New York. May 1.-THE Presbyte-
~ of the reformed Presbyterian

improper intimacy with "A young wo-
man before the Miami session at

proves his entire innocence.
Four burglars were captured here

ing through the wall Of a silk ware
house from an adjoining building.

Agreeable.

If the uneXceptionable gentleman,
who doeth all things right, and who
is afraid that the few words written
in favor of the Agricultural Associ-
alton and our presence at the Fair
win injure it and decrease its pros
pect of success, will guarantee that
our silence and absence will increase
the receipts and enhance the enjoy
ment of those who may attend, and
give those whom our odious presence
heretofore has kept away a chance to
attend, we say, if he will give a bond,
with good security to this effect, we
and our friends and influence will
gladly hands-off from the Association
and the Fair. Our aim Is to do the
best we can for the Association, and
not assist in dragging it down, and if
the above course will dc it, why, we
are agreeable.

FROM LITTLE GEORGETOWN
LITTLE GEORGETOWN,
June %. 1875.

70 The Editors Of the Independent
Items for this week are very scarce,
for all are so busy now that they do
not find time to gather at their Gus
tomary places Of gossip and talk over
the latest tit-bit of scandal or tell of
the trifling accidents incidental to
everyday transactions.
This week we see the farmers about
here are busy in the hayfields, and
some of them talk about commencing
harvesting Friday or Saturday.
The river still continues muddy
from the rains above, and our Wal
ton = appear to be somewhat low
spirited. AS he cannot pursue his Gus
tomary avocation. he has tried to get
place to harvest from several Of the
farmers, but they all think their sup
ply Of provisions too small to engage
him.
Our 'sSunfsh'' man hooked large
eel last Saturday, and remarked, as
he was drawing it in, ..Ohl I've got
himl' but, with the luck that so
often befalls a fisherman, when he
had raised it out Of thewater so that
he had a fair view of it, and weigh
ing it after the improved method, it
slipped off from his hook, and was
soon lost to his view and with some
kind Of muttered expression, he
baited his hook and threw out again,
and we left him sitting there waiting
for bite-but when we attempted
to offer consolation for his loss, he
said he did not like cells; he would
rather have sunfish. #.

A Fearful Rumor.

4 rumor reached us Tuesday to
the effect that the people of Gerards-
town were considerably excited over
rumors relative to the murder of a
young man named Daniels sometime
during the war. We are told sever
al persons are hunting for authors,
but wedisliketo give any credence to
talk of this character, but win say
that if any person has any informal
ton OF any facts that will unearth
crime, let it be forthcoming at once
and stop these vague underlined ru-
mors, which only grow and get the
more mysteriousas they arerepeated.
