Emmett 4 Gayton's Panorama of Ireland
and Comedy Company exhibited in this city
on Monday and Tuesday evenings to fair
audiences. The description of the various
scenes represented by the panorama was
very interesting, and the acting Of Shandy was
good; his songs and witticisms were new and
brilliant. The acting of Miss Duane as Mollie
the Irish lass, was excellent, and both Of them
won the need Of applause.

DOUBLE PIpE CREEK ITEMs.--Jesse Angel,
son Of Mr.. Uriah and Mahala Angel, who so
mysteriously disappeared on Friday, April
18th, between and o'clock, was found by
Mr.. George Dern, on Saturday, May 10th,
hanging TO some rocks on the breast work Of
Mr.. Joel Myers mill dam. Thus it appears
Jesse had fallen into Big Pipe Creek and was
carried into the deep waters Of Mr.. Myers
dam during the night Of Friday the 10th, (the
general raking Of the bed Of the creek only
commenced on Saturday, the l2th,) where 1t
remained in its watery grave 20 days, but is
now recovered and deposited in the burying
ground attached to the Lutheran Church in
Taneytown. Distressing as the circumstance
was, and still is to the parents, they now have
the consolation to know where the body rests,
while the immortal spirit is where Jesus said,
"0f such is the Kingdom of Heaven"
Peach trees are in full bloom in some lots
on the highest peaks Of the mountain, around
Sabillasville, Frederick county, as well as on
some high ridges in Carroll county; but on
the levels none are found, but the trees nearly
all killed, many Of which are already cut down,
in order to prepare the ground properly for
replanting The extensive, and historic peach
orchard on Gettysburg battlefield is without
a blossom. Neither are there any blossoms
in Mr.. d. Longs orchard, Washington co.
Corn planting is now vigorously prosecuted
by the farmers.

FISR WHEAr.-A few evenings since we
took ramble with Col VIM. A. McKellip,
to look at his three-acre lot Of Fnltz Wheat,
the seed Of which he obtained from Hon.
Frederick Watts, Commissioner of Agricnl.
ture, grown on his farm in Pennsylvania, the
first season after importation, which yielded
$50 bushels Of cleaned wheat, from nine acres,
or 40 bushels to the acre. Col. McKellip ex.
poets to exceed that yield, il no disaster be-
falls his crop, and indeed, from present pros.
poets he is likely to do so. 1t is the finest lot
Of wheat that has met our eye this season.
The largest crop we have yet heard Of, was
that raised by Mr.. David Knots, in the up
per part of Talbot county, Md. just across
Tuckahoe creek, from Hillsborough, few
years ago, which yielded ~ bushels to the
acre. We shall be gratifed if Col. McKellip
exceeds even that crop. Talbot county has
always been noted for its fine wheat

TIE Iron Age notes the existence Of an
apparently well founded rumor, to the
effect that heavy firm in Sheffield,
England. extensively engaged in the manu-
facture Of steal, are about to transfer their
business to this country. The firm have
been making steel from ores imported from
Spain, but the cost Of freight has been So
heavy, and wages and fuel so high, that
they have been unable to compete in our
market, where their business connection
lies. Hence they have decided to transfer
their operations to this country, where they
propose to do the smelling and converting
into steel under conditions more favorable
than exist in England. We bid them
welcome to Virginia-the state above all
others to which they should come. We
will agree not to call them s'carpet-
baggers," or any other naughty names, il
they will only come here.

! AND now the irrepressible conflict has
reached Brazil; in which country strug-
gle prevails between the civil and ecclesi-
astical powers, quite similar in the princi-
pies involved and the incidents with which
it has been accompanied, to that by which
Germany is agitated. The immediate oc-
casion of the quarrel was the attempt of
the Roman Catholic bishops to enforce
the bull recently issued by the Pope ex-
communicating the Free Masops. Free
Masonry has always been bugbear with
Rome; but the order has stood W. man
fully for the liberty Of individual conscience
in all ages. For this it deserves all praise.

THERE is good deal of miscellaneous
idiosyncracy in the world, but it is not so
easy to see its value when one man is SEN
fenced to three years in Sng-Sng for muir

public funds. 1t shows that human life
has only one-fourth the intrinsic value of

THE people of New Mexico, so largely
OF Spanish descent. have been to great
degree suspicious and jealous of Americans,
preferring to have them kept out of the
territory. But there seems to be gradual
coming around, as was evidenced bv the
large majority given to Hon. S. b.
Elkins as delegate to Congress over one
Of their own blood; and we now observe
mat the two most prominent candidates
LOT presiding officers Of the Territorial
Legislature are both "carpet-baggers',
from "the states" This is an evidence
we take it, of an improvement both in
the quality of the Spanish blood in New
Mexico and the character of the immi-
grants to that distant territory.

Mr.. MoRRftL, Of Vermont, has intro
auced in The Senate bill for the resump-
ton of specie payments and the return to
free banking, with variety of more or
less obnoxious features in 1t which we
have not time to notice to-day. Senator
Morrill, is half century behind the finan-
cial lighthouse. To resume specie pay
ments at this time will necessitate the
borrowing by the government of not less
than two hundred millions in gold, and
the interest on this will have to be paid by
the people IN addition to the other burdens
they are now carrying. The attempt to
precipitate specie payments is measure
purely in the interests Of capital against
labor, and cannot be effected without such
shrinkage in values as will bring univer-
sal ruin to all our productive enterprises.
We are in favor of free banking under
proper restrictions, and at the pro-
per time, but what is 4 wanted
now is stability and elacticity in our
present system. - We are also in favor
Of return to specie payments in the
shortest possible time consistent with
the business interests of the country.
But the time has not come when this
can be safely done, under any such bill as
that introduced by Mr.. Morrill, There
are Zoo many features in it looking to the
interests of capital, to make it safe for
labor to embark upon the experiment.

JUDGING from the more recent dis
patches, the crazy streaks Of the Havanese
are disappearing. and the sober second
thought returning to the sick patient. The
Virginius is likely to be quietly delivered
up after all the faniaronade and buster

return to good sense, and this of itself is
the most astounding bit of intelligence that
has vet come from the island. rcd Hls
