A MYsrERY.-The people of Carroll county
are well aware Of the mysterious disappear
ance of Andrew Morrison, whose home was
near Little Pipe Creek, in this county, who
disappeared several years ago, and had con-
siderable money about him the last time he
was seen. II was thought at the time he was
drowned or had wandered away, as he was
demented. A few days ago new light was
thrown upon the matter. Mr.. Uriah Angel
was repairing some fence and he found con.
cealed under stake covered over with briars
and leaves, pair of pantaloons and drawers,
which he firmly believes to be the clothing
worn by Morrison at the time of his disap-
pearance. The clothes found we're covered
with spots resembling blood, and are pretty
well decayed. All persons who have seen the
pantaloons, and remember those worn by the
old man, are convinced that they resemble
the suit worn by Morrison when he disap-
peared. Near the place where the clothes
were found, is hole six feet long and two
feet wide, much resembling grave. The
opinion of the community is that he had
been murdered, and the clothes deposited
there to hide the crime.

INPRovRNESrs.--A spirit Of Improvement
appears to be rife among our citizens. Judge
Maulsby has reprinted his house, and taken
up and relaid the pavement in front Of his
residence. Col. McKellip has repaved in
front Of his lot adjoining the NJ. L. Church.
Mr.. William Wampler is about to relay his
pavement, DIR. Geo. NJ. Fouke and Mr.. Lewis
Winters will shortly relay theirs. Mrs. Mary
Grammer is also laying stone pavement on
Centre Street. Mr.. George L. Wampler and
Mr. James Biggs, have both painted their
dwellings. Wheeler Hotel is to have another
story added and to be surmountsd with Man.
sard roof, giving As additional chambers.
This will be great improvement and add
much to the beauty and value Of that proper.
ty. The proprietors of the Wilson House
are said to contemplate the purchase of the
property belonging to Mr.. Buell., so as to en-.
large that house and extend it to the corner
Of Bond Street. These much needed i'm.
provements would greatly enlarge the hotel
accommodations in Westminster and make
room for an increased number Of summer and
permanent guests. Westminster is becoming
such popular summer resort, on account OF
its healthfulness, easy access and moderate
charges, that greater hotel accommodations
are needed. We are we'll convinced that the
proprietors will find their profit in these con
tempated improvements.
