him from interfering with :
officers of the turnpike. Mr.. MIN
known, was the old president holding MAJOR
ity of stock, which he attempted to sub-divide
and thereby defeat the will of nearly every
stakeholder in Baltimore county. An injunc-
ton having been laid on him to prevent his
voting his stock an appeal was taken to
the Court of Appeals where he was de-
feated. Being in possession OF the gate
houses, he assaulted DIR. F. W. Patterson,
(of course through his gate keepers,) while
passing through the gate, in spite of the Doctor
having his wife and family with him, and stop
ped the teams of Messrs. Slingluff, Ridgely and
others whom he thought ought to be punished.
His gate keepers were arrested and the new
Board took quiet possession. Our Court laid
an injunction on him tc restrain him from the
further indulgence of his Modoc propensities !;
but the Court mistook its man; he left our quiet
jurisdiction, and like free and independent
Modoc, collected force of Jail birds and roughs
from the Sth ward and with them attem pied to
get possession of the gate. The neighborhood
was aroused however, and from every nook and
corner the people came together to the Lava
Bed. Sheriff Robinson was taken from the arms
of his spouse at two o'clock on Thursday morn
ing to sustain the Court which through VIM.
Risteau was ably done, and at five o'clock on
Thursday morning the Sth ward surrendered.
The Court House party having won the day
the Judge issued an attachment Tor contempt
against the said Webb and others and now,
where before was warlixe ardor, is humble sup
plcation.
The killed and wounded on the side of the
new Board is the President, DR.. F. W. Patter-
son, arrested for perjury Jas. L. Ridgely, Jr
Jonas Edelin, and T. c. Slngluff for rioting, all
at the instance of captain Jack" Webb afore-
said.
The fate of the great Indian warrior is un-
known as yet. The Judge and others seem de-
sirous to punish him severely, but several gem
tlemen of the Peace Commission, with Phil.
L. Moore at the head, are trying to save his
life. MORE ANON.

NATURAL Flow OF GAs-W. W. WoodT1n, OF
Newtown, Pa, recently made visit to friends
in northern Ohio He informs us that at PLANES
ville Lake county, he was at the palatial resi-
dence of Col Easement, which is lighted and
heated with gas which flows from the earth at a
short distance from the house. 1t had been no.
ticed that in digging wells in the vicinity gas
was frequently found, and Col. Easement, who
is gentleman of ample fortune, concluded ina.
he would test the matter fully. So he engaged
man to bore 700 feet. A pipe nine inches in
diameter was driven about fifty feet, when it
struck rock The pipe was then cleared out and
the boring began. At the depth OF about 200
feet gas was struck in considerable quality
This was at once made use OF to feed the fire I'M
der the boiler of the engine with which they
were drilling, when the consumption OF coal was
diminished seventy five per cent. The gas in
creased until no coal was used. By this time
the depth of $50 feet had been reached, at which
point the boring stopped, &c he ma,
was sufficient %

How long are the people of Baltimore
county to expend their thirteen thousand dol
lars annually for-the purpose of giving the city
an opportunity ofreaping the benefit oft? The
laying out of streets around the city is a sort
of admission that it will not be long before we
shall see it walking out. But perhaps our ca
pacious hearted Greeleyites intend having Tow
sontown swallow up the city of monuments.
Towsontown-as every body knows-has all

The Delaware Peach growers have been
engaged in getting up 'corner" in the peach
orchard. They have an association. That as
ISOLATION has been in the habit of reporting
the approximate number Of baskets of peaches
that will likely be produced for market 1t
appears that last year in order to effect the
market they reported much smaller quantity
than they expected would be marketed. This
year they have done the same thing but on
such an extensive scale that those wEo have
good opportunities of knowing detected the
fraud and exposed the collision. This ring has
evidently been im-peached.

"A plan of towing canal boats by steam has
lately been matured in the State of New York
and it will ere long be put into operation on
the New York and Erie canal. By this means
one steamboat will draw a train of canal boats

expense of transportation will be reduced more
than one-half by this operation.

gs~ Young Walworth has taken up his resi-
dence in Sing Sing. How long he will occupy
quarters in that classic edifce so majestically
located on the Hudson can only be determined
by the amount of firm opposition that New
York's Governors manifest towards the array
of false sympathy and paid for argument that
friends and lawyers can marshal to procure
him a pardon. He is now where he justly be
longs. considerate public should not dis
turb his residence or prevent his supporting
himself by making shoes.

Sun PRINTING ON FRUIT Boys and girls, if
you wish to astonish any members of the family
or any coming guests by some day allowing
them to discover their initials neatly printed on
a pear peach or APPLE as it hangs on its branch,
this is the way to carry out your plan: Just be-
fore the fruit ripens cut the desired letters from
sheet of thin, tough paper then paste them
on the side of the fruit most exposed to the sun,
and when in course of time you remove the pa
per from the ripe surface you will find the let
tiers distinctly marked upon it.

POETRY AND ADvERTIsING.-Poetry and adj
vertising seem to have become blended, Gas it
were." Ordinary prose has ceased to have the
power to invest with proper attractiveness the
announcements of vendors. Great emergencies
bring out great minds. Hence the necessities
of the advertiser have evolved the poet This,
for example, of a tailor, who, spurnng prose,
"drops into poetry" like Wegg:
OH come into the garden, Maud,
And sit beneath the rose,
And me prance around the BEDS
Dressed in my Sunday clothes.
Oil come and bring your uncles, Maud, =
Your sisters and your aunts
And tell them johnson made my coat
My waistcoat and my pants.
Equally fanciful and suggestive is this
Gayly young Ferguson
Bought his Cigar
Bought it at Mulligan's,
Where the best are.
When he wants fne-cut, or
Snuff for his nose,
Gayly young Ferguson
Purchases those.
More substantial, however, is the following
where the minging of mackcrel and emotion,
cheese and affection, is really sweet:
Oh! say not love you because the molasses
You purchased at Simpsons golden and clear;
The strip, the sugar, the jelly in glasses
The crackers. the mack'rel, know, were not dear.
But when you came to me with Simpsons smoked sal
mon,
And showed me his samples of Limburger cheese,
felt that his claim to be cheap not CANNON;
| loved YOU and said So dear Jane on my knees

&-An exchange tells good story about a
clergyman who lost his horse on a Saturday
evening. After hunting with boy until after
midnight, he gave it up in despair. The next
day, somewhat detected at his loss, he went into
the pulpit, and took for his text the following
passage from Job: "Oh, that knew where

his thought, cried out, 81 know where he is

A DISTRESSING CAsE.-On Tuesday last two
sons of Mr.. VIM. II. Smith, residing near Church
Hill, and aged respectively about IA and 10
years, started in a carriage to Church Hill
When they came within half mile OF the vii
lage the horse which they were driving became
frightened and ran away, throwing one OF the
boys out and breaking his collar bone. The
horse in his fright ran at full force down the
hill known as "Medical HILL" near the village,
and being unable to follow the curve of the
road ran headlong against pear tree ut the
foot of the hill and so injured himself that he
died the next day. The sudden stoppage of
the carriage on one side of the hill capsized it,
completely demolishing it and throwing the
other young man out, somewhat, though not
materially, injuring him. Some thoughtless
person hearing a garbled account of the af-
fair, repaired to Mr.. Smiths residence (he be-
ing absent) and informed Mrs. Smith that her
horse had run away and killed himself and
both her children. The shock was so great that
her mind gave way under it and she became
insane and wandered off When found she was
out in a woods wondering about with grief and
insane She was taken home, her children
presented to her, and she, upon seeing that they
were not dead as she had heard, became calm
and apparently rational for few moments, but
soon became as bad as ever, and at the last &C
counts she had not recovered, although every
effort was made by her physicians to restore
her mind and health.-C entreUile (Md.) Citizen,

The Democrats are terribly afraid that
they may be thrashed soundly this fall. Then
let us show them that their fears are not in
vain,
Why is it that our county expenses have
doubled in ten years? Is it because the modern
disciples of Horace Greeley show wonderful
facilities for doubling on us?
The Allen county (0hio) Democrats have
come to the conclusion that the hated Radicals
must be beaten. To do this they think it is
necessary to fling away their name. That is
the best thing they have.
The Liberal Republican State Central Com
mittee of New York is to meet on the 3lst inst.
1t seems as if they are running two machines
in that State without having anything with
which to oil either of them.
Does anybody know what the old, spawned,
ring boned Democracy processes for its princi-
Piles now Its last platform-lIorace Greeley
lis dead. 1t persists in being alive yet 1t
rebels against death. Its ruling passon-re-
belion-is strong in the hour Gifts dissolution.
Secretary Richardson has decided that the
back pay of Congressman left untouched in the
Treasury is perpetual debt against the United
States unless those whose it is under the law
dispose of It. By this il can be seen that any
one who does not desire the money thus ap-
propriated must prove his sicerity by ordering
it returned to the Treasury. Some folks have
had some such idea that if they did not take
the money out of the Treasury that would re-
lieve them from any responsibility in the
premises.
