We this week received the following letter
from a rampant individual of Baltimore.

es of Baltimore city were over 50 in the hun
dred dollars, which defy you to prove. Be-
lieving that the editors of the Towsontown pa
pers are doing their utmost to deceive the peo-
pie, as their statements show, you will please
discontinue my paper" etc., etc. We proved
conclusively last week, by city tax bill, that
the taxes of Baltimore are ouer 50 in the 500,

that to be fact, we don't feel disposed to waste
time by reiteratiug it.

victmized ourselves, despite our care not to
leave any temptations in their way. We have
no doubt that the larger or older ones lay plans
for the younger ones to carry out, and by this
means children are induced to steal from their

saw this few days ago, and the young scamp
was huckstering them around for sale, tellinga
bare faced lie to the person who happened TO
merely for the purpose of putting parents on
