AcoUITTAL OF REsLEy The verdict Of ac-
quittal Of John Resley for the murder of L. L.
Clary, in Cumberland, few months ago, has
astonished the Maryland people, He was ac-
Quilted on the evidence of two witnesses
whose testimony went to show that Resley
acted in self-defence. The Cumberland Times
says, the perjury of these men was so palpable
that the leading counsel for the defense, who
is an honorable gentleman, would not allude
to them, and disdained TO base nm argument
upon their testimony. The apotheosis of MUIR
der is complete, and Aliegany county ire
deemably disgraced in the estimation of all de-
cent people. The murderer is free but the
brand is upon him.

A Town HALL.--The question of having
Town Hall erected in Rockville has been moot
ed, and in the event that the County Commits
sioners decline permitting any further public
meetings 10 be held ia the Court House, las Is
now almost absolutely certain, it will become
necessary 10 adopt some measures by which
building may be procured for such purposes.
The numerous applications, by all classes of
persons, for the use of the Court House, has,
we understand, rendered this step on the part
of the Commissioners, necessary, in order to
prevent injury to the public property. IF they
decide upon the adoption of such a resolution,
it behooves our citizens to go to work at once
and exchange views as TO the best way to pro-
mote the public interest in this matter. The
erection Of a Town Hall, in central part Of
the town, suggests itself, and while it would
meet the wants of the times, would also add to
submit, but would simply state that suitable
structure could be erected at a cost Of three or
four thousand dollars, which would be pay
ing investment as soon as completed. A build
ing of two stories, with hall in the second
story capable of seating four or FIVE hundred
persons, with two large business rooms below.
These, arranged either as business rooms, or
for Offices, would yield rent sufficient to pay
good interest on the investment, to say moth
ing of the proceeds from the hall, which would
yield ten dollars night for at least fifty nights
in the year. Or, the hall might be divided in
to two compartments, and the four Orders, of
Masons, Knights of Pythias, Changers, and
Sons Of Temperance, might be permitted 10
acquire fee simple title 10 the second story,
10 be used as place for their meetings, they
paying for the erection of that portion of the
building and their proportion Of the price for
a lot, and the lower story to be the hall. In
either view of the case, ii seems to US IL the
matter was taken hold of properly, that sue
cess would crown the effort. joint stock
company might be raised, the price of shares
to be limited to fifty dollars, the money 10 be
paid in quarterly and half-yearly installments,
and the money might be raised and the build
ing erected the present year. 1t could be
done.

Housekeepers will be sorry TO hear that the
price of coffee is likely TO advance, and that
even the present unusually high figures will
probably be increased. The cause is a short
crop in the two chief coffee producing coun-
'ries-Brazil and the East Indies. Importers
often try to invent reasons for the failure of
prospective crops, hoping thereby to frighten
buyers into paying better prices, but this time
the scare appears to have a foundation in fact.

MARYLAND INEBRIATR AsYLuM.-The Report
of dissatisfaction for 1873 is before us. It's
a brief and comprehensive statement of a most
excellent work that has been done by the Asy-
Inn. No class of men in the community arc
less understood than inebriates, and no sub
iect is more deserving Of careful and thought
full study than Iniemperance. The recently an
nounced doctrine of disease in connection with
incompetence, is generally accepted by scien-
lists, and our State has added another evidence
of her wisdom and philanthropy in so recog-
MIXING it and providing for its treatment.-
Unfortunately, however, the Trustees of the
Asylum have not had the pecuniary aid they
need. While large proportion of beneficial
ries have been received and cared for in the
Asylum, there are many more who apply, but
who cannot be accepted for want of proper
appliances for employment and of the means
of support. We understand the Legislature
will consider the subject and devise some plan
by which the aid Of the State will be granted
to the Asylum.

shadow he stays out, and the sign is favorable
for an early Spring. Whatever objection may
be made TO the representation. none will be
