A great many Of our friends, in former
years, had the pleasure of an acquaintance
with Mr.. Wm. P. Wood then the keeper OF
the Old Capitol Prison, and will no doubt be
very sorry to learn that he has at last come to
grief. He has lately been amusing himself by
dealing in fraudulent United States bonds,
and one of his confederates was arrested in
New York some days ago for passing one, but
when the true facts of the case came out, he
was discharged and Wood himself arrested -
Thus one by one the thieves and scoundrels
who held high positions under the government
during the war are getting their just deserts.

for the past four weeks at The Maryland lnsti-

resulting in favor of the Weed Machine which
was awarded the Gold Medal over the W heel

already pointed to such result, so the ver-
dict was not altogether a surprise to those who
have watched the struggle from the beginning.
The Howe exhibited some good qualities, yet
its more cumbrous proportions and reduced

that the real conflict would be between the
Weed and Wheeler & Wilson. 1t seemed to
be an even race upon light work, both ma

it came to variety or heavy work, the Weed
astonished every one by flying through every
thing before it, passing from dainty rufle
through thirty thicknesses of dressed muslin,
