotless reputation, and
moved that the Committee on Contingent
Expenses be directed to inquire into and
report upon the condition of the accounts OF
the Secretary of the Senate.
From this it seems that General Cameron
does not believe word of the guilt of Mr.
Wagner, and that lie insists that no more
money shall so into the hands of Mr. Secre-
tary Forney, until this deficit of $4,000 is
cleared up

Owr Tosrn.

We are glad to learn that the spirit of i'm
proyement, which manifested. itself among
us last season, is'to be Continued during the
present summer. We hear of number of
buildings that are now in contemplation,
some ofwhich have, we believe, already been
commenced. Although there were erected
here last season some ten or twelve dwellings,
we believe that they were all engaged long
before they were finished. This will be the
case again. We know of no better invest
ment that man can make, than to invest in
dwelling houses in Bel Air Rents are HIGH
and there appears not to be half houses
enough. Indeed, if there were more than
double as many houses in this town as there
are, we believe that every one of them could
readily be rented to advantage. Enterprise
has, at last, got among us in the shape of sew
eral extensive stores, with experienced and
obliging merchants to manage them. While
at the lower end Of town, we have an extern
sive lumber yard, where articles for building
can be furnished adyantageously to all who
want materials for this purpose. The pro-
prietor, Mr.. Bovine, intends to be prepared,
at all times, to furnish lnmber at the fairest
market prices, while Isaac Amos, Esq, has
opened on Main street, an extensive hard
ware, iron and cutlery store, connected with
which is coal yard and extensive scales, for
weighing cattle, hay and other heavy matter,
that can only be weighed in this way. We
have among us, also, experienced mechanics
of most of the branches of mechanism. To
be added to these, is the very extensive car
rage mandatory of Hanna s. Brother
This is one of the most extensive factories of
this kind in the State. The buildings are
new, very large, and built with view to this
business alone. At this establishment some
of the finest work manufactured is daily
turned out The Bel Air Academy, SO famed
in the olden time, is now in as good a condi-
ton to impart education, as ever it has here
tofore been. At no time in its history was it
better managed or better calculated to be USE
full than now. Nor can school be selected
anywhere more beneficial to the youth, than
the Bel Air Academy.

PETIT JURY
Mad Dogs s9Q0iu,

We never recollect to have heard, at any
former time, half such an outcry in this coun-
ty about mad dogs, as there has been during
the past winter and spring. But when we
come to reflect upon the incredible number of
worthless dogs which are kept constantly on
hand, the wonder is that more of them are
not mad than there appears to be- This
season appears to be prolific of these rabid
animals. We notice every day OF two, in
our exchanges, the record of the terrible
death of some person from hydrophobia but
it would seem that if one-half of the whole
population of the country were to die from
the bite of these dogs, it would not diminish
their number particle.
We are led to these remarks, from having
received letter from our correspondent at
Spring Valley, detailing the doings of one
of these animals in the vicinity of Dublin and
Deer Park X Roads. He says:
MAD dogs have again visited the neigh
borhood of Dublin. A few days since one
of them attacked several dogs of the neigh
borhood, together with number of sheep
belonging to Mr. Geo. W. Jones. One day,
week before last, rabid dog made his APP
pearance near the store of Mr. Daniel Bailey,
at Fair View, near Deer Park X Roads, and
no male person being about at the time, the
sister of Mr.. Bailey, in the excitement of the
moment, seized gun and fired, bringing the
dog down before he had time to do any mis-
chief"
This young lady would be worth catching.
She will never desert herpost in time of dan
ger, we warrant it.

WHEATLAND, near Lancaster,
18th January, 1868.
.HesCtOar,s EnYernl.ise.

We have received copy of the Newtown
Enterprise, published weekly by E. F. Church,
at Newtown, Bucks county, Pennsylvania.
The paper is well gotten up, ably conducted,
and gives many signs of prosperity. We
wish it full success and long life. Mr.. Church
is familiar with the duties Of tire editorial
chair, and has heretofore been very success
full as an editor and publisher. He some
years ago started and for long time success
fully managed the Baltimore county AdrOcate,
the first weekly newspaper ever published in
that county. He afterwards became one of
the owners and conductors of the Baltimore
county Union, which he sold out in short
time and purchased an interest in the Ha-
gerstown Torch Light, which he also soon
abandoned and returned to Towsontown,
Baltimore county, and commenced the publ
cation of the Free Press, which, however, he
soon sold and commenced the publication of
the paper the name of which heads this arti-
Gle. Few men, perhaps, are better calculated
to a conduct county newspaper than Mr.
Church.

sM0i7l Street.

1t will be observed by the passer-by that
there are many places in Main street, in this
town, which badly need repair. fit was
at once commenced very little labor OF ex-
pense woal,r - necessary to put the pave
ment in CONDITION to last for twenty years
1t will be remembered that private enterprise
almost alone has relieved the county from
the annual expense of keeping more than a
mile of two of the most important roads lead
ing from this place, in repair, and that q
third important road, leading to Churchville,
for considerable distance over the very
worst part of it, was turnpiked several years
ago by the Hon. Henry w. Archer, at his
own cost, and has since been kept in repair
by him without any charge to the county
The pieces Of road to which we refer were,
in the winter, of the very worst character
particularly may this be said of the road lead
ing to the Hickory. This road and the roads
leading to Jarrettsville and to the White
House, have been turnpiked mainly by pri-
vate subscriptions, SO substantially as to re-
lieve the county from expenses for their re-
pair for many years to come. We may be
asked what all this has to do with the re-
pair Of Main street, in Bel Air well, it has
this to do with it, by the thorough repair of
the pieces of road above referred to, the coun-
ty has been relieved to twenty times the
amount of expense which it would cost to
put the street indicated in first rate order, and
therefore the County Commissioners could
make an appropriation for the purpose with
out mourning one-tenth Of the expense which
the yearly repair of the roadsreferred to would
necessarily have cost the county. Besides
this there is no piece of road in the county,
used so much by the public as Main street, in
Bel Air. We are aware that it may be OBJ
jected to, on the ground that the Legislature
appointed commissioners to pave this street,
but to this objection, if such one should be
made, it may be answered that there is but
oneof the these commissioners now living, and
he not resident of this county, and if he
were, the great probability is that the fund for
paving the street is long since exhausted
But whether this be so or not, it is well
known that if this street is left unrepayed for
another year that it will be in an impossible
condition, for when the wheels once cut COM
pletely through, the adjacent stone will be
torn up, chuck holes made, and the whole
street in a much worse condition than if it
had never been paved at all. Formerly the
county was at the expense of keeping this
piece of road in repair, but since it was paved
some twenty years ago, there has been no
such expense needed. We do not know
what steps the County Commissioners may
take in the matter, or whether they will take
any at all, but we chose to call their early at
tention to the fact that if something of the
kind is not done shortly, the county win soon
have to bear the annual expense of mending
this as well as other county roads. We hope,
therefore, that the Board Of County Commits
sioners viii at least take this. matter into
consideration at an early day.

MILINERY.-The attention of our readers
is directed to the advertisement of Miss Fan
ME Oldiield, in another column. Although
this enterprising young lady has heretofore
offered such inducements to the public as are
rarely met with in the country, this spring
she has gone beyond that, and prepared her
stock to meet any want which could be sup
piled in the city, Her goods are of the latest
styles and the best fabrics. She is located on
Main street, below Moore & Norris store,
and hers, ladies, is the place to buy.

HAY FORK SwINDLE.-It will be recol-
lected that some time during last summer, a
number of our citizens made investments in
a patent hay fork, which investments, how
ever, proved very improbable, as the whole
thing was fraud. 1t seems that the fellow
has lately turned up in Carroll county, and
that he is likely to have cause to repent his
profitable transactions, provided, however,
that he is the guilty party. The Westmins-
ter AdpOcate says:
RELEASED ON BAIL-Jno D. Benton, who
is charged with being the person who sold
our citizens shares of stock last summer and
bogus patent rights for hay fork which was
to do wonderful things had hearing before
Judge Hayden, on Friday last. He was re-
leased in $4,100 security to answer at the
May term of the Circuit Court for this county.

HARTFORD BEEF.-It has been long known
that no county in the State has madesuch
rapid strides in improvement, in the last
twenty years, as Hartford REINFORCEMENT
of her lands, buildings and farming stock has,
within the period named, been almost jncred-
ible, and as grazing county, she is the first
among all her sister counties. We re-
cognize among her cattle dealers and pro.
ducers, Mr. John ]. Street,, as among those
who are the most successful. Not long since
he sold to dealer, at Lancaster Pennsylva-
mia, several head of those fine cattle for which
he is noted for raising, with the direction
that ex-President Buchanan should be fur
nished with round of beef, which was ac-
cordingly done. The other day friend of
Mr. Streets handed us the accompanying
note from Mr.. Buchanan, acknowledging its
receipt:
WHEATLAND, near Lancaster,
18th January, 1868.
My DEAR SIR Il have received from
Mr.. Miller, the roast of delicious beef, which
you directed him to send me. For this token
of your regard, which highly prize, please
to accept my best thanks.
Yours very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.
MR.. JOHN J. STREET..
