Mary Harden, living at No. 10
Wagon Alley, Baltimore, made u
novel attempt to commit suicide
last Friday evening, by setting
fire to her clothing. She had just
quarreled with her beau, and was
infiamed with jealousy, and SO re-
solved to make sacrifice Of her
self on the altar of love. She set
fire to her clothing, but just as she
was getting pretty we'll enveloped
in flames and began TO experience
what dreadful torture it was to
burn alive, she suddenly changed
her mind and cried out Justify for
help. She was heard by her sup
posed unfaithful lover. who was
in another apartment ofthe house.
and he, running in hasti v, sub
dued the flames before the fickle-
minded suicide had been much
injured.

4 friend has handed Us Il COM
munication purpoting 10 come
from one, nj. j. Roberts, New
York drummer, which attacks the
theory of the Independent about
home protection. We know moth
ing about Mr.. Roberts, nor the
parties he represents. In addition
TO being a. drummer he may be,
for all we know, a New York
pick pocket or bank burglar. He
was reported to as az being drunk
part Of the time he was here, and
we have no doubt from the style
of his communication he found a
genial companion and adviser.
So far as the Independent Print
ing Company is concerned, we
have only to say that it is not com
posed of one man, but that over
a dozen Of our best citizens are in
terested in it. So far as home pro-
lection is concerned, its editors en-
deavor to practice what they
preach, and upon the subject Of
home protection they simply de-
mand that all of our citizens
should do as they would be done
by, viz: if men engaged in busi-
ness here expect to be patronized
by the people here, they
must in turn give The peo-
pie the benefit of whatever
work they may want executed.
That is to say, if you want labor
or merchandise get it at home and
thereby build up your own town.
So far as monopolizing the print
ing business is concerned we have
only to say that the Independent
Printing Company has consider
able money invested in type and
machinery in order to try to ac-
commodate our people. 1t is a
part of the business of the town
and contributes to the taxes of the
town, county and State. New
York printing offices do not fur
nisi our hands with a living, nor
do they contribute to the revenues
of the State, county or town. We
sag noao TO oil, If you do not
a0dnt the independent to do .vour
printing, !gosto ssthe other office; but
by GI means haze your a0ork done
n Mdrtinsburg.
1t is not our intention to reply
further to the person who calls
himself NJ. j. Roberts as he
skulked and left the town long
before his communicates APP
peared, and it is hard TO tell
where or what he is engaged in
now. We opine however that
newspaper men everywhere will
keep a look out for him.

Among the many pleasant epis-
odes which may occur in the career
ola warm hearted Englishman,
we may note that Of Mr.. George
Henry Wildes as being of particu-
lar interest. Having been once
married, and not finding his do
nestle tie to his liking. he rudely
broke II by divorce, and some time
time thereafter meeting Miss Nut
tall, fascinating young lady of
-, he was not slow in assuring
her that he lived for her alone.
Miss NuttaIl believed this, and
was happy in the thought, AS her
darling George said that he had an
income of seven thousand dollars
year. The usual burning epistIes
were written. Suddenly one fine
morning the suitor met his former
wife again, was enchanted by her
appearance, fell in love with her a
second time, and FASTENED away
to have the nuptial knot re-tied.
Miss Nuttall was duly informed OF
this melancholy proceeding, and
she notified her solicitor, who
began an action for breach Of
promise against the twice married
George, and the jury found that
Miss Nuttall had suffered to the
extent of fifteen thousand dollars.

ty, but because their tendency is to de-
celve the settler, and involve the Com
pany in two-fold difficulties. IF the
courts set aside the provisions Of the
bill fixing the maximum prices of GER
tain lands, it win create bitter preju-
dice against the company, and the abb
solute certainty Of litigation is never
very inviting, either to companies or in
dividuals. Hence, in our view ofthis
matter, such an excresence was not only
superfluous, but entangling and oppress-
ing. Let the company, or companies
accepting the grant, whoever, or what
ever they are, have the same free and
uutrammeled, just as it came from the
United States, and with it let them be
required to build the land grant road,

be allowed to sell their lands when they
please, to whom they please, and for
what price they please. Yes, if the work
goes on, we trust that future legisla-
ture will free companies from any and
all entangling alliances, and unjust or
invidious determinations. No other
grant was ever loaded with any such
obnoxious provisions, and why should
this be an exception?
We make these demands in no CON-
planning spirit, for we have no very
strong predictions for either of the COM
panies; but we demand justice to them
as we'll as to all. We bid them speed
with their enterprise and trust it will
be profitable to them, and useful to the
