Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1873-06-05

We were informed few days since by
an employee on our railroad that aportion
of the buildings at Townsend Street Sta
ton, Baltimore, will be taken down and
removed to Port Tobacco Station, to be
used in the erection of warehouse at this
point.
A distressing occurrence took place cle
day last week near Bryantown. Two sons
of Mr.. James Fl. Montgomery, in attempt
ing to jump horse they were riding over
a fence, were violently thrown to the
gound. One of the boys received injuries
from which he died the day after, and the
other unfortunate young man, we learn, is
now lying dangerously i'll and his death
is expected at any moment.
On recent trip on the railroad we no
ticed brick yard in successful operation
at Mattawoman Station. This looks like
business, and in connection with other
Improvement enterprises noticeable along
the line, speaks we'll for the thrift and in
dustry of our people. Mr.. Farrall has
moved into the fine store at La Plata, and
from evidences appears to be doing pros
porous business. It always gives us plea
sure to note such instances of progress.
A large amount of freighting is being
done at Chapel Point. The moderate
charges made by the steamers plying to and
from Baltimore, taken in connection with
the commodious warehouse at the Point,
are controlling inducements to shippers
to dispatch their produce from the Point.
The merchants of this town we believe
without exception receive the bulk of
their freight by the water, instead of by
rail. Freight will go by that channel
which affords the most convenient as well
as cheapest facilities.
The. Grand ury colts of last term gave
a dinner during Court at the Brawner
House. The Judges, members of the Bar
and other officers of the Court, were pres
ent by invitation and the enjoyment was
general.
The Grand Jury found true bills against
several of our most respectable dealers in
general merchandise for trading without
license after the list of May last. 1t seems
these gentlemen had all notified Clerk
HUNT by actual application that they
wanted licenses and would take them out
and pay for them during Court, which was
SO near at hand. This was matter of
convenience to themselves, as they had to
come to. Court anyhow, and living long
distances they wanted to make one jour
ney do for all. The entry of their appli-
cations on the Clerks license book was
deemed insufficient, as the licenses had
not actually been issued. Feeling sure
there was no intention or design on the
part of these gentlemen to evade the law,
the States Attorney has united with the
Grand Jurymen in asking thesGovernor to
direct molLe prosequi to be entered in each
case, the parties Of course to take out
their licenses, as required, from the list of
May. We will be pleased to hear that the
Governor has favorably considered the
recommendation.
The political Shack Nasty Jims of the
county are very quiet yet awhile, and the
political lava beds have not yet been dis
turbed.' This we really think very wise.
After harvest we think it ample time
Old tangle-foot Bourbon was at dis
count during Court time and the obliging
shirt-sleeved gentlemen behind the narrow
slab counters looked woefully sepulchral |;
but "Never mind, sirs," as the ladies say,
of course.

The wrong jackson was accused by
some of getting 500 at Chapel Point
We know it, because he told us that his
wife, after she read the Times gave him
the devil. Madam, you were mistaken.
Always be sure you are right, then give it
to him.
