A MEETING OF OLD FRIENDs.-The Sun of Fri

full merchant of Baltimore, who was at State
west of the city, on the Frederick road, and
there saw, amongst other things, the blowing
competition, yesterday recognized at the PIN
lico State Agricultural Fair, in two of the judges
on blowing, the same gentlemen who at the
fair over fifty years ago were contestants for
blowing prizes, having entered two and three
horse blowing teams, respectively.
FoREwARNED, FoREARMED.-S Since the recent
robbery of Joshua Eagelston, by masked men,
on the Belair road, in this county, many of the
residents of that vicinity have consulted to-
gether and organized themselves into sort of
committee of vigilance. Arms have been pro-
cured with which to give a warm reception to
future predatory bands, and each of the COM
mittee men is provided with tin horn on
which to blow signals of danger or distress,
whereby to summon the neighbors to assemble
against the common enemy.

SKELETON OF MAN FoUND.--0n Saturday,
October 3D., Mr.. Herman Hertline, of the 18th
district, while cunning near the Philadelphia
turnpike, about six miles from Baltimore, came
upon the skeleton of man lying in the woods,
about $50 yards from the pike. Mr.. Hertline
called upon VIM. IL. Reever, justice of the peace,
and informed him OF the facts. Mr.. Reever
summoned jury of inquest and proceeded to
the spot. Upon examination it was discovered
that the body was entirely decayed, but had
been clad in black cloth coat and vest, yell
lowish pair of pantaloons of checkered mate
rial, black SLOUGH, high crowned hat, hirt
of fine material with the bosom finely pleated,
aud a pair OF fine Congress CATERS. There was
but very little offensive smell about the body.
The clothing was examined, and large leath-
or pocket book found in the pocket OF the coat
containing $l2.40 in currency and few PEN
MES. There also found three business
cards, viz: "Louis Roll, independent detective
and constable, 1854 South Broadway, Baltl-
more;" "a. P. Agresta, ship broker, l26 Pearl
street, New York !" "Lewis Wagner Co., ship
joiners, corner Thames and Wolfe streets, Bal
timore." There was also found in the book two
leaves of what appear to be taken from the log
book of ship, there being upon the leaves
what is supposed to be Italian writing, OF date
of March 9th, 1874 In the back leaf of the
book was found the words, written in bold
hand in pencil, (either or 68,) president
J -
The jury examined the matter and came to the
conclusion, from the position in which the man
was found, that he must have rested on the
grass, sitting with his back against large tree,
and from some cause died in that position. The
head of the man had fallen from the body and
lay alongside the tree. The only verdict which
the jury could render was that they supposed
the man had died from natural causes. The
remains were buried few feet from where they
were found. Justice VIM. II. Reever, Orange
vile Postoffice, Baltimore county, has the peck
ct book and money in his possession.
We learn by the Baltimore papers of We'd
nesday that the remains above described have
been identified as those of Capt. A. Villa, of
Genoa, commander of the Italian brig Furioso
On the morning of the 9th of June his vessel
went ashore at Currtuck beach, and was after
wards gotten of. While the vessel was lying
there the Captain was missed, and has never
been heard from until the remains were found.
