HlGHwArMAN SHOT DEAD.-Last Tuesday
evening says the Lancaster Examiner, high
wayman VAS shot dead by man named Kel-
Ter, a horse-drover, a short distance from
Mount JOY, under the following circumstances;
Mr.. Keller was in Mount JOY and had drawn
$500 from the bank at that place, his business
transactions keeping him in the village until
after dark. He was riding toward his home,
on horseback, and when mile above Mount
Joy he was met by two men, one os whom
caught the horse by the bridle and the other
presented a pistol TO Mr.. Keller's head, at the
same time demanding his money or his life.-
Mr.. X. replied that he did not have much
money, but he would sooner give the amount
about his person than to lose his life. He
placed his hand in an inside pocket of his
waistcoat, and pulled forth revolver, which
he discharged full in the face of the highway
man and killing him Instantly. The other one
took to his heels, being followed by a bullet
from the revolver of Mr.. Keller but it is not
known whether he was struck or not, as the
darkness was too great. We were unable to
learn the name of the man who was killed.

JUSTICES OF THE PEAoE.-Some Of the Bati-
more papers have earnestly demanded that the
present Legislature change the system by
which these officers are now paid in the city,
and suggest that they should be made saaried
officers. The fees collected by them to be paid
over TO the State. Some of these officers, ii is
said, receive from $40, 600 10 SIS, 900 year,
ia the shape Of sees-a salary larger than any
received By any officer Of the State Govern
mcnt. There can be little doubt if the juris-
diction of the Magistracy in the counties were
extended, particularly 10 the cognizance OF
breaches of the peace and their final adjodica-
ton, as well as to those minor offences by
which our jails are filled with criminals, a
great good would be accomplished, and a sa-
wing made to the taxpayers. Many OF these
petty cases which occupy so much time of the
courts might very safely be turned over TO the

MARYLAND LIFE INSURANCE. The following
extract is taken from the Second Annual Re-

State of Maryland. 1t speaks well for our
State Institution
1t is with feelings of State pride that we call
special attention to the condition Of the Mary
Life Insurance Company Of Baltimore City.
as shown by the table. The class of assets
held by this company and shown in the APP
pendix of this report in detail, will convince
you at once of the able management of the f.
nancial affairs, and the only regret TO be ex-
the working territory Of the company, it being
almost exclusively confined to our own State
limits this regret is the more to be experience
cd when il is considered that the only argu-
ment necessary TO present, beyond the limits Of
Mary to insure its unbounded success, is
its financial standing and management as ex-
hibited to this department. An examination
Of this table will show this company TO pos
sess surplus of assets over liabilities of twen-
ty-six per cent, which is far in excess of the
surplus held by either the Mutual or Equitable
Life Insurance Companies of New York, the
surplus Of these companies being but a fraction
over ten per cent. 1t is with pleasure that we
now learn that the officers of the Maryland
Life are moving energetically in the right d.
rection, and that it is their purpose TO extend
their business beyond the borders of the State
OF Maryland.

the mayor, ordering all persons to keep within
doors until the animals had been secured or
killed, which fact would be known by the
firing of guns at certain designated places.
A brief paragraph at the end states that the
entire account was pure fabrication, written
to show what might be the consequences of
such an event taking place.
- The National Academy Of Science,
which has lately been in session at Philadel-
phia, discussed, and with great unanimity
condemned, the use of mineral poisons, espe-
cially Paris Green, by farmers for the purpose
of killing injurious insects. Prof. LIE Conte
says that the arsenic and copper, of which
Paris Green is composed, are poisons which
act with equal energy upon plants and ami
mails. The material, though diffused upon
the leaves of the plants to be protected, which
are incapable of absorbing it, is speedily
carried into the soil, and if used annually it
is merely matter of time how many years
will elapse before the soil is poisoned so as to
prevent the growth Of all vegetables. The
use Of strychnine in corn-felds to kill crows
was referred to by another member, who
thought that this most indestructible of poi
sons might affect the vegetation. The Acad-
envy finally adopted resolution authorizing
the appointment of committee to investi-
gate and report upon the subject Of the use
of poisons applied to vegetables Or otherwise
for the destruction of deeterious insects and
other animals, and also the incautious use Of
poisons in the ornamentation Of articles Of
food and for destructive purposes generally,
such, for instance, as the coloring Of paper.

ATTRACTIVE ORIGINAL STORIES.
PREMIUMS FOR CLUBS.

WITH the new year, the ENQUIRER will
w enter upon its TWENTY-FlRST EOL-
UME; and in making our regular annual an
nouncement we can promise greater attractions,
owing to increased facilities in every department,
than we have heretofore been enabled to present.
AS non-partisan independent family news
paper, the future editorial conduct of the EN-
QUIRER can be as well Judged by the past as by
any promise which we might now feel disposed
to make. An experience of thirty-four years IN
the newspaper business, seventeen of which have
been unremittingly devoted to the management
of the ENQUIRER, fully convinces the proprie-
tor that the plan he adopted on assuming control
of the paper, is the correct mode of Journalism In
the present day. The true mission of a ncwspa-
per to place before the public facts as they exist
unbiased by partisan feeling or sinister motives,
and the propriety of this course is fully attestcd,
not only by the success Of the ENQUIRER,
which can truthfully claim the largest circulation
of any country paper in the South, but also by
many other of the mostpopular and widely -circu-
lated papers of the day. The course thus indicl-
ted we shall continue to pursue, aiming to pub
lish a LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPA-
PER, which shall be welcome visitor to the
Home Circle. and acceptable alike to all classes
of readers Hence, the news department OF the
ENQUIRER, whether of matters at home or
abroad-political or otherwise-will be guarded
with the utmost care, and only facts as they may
seem to exist, will be presented, free from per-
SOn al sectional or DartV bias.

A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle

The Atlanta and Richmond Airline hall
Road. which is doing tremendous traffic,
has. for long time, been in a precarious con-
dition, financially, and developments are just
beginning to manifest themselves. oay or

represents, viz: Judge S. B. Hoyt, cashier

dent of the road, and Thos. Alexander, of the
firm of Grant, Alexander & Co., formerly
contractors on the road. There are three par
ties fighting for the possession of the road,
one REPRESENTING the bondhc!ders, another the
stockholders, and still another who it is un-

holders. They are all in the courts, and
awaiting action. In the meantime the en-
ployes Of the road are in a dilemma, anxious
to retain their situations, but afraid lest some
prejudice will be created against them. The
State is in nowise involved. 1t did at first en-.
dorse the bonds of the road, but these were
afterward surrendered. The city of Atlanta
owns 100000 of the stock, which is doubt
less lost.
