the town might proceed to choose others.
Section 7, article /, OF OR Constitution
provides that if any person elected or APP
pointed 10 Office shall neglect or refuse To
take the oath OF Office he shall be considered
as having refused to accept said Office, and
a new election or appointment shall be
made.
The Supreme Court Of New York in the
case Of the The People vs.. Collins, held
"that il the Commissioners Of Highways
acted without taking the oath required BY
law they were liable to penalty; or the
town, upon their default in complying with
the reqaisition Of the law, might have pro.
ceeded TO new choice Of Commissioners
Bat ifthe town did not, the subsequent &C Is
Of the Commissioners as such were valid,
as far as the rights Of third persons and the
public were concerned in them. Theywere
Commissioners de facio since they came to
their Office by color of title; and il is well
settled principle Of law that the acts of such
persons are valid when they concern the
public or the rights Of third persons who
have an interest in the act done; and this
rule is adopted TO prevent the failure of
Justice Numerous other authorities might
be cited to the sane point, but deem those
have referred to sufficient.
For these reasons must hold the acts Of
Mr.. Blizzard, as an officer de .fdeto in re.
turning the lists of the taxable inhabitants
10 be used in the selection Of the lists of
jurors, as valid, and that the present jury
is legally and properly constituted.
The case OF Marshall VS.. HARDWOOD, !
Md. i55, and the case Of Glare VS.. The
State, 80 Md. 1853, have been referred to.
The first of these cases was an applica-
ton by Marshall for mandamus to obtain
the possession Of the office OF State Libra
rian, and it was Necessary, therefore, for
him to show that he was legally entitled to
the office by having been duly appointed
and qualified according to law. His bond
had not been properly approved, and hence
he failed to obtain possession of the office.
In such case the party must recover on the
strength Of his own legal title. No such
question arises in the present case, as this
is not contest for the POSSESSION Of an
Office.
In the case Of Glare the Judges failed to
hold meeting and select list from which
to draw and summon the Jury. They omitted
TO do that which the law required to be
done in the selection Of the list Of jurors,
aud the jury was therefore held 10 be void.
II is not pretended in this case that any.
thing required to be done IL he selecting aud
draiciag Of the present jury has been
omitted The question is whether an
officer de tdcto could legally make out and
file with the Clerk Of this Court the list Of
taxable inhabitants aud residents of the
county, These cases are therefore not ap
phcabls to the case now bs'ore the Court.

On the evening of Monday the 9th, the
young people Of New Windsor aud vicinity,
thanks to the untiring exertions Of the chiy.
elric Mr.. Eli IIibbard, passed several very
pleasant hours, "tripping the light fantastic
TO the Inspiring tones Of the violin. The Hop
was held in the house lately owned BY Mr..
Daniel Sioufier, and occupied by the Rev.
John Smith, but which is now 10 the posses

out. Tre house was greatly admired by the
ladies, and as this is Leap Year, we take this
method Of expressing our admiration. By 0
O'Clock a "goodly companie" had assembled,
when we were ushered into the ball room ;
supplied with par iners, and ranged In regula.
tion rows BY the indefatigable committee Of
one. Among the numerous gentlemen pre-
sent, one very diguified young man was
particularly noticeable on account Of huge
pair Of eye glasses, through which he could
see nothing, but which he wore for the purpose
Of distinguishing his partaer from tho rest of
the fair damsels present. Amoag the amuse-
ments afforded by some Of the sedate, quiet ones,
was that Of slidiag down the bauislers, which
they seemed to enjoy, judging from the peal,
OF hughter accompanying each successful
slide. One Of the features q the entertain N emf
was the "Doliy Warden kisses" which, though
something entirely new. seemed to be enjoy cd,
especially By the gentleman with eye glasses.
The same young man when asked II he had a
pis a uts, searched bis pockets and finally con-
cluded he had left II at home. Among the late
arrivals was Capt. Mel. and Mr. g. from
Calvert College. The later added greatly to
the enjoyment by bis kind assistance To the
musician, NJ. Sheets Of Westminster. As the
"wrc sma hours" advanced the tired jewellers,

from their slumber with their '.gond night
