A GRAND REeEPTIoN.--Last Monday night
7th inst, about fifty gentlemen, known as "Po-
tate Bugs" gathered from Prowhatan, Weth-
eredville and the vicinity round, and paid his
honor, Judge Timanus, congratulatory visit.
The Judge (recently made SO by the "Bugs")
received them with welcome that did his
honor credit. Several tar barrels, brought by
the visitors, were soon made to shed their
cheerful rays over the surrounding country,
and even to light up the isolated dwellings of
the "2ing- worms" signalling an achieved
victory in Baltimore county, none more glori-
ously won on "Lindon's Plains"
When the barrels were consumed the Judge
invited his guests to the house where table
was spread and filled with all the delcacies
"Ring" festal board spread at Barnum's, and
perhaps surpassed it, as "King Alcohol" was
not needed to wash it down.
After each "Bug" 1.-THE insect that was so de-
structive to the "Ring worms" of Baltimore
county recently,) had thoroughly satiated his
hunger, speeches were in order. Mr.. r. M. G.
Trainer being called responded in one of the
most eloquent speeches we have listened to for
some time. He said, "The work is not yet
done. The Ring is only broken, not destroyed.
1t is only collision between the skirmish
lines. The great battle is yet to be fought that
is to sweep the 'Rngites' from Maryland,
cleanse the augean stables, and make them fit
dwellings for honest men. Until this is done
the desired victory is not achieved; therefore,
if rest at all, we must rest upon our arms"
The Judge next responded in his easy but
earnest manner. He recapitulated the county
affairs for the last twelve years: and prognosti-
Gated its future from the present Sign of the
times" Several other speeches were delivered
when the "Bugs" returned home. Il.
The above was intended to appear last week
but came too late.-EDs. UNION.

GUNPowDER AGRICULTURAL CLUB JR-Rep0rt-
ed By a member.-This Club met in it's regular
monthly meeting at the residence of G. H.
Price, (son of S. NJ. Price, on Saturday of last
week and organized by appointing c. W. Mat
thews, foreman. The proceedings of the last
meeting held at the residence of Mr.. Price,
were read, giving some very interesting infor-
nation concerning the application of lime
The foreman then appointed a committee on
criticism, after which the Club took Its usual
stroll. We were taken to the hog pen, where
Mr.. Price has FIVE hogs fattenipg, he having
but few to kilt fall, having lost fifteen with
cholera lately, the most of which he proposed
butchering. We were shown a fine lot of steers,
which will be fattened this winter. The build
ings were all visited, but they have been so
we'll described by one of the members of the
Sr. Club it is not necessary to say anything
further in regard to them, only that it is worth
any ones time to visit them and note their
many cenveniences. Again at the house the
minutes of the last meeting were read. Mr..
Joshua Matthews handed in his resignation as
a member. His reason for so doing is because
he cannot attend the meetings of the Club in
the future. After an elegant supper the ques-
ton, (Which is the best and most economical
way of feeding our provender," was discussed
Several members of the Sr. Club were pres
ent and took part in the discussion. Also, DR..
Elias Price, of Baltimore. The Club then ad-
journed to meet at the residence of Joshua G.
Bosley, on Dec. 18th.

The ELEcTIoN.-The Reform party has car
ried the county by, in some cases, sweeping
majority. The mass OF the people appear to
have become dissatisfied with democratic rule
and have concluded to try a change. The cleo
ton in the county was orderly and free from
fraud and the people have spoken for them
selves. The new party, however, will have to
be exceedingly careful and perform all they
have promised if they wish to preserve their
popularity. Our people will not be satisfied
with mere promises. They expect much of the
party now in power and if they are disappoint-
ed the tables will soon be turned again. The
change, however, was not on account OF the
county ticket, but was brought about by the
nominations on the State ticket. Carroll was
not at all popular, and many persons voted the
full reform ticket simply because Carroll Head
ed the democratic ticket Perhaps the change
in the county is for the best, at least we hope
it will prove so. Time will tell.-Md. Line
Correspondence Glen Rock Item.
A New REGISTRATION LAw.-It is well under
stood that movement is on foot in quarters
identified with the democratic party to have a
bill prepared for presentation to the Legisla-
ture which looks to change in the registration
law of the State. 1t is proposed to have new
registration of voters, and the bill will contain
provisions for changes from the present law in
the manner in which the registration shall be
conducted.
The above is from the Sun. We trust there
is truth in it, there being plenty of room for
improvement in the present law.

YOU'VE GIRL SHoT.-On Sunday morning
last police officer Wade, OF the Thirteenth dis
trict, brought to Tcwsontown and lodged in
Jail to await the action of the Grand Jury, Geo.
Liebe, charged with shooting Alice V. Paul on
Saturday night, between eight and nine o'cPk.
Liebe states that he called at the residence of
the young girls father, on the Washington pike,
between the Baltic. and Potomac and B. e o.
railways, after dark Saturday evening, for the
purpose of seeing the young lady, to whom he
had been engaged for some time, and whom be
expected to marry last month. At the time of
calling he was intoxicated, and had with him
a flask of whisky and revolver. After lying
on the sofa some time, where he threw himself
on entering the room, Miss Paul asked him to
leave and return to his home. He got up and
started out for that purpose, she following him
as far as the yard gate, whore he pulled out his
pistol. She endeavored to take the weapon
away from him, when it was discharged, acct
dentally, he states, the ball taking effect in the
young girls abdomen
She Immediately ran into the house, scream
ing. Leibe, whe, it seems, was not at the time
aware of the nature of what had happened,
endeavored to enter the house, but the door be-
ing closed, he was unable to do so, and finally
returned to his home and wen to bed. He was
arrested about o'clock Sunday morning and
said he did not know the girl was shot until
then. The young girl is about nineteen years
old, and it is thought the wound will be fatal.
The father is by occupation a auckster. The
accused is about twenty two years of age.

DON CARLOS REPUDIATED,

The expected result has followed the
publication of the characteristic letter of
Don Carlos to the King of Spain. The
young ruler has petulantly ordered his
minister to bring him nothing further from
the Don except the unconditional submis-
sion of himself and his partisans. Quesada
is not likely to be called upon soon to
carry such message. The fact is either
of the putative descendants Of the Spanish
Bourbons would rather see their country
utterly destroyed than have the other sue
ceed in the contest for the crown. The
proposition of Carlos, therefore, which
was doubtless insincere, will have only
local effect, as its rejection leaves the two

NEW QUALIFICATIONS FOR JURORS,

Judge Hill, of the United States Circuit
Court tor Mississippi, seems to US to have
some correct though very unusual notions
about the qualifications necessary for
jurors According to the Jackson Times,
he examined tie panel individually at the
opening of the recent term of LIS court,
and excused all who were unable to "read,
write and compute interest" The paper
does not explain whether the learned
Judge experienced any difficulty in finding
enough men who were fit to serve The
census reports credit Mississippi with her
full share Of illiterate people, both white
and black, and that State has heretofore
been regarded as the jurors paradise BY
those who hold that knowledge of any
sort, especially of the case in hand, dis
qualities man for serving on a jury We
repeat, therefore, that we believe Judge
Hill entertains the correct view of the
jury question, but we have been uniformly
told by members Of the bar that both the
law and the custom are decidedly against
intelligence in jurors. If Judge Hill has
the power to make law to suit the "com-
plicated and important cases" which are
likely to come before him at jackson, we
think he has acted with sound discretion; /;
but there are those who will raise OBJ
jections to the practice of a United
States judge. however wise he might be,
making laws as well as trying cases under
them. Perhaps the judge of another dis
trict might entertain the prevailing opinion
that juror should be an ignoramus, and
in turn "excuss" all who could tread,
write or compute interest" This would
create some confusion, Is .ae marshsls
would not know for some time, OF until
