AN Empty Ruuop Baltimore papers have

AN EMPTY RUMoR.-The Baltimore papers have
been creating SEINE rumor in relation to the lden-
tity of the unfortunate girl that was murdered
at Chase's Station few weeks ago. This ru-
NOR has made her name, Martha Doherty. This
is based upon statement that Mrs. Mary NC
Manus, q lady ofintelligence and responsibility,
residing at No. 60 Harrison street, Baltimore
city, was convinced, when she read the account
first in the american, that the unfortunate girl
was Martha Doherty, who had been frequently
in her employ. The parents of Martha Doherty
were from Ireland and resided in Philadelphia
before coming to Baltimore to live. Martha for
few years divided, her time between several
families In the city, and when having an insane
spell she would be taken into Bay View Asylum.
Her accute cunning would not allow her to re-
main long there, before she would make her way
back to some one of the families that had treated
her so kindly. AZ.
At the houses of these friends she was perfectly
harmless. She was an excellent seamstress, was
often engaged in making fine shirts and some
times accumulated considerable sum of money,
which she kept in bank. She was exceedingly.
fond of fancy dressing and once purchased a red
flannel cloak at the solicitation of some one who
imposed upon her. Mrs. McManus supposes it
to be something over year since she left Balti
more.
A Mrs. Gott, of the city, at whose house Mar
tina stayed frequently, visited Towsontown on
Monday for the purpose, if possible, of identify
ing some of the clothes of the unfortunate girl as
those of Martha Doherty. Mrs. Colt was not
able to recognize any thing as Martha's, but she
thought that some Of the apparel was character
istc of Martha.
These parties said to a number of their ac-
quaintances about the time of the sad occurrence
that they thought it must be Martha Doherty,
but took no steps to inform the public or any of
the authorities upon this point.
So, as the matter stands in the papers ac-
counts of it, we are really no nearer the knowl-
edge of who the unfortunate girl was. There is
nothing in any o: the statements that justifes
any one in saying that she was Martha Doherty
or who she was

HEAVY RAIN, ALMOST A FLooD.-Our city was
visited by a heavy rain on Thursday night last
accompanied by almost incessant thunder and
lightning. The Tiber rose in few minutes to
a somewhat alarming height causing no lit
tie anxiety to the jewellers along its banks
Fortunately, however, the recent Cleaning
out" to which it has been subjected in several
places, gave it the requisite power to convey to
the Patapsco its immense volume of water,
The head gates of the Patapsco Flour Mill
Race having been left open, the water from the
swollen river rushed in to such an extent as to
cause slight overflow on the turnpike, which
gave rise to an absurd report that the Patapsco
was flooding the pike and threatening the mill.

of Mr.. John Mason, on the farm of Samuel Chew,
Esq, short distance east of this town, and
carried off clothing belonging to his servants, to

stolen were new, and it is supposed the thief was
aware Of the fact that the servants had lately re-
plenished their wardrobes. No clue to the perpe-
traitor.

AUGUsT.-The Summer is rapidly passing
away. It's meridian has already gone by. Its
harvests have been reaped and mown and safe
ly garnered. The luxuriance of June has par
TALLY faded. The ripe fields of July have had
their places supplied by barren stubble and
desccated Vegetation. The years fruitful bow
er has been plucked. The heat during some
portions of our Summer has been raging, and
man and beast painted in the shade and swell
tered in the sunshine. The fruit trees luxuri-
ant bows have showered an abundance of deli
cious fruit at our feet. Garden, orchard and
farm have all done we'll. Each has brought
forth its portien of fruit in due season. The
heart of him who rearedis gladdened because OF
his abundance. He who consumes rejeices be-
cause his means will enable him to obtain
plenty.
The beautiful days of June departed with
ephemeral heetness, and the magnificence of
her midday splendors have faded and become
tiresome to the eye. July, ushered in upon US
ere we were ready for her painting suns and
much needed toll, kept US busily at work to
meet the emergencies of her crops, fruits, shine
and shower. She rushed us through her Won
ted programme Gin hot haste" Her showers
have been gracious to producer and consumer,
to laberer and employer, to the man and the
beast that toll together. Her refreshing rains
have been life to the dying, Joy to the desolate,
strength to the weary, wealth to the poor,
health to the invalid and blessing to all.
And now August is upon us with her parch-
ing suns. This month was Introduced into the
calendar by the Romans and took its name
from the illustrious Augustus, Rome's wisest
and best Emperor. So prudent and just was
he in the management Of the affairs of the En-
pire that historians gave his reign the name of
the "Golden Age" of the Roman Empire.
1t is the parching month-the antipodes of
January. 1t tries to destroy by heat what
January attempted by frost. Leaves of vines
and plants drOop and wither; tree foliage dries
up, while many flower looks the fierce sun
square in the eye all day long and neither
withers nor winks. Cattle seek the cool shade
of the marsh and insects buzz and hum in the
full enjoyment of this, their gala-month.
1t is warm, dry, parched The royal robes
of Summer are scared and soiled. Corn alone
luxuriates and this will show signs of decay
ere the month departs.

ABOUT Observation-Disclosures were discov-
cred in ancient times, by Roman priest
whose name we forget, though it can be found
in q book the title of which we do not remem
Der. He had been broiling piece of beef, to
be offered to the god in whose temple he Off
ciated, and Selling it by the thumb and fore
finger, for the purpose of conveying it to the
altar, he foundits so hot he was compelled to
drop it, and instinctively placed his thumb
and finger into his mouth. They happened to
be covered with the juice of the steak, which
he tasted, and lost all sense of pain, in the ex-
quisite enjoyment thus conveyed to the palate.
Being a man of genius, he placed another slice
upon the Goals, which, being cooked he instant
ly devOured, losing sight of his official duties,
which required that it should be placed before
the god. For long time he pursued this
course until his sleek appearance attracted at
tention, and he was watched, and the secret
discovered. He would have been put to death,
but for the judge on his trial eating q steak,
whereupon he was acquitted, and made a Pom
tifex Maximus( High Priest) as a reward for the
benefit he had conferred on mankind. Beef
steaks became rage and there were broils 60
ingon all over the empire; for the Romans were
little more quick-witted than the Chinese,
who deemed it necessary to burn down house
to roast pig. 1t was blessed day for mortals
when the priest burnt his fingers

CAMP MEETING AT TowsoNrowN.-For some

Methodist Protestant denomination of this cir

learn that efforts are being made to hold the camp,
which we hope may succeed. Capt. Chew has
made very liberal offer, and if the members
exert themselves it will no doubt be great sue
cess. 1t will be under the charge of Rev. D. W.
Bates, whose abilities as camp meeting mana
