Our friends must bear with us in this,
and forbear with us in another matter,
which it is appropriate in this connec-
ton to mention. 1t not unfrequently
occurs with writer's, writing in the heat
of controversy, to indulge in reference

personal for our taste and also for good
neighborhood. In cases Of this kind,
we have ever reserved to ourselves, and
shall continue to reserve, the right to
omit altogether or modify all passages
or phrases which come under the ban
of our Judgment, even when the contri-
button is admitted TO publication.
A dwelling house on the road to, and
near, Forrest Landing in Patuxent Dis
trict, and occupied by Rodolphus Thomp-

fire on Thursday evening last. Wehave

fire, but it is thought to have been ac-
cidental. The parties, with their fami-
lies, were absent at the time on neigh
borhood visit and the fire had obtained
such Roadway when it was discovered
that the building had to be abandoned
to its fate and endcavors limited to the
removal of its contents. All or nearly
all of Mrs. Stones furniture was saved,
but Thompson, We regret to state, lost
everything he had, furniture, provis-
ions, even the clothing of himself and
family As he is personally known to
us to be sober and worthy man and
now entirely helpless, we commend his
case to the notice Of the cbaritably dis
posed.
