stant, in the Circuit Court for Baltimore city, in
the case of John Thorne VS.. the W. NJ. R. Co,
Judge Pinkney passed an order dissolvipg lhein.
junction heretofore granted in the case, the conr
being of opinion that it was not proper case fol-
the interference of equity BY injunction, but that
the parties should be left TO their redress al law,
The injunction, which was granted on the 3ls
of May, was asked upon the ground that the
railroad company was constructing their road
through the property of Thorne, on the Hooks
town road, dividing his house from the other
portion of his place, and that they had done SC
without compromising him for the damage done
his property. The answer of the company was
to the effect that agreement had been made
between the complainant and the company fol
the damage sustained and that Thorne had sub
scribed to the stock of the road, but afterwards
refused compensation in that way, desiring thai
it should all be paid him in cash,

"DoEs THE SMALLPOX PREVAIL IN TpwsoN
TowN?'-A great many people in Baltimore city
are under the impression that the smallpox pre-
walls here and for that reason q number Of those
who have heretofore spent the Summer at oul
hotels and boarding houses are afraid to venture
out. We deny, most positively the existence o
the disease in Towsontown at this, or any otneI
time, and have the authority of the physician:
for saying that the country is proverbially
healthy. IT'S true that about two months age
there was one colored man took the disease and
died, and after his death and burial the house iH
which he lived-a small frame structure-wa;
burnt down, this doing away with any possible
ty OF its spreading The disease. There has been
no other case here and we do not know of onC
in the county. Those who have an idea of com
ing ont to spend the Summer in this pleasan
town can do so with perfect safety and withou
any fear of contracting this loathsome disease.

The CARROLL COUNTY MURDER -Thscase which
has been exciting so much interest for the pas
three weeks, was concluded on Saturday last
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says;
The protracted trial Of Joseph Davis for the
murder of Abraham L. Lynn, at his MILL on the
9Th of last April, was concluded to-day. The
jury, after being out over twenty-four hours, were
sent for by the court, at about 5 o'clock p. m
and upon being questioned, the foreman stated
that there Yves no probability of their being able
TO agree upon verdict The jury was then dis
charged by Judge Miller. The counsel for the
defense stated that they would inform the cour
on Monday in what way they will proceed with
the case.
81; is known that the jury stood eight for ac
quittal three for murder in the first degree and
one for murder in the second degree This was
a surprise TO the whole community when known,
as report had been circulated that the jury stood
eleven for conviction and one for acquittal and
much Indignation was expressed at the conduct
of the one obstinate juror-the public sentiment
being almost unanimous against the prisoner. r.
Ii is not known what action the counsel for de-
Tense will take in the case-whether they will
continue the case to the next term, or have il re-
moved to an adjoining county, or make applca-
ton that both prisoners be admitted 10 bail or
not II is not probable that the case will be i'm
mediately tried second time, and it is possible
something may occur in the interval to throw
some light upon the guilt or innocence Of the
prisoner The murder was planned and executed
with consummate skill without leaving direct
clue to the perpetrators.
''The State has not indicated what action ii
will take in the case of j. Hamilton Shew, in
dicted as accessory to the murder of Mr.. Lynn"
On Tuesday last, Ex-Judge Maulsoy, one OF
Davis counsel stated to the Court that be had
conferred with the States attorney in respect to
the removal OF the case to some other county,
and had suggested Baltimore county, provided
the court would so order but the States ator-
ney, after consulting with the Attorney General
by telegraph, having dissented to the proposal,
the matter was deferred for day or two. The
place of removal will be determined, or some
other disposition made of the case within the few
days the court will remain in session.
