IL. IL Il. Il. R.-KeD0rt Fare, dc.

ICoMMuNIcATED |
Nr Editor Figures are said to be ''those
things which cannot lie;' but they can be
twisted and distorted in such II manner as TO
represent only an apparent truth. If there
were such Il road us the Baltimore and Wash
ington, the "Pope's Creek line as it is term
ed might be run at a loss. The Company
seem 10 lose sight Of the fact that from Balti-
more to Pope's Greek constitutes the main
stem, and from Bowie to Washington only Il
branch. Now lei the Company make their cal
cuations npon this basis and who can tell but
that the branch road has been operated at loss.
Our people do not send produce to Bowie
but to Baltimore. Neither do passengers from
this section go to Bowie and return, but to
Baltimore or to Washington and then return.
Judging from the general tenor of the report So
far it affects this portion OF the road, Boecte
is the great centre of business and pleasure for
our people and beyond that they have no ints
rest. If it were not for the length of time We
are detained there, we should have no more re-
gard for Bowie than for Brandywine.
Baltimoreans go to Washington and return
for IS cts. We pay IS cts. from Baltimore to
Bowie. The authorities doubtless considered
the reduction of the fare, which at first was not
eXorbitant, to be to the advantage of
the road. but no one is 50 ignorant as to sup
pose that this reduction would have been made
at all hid ii not been for the existing compete
ton.
So long as horses and carriages shall last,
and the waters of the Potomac and the CheSa-
peake continue to flow, just SO long will the
railroad in this section have Il formidable rival
We incline to the opinion that the removal of
this unfair discrimination in favor of the cities
would rebound to advantage OF the road, i'll the
success and prosperity OF which We would all
rejoice. OBSERVER.

Destructive Fire in Marlboro.

On Monday night last the dwelling
house of s. B. Hance, Esq, in this village,
was entirely consumed by fire. The fire
originated in the cellar, and was discover
ed about midnight, when the flames had
SO far progressed as to render it impossi-
bic to save the building, as there is no fire
extinguisher, fire ladders, or such other
appliances in this village. We have be
fore spoken of the want of such apparatus,
and several valuable houses have been lost
for want of them. If we urge nop the
propriety of investing few hundred dol
lars in such implements, the motion, as
heretofore, will be readily seconded by
eOrds of our low-citiZens. and end in
cords! Let's see if there has been any
change in this respect, and try the expert
ment again of raising say $50 or 5000 to
buy an extinguisher. Set the Gazette down
for its equitable share of the cost.
The house had but recently been repair
ed, and rented to Thos f. Williams, Esq,
who on Monday had removed most of his
furniture into i. Mr.. Hance saved all his
valuable papers. bu. lost some furniture.
MIR. Williams also lost some furniture.
His heavy and most valuable furniture
was not In the house. The building was
lnsured.--G Gazette.

Preparation OF Whitewa.h,

AS this is the season for whitewashing
we copy the following article from one of
our exchanges, and would say that, so far
as our experience goes, the receipt recon-
mendeIl is the best we have ever met with.
1t is an old receipt. Try it.
Whitewash is one of the most valuable arti-
Giles in the world when properly applied. 1t
prevents not only the decay of the wood, but
conduces greatly to the healthiness of all build
ings, whether wood or stone. Out-buildings
and fences, when not painted. should be sup
piled once or twice with a good coat of white
wash, which should he prepared in the follow
ing way:
Take clean. water-tighi barrel, or other
suitable cask, and put into it half Il bushel OF
lime. Slack it 10y pouring water over it, boil
ing hot, and in sufficient quantity to cover il
five inches deep, and stir it brskly till tho Ougl-
iy Stacked.
When the Stacking has en- effected dissolve
it in water, and add two pounds of suphate of
zinc and one of common salt These vii,
cause the wash to harden and prevent its crack
ing, which 81 yes an Hnseemly appearance to
the work Ifdesirable ii beautiful cream color
may be communicated to the above wash by

pounds umber-Turkish or American, 1.-THE lat
ter is the cheapest )-one pound Indian red, and
one pound common lamp black. For common
stone color, add four pounds raw lumber, and
two pounds of lamp black. This wash may be
applied with q common whitewash brush, and

Accident.

We are sorry to hear that Mr.. Geo. B.
Lancaster met with quite serious injury
at Gi.pin Hill on Saturday morning last.
Mr.. Lancaster, in company with his daugh-
ter, who was suffering, as people only suf-
fer who have the toothache, was on his
way to this town for the purpose of avail
ing of the services of Dr. Cobey. When
descending the above named hill. the
breeching of the harness broke and the
horse becoming frightened ran off. badly
smashing the buggy. Both occupants
were thrown out and Mr.. Lancaster had
one of his ankles badly sprained-the
young lady being somewhat bruised. The
escape was a narrow one and we are glad
the consequences were not more serious.
Mr.. Lancaster and his daughter returned
home the same evening and we are happy
to learn that the ladys toothache was
cured by the shock of the accident and the
services of the Dentist were not required.
We would not advise any body else to try
the same remedy. 1t may be sure one,
but we think it must be rather too excit-
ing.

Orphans Court.

OFphans' Court
The Court met last Tuesday, present

four dollars and ten cents. said SUN being the
proceeds OF the sale after deducting commission
and costs of the property of said deceased. levied
on by the said petitioner. 1t appearing 10 the
Court that the said petitioner is entitled to the
same by virtue of an execution levied on said
property
The facts in the above case were these !:
Hall had issued an execution and had the
same levied on the property of Wheeler in
his lifetime, but the property was not sold.
Wheeler subsequently died and the pro-
perry so levied on went into the hands of
his administrator. Milstead. and was sold
by him. Wheeler's personal estate proved
insolvent. and Hall claimed the whole pro-
ceeds of the sale of the property levied on
10y him, and the Court decided the same
in his favor.-Ind.

POtRtOe Bugs!

These pests continue their ravages in
the county, though we have not heard of
a single instance where they have done
damage to the vines, if ordinary care has
been taken to examine them. Most reo-
pie have found careful inspection of the
potatoes every day or two will easily keep
down any increase likely to do injury.
We see it stated in an exchange that in
some places they have attacked the tomatoe
plant, and we learn also that they are very
Obstructive to beet and egg plants. 1t
would be well therefore to make a
thorough examination once in awhile.
We have found the eggs of the beetle on
almost every green thing in the garden,
Including lettuce. Therefore let the good
wife be very careful in examining each
leaf of green vegetables before they are
used for table purposes. 1t would be bad
thing if a fellow were to swallow a mess
of these eggs and become Matching box
for the beetles. When they began to grow
he might fly away on their wings to Am
sterdam, Rotterdam or some other -
place. Seriously, persons cannot be too
particular in handling this bug. The
Hagerstown papers tells us of a case of a
gentleman who put handful of the bugs
IN a bucket and poured hot water over
them. His hands soon afterwards began
to swell and showed all the symptoms of
skin poisoning. We know of a similar
case ourself. A few days ago lady poured
boiling water over a quantity Of these
bugs in a bucket some of the steam from
which assembled to her face. In short
time her face became very much inflamed
and gradually, in the course of two or
three days, the inflammation extended over
other portions of the body. A hot burn
ing sensation and great irritation accom-
ulled II, requiring constant applications
to afford relief. Many persons burn the
bugs, but it is said the smoke is also
poisonous. So one cannot be too cautious

The Trial of Henry Washington.

The time for the trial of Henry Washing
ton, who is now in our county jail charg-
ed with the murder of Charles Green, was,
by an agreement with Judge Brent, left
to the choice of the counsel i'll the case
the prosecuting attorney, Mr.. Digges,
and the counsel for the prisoner, Messrs.
r. HI. Edelen, of this county. and VIM. A.
Cook, of Washington city. Messrs. Digges
and Edelen have selected Monday, the
5th of July, for the trial. 1t is not how
ever as yet positively certain that the trial
will then take place, as Judge Brent and
Mr.. Cook, who have been written to on
the subject, will have to be heard from
before the time for trial can be definitely
fixed.

one day last week in making the prclimi

terminates in a marsh, and why the man

The Weather.


The anxiously looked for and PRAYED
Tor rain has come at last On Saturday
evening quite a shower fell in the neigh
borhood of Aliens Fresh, and on Sunday
night and Monday most bounteous sup
ply was poured upon the thirsty earth.
Our farmers were jubilant and all hands
and the cook went to work planting to-
bacco and very large portion of the crop
was set out before Tuesday evening. The
plants were In very fine condition and
generally in abundance. All the land
which had been previously prepared was
planted and many farmers went to work
to strike up more hills. The season was
most opportune and found nearly every
body ready for it. Of course there were
some laggards whose plants were too
small or whose land was not ready and
for these the rain came too soon. But for
such men Providence does not care to
wait. 1t only helps those who help them
selves. Though the spring has been un-
usually late, and the wheat is look ing
badly, yet 1t has grown some and this rain
will make wonderful difference in it.
1t is just now beginning to head and the
rain will cause it to fill nicely. The corn
is looking las we'll as could be expected >
Since the rain the weather has been cool
and cloudy, which is favorable to the
young tobacco. but when it turns warm
we may expect to, almost, see the corn
grow. At all events our tobacco crop has
fair start, how it will end depends upon
industry, the worms and the weather. We
can only do our part and for the rest trust
to Providence.
