LENGTHY CAsE.-The Court was in ses-
sion on Wednesday of last week, Judge Wat
tiers on the bench, and remained in session up
TO Monday, OF the present week, inclusive, for
the transaction of business. The session was
occupied in the trial of the case of Richard G.
Hardesty, now deceased, vs.. Richard S.
Hardesty, bill filed on the Equity side of
the Court. The main facts in the case, we
are informed, are these:
Richard S. Hardesty, Of Baltimore city, the
father, some time about the year 1864 pur-
chased from Mr.. Tyson, the property known
as wilma Farm" situated near Stockton, in
this county, as it is alleged for his son, Rich.
ard G. Hardesty, who entered into possession
and continued to reside thereon up to the
time fhis death, making valuable improve
ments. This possession and the money ex-
pended, it is averred by the complainant
Richard q. Hardesty, was upon the faith of
his fathers promise or agreement that the
farm was purchased for him. the son, and
that he intended it for him, and had or would
give it to him. The deed, however, was ta-
ken from Tyson to the father, and afterwards
quarrel arising between the Hardestys,
father and son, the former disavowed the
gift and recovered judgment in an action of
ejectment to dispossess the latter The bill
in this case was filed in 1868 to obtain an in
junction restraining him from proceeding
upon this judgment, and to quiet Richard C.
in his possession.
Shortly after the bill was filed, however,
Richard c. Hardesty died, and his proper
representatives being made parties, large
amount of testimony was taken and the case
came up for hearing on the day above named.
1t was argued at considerable length by the
counsel engaged and held under considera-
ton by the Court whose opinion will proba-
bly, be filed in writing in due time.
E. H. Webster and Hon. John II. Price
appeared for complainant Richard c. Har.
desty, and Henry w. Archer Henry D. Far
nandis and Geo. H. Williams, Esq, the latter
Of Baltimore city, for the defendant, Richard
s. Hardesty. The case will probably be ia.
ken to the Court of Appeals, however the de-
cision may be rendered here.

BURNING OF A Million last Friday
night, about eight or nine o'clock, Dorney' 8
Mill, on the Little Falls, near the Baltimore
and Hayre de Grace turnpike, was burned to
the ground. The loss will amount to about
$4,000, on which there is an Insurance of
$4,000 in the Hartford Mutual Company.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is
thought to have been caused by friction of
the machinery. MI John w. Dieter, the
miller, left the premises about sunset, and
there was then no fire anywhere in the mill

CALUMNY.-The rules of politeness
are never at variance with the prin-
cipies Of morality. Whatever is re-
ally impolite is immoral. We have
no right to offend people with our
manners or conversation. We have
no right to deal with or be influenced
by gossip about the people we meet.
Their private affairs are none Of our
business. If We believe a man to be
unfit company for us, we must not
invite him; but if we meet where he
has been invited by others, we must
treat him with civility. If we know
a man or woman to be grave Of
fender, we can not use that knowl
edge to injure him or her, unless it
is absolutely needful for the protec-
ton Of Others. The greatest and
best man in the world have been as
sailed by calumny. The purest and
noblest do not often escape it. We
cannot Investigators "a rule we
must disregard all SANDERS
Where great offenses-become noto-
rious, the offenders must be excom-
munieated. In all other cases we
must give every one the benefit of a
doubt; apply charitable construction,
hope for the best and, and consider
every one innocent until he is proved
guilty.

Relative Rank Of United States
Cities.

The st. Louis times has the fol
lowing interesting comparison of the
present rank of twenty of the lar
gest cities in the United States. with
that which the same cities held in
1860. 80 .
The cities OF New York, Philadel,
phia and Brooklyn maintain the
same relative rank as to population
that they lid in 1860. There has
been considerable shifting of places,
however, among those that now con.
stitute the remainder of the twenty
foremost cities Of the Union.
During the last decade, st. Louis
has assembled the scale from the
eighth to the fourth.
Chicago, in a similar proportion
changes places from the ninth to the
fifth.
Baltimore, which in 1860 was the
fourth, retrogrades to the sixth.
Boston pursues the same direction
from the fifth to the seventh.
Cincinnati rctires step, from the
seventh to the eighth.
New Orleans falls back from the
sixth to the ninth.
San Francisco, taking notable
forward leap, vaults from the fiji
teenth to The tenth.
Buffalo lags behind from the tenth
to the eleventh
Washington makes stride from
the fourteenth to the twelfth.
Newark, New Jerseys thriving me
tropolis, drops from the eleventh tt
the thirteenth.
Louisville. twelfth in rank in 1860
is now assigned to the fourteenth.
Cleveland, four steps forward
mounts from the nineteenth to tho
| fifteenth.
Pittsburgh alone retains the same
relative rank now as then, the six
teenth.
jersey City rises from the twenti
eth to the importance of the seven
teenth.
Detroit recedes from the seven
teenth to the eighteenth; Milwaukee
from the eighteenth to the nine
tenth; and Albany, which was ter
years ago the thirteenth, now takes
the old place of Jersey City as the
as the twentieth.

The Most PLEASANT DREAM.-A
Scotchman and an Irishman hap
pened to be journeying together
through most interminable forest,
and by some mishap lost their way
and wandered about in a pitiable
condition for while, when they for
tunately came across miserable
howell, which was deserted save by a
lone chicken. As this poor biped
was the only thing eatable to be OBJ
tanned they eagerly dispatched and
prepared it for supper. When laid
before them, Pat concluded that it
was insufficient for the support of
both himself and Sawney, and there
fore a proposition was made to his
companion that they should spare
the chicken until next morning, and
the one who had the most pleasant
dream should have the chicken,
which was agreed to. In the morn
ing Sawney told his, dream. He
thought angels were drawing him up
to heaven in basket, and he was
never before so happy. Upon con-
Guiding his dream, Pat exclaimed,
'Och, sure, be jabbers, l saw ye 60
ing, and thought ye wouldn't come
back, so | got up and ate the chick

The LATEST SNAKE SToRY.-Mr. j.
R. Brockington, of Black Mingo, Will
.liamsburg county, is responsible for
the following snake story: A dog be-
longing to a colored man, while try
ing to catch a large and ferocious
hog, was cut or bit by the hog on the
left side, just below the ribs, and out
of the ori6ce mad by the hogs teeth
crawled two large snakes. One was
alive, and apparentlyin perfect health,
the other was severed or cut in two
by the hogs teeth, and, of course, was
dead. The color was bright, red
striped, with blue intermixed. They
were snakes in every particular. The
dog is living. and in it's usual condi-
ton. Charleston Is. c. J Courier,

"Tis, sad, yet sweet. to listen
TO the soft winds gentle swell.
Aud think We hear the music
Our childhood knew so well;
To gaze out OH the even,
| And the bunuless fields of air.
Aud feel again our boyhood's wish
10 roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladmess
That cling around the past,
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come throngiug fast;
The forms we love so dearly
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maitlcns.
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such Il world as this;
Whose dark soft eyes seemed swimming
In a sea Of liquid light,
And whose locks OF gold were streaming
OYER broWs so sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
La the spring time Of the year,
Like the chaugetni CLEANS Of April,
They followed every tear.
They have passed, like hopes, away,
And their loyelnesS has fed
Oh, many heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
Like the brightest buds of summer,
They have fallen with the stem;
Yet, oh. it is a lovely death
To fade from earth like them.
And yet, the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they,
And feel that All the beautiful
Are passing fast away.
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast,
Like the tendril Of the clinging vine,
iThen perish where they rest.
And we can but think of these,
In the soft aud gentle spring,
When the trees are waving DER us,
And the flowers are blossoming;
And we know that winters coming
With this cold and stormy sky,
And the glorious beauty round US
Is budding but to die.
