sttutlen, and a Committee was appointed 10
draft a memorial 10 said board for that pur-
pose. The memorial was read and signed At
an adjourned neesing held at Wheeler's Ho-
tel, on Wednesday evening. II sets forth the
fact that Westminster Is more accessible TO
the popnlous counties Of Western Maryland
than Baltimore, and scarcely less accessible
to the balance Of the State, being only little
over an hours travel from that city. That
the location is high and healthy, being one
thousand feet above tide water, and free from
malarious influences. That q saving Of one

lay. That building material is much cheaper
in Westminster than it is in Baltimore. Stoae
can be quarried on the spot, in any required
quantity, or furnished, if purchased, At SIPS
per perch. Bricks can be manufactured and
delivered on the grouRd at 81 per thousand
and the best lime furnished at 70 cents per
bushel, while lumber can be had at Baltimore
prices. Westminster is as accessible, by rail,
as any site would be five miles FROM Baltimore
city limits off a railroad. The cost Of site,
on railroad or within the city, would absorb
probably more than one. halfthe appropriation
and leave an insufficient sum TO erect the build
ing. All these facts are set forth in the me
mortal, and the Board is invited to visit West
Minister and examine into them for its own
satisfaction, while the Inequalities Of our city
are rendered to its several members during
their visit, should they conclude to come.

TnE NEW AssEssNKSr.-Unde the new
assessment act three assessors are TO be ap.
pointed BY the Governor for Carroll county.
1t is admitted that the present assessment is
too high that the price Of houses and lands
and every other kind Of property, has declined
since the former assessment was made. A
new assessment will reduce the basis Of tax
alton in the State, il is believed, which will
necessitate an increased rate Of taxation un.
der the assessment. If such should be the
case, the amount Of taxes 10 be paid, will re.
main much the same as il is now. Doubtless
some new property, heretofore unassessed,
will be added, but scarcely sufficient, we sus.
peet, 10 make up the aggregate in the State,
10 what 1t is at present. This, however, is
but speculation. We cannot tell what the re.
suit will be, until the assessment is closed and
return is made.

DouHLE PIPE CREEK IrENs.-Mr Daniel
Harp, near Utica, Frederick county, about :
miles southwest OF here, was drowned on Fri
day, the 10th inst in attempting to cross Hunt
ing Creek with team Of four horses, two of
which were also drowned. His body was re-
covered on Saturday, short distance below
where he had gone into the water. His re-
mains were inferred in the German Baptist
Brethren burying ground at Rocky Ridge
Westinghouse. on Monday, followed by an
unusually large concourse OF sorrowing friends
and neighbors. He was in the 69th year of
his age, and leaves a wife and eleven living
children to mourn his sad ending. This was
q remarkable circumstance. Mr.. Harp had
lived on the banks Of the Monocacy river for
number Of years, and was known to dread
and fear high water; and more than one time
he turned away from this same fording when
the stream was muddied BY rain, but perfectly
safe to cross, saying, II don't venture into
deep water y and now, when the water is not
less than eight feet deep, he should venture
in with a team Of four horses hitched 10
wagon, is singular.
MIR. g. W. Shoemaker, whilst walking a
few evenings ago on the Frederick and Penn
sylvania Line Railroad. fell over the side on
the track below--a distance of twenty feet
and was SO badly hurt that his life is dispaired
OF, his condition is so very critical. A year
ago he fell backward out of wagon, and
broke several of his ribs. Last fall he fell
while walking on the road aud broke his arm,
and now he has his skull fractured, is inter
nally hurt, and came near breaking his neck.
Master Willie Cover, a short time ago, with
hook and line, caught cat fish which weighed
! pound and II ounces. Cat fish larger than
this are rarely in our streams.
The two hours detention ofthe morning train
east, on the Western Maryland Railroad,
few days ago, was caused by slide in one of
the mountain cuts west Of the Blue Ridge
summit. The train was signalled and stopped
before it came to the slide, and no danger was
done.
The late heavy rain caused food in our
river, but not sufficient do any damage.
Some Of our fishermen, with their dip nets,

Indeed. the Journal goes 30 far as to de-

and Is preceded by the minutes Of the

are as follows:
"a man named Mastai Ferretti. who
received the baptism OF Freemasonry,
and solemnly pledged his love and fell
lowship, and who afterward was crowned
Pope and King. under the title Of Pho
Mono, has now cursed his former breth-
rcn, and accommodated all members
Of the Order OF Freemasonry. There
fore, said Mastai Ferretti is herewith, by
decree OF the Grand Lodge Of tho ORR
ent, Palermo, expelled from the Order
for perjury"
The charges against him were first pro-
ferred in his Lodge at Palermo, in 1865.
and a notification and copy thereof sent TO
him with n request to attend the Lodge
for the purpose Of answering the same.
To this he made no reply, and for divers
reasons the charges were not pressed
until he urged the Bishops Of Brazil to
act aggressively toward the Frccmasons.
Then they were pressed, and, after a
regular trial. q decree Of expulsion was
entered and published. tho samo being
signed by Victor Emmanuel, King OF
Italy. and Grand Master Of the Orient Of
Italy,
