A HAPPY GOLDEN WEDDING Some time
las, month the venerable President Of the Mu
tual Fire Insurance Company Of Montgomery
county, Edward Stabler, took occasion, in writ.
ing to gentlemen of this county oo business,
to mention some remarkable and interesting
facts connected with the celebration of his ''gol
den Wedding" which had then recently taken
place. We quote from Mr.. Sahler's letter,
which, by the way, was not written for publ
cation. He says:
Two or three weeks ago, my wife aud L
celebrated our golden wedding - having our
ten children, all living aud all present, Ia son,
his wife and three children, coming from Cali
fornia, where he has resided for tweuty-tour
years, and two other children trou the valley
of the Mississippi,) six childreu-in-law, and
eleven grand -children-27 descendants all
seated at the same table to due, and at the
old Homestead, the place Of my birth, and
where all our children were born. y
Mr.. Staber is in his S0th, and Mrs. S. in
her 18th year. Probably not Que couple 10 one
hundred thousand, live to see asscmb around
them so many desccudeuls. The oldest son is
IS, and the youngest 81 years; and all respect
able aud useful members of socey-showlng
that the precepts and examples of the parents
have not been lost upon the children. The
'old Homestead is at Sandy Spring, Mout-
gomery county, Md-Prt Tobacco Times.

A NOVEL CASE In the Court of Appeals
sitting al Richmond, yesterday, as we learn
from the State Journal, the counsel for Joseph
\. Blair presented petition to the court for a
writ of habeas corpus. Blair was convicted by
jury in the Hastings Court Of grand larceny,
aud the jury ascertained the term of his i'm
prisonment in the penteDtiary at three years,
but sentence was not pronounced by the court
at the time, and before it was pronounced Gov.
Kemper on the recommendation of the jury,
and owing to the peculiar circumstances Of the
case, pardoned Blair. Judge Guigon refuses
to release Blair, holding that the Governor had
no right to pardon him until sentence was pro.
nouuecd by the court. Blair's counsel now ap-
ply to the Court OF Appeals for this writ to de.
termiue this question, and Blair will have to
remain in Jail until the court can dispose Of his

DISTRICT TAXES The cry still goes cut

BILE fact, but that the fault rests with the cii-
zens aud not their representatives, will be seen
by the following statement, taken from the
books OF the tax collector: Memorandum Of
