DRY EARTH SYSTEM!
For the Sewage of Towns, Factories.
Hospitals, Prisons, Hotels and
Private Houses.

4 MPLE experience has shown the Dry Earth
IA System to be more efficient In preventing foul
smells, and far less costly in construction and
pairs than the Water Closet System; and that it is
in all respects entirely satisfactory, whether for the
SICK ROOM or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all, in town and coun-
try, every benefit possessed by the Water Closet at
far less cost with the additional advantages, that
is portable, and can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom
1t promises more in immunity from offensive
odors, from infection in disease and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth
ervor are self-contained, and movable pail takes
the place of the vault.
For use in Bed Rooms, Hospital Wards, Infirm-
aries, &c, the Commode is invaluable. 1t is entire
ly free from those faint, depressing odors common
to portable rGter closets and night stools and through
its admission one of the greatest miseries of human
life the foul smells of the sick rOom and OF the
most frequent means of communicating infection,
may be entirely prevented

Sherman md the Army Bill.

Don Piatt writes: As soon az Logan's
bill reached the Senate, Henry hunted
up General Sherman for consultation.
1t was arranged between them that the
chairman should address letter to the
General, and that the General should
respond in a letter for publication.
In this way the cunning old Heel tap
sought to shield his short comings behind
the popularity of old Tecumseh. He did
not calculate upon the results of the
absurd letter Sherman would write in
reply. Instead of helping out Henry,
the two fiDd themselves in a sitting
position on the ground, so very ludl-
crous that all the dignity of the Sena-
torial Fogbank, and the famous march
to the sea, cannot save them from
ridicule.
You will observe that Sherman in
forms the guilel0ss public that he can
not keep up his state and social status
on less salary than that now paid.
For the first time the American public
learns that the rewards given the gen
tleman who did such service in the war,
are to be found in the upholstery of a
donated house, and the stringed instru-
ments and teOt horns of evening en-
tertaiuments. And 30 the General
threatens to resign if his salary is re.
duced. hope he will think better of
it, and punish the public that appears
in silks. satins, tight breeches and bob
tail coats about Washington, by giving
fewer entertainments. 1t would be an
fortunate for him. TO resign. When
younger and stronger than he Is now,
his manner-if we are to believe his
biography-was not so muniticent as
that coming from generous Govern

A Man Shot in Frosfburg-He Dies
from the Wound.

On Friday morning last, at about ,
O'Clock, several men, amongst them one
named Coulahan, miner from Boston
mines, went to the house of Mr.. Thad-
deus Clary, in Frostburg, and after
knocking at the door until Mr.. Clary
was aroused, demanded admittance.
This was of course refused, and the men
were ordered to GO off. They still con-
tinued to knock at the door, and threat
ened to break it in unless they were ad-
nitted. Mr.. CIary again warned the
men to go off, statiug that if they
did not do so he would shoot them
Instead of leaving, however, they
undertook to force the door, by
means of a billy, and Mr., Clary
endea vored to frighten them away by
firing through the door at their feet.
They did not scare very easy, how
ever, and still continued their efforts TO
break the door open. Finally Mr.. Clary
warned them that unless they at once
desisted be wonld shoot them. They
failed to heed-his warning, and he fired
again through the door, the ball this
time taking effect in the stomach of the
man Coulahan, and iRflicting a fatal
wound.
After this shot was fired, the parties
dccamped, and the wounded man Sc
cured the services of a physician.
Nothing could be done, however, for his
relief, and he died from his woand on
Saturday morning. & x ~

A Man, Tried Twice for Murder, md
Acquitted.

The Baltimore Sun contains the pro-
ceedings in the second trial OF John
Clare, for the murder of Henry b,
Grove, which was committed in that
city. The case is O remarkable one for
the length Of time it has occupied. The
alleged murder was committed october
%, 1866, and the prisoner, who was coon
after arrested, whether guilty or inno-
cent, has already had o term of impris-
onment in Jail equal to the
minimum term in the penitentiary
for murder in the second de-
gree, and longer than that which is
sometimes inflicted for manslaughter
The case has also afforded another Of
the many illustrations OF the uncer-
tainties of the law. On the first trial,
which was in December, 1866, at Tow
sontowp, Baltimore county, whittier
the venue had been changed from the
city, the prisoner was convicted OF muir
der in the first:degree, and sentenced to
be hung. Before the trial, the indlct-
ment was demurred TO by tho
prisoners counsel, on the ground
that the grand jury in Baltimore by
whom it was framed was not properly
constituted, but the judge decided that
the Indictment was good. The case
was carried up to the Court of Appeals,
which sustained the point raised by the
prisoners counsel, aud the Indictment
being illegal, the former trial was also
illegal, and the accused must be tried
again. Upon this new trial, which has
Just ended, some evidence for the de-
feise, going to show an dlibi, was in
troduced, which was not given on the
previous trial, the witness, q
sister of the prisoner, having been
at that time unable to attend,
an account of sickness. On
the other hand, . witness for the prose.
cution had died since the first trial, and
statement Of his evidence was ruled
ont on the ground that the former trial
was illegal, and no trial. The evidence
on this trial was mostly circumstantial,
which is almost the only evidence that
can be obtained in cases of deliberate
murder, but the various links of it in
the present case were evidently not
deemed by the jury as strong as not to
admit of doubt, and they returned q
verdict of not guilty.

The Americas Ri.hop. in Rome,

A letter from Rome, dated March 5th
to the Baltimore Mirror, says:
Some more of the American Bishops
have applied for leave to return to their
diOcests, and are likely to be pernitted.
Among these are Bishop Quinlan, of
Mobile, and Bishop Wood, of Philadel-
phia. Both have been somewhat un-
wen, and the latter especially has been
quite i'll with rheumatism, but he is
now, much better, and moving about
again. Bishop Mcfarland has gone
down for a few weeks 10 Naples and
Sorrsntum. Rev. Mr.. McManus has
returned again to Rome, after making a
visit of omewesks.to Naples and M4l-

The Municipal War.

The feeling of interest in the result
to the imbroglio into which the civil
government of this city has been forced
by the refusal OF Mr.. George Chahoon
and bis subordinates to obey the law OF
the State of Virginia, has been more
intense, if not as demonstrative, since
the rendition of the decision of Judge
Underwood than before. The subject
is earnestly discussed by citizens who
own an interest in the city and feel an
interest in the restoration of peace and
quiet under municipal government of
their own choice.

bert, claiming to act as chief of Mr..
Chahoon's police force, went to Dir.
Ellyson's office and demanded, verbally,
that he be put in possession of the City
Hall, the public offices of the city and
the city property.
Mayor Ellyson responded that he did
not recognize the authority of Mr.
Chahoon as Mayor of this city, nor of
any one acting under bis authority, and
would not deliver the property to him.
Colenel Egbert left, and about o'clock
he and Mr.. Chahoon presented them
selves at tho City Hall and demanded
admittance to the office of the Mayor,
and the surrender of the building to
Mayor Chahoon. Sergeant Dabney
was in charge, and replied that he
knew no such individual, and would not

declares that General GRANTS 'connec-

in behalf of the annexation of San Do

with his. habitual reserve regarding
matters before Congress. For so marked
a departure fIom the policy which
he had previously pursued there
must be q strong underlying rea-
son. That reason the country
believes to he of character cal.
culated to degrade the high Office which
General GRANT now fills. The people
elected General GRANT to take care OF
their interests, to be the President OF
the masses, not the mouth piece of a set
of speculators, who will get mp gold
Rings" or purchase foreign territory
as it may best suit their mercenary and
corrupt purposes. He should run his
administration on that track When
he does not, III people will Put their
own construction upon the causes which
lead him in q different direction.
