A STRANGE MEETING In the New York
Dispatch, of recent date, is an incident
growing ont of the rebellion under the above
heading and the Journal referred TO relates
how, on an evening or two previous, good
looking man, laborer, about thirty years OF
age, took the cars at Centre Street Depot
Newark, for New York There was bu. one
vacant scat in the car that lie catered, and
that was by the side Of a handsome and ele-
gantly dressed lady. The man sat down, and
after his fair companion had removed her
veil, he was surprised to recognize in her his
wife, whom he had not seen for more than
twelve years. The lady threw her arms around
his neck and kissed him tenderly, and mutual
explanations followed.
1t seems they had been married just before
the breaking out of the war, at the home of
the lady in Missouri. Her father was the
owner ola large tract Of land, bat had only
little money. He joined the rebel cause
and the daughter also warmly adhered TO the
opinions of her father. Her husband, how
ever, was decided Union man. She abused
him violently on account Of his principles, and
told him if he sided with the 'Bloody-Yan-
KEGS" he might leave the place, and she never
wished to see his face again. lie took her
at her word, and at night left her and joined
Fremont's army as private. lie was several
times taken prisoner, and as often ESCAPED to
our lines. He pressed on with Sherman to
the sea, and at the conclusion of his term Of
enlistment joined New York regiment, and
nv this means, at the end of the war, found
his way to Newark, where he has since work
ed quietly in factory.
His wiGe's father was killed at Vickshurg,
and she was left possessor of his nncultvated
farms. She supported herscl: by working in
millinery establishment in St. Ions, till
after the close of the war Her land rose in
value, and she sold it for q good price, and
realized about So, 600. With this sum she
started millinery of her own in st Louis.
and succeeded splendidly She is rcputcd
worth $40. 900 or 500, 900. She was on her
way to New York to buy goods when she met
the man whom she had imposed long ago
dead Remorscful for driving him away, she
had refused all offers Of marriage. The joyous
meeting caused the husband to forgive the
wfe's error, and present of a new suit Of
clothes, diamond ring and a splendid gold
watch, when they arrived in New York, serv-
ed materially 10 increase his respect and af
fiction for his long-lost wife. They are now
stopping at fashionable hotel, joyous over
the accident that reunited them.

ROCKVILLE BRASS BANp.--''lle that hath no
music in his soul is fit for treason, stratagem
and spoils," said Shakespeare, and believing
it true, we desire to say word in favor of the
Rockville Brass Banda company of young
gentlemen who have devoted their time and
money to the formation of a society and the
procurement of instruments. BY death and
removal the Band is now deficient in member
ship, and the young gentlemen still on the
roll are DESTROYS Of increasing their numbers,
and extend an invitation to such others as may
wish to unite with them, to attend a meeting
of the Band on Saturday evening next, at I

may succeed. A good baud Of Musicians is u,

WHOLESALE HANGING There are at this
time in the prisons Of New York, some twenty
or thirty prisoners awaiting trial for murder
crime that has grown TO such monsrous
proportions in that city, as TO alarm the entire
community, who are calling loudly for re-
form. In an article on the subject few days
ago. the Herald declared
Murder must be punished as speedily as the
forms OF justice will allow. In the name of n
long suffering community we appeal 20 the
new District Attorney and the new Judges to
see that il is done. Let the next few weeks be
remarkable for the rigors of the law. One afs

THE METROPOLITAN BRANCH RAILRoAD.-T
tion for the past few years, still ''drags its
slow length along" so slow indeed, that no
one can tell when it will be completed, or how
long it will take to complete il. From present
indications we think it can be safely assumed
that a portion Of it-that part reaching to
Rockvilc-will be completed towards the close
of the present or early in The beginning of the
next century. BY that time il is presnmabe
the road will be under the management Of an
other President, who will take more interest
in the management Of its affairs AT present,
the force employed, seems more like recon-
notering party, moving from one point on the
road TO another, and not much is done at any
point. The ballasling OF the road had been
completed to within mile of this place, when
suddenly, on Tuesday, that part of the work
was suspended, and the force ordered at or
near Gaithersburg, to continue laying the
track How long they will remain at this part OF
the work, we are unable 10 say, and when the
ballasting will be completed 10 Rockville none
can tell. Really, it is about time that this
work was completed. There can be no excuse
for this long delay. The patience of our pto-
pie is becoming exhausted, and Mr. Garrett
the President is gaining no credit as a man o.
energy, at least so far as the Metropolitan B
Il. K. is concerned. We have no disposition
to make unnecessary complaint, but the people
Of Montgomery have looked SO long for the
completion of this road. and looked forward
with fatlering hopes to the advantages TO be
derived from the road that they feel now thai
their interests are being triaed with.

The Labor system.

Owing to the uncertainty Of securing the
labor necessary to successfully prosecute their
farming operations, the planters Of Queene
Annes county, Nd, about year ago, formed
an organization to procure foreign labor, and
the result Of the endeavor isthus stated by the
Centrevile correspondent of the Baltimore San:
''For several years past the unreliablity of
farm labor has greatly embarrassed us, but a
German immigration to our county has COM
menced, and gives us brighter hopes for the
future. Some sevcnty-hve or eighty Germans
have been recently hired in New York, and
have thus far proved steady and reliable la
borors. Others have been sent for, who will
soon arrive, and we assured by the agent
who employs them that any required number
can be obtained. They come in families, and
while the men quickly learn our mode of doing
heavy work, the women are equally apt and
ready in household kitchen or dairy. IF our
present anticipations are realized, This imui-
grafton will soon effect most desirable i'm
provemcnt in agricultural affairs"
That's the way to do it. This waiting upon
the negro who has heretofore been the main
help upon the farm, begging him to work and
paying him too, will not be borne with by the
independent farmers of the State. Negro labor,
at no time now, is reliable, and he will leave
at the busiest time, If he thinks he can get a
Better job. The farmers of the county have it
in their power to remedy these Inconvenience
and secure better and more reliable labor, if
they will substitute the white man for the
black The Germans MS a race, are a thrifty
industrious people, while the negro is lazy and
improvident, and generally steals about as
much as he earns. The jas throughout the
State each have their quota of colored crini-
nals-commited, mostly, for larccny, and by
some, doubtless, for the purpose Of procuring
winters supply of provision at the public
expense, thus greatly adding 10 the burdens of
taxation, without producing a corresponding
benefit, Such citizens are proftioss, and
great good would be accomplished by the sub
stitution Of white labor while it would act as
q stimulus to the coorcd laborer TO become u
better citizen and better laborer The time is
coming when white labor will take the place
of the present unreliable system, and this move
ment of the planters in Queene Anne'S is an
evidence of the fact.

ALL PEOPLE would undoubtedly prefer a fine
head of hair grown upon their own heads, to
being bald or wearing false hair, and ii has
been the study of many of our learned men to
find remedy to restore the hair when it has
fallen out and renew its color after it has be-
come gray. Such remedy has been found,
and is now offered to the world under the name
of qall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Remover,
and to verify this statement, read the follow
ing:

my head was perfectly smooth, and it is COM
