The AiaRfhUs Tree.--We hearty en-
dorse the following from the Easton
Journal. Westminster has but few of
these trees, and we hope that they will
shortly be removed The Journal says:
The poet says there is nothing 10 q

uame would smell as sweetly." This
may all be. SO far as the rose is coucern-
cd, but to call The alauthus the Tree Of
Heaven is stretch Of poetical imagi.
nation not warranted in the case. We
have many Of these shade trees in our
town, and just now they are in full
bloom. There is no beauty in the flower.
and the odor emitted is Of the most of
fensive, siekening character, filling the
air for fifty yards around it, The nox
ious odor is regarded as decidedly un-
healthy. and il many parts ofthe country
the tree is not permitted to grow. Why
any one should take such fancy to the
tree we never could see aud why it is
permitted to grow in any town or vii.

authority for 50 doing. we would like to

FdvtceH .SeFcices at The Lutheran
| Gapch-The Rev p, A. Strobel held
his farewell services with the Lutheran
Congregation last Sabbath. The fore
noon sermon was from the words "Who
hath believed our report and to whom

"the solictude of the faithful Pastor

evening sermon was from Genesis 45,4.

was sehristian emulation aud christian

The audiences, both forenoon and af-
terncon, were very large aud the hear
ers seemed deeply interested in the
services. The Faster stated that during
the past year, there had been about 40
members added to the churches Bap.

Mr. S. resigned his charge because
of the excessive labor connected with
tho serving of FIVE congregations, scat
tered over a very large territory and
the seeming imprncticability of making
any satisfactory changes in the present
arrangement. We risk nothing in
saying that Mr. Strobel's connection
with the Westminster charge has been
eminently successful and he leaves our
community carrying with him the con
fdcnce and good will of men of all par-
ties and of all religious scots

Business Giqagc.-By reference to
our advertising columns it win be seen
thai change Of business has been made
by two Of our largest merchants. II
has often been matter Of surprise te
us, that in a town where SO much enter.
PRISE is shown, that one person should
attempt to do the business of two or
three or keep on hand large stock Of
miscellaneous goods without incurriug a
heavy loss. In many places with only
half the population of Westminster,
business is better classified. As il is a
new thing here their customers for a
time may experience little inconve,
uience, bat will soon become pleased
With the new style. This desirable
change has begun, and hereafter Mr..
John l.. Reifsnider viii devote himself
entirely to the nousefurnishing, Gro,
Gerry and Hardware business, and
Messrs. Yiugling & Sou to the Dry
Goods trade.

Martial Law.

A man By the name of Sullivan, a scar
gent in one of the companies of the mill
tia posted at this place, was indicted by
the Grand Jury for malicious shooting, and
afterwards arrested by the sheriff aud con-
fned~in the county Jail. The charge
against him was for shooting at an old man
by the name of Defoe, on the turnpike near
town, a quiet citizen in the employ of the
Richland Manufacturing Company. On
Wednesday morning last the prisoner was
brought into court by the sheriff, when
Captain Winters, commanding the Post,
appeated in court with squad of soldiers
and demanded that the defendant should be
turned over to him TO be tried by Court
Martial. The Attorney General submitted
the facts to the court, and Judge Hughes
decided that from his understanding of the
law organizing a State Guard, the militia
were to be governed by the U, S. Army
Regulations, and that one of them guilty
of an ofense was to be tried by Martial
Law if required by the commander, and
therefore on motion of the Attorney General,
ordered that a mole prOseQai be entered in
the case, and the prisoner delivered to
Capt. Winters, which was accordingly done.

Nearly Serious.

A difficulty occurred on Monday last be-
tween Captain Winters, of the militia, and
J. N. Mckenzie, of this place, which came
near eliminating in serious trouble. but,
thanks to the Intervention of cool and dis
Greet counsellors, terminated without
bloodshed. 1t seems that Mr.. Mex. was
exhibiting patent rat trap to a customer,
and by some Encouragement the customer
got his fingers caught, and gave express
sion to his surprise and pain by a quick
sharp whistle, which vas mistaken by Cap
tain Winters, who happened TO pass the
door, in charge of squad of stragglerS
just at the time, as an intentional insult
to him, and he approached Mr.. McKen-
zie with a drawn pistol and questioned
him as to what d-d-s-n-of-s-b-h whis-
tied at him. Mr.. Mex. having previously
had a misunderstanding with the captain,
and feeling conscious of having intention
ally done nothing to provoke such an at
tack. levelled shot gun at the intruder.
who Immediately left the house with the
avowed purpose of returning to arrest Nc
Kenzie. He subsequently, returned for
that purpose. but finally became pacifed
aud prudently abandoned the project
These are substantially the facts without en-
tering fully into the details, as related to US
by Mr.. Mckenzie and other witnesses.

The County Jail.

On Monday evening last we paid our
friend, Sheriff Parsons and his dodgers, .

took occasion to inspect the Jail premises
thoroughly. We came away convinced
tina t mine host knows how to keep a hotel
Ordinarily prisons are loathsoms, filthy and
gloomy, but our county Jail, under the SUI
perintendance and control of the sheriff
himself, presents really a neat and agreea-
BILE appearance. The cells are thoroughly
clesnsed aud disinfected daily, while the
entire prison walls are adorned with a spot
less pat of wbitewash. The prisoners look
sleek. healthy and well fed, while they are
unanimous and enthusiastic in their good
opinions of Sheriff Parsons. The front yard
has been beautifully turfed and adorned
with box and flowers while the entire prem.
Uses, except the yard Immediately in front
of the building, has been enclosed with
q new and splendid fence. The residence
part of the building has also undergone
many improvements in the way of paint,
papering, whitewash, &c. All these re-
pairs and improvements have been made
by Mr.. Parsons, without any expense to
the county except for lumber and other ma
terial. The prisoners have done all this
work and will continue to keep the prisons
and premises clearly and in repair.
Sheriff Parsons deserves a vote of thanks
from the public for the revolution be has
effected at the Jail, prompted by kindly
feeling for the poor erring mortals who fall
under his care, and desire to promote their
health and comfort while awaiting trials be-
fore the courts. His theory is "conVict
