of the new Penitentiary. He says that
the building is progressing finely. and
that the walls of the prison part are
nearly up.

The Condemned.

1t is said that Governor Bowie will not
commute the sentence of death in the case OF
Mary Wallace, the negro woman who caused
the death of an infant by administering poi
son-strong remonstrances against pardon
having been sent to the Executive by highly
respectable citizens of the neighborhood where
the crime was committed.

The sentence OF the law is to be executed
on Friday next, at the Jail yard, in this vii

the great crimes for which these parties were
found guilty; and that our village may never

the hands of an outraged lava law made

Unanswerable Arguments.


Established facts are silent arguments which
neither pen nor tongue can shake, and tits upon
established facts that the reputation of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, as health-preserving
elixir, and wholesome and powerful remedy,
is based. When witnesses come forward in
crowds, year after year, and reiterate the same
statements in relation to the beneficial effects
of medicine upon Themselves, disbelief in its
efficacy is literally impossible. The credentials
of this unequalled tonic and Alternative, extend
ing over period of nearly twenty years, in
clude individuals of every class, and residents
of every cline, and refer to the most prevalent
among the complaints which aflict and harass
the human family. Either multitude ofpeo-
pie, strangers to each other, have annually been
seized with an insane and motiveless desire to
deceive the public, or Hostetters Bitters, for
no less than fifth of a century, have been at
fording such relief to sufferers from indigestion,
fever and ague, biliousness, general debility,
and nervous disorders, as no other preparation
has ever impaired. To-day, s0hile the eyes q
the reader are upon these lines, tens OF thousands
of persons of both sexes are relying upon the
Bitters as sure defence against the ailments
which the present season engenders, and their
confidence is not misplaced. The local potions
which interested dealers sometimes endeavor to
foist upon the sick in its stead, are everywhere
meeting the fate that is due to fraud and i'm
posture, while the demand for the great vege-
table specific is constantly increasing.

Destructive Fire.

We are panied to announce, says the Prince
Georgian, that the fine dwelling house and
out-houses Of DR.. Joseph Howard, situated in
Queen Anne District. were entirely consumed
by fire on Tuesday evening last, about nine
o'clock. From what we have been able to
gather in regard to the origin of the fire, leads
US to think it was the work of an incendiary.
The fire was made 10 chicken-coop, which
rested against the meat house, which was con-
sumed, together with all the meat. Thence
it communicated to the dwelling; and not
withstanding the neighbors hurried to his as
sistance, such was the CONSERVATION and want
of concert of action on such occasions, that it
was entirely consumed. DR.. Towards loss
is very heavy. In addition to the building he
lost his valuable medical library, medicines
and quantity Of groceries. The furniture,
much damaged, however, was saved. The
Doctors loss is estimated at about $4,000
which is partially covered by insurance. His
friends and neishbors deeply sympatbize with
him in this great affliction.

Fish as Good as Anybody.

We have been inclined to favor the remov-
al of Mr.. Fish from the Department of State;
but on the whole we doubt whether Grant is
likely to 10 any better than to keep him 10:
Fish has good many things to recommend
him. He has an accomplished, elegant and
popular wife, and charming daughters; and
If his oldest son and private secretary is lit
tie gawkish, he may outgrow it by the time
he arrives at his fathers age. Mr.. Fish has
good knowledge of the political history of
this country, early and modern. We have
found considerable fault with him about sew
etal things; but when we come to reflect that
some fellow with no more brains than the
good natured, Pleasonton might, and indeed
would be likely to be selected by Gen. Grant
to succeed him, we say, let Fish swim !

damsel is now in her sixth year, and though
young, needs no protector; indeed, so much
of pet is she that every one-even testy old
bachelors, vie with each other in doing her
honor; expense nor pain counts ought in
doing her court. The young lady utterly
detests her Northern origin, and is about to
take up. her residence in the Sunny South

mond, by way of the seaboard, about the first
of April thence she will visit the lower coun-
ties of Maryland by way of Washington.
We know that her coming to old Charles
county is anxiously looked for, and that many
households have already made ample prepa-
ration for entertainment during her stay.
Every one will, doubtless, ''do the agreeable
during her sojourn, for the sake, at least, Of
the ancient prestige Of our venerable old coun-
ty. She will get to Baltimore during the
simmer, when Mayor Banks will give an
grafton commensurate with the occasion and
introduce her to the elite of the city.
1t is supposed by some that Miss N. will
remain until the meeting of our Legislature,
but of this we have some doubt, as she is
aware that she has many friends in that body
who will attend to her interests. She will
doubtless retdrn South-keeping ahead Of the
