Our old political rival, the Cecil Wing,
still maintains It's position in the front
rank Of successful journalism. We never
open its pages without expecting to find
something we may appropriate. Its Sc
loctions are marked by good sense and in
telligent discrimination, aud it has a corps
Of active, industrious contributors and
correspondents, at home and abroad, with
out which no journal can attain to the
highest excellence. The acrimony Of for
mer times--its greatest defect--has been
modified, we think, BY the lapse Of years.
In everything, save its politics, the Wing
commends itself to our admiration, as one
of the best Of the many good papers in
Maryland.

monthly paper, entitled "Ercelsior,' pub

MURDERoUs ASSAULT ny A Crazy MAN,
Between s and 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning
the Almshouse of this county was the scene
Of terrible assault by crazy man. The
Steward, Mr.. John Tracey, had the inmates
assembled for breakfast, among whom is
man named John Fisher, who had been kept
in close confinement for some time, but within
a few days previous had been conducting him
self in a rational manner. While at the table
he became excited and was Immediately re-
moved, hobbies were placed upon his ankles,
and he was fastened to the floor. TheSteward
and his foreman had Just reached the house
when they were startled by cry for help.
They at once proceeded TO the place where
Fisher had been confined, and were surprised
to find that he had wrenched the iron staple
from the floor, procured an axe handle and
made terrible assault upon an Oldham, aged
about "A years, named Henry ---. The
old man was found TO be in an unconscious
condition, with terrible wound over the right
eye, the superorbital artery being severed,
from which the blood flowed freely. DIR. But
Ter was summoned, and dressed the wound.
The skull was found to be fractured, and it
is thought fatally. Fisher was in Jail some
time ago, and while so confined put out
mans eve by thrusting a stick in H. Imme-
diately after the assault on Tuesday morning
he was double ironed and chained to floor.
Would it not be as well for either the city
or county authorities to have 6 Old Bowser,n
who roams our streets at all hours, placed in
confinement? So far he has been harmless,
but who knows at what moment he may be
taken with an inclination to avenge some fan
cied grievance. The walking stick he uses
has sharp iron ferule, and it would be
dangerous weapon in the hands of an insane
man.
