u. 8. Mail Robbery.

A young man, named Guy, employed in
the store of Mr.. Hawley, postmaster at the
head of st. Clements Bay, and acting him
self, it is supposed, as deputy postmaster,
has been detected in a U. S. Mail robbery.
1t seems that certain parties, residing in
the Bedlam Neck section of Chaptico dis
trict, having occasion to transmit money
by letter to relations in the West, used the
agency of the U. S. Mail for the purpose.
The letter was mailed at Milestown and
while in hGnsjtu through Hawleys office,
Guy, discovering thatit contained money,
purloined it, appropriating its contents,
some ifty-one dollars. Strange to say, he
did not at once destroy the letter, but ap-
pears to have taken it to the store of Mr..
Herbert, near his own place of residence
and thrown it in the stove, There being
little or no flame in the stove at the time
the letter was not consumed, and it was
soon afterwards discovered by customer
of Mr.. Herbert while re-starting the fire
Being already broken open, the letter was
read the Bedlam Neck parties were prompt
ly communicated with, the robbery was
traced to Guy, he was taxed with it, &C
knowledge it, and restored the money to
the proper parties. These are the partic-
ulars as they have reached us. AS we 60
to press it is reported, that Guy, at the
time of his detection, restored other mon
les which he had obtained in the same
way, and that he had absconded for parts
unknoWn.-BeGcOn.

Brief Locals.

We copy the following brief "locals''
from the Hu'atingto'sian of the 10th instant
The travel over the main stem of the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, through
this place, is quite heavy, and there is a
great deal of freight being carried down
the line.
Two car loads of laborers, for the South
ern Maryland Railroad, went down to
Brandywine City last Saturday.
The mails are now carried to Upper
Marlboro on the railroad.
Brandywine City makes fine appear
ance on map.
The Prince Georgian thinks that its mail
arrangements are improved. It would not
think so much of the matter if it knew
that the bag that is closed at p. m. in
Marlboro lays in Huntington over night.
Last Wednesday night, at the hotel at
Cox's Station, Mr.. D. H. Carpenter, of
Honover street, Baltimore, was robbed of
a small amount of money, all he had with
him, while asleep and in bed. He had the
money in his stocking, which he had on,
and the person who committed the theft
raised the bed-cloths and turned down the
stocking and took out the money.
The worst post office building in the
United States is located at Upper MARI
boro'.

The Prince Imperial.

The young Prince Napoleon Eugene
Louis Jean Joseph was born ON the 18th
of March, 1856, and is, therefore, now draw
ing toward the completion of his seven
teenth year. While still in arms he was
placed on the muster-ron of the French
Imperial Guards as private in the regi-
ment; for, as it was intended that he should
receive military education and afterward
assume military command, it was de-
signed, as compliment to the army, that
he should, at least nominally, 60 through
all the gradations of the service. When
old enough to begin to learn the military
exercises he was put through them with
other youths of his own age, and in this
way was taught the bayonet and other
drills before he was eight years old. By
this time, too, he had been made a non
commissioned officer of his regiment, and
passed, step by step, through the various
grades toward the rank of colonel. But
while special attention was given to his
military training, his education as citi-
zen was not neglected. Beside the ordi-
nary rudiments of instruction he received
lessons in two or three handicrafts, the
last of which was the setting up of types
in the imperial printing Office Of Paris
The object of this may have been simply
to extend his sphere of knowledge and
enlarge his views in after life; but the a.
bility to earn living like an ordinary in
dividual has before now proved valuable
accomplishment for even the heir to q
throne. It will be remembered that King
c.
early life, pursued for time the calling
of schoolmaster. The young Prince I'm
perial bears the reputation of being intel
ligent, good-tempered, and very much at
tached to his friends. His "baptism offre'
in front of the Prussians was the only re-
markable event of his life. The late Ma
pollen was extremely attached to this his
only son and heir. The boy is not report
ed to possess much force of character, but
the world may be destined to hear from
| him yet.-Neso York Herald.

WThe Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Ameriean says Army cir
cles are somewhat agitated over the bill
just brought forward by Senator Ames.-
In 1865 Congress passed law providing
for four regiments in the regular army, the
enlistments in which to be opened exclu-
siyely to colored men. These regiments
were designed for service In such portions
of the Southern States, where the peculiar
temperament of the black man enabled him
to Withstand more successfully than the
white man the enervating effects of the eli
mate. There are forty regimenta1 organi-
cations in the army, and Mr.. Ames, by his
bill, proposes to do away with the dis
tinctive organization of the four colored
regiments and throw open the whole forty
to the enlistment Of men of that race.

county, well known as Reading Clerk OF
the House of Delegates, has libel suit

HA Bill will be introduced in the
New York Legislature, providing that
murderers who get off on the plea of insan-
ity shall be sentenced for twenty or thirty
years, or some other definite period, to con-
fnement in lunatic asylum. Other States
are preparing to follow in the same track,
and protect their people from the pistols,
knives and clubs ofinsane murderers. The
idea of man being acquitted for murder
On the grounds o. insanity, and turned
loose in the community a sane man in a
few months, is wicked, dangerous farce,
which should be slipped. ''The prisoner
committed the homicide under an uncon-
trollable impulse, said an English attor-
ney to Judge. 'And I have an uncon-
trollable impulse 20 hang him. was the
reply. These Uncomfortable impulse"
criminals, if not hing, should at least be
prevented from doing more bloody mis-
chief in the community.

hSoThe careor of Mrc Tu6ia Sbor,

The career of Mrs. Lydia Sherman
is somewhat extraordinary even for these
days of sensation. According to her own
confession she was born in New Brunswick,
N. j., in 1926, and was early left an orphan.
At the age of seventeen she Joined the
Methodist Church, and at a lovefeast met
her first husband, Edward S. Struck. He
after time became feeble in mind and
unable to work, SO by the suggestion of a
male friend she poisoned him with arsenic,
and also the two younger children, Just by
way of charity, so that "they should not
grow up to life's cares" She moved to
Litchfeld, Conn, and married man nam
ed Dennis Hurlburt; they did not get on
well together, and she poisoned him for
the sake of peace and quietness. Soon af-
ter his death Hunter N. Sherman, of Der
by, Conn.,, was recommended to her as a
gentleman who by skillful management
could be roped into matrimony. She en-
tered his employment as housekeeper, and
finally succeeded in marrying him. He
had two small children whom she took a
dislike to, and as she didn't care to live
with them she poisoned them; she af-
forwards poisoned him also. Last scene
of all which ends this strange, eventful
history is her conviction of manslaughter
for this last poisoning and her sentence to
imprisonment for life. Itmay interest ad-
vocates of that punishment in place of cap
ital to know that criminals regard it with
favor that surpasses theirs, Mrs. Sher-
man received this sentence with the utmost
indifference, and at the close gracefully
bowed her Acknowledgements to the Court

The Wharton Trial.

The twelfth juror was selected on Tues
day last, and the examination of Mr.. Eu-
gene Van Ness, who is alleged to have been
poisoned by Mrs. Wharton, was commenc-
ed. He testified that on several occasions
he had taken wine and beer at Mrs. Whar-
toms, and had Immediately afterwards
rigors and other symptoms altogether I'M
like the attacks of headache to which he
was subject. Mrs. Wharton had on each
occasion invited him to take something,
and the witness was not positive whether
she or one of the servant girls in the house
brought the wine or beer. It was on the
table. He drank and then noticed some
extreme bitterness or some metallic taste,
and was attacked with symptoms that the
State claims could only have come from
the administration of tartar emetic or
strychnine. On Wednesday the cross-ex-
animation of Mr.. Van Ness was completed,
also the examination of Col. II. D. Loney.
The testimony of both these witnesses re-
lates chiefly to the symptoms which at
tended Mr.. Van Ness in his illness, after
drinking the lager beer which Mrs. Whar-
ton gave him. One very important fact
was brought out in Col. Loney's examina-
ton, namely, that the tumbler containing
the sediment supposed to be tartar emetic
was shown to Mr.. Thompson, of the firm
of Andrews s. Thompson, pharmaceutists
of Baltimore city, and afterwards to Prof
Chew, of the Maryland University, both Of
whom applied tests, the result of which
will be given in their testimony. Colonel
Loney says that there was about spoon
tul of this substance in the bottom of the
tumbler. Mrs. Eliza Chubb also gave hel
testimony in chief, and one fact stated by
her which we do not think was brought
out at the former trial seems to bear heavi.
ly against the accused, namely, that Mrs
Wharton tried to persuade Mrs. Chubb to
testify that she (Ars. CO. had bought the
tartar emetic, not from Mr.. Myers, but from
the other clerk at Gosman's-a proposition
which Mrs. Chubb repudiated.-Amer.

HThe st. Mary's Beacon says that ian
appeal had been duly taken by the coun-
sci for the Washington City and Point
Lookout r. r. Company from the order
dissolying the injunction, which restrained
the County Commissioners from rescind-
ing their order of recommendation to said
Company, passed July the 9th, 1872. The
effect of this appeal, we learn, will be to
stop the State Treasurer from subscribing
to the Stock of any other company until
the Court Of Appeals disposes of the case
and we learn further that this officer, acting
under legal advice, has determined to
await the decision of our highest Court
before taking any action in the matter"

The Scene at ChiseIhurst.

A dispatch, dated the 18th instant, to
the Agent of the Associated Press from a
friend of the Imperial family at Chisel-
hurst gives the following description Of
the scene there:
The remains of the late Emperor have
been placed in the coffin. The corpse is
dressed in the uniform of Field Marshal
The upper lip is bare, the moustache hav-
ing been cut off to facilitate the taking Of
a plaster cast. The beard which remains
is brown and bushy. The features are
stern and careworn, and have an expression
of pain. The Grand Gordon Of the Legion
of Honor lies across the breast. The hands,
which are ungloved, are disposed in an
easy and natural manner, the right clasp
ing the left. On the fourth finger of the
left hand is ring with several diamonds,
which was placed there by the Empress.
A small silver cross of exquisite workman
ship lies ON the breast, and on the corpse
are placed three sprigs of holly. Over the
head a crown of yiolets is suspended, and
at the foot of the coffin is the brass camp
bedstead on which the Emperor died.
Seated ON either side at the lower end
of the coffin are priests and religieuse.
The furniture of the room as well as OF
the whole mansion is simple and unosten-
tatious.
The body will lie in state on Tuesday in
the entrance hall of the chapel.
The general public will not be admitted
to view the remains. No change has been
made in the time and place of the funeral
and burial as last announced. The cere-
monies will probably begin about noon on
Wednesday.

A Practical View.

The Richmond Enquirer thinks the chest
way to get out of our present embarrassed
condition would be for every farmer to
come to a fixed determination to buy no
more fnery for his daughters on credit, to
make his sons support themselves, to hire
but few laborers on his farm, Ono more than
necessary in connection with the family
labor,) to sell all the land that he cannot
conveniently cultivate, and to get out of
debt as rapidly as possible" This is ex-
actly what is needed in some parts of Vir-
ginia, at least, as we'll as in some parts of
Maryland. Farmers may not only get out
of debt in this way, but, persevering in it,
will in tirAe get rich. Indeed, to be. out
of debt is richness itself-Bah. San.

Way to Train Fuschins.

When slip has grown six or eight in
ches high nip out the top down to the last
set of leaves; it will throw out branches
on each side. Let these grow eight or ten
inches, then nip them out as before; the
tops of each branch, when grown the same
height as the Others, nip out again; then
procure stick the size Of your finger eigh.
teen inches in length; take hoopskirt wire
Irvine back and forth alternately, through
holes made in the stick equal distances
apart; place this firmly in the pot back o:
the plant, tie the branches to it, and yor
will have, when in flower, beautiful and
very graceful plant. Having one trained
in that way last season, it was the admira
ton of all who saw it.-iSmaaU Fruit Re

Sudden Death.

The Marlboro Gazette of the 9Th instan
says: eve learn that Mr. Marcus DuVal,
gentleman well known to our citizens, dice
suddenly at his residence in Evansville dis
trict, on Wednesday last. He had beer
for sometime in precarious state ofhealth
and his death, though sudden, was not un
expected by his friends.
Mr.. DuVal possessed some good traits
of character; and his eccentrieities were
we believe, attributed more to his heac
than heart. His neighbors and friends
will, we are sure,
BE to his virtues ever kind,
Aid to his failings ever blind"
