An ''Injun Yarn.

The following thrilling story comes
from Georgia, and is told by the At
lanta Constitution:
When Mrs. B. went home from
shopping yesterday she entered upon
a scene Of thrilling horror being en-
acted in the back yard.
In the center of the yard a dry
goods box was in flames, and the baby
was lying in front of it squealing lus-
tily from heat and fright. Down be-
hind the currant bushes were two of
the neighboring ys,skulking around
! with painted faces, chicken feathers in
their hair, and bows in their hands,
while her hopeful son had on his faith
er's moccasin slippers, his cap turn ed
wrong side out upon his head, and az
old army gun in his hand. He was
creeping along with evident murder
Gus intent toward the roosters behinc
the bushes.
"What on earth is the matter ?
cried the alarmed lady.
Ssh sh - said her hopeful, tdon'
you see them Injuns has burned dowI
Hawkins cabin and nearly killed hi
baby, burned up the family, and I'm
the Lean Wolf going to bring dow
vengince on the sculps of the var
mints -
But in about fifteen seconds after h
went down to the Wood-pile, wishin
he was the fat woman in the museur
or the big medicine man of the Paw
nees. He had been reading an India
tale in New York paper, you see.

Il now. unless our business needs less
currency. which we do not believe
There was more currency in the eoun-
try when Jay, Cooke d Co. failed in
1873, than there was at any time since
1865. There is more currency now
than there was in 1878, for Mr.. Rich
ardson during the panic issued $780,
100000 of the S44, 600, 600 reserve
All this cry about contraction is false.
The Free Banking bill provides for
contraction when the trade of the
country demands it, and for expansion
when that is needed, and that is what
the country needs.

The Magic Hog.

The question is frequently asked
"What makes or constitutes the Magic
hogs ?" Mr. D. M. Magic, of Oxford,
Ohio, the originator of this breed of
hogs, gives the following brief descrip-
ton of them
They were produced from four pure
and distinct breeds of hogs, three of
which were imported, namely: Poland,
Big Spotted China, Big Irish Grazier,
and Bayfield, The Magic hog is of
fine bone, but of large size, combining
more =eminently than any other, the
excellencies of both large and small,
being docile, very good feeders, breed
ers, and suckers, fattening readily at
any age, and yet attaining great weight
at maturity. They sometimes dress
$50 lbs. at from ten to twelve months
old, from eighteen to twenty months
old, 500 to 600 lbs The Magic hogs
have long bodies, short legs, broad,
straight back, deep sides, with square,
heavy hams and shoulders, dropping
ears, and are of fine style generally

HyiI,enial,

An esteemed correspondent sends the
following communication, dated at New
burg on the Goth inst. 1t is in relation to
a pleasant affair which took place in that
Observation-Disclosures an one as always
gives us pleasure to publish. To the hap
Ply couple We tender our heartfelt con-
CALCULATIONS and wish them long life with
many blessings upon them:
Dear g Times On the morning of the 9Th
instant occurred lively and pleasing episode
in the usual sober round of our Parish life
The marriage bclr' sounded forth cherry
call from the old church tower upon the sharp,
bright air of the morning, seeming to say to
all who had been hidden: Come haste to the
wedding y From hill and dale the call was
promptly obeyed, by not few of the best peo-
pie of the Parsh-with several pleasant stran-
gers. The occasion was the marriage of Mr.
Francis Golden, of the house of R. A Golden
Bro, Ia "well to do and thriving firm in
Washington city, with Miss Cornelia G. Bur-
roughs, daughter ofthe late John A. Burroughs,
Esq, of this county. At the appointed hour
60 A. N.Y. the bridal pair was at the altar of
the old parish church; the bridegroom and
bride looking as happy and we'll as their best
friends could wish-and attired in the most
tasteful and becoming manner. The marriage
rite was feelingly celebrated by the supplied
priest of the parish, the Rev. John NJ Todd.
The ceremony ended-after many hearty con-
CALCULATIONS, and "good-bye' and "God bless
you'll '-the bridal pair and friends departed for
Dill's Wharf, where the steamer a. W. Thomp-
son" was in waiting to convey them TO Wash
ington, D. c., their future home where a
sumptuous feast awaited them and full ''fow
of soul" While We congratulate Mr.. Golden,
and wish him and his wife all happiness, here
and hereafter, We give up with reluctance his
fair BRIDE who is loved one among us-and
a young, useful, active christian, whom we can
, i'll afford to give up from our neighborhood
and from our little christian band of co-work-
ers with God.

The Weather.

This fruitful subject of comment is as
suredly as tickle as spoilt beauty in the
high-fantads. On Friday it turned very
cold and by next morning everything was
frozen as hard as iron, and the ponds had
at least two inches of ice on them. Dur
ing Saturday the cold increased, and with
our large coal stove in full blast we could
scarcely keep our room com Portable. On
Sunday morning Port Tobacco creek was
frozen out to the fats-a thing that does
not occur except in the coolest seasons
Auring the day there was no abatement
OF theeeold, and on Monday such folks as
were ready we're filing their ice houses
On Tuesday mofring the weather modera-
ted and by "Wednesday the thaw was gen
cral--the ice had all disappeared, and the
bottom had dropped out of the muddy
places in the roads. At this writing
Thursday the day is as mild as spring
day and we are at work in our shirt
sleeves, not only without fire, but with the
doors setting open. This is variableness
with vengeance, and not calculated to
promote health, but likely to befedtlthe

Truth VIII Last.

That good old family newspaper. the Nrr
York O6serrer, now some ffty-ihrec years old
still holds on to the old truths which were SO
firmly advocated when il was founded. No
new lights or nineteenth century doctrines have
ever caused ii to trip or make any false step.
Ii is always satisfying in our day, to take up a
newspaper that is sound and reliable. The
Observer comes 10 US weekly with variety OF

A House and Two Children burned.

On Tuesday last, about noon, Richard
Swami, worthy colored mau, living near
Cox's Station, met with an appalling ca
lamity in the loss of his dwelling by fire
with which was consumed all his furniture
about 1000 lbs. of pork, a part of his to-
bacc crop, some IS bbls. corn, dog, and
most lamentable to state, two of his chill
dren. There were four children in the
house while it was on fire; two ran out
but one of these was badly burned. Swami
and his wife had both been absent about
fifteen minutes only when they saw the
house in flames, and when they reached
the scene.of confagration it was too late
to rescue the children.

Oyster War.

The Q. S. Commissioner Rogers, has dis
missed the case of Captain Geo. W. Car
penter, of the Oyster Police Force, for
want of jurisdiction. Carpenter was after
wards arraigned before Justice Hagerty, of
Baltimore city, and, waving An exsmina-
tion. was held for the action of the autho-
rites of st. Mary's county, under whose
jurisdiction the alleged crime was COM
mitted. The charge brought against Car
penter was for an assault with deadly
weapon on George Candy, mate of the
oyster schooner Adamantine The testi-
mony before Commissioner Rogers was to
the effect that Candy was shot in the LETT
arm from rifle, alleged to have been fred
by Carpenter, on the a2d OF November last
as the Adamantine was lying off Chicken
cock Point, about ten miles from the mouth
of the Potomac. The schooner, it is al
legged, was dredging on forbidden grounds
at the time. The ball inflicted three Sc
we're wounds on the arm, and also pierced
the palm of the hand.

of these events are sure TO be of great interest

all of them and everything connected with
them will be fully and freshly reported and

things was somewhat darker, as the col

they were by no means backwards in COM

the town was enlivened bv a gay party
which assembled at Christ Church to wit

and Miss Roberta Burch, daughter of Mr..
John A. Burch. We approve of Mr.. Ncy

we cannot imagine of any better. There
were several fellows present who would
like to have done SO too, when they heard
the resonance of the kiss with which the
groom at the close of the ceremony made
haste to heartily salute the bride. 1t was
calculated to go to fellows marrow, and
make him think of fire crackers and other
Christmas fxings. Altogether the town

Beacon:
Many of our contemporaries in the upper par,
of the State have been indulging in huge brags
this Fall about the weight Of the pet hogs OF
their section, the heaviest that we noted being
SIS lbs. We thought all the time that ST.
Mary's could beat this if she made an effort,
and We have now to record, that James F.
Abel, Esqr., killed porker at his place on
the 18th instant, whose nett weight amounted
to 60s3 lbs. The hog in question was pigged
the last of September '73 and was consequent
ly aged about 263 months at the date of kill
ing. Mr.. Abel estimated that the hog gained
400 lbs. within the last twelve months. Stock,
