Boss TWEED,

Strange that such difference there should be
iTwixt Tweed ledum and Tweed-le dee.
More strange the difference there will be
'Twixt Tweed, in ward, and Tweed set free
The full measure Of that difference is
likely to be discovered by the sheriff Of
New York city and the Warden of Lud-
low Street Jail, Gov. Tilden, who has the
power Of removal, having given the sher-
il notice that unless he discovers Tweed's
hidiDg.place within a given time, be must
hand in his resignation.

TIE RAIxe, TIRE SPRNGs AND THE ROADS,
Frequent and copions showers have filled the
springs in this region, until some that have
been almost dry for years are Mt length full
to Overlooking. This is source Of great sat.
isfaction to many, for to be deprived Of ar
abundance Of good water is a severe priva,
ton. But the rains are making the roads
bad for travelling. For several winters they
have been frozen nearly constantly, and all
the roads have been as smooth and hard as
the pike, neither snow nor rain could pene.
trate the frost-bound crust, and the springs
consequently got very low.

Franklin Lamotte, President; George Power,

Loss BY FIRI.-We were very sorry to hear
last week that our old friend and former resi-
dent, Mr.. Conrad King, who now resides
near Mt. Airy, Carroll county, on the borders
of this county, met with a very severe loss
some time in October, by his dwelling house
being destroyed by fire, together with about
$500 in money, tthe proceeds of the sale of
his crop of tobacco just made,) all his furni.
ture, bed clothing and wearing apparel. Mr..
King was in an adjoining field firing tobacco
at the time, and his wife and children had
just left the house to help him. when he
saw the smoke issuing from it, and by the
time he arrived on the spot the inside was all
in flames, not succeeding in saving an article.
Mr.. Kings loss is very heavy, about 1920.
The cause Of the fire is unknown, but suppos.
ed to be from the cook stove. His wife's
mind has become greatly impaired since the
fire, caused, no doubt, by her husbands heavy
loss. Great sympathy is felt for Mr.. King in
the neighborhood Of his home.-Frederick
