TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN HARTFORD CoUN-
TY.-We are again called upon to record an
other of those terrible tragedies that of late
have occurred in our county with shocking
frequency. From the best information we
have been enabled to procure, the following
seem to be the main facts connected with
the affair: Miss Smith, an elderly lady of
IA years OF age, was on visit from Balti-
more TO the family of Mr. VIM Robinson, in
this county, who resides in the neighborhood
between the Upper Cross Roads and Jarretts-
vile. On Tuesday of last week, about noon
of that day, Miss Smith started from Mr..
Robinson's house TO pay visit to ]. Hen
derson Kirkwoods family, residing about
half mile therefrom. AS she was quietly
walking along the public road leading to Mr..
Kirkwood's, and when about half the distance
had been accomplished, she was approached
and seized by young negro man, who was
in the employ of Mr.. Robinson and had been
engaged on that day in cutting corn, who
dragged her from the road into the woods
near by, and where, despite her struggles and
outcries, he accomplished his horrid designs
upon her. In the struggle that had ensued,
nearly all the clothing was torn from the
person of Miss Smith, and she was abandon
ed by the negro in a condition of complete
exhaustion. She succeeded, however, in
making her way back to Mr.. Robinsons,
who started in pursuit of the criminal, and,
according to one report of the matter, cap
tured and confined him in corn house,
whence he escaped whilst Mr.. Robinson went
in quest of an officer to convey him to Jail;
and according to another version, Mr.. Rob-
inson did not succeed in capturing him at
that time at all. AT all events the officers Of
the law We're upon his track, and on Satur-
day last, Constable Kosher, of Baltimore
county, succeeded in effecting his arrest near
Glen Rock, place just over the line lin

Correspondence

Sprina Valeq Dublin District. Oct 5th, 1869.
MEssRs. EDITORS: notice in one of the
Bel Air papers an account of very large
bird, written by somebody from Dublin
He says it was six feet tall, which is as high
as tall man, and that it had bill seven
inches thick. He calls it Flanagan"
Now, if he was so near as to tell the precis e
length of its bill, he might have captured it
and kept it for exhibition. He might have
made nice thing out of such monster of a
bird. But think he is not what he repre-
sents himself to be. He calls himself "Mars,"
which, among the old Romans, meant the
god of war. But l think his monster must
have been buzzard for they are the most
impudent birds, besides the most homely,
and will venture very close to man when
he is sitting about. If the writer alluded to
is so easily scared at q buzzard, would adj
wise him to be more careful where he stops
the next time.
The same writer has heard of very large
snake of the black species, 0 feet inches
long, which would be q monster of snake,
indeed; also of buck sheep, "worth $780,"
killing large Newfoundland dog. Well,
we thank him for making such things public,
for if he had not done so, think we never
should have heard of them. However, hope
the buzzard will not disturb him again, or at
least not come on him unawares.
Farmers are about their seeding in good
earnest, now that they can plough. 1 have
never before seen such an effort to get the
usual number of acres seeded. A great
many have seeded theit corn ground, and are
now blowing their sod ground. Some of
the corn is as good as last year-which was an
extra yield-but this is where the land was
good and the crop well worked. In poor
land and with the crop neglected, l have
never seen a good yield.
must conclude by telling you that in our
part of the district we have none of those
monster birds to trouble us. AS they are
natives of the East Indies, we would not
know what to call them. Nor do we know
of those large snakes, and we have none of
the breed Of sheep that will kill Newfound-
land dogs. wish we had for we have dogs
that will kill sheep.
Yours, A.

The District Meetings Morrow.

The Democratic Conservative voters are
requested to meet tomorrow, in the several
election districts, for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidates for School Commiss' oners,
as will be noticed by advert ement at the
head of our columns. We hope the impor-
lance of selecting fit men for these positions
will impress itself upon the attention of our
citizens. The Act of Assembly of March,
1868, prescribes that call the property, estate
effects, money, funds, claims" &C., ut the
passage of that act, belonging to the school
authorities for the benefit of Public, Primary,
Free or High schools of the county, are by it
transferred and vested in the Board of Coun-
ty School Commissioners, and their success
sors in office-and that they shall have gener-
al superintendent of all the schools of the
county, pay the salaries of the teachers, dis
tribute the school books, &c, besides posses
sing other special powers in regard to public
schools.
The efficient working of the school system
depends largely upon the energy and tact
with which its provisions are carried out !;
and it is so intimately connected with the
important interests of the people of the coun-
ty that more than ordinary attention should
be given to secure good mentor the admin
istration Off For these reasons it is desira-
bic, in order to more fully test the merits
of the system, that our citizens should
turn out to morrow, at the district meetings,
to secure the nomination of proper candi-
dates.

great improvements made of late years, by
different manufacturers, in stoves of this
character, Messrs. Bibb & Co.'S diamond"
is decidedly the best in the market-the in

exceedingly handsome.

the Northern Central Railroad, to be taken
to Towsontown, after commitment had been
obtained n f::es. Tnstiee Rntledge when, on ar
irving at Whitehall, station on that road, the
cars were stopped and party, composed
of about thirty men, took the negro in charge
to bring him directly to the Bel Air Jail, in
stead of taking him on to Towsontown.-
This was late in the afternoon of Sa urday,
and the party started from the railroad to-
wa:ds Jarrettsyille, ON the way to Bel Air
when within about two miles of Jarrettsville,
on what is called Kings road, upon the ne
gro's confessing to the crime and giving the
particulars of the hOrrid outrage, they halted
under tree and hung him upon limb of it.
He was left suspended during Saturday night
Aid until about 12 o'clock, NJ, on Sunday,
when Ills remains were cut down and buried
in the neighborhood.
The negro was known in the neighborhood
by the name of Jim Grow, and was about
eighteen years of age. The condition of his
victim, Miss Smith, is precarious in the ex-
IRENE, and at last accounts it was feared that
she would not long survive her injuries.
Thus has swift retribution been melted out
to one of the most heinous offences known to
the law. The excitement in the neighbor-
hood on the coming to light of the crime of
which the negro was guilty, was of course
most intense.
