THE MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,"
Since the close of the late exhibition of the
Maryland Agricultural and Mechanical Asso-
citation at Pimlico the officers and members
have been engaged in the settlement of the
premiums and consideration of other matters
Of Importance and interest to the Society and
general public. 1t will lie remembered that
during the late fair very inclement weather
prevailed, rain having fallen nearly every day
of the exhibition. This interfered seriously
with the attendance, and consequently the re-
ceipts into the treasury, which latter were also
lessened by the failure of the City Register to
pay over the $4,000 appropriated by the City
Council, growing out of the injunction issued
in the Circuit Court in the matter of the ''sec-
tartan cases." The test case in this matter if
decided favorably to the institutions and asso-
Citations interested, the Agricultural Society
will receive the amount named. A rumor hav-
ing been circulated to the effect that the Socie
ty had been unable to pay its premium list
Mr.. T. B. Dorsey, Secretary of the association
states that, notwithstanding these embarrass-
ments, all premiums of fifteen dollars and less
awarded to exhibitors at the late fair, together
with fifty per cent. of all the larger premiums
were promptly paid at its close. Should the
suit terminate favorably for the Society, the
$4,000 obtained will be applied to the payment
of the remaining half of the large premiums
due to the exhibitors. Everything was and is
now satisfactory to the members of the associa-
ton and exhibitors at the late fair, full un-
derstanding having been arrived at with all the
parties interested, at its close. No proposition
to sell the grounds or dissolve the association
has ever been made, but general understand
| ing has been had among the members that,
owing to the Centennial at Philadelphia next
year, with its immense attractions, it would
not be policy to hold any exhibition at Pimlico.
| Mr.. Dorsey says further that no foundation
existed in fact for the rumored dissolution OF
the association or dissatisfaction among the re-
cent exhibitors on accounted the non payment
| of premiums.
The Maryland Jockey Club, By the terms Of
their present lease, which runs only from year
to year, have the use of the grounds and build
ngs, upon condition that they keep them in
repair.
If the proposed Baltimore Trotting Associa-
ton is organized during the coming season, it
is more than probable that revenue from rents
will accrue to the association which will make
its financial condition much easier.

Dir. Moran, Tor example, makes the following
statement with reference to the place where
Poe was found and the person who rescued
him:
edgar A. Poe was brought in hack to the
Washington University Hospital. situated in
Broadway, north of Baltimore street, Baltimore
CITY, on the 9TH of October 1849. He had been
found lying upon bench in front of large
Mercantile house on Light street wharf. He
was in stupor, whether from liquor or opium
was not at first known. A gentleman passing
along the pavement noticed several persons
collected about the spot, aud looking in through
the crowd was suddenly impressed with the
face, and on close inspection recognized the
poet. He had been there since early dawn
policeman sent for q hack and directed the
hackman to convey him to the above-named
hospital, which was in my charge"
Now, the only way we can reconcile this state
ment with that Of DR.. Snodgrass, who assures
us that he was taken from Cootb d Sargent's
tavern directly to the hospital, is by suppospg
that he was taken from Light-strset wharf as
the victim Of an election "coop," to be voted
there and elsewhere, after having been drench-
ed with whiskey, (of which we are sorry to
state, from personal observation of him in Phil
adelphia when around the Ledger office, of
which we were an attache, he was fond and that
DR.. Snodgrass put stop to the fulhlment OF
the purpose of the unprincipled psrtizans by
hiring room for him, and keeping an eye on
| him till a relation came and hired the carriage
which took him to the hospital in the condition
of drunken stupor which he describes so graph
cally.
Now, as to another point DIR. Moran speaks
of Poe as if he was elegantly dressed" when
received at the hospital, whereas the garb in
which he was found by DR.. Snodgrass was such
| as made his "whole exterior repulsive." DR..
| Moran must settle this discrepancy with DR..
Snodgrass. Our recollection of Poes habtual
exterior would incline us to side with DR.. s. on
this point. And, generally, we say, we prefer
| to believe the statement of the Good Samaritan
who rescued him from the hands of the politi-
cal thieves whom he had fallen among as to
this point, especially as we are assured that
the basis of the article from the New York Nag
azine in 1857 ives prepared and published only
five years after POe's death, and is, therefore,
more likely to be precise as to recollection Of
the facts than DIR. M. could probably be, who
now, after the lapse of more than quarter OF

. century, fO' the first time undertakes to give
them to the public.
There can be no doubt, much as we may re-
greet to think Of the fact, that Edgar Allen Poe's
death in early manhood was precipitated by
his intemperate habiIs, and that his name must
60 into history as only another addition to the
long line OF poetic victims of the bowl No
desire to enrol him n the calendar of the saints
should be permitted to pervert the truth of his
tory. That would loe carrying the ode nsortuus
nisi 5onwn" rule, which is Pagan and not
Christian ct BEST and applies to private and
not public characters, unwisely far.

CoURT OF Tuesday, Nou. 16M.-
The case of Kesiah Brooks VS.. VIM. Brooks and
Sam'l Pinkerton, executors of Joseph Brooks,
deceased, was before the Court OF Appeals to,
day. The appeal in this case is taken by the
appellant from an order of the Orphans Court
of Baltimore county dismissing her petition
The facts of the case are that Joseph Brooks by
his will devised his property to his wife and
children, but directed that his farm should not
be sold until five years, his wife, if she lived,
having the right to occupy the farm. After
the real estate issold, the wife brings in bill of
$517.76, that she alleges she has paid for taxes,
and $34.S0 for insurance and improvements
The executors refused to pay the bill, and the
Orphans Court of Baltimore county, sustained
the executors, hence the appeal. VIM. S. Keech
for appellees, R. ]. Cuttings and D. G. McIn-
tosh for appellant.

GAGGED" HIS CoMPANIoN.-A case OF acci-
dental shooting occurred about noon on Friday
of last week on the old Almshouse property,
near the city limits. Two young men, George
Laferty and Thomas Foster, were cunning in
the woods, and at the time Laferty was stoop-
ing over a spring in the act OF washing his
hands. Foster was standing some fifteen feet
behind him, and having loaded and capped h is
gun, Yves in the act OF letting down the ham
mer, when it accidentally fell to he ground
from his hands, and was discharged, some if
teen of the shot lodging in the lower portion of
the right leg of Lafferty and Two or three in
the upper portion. The wounded man was re-
moved to his home in the city. The injuries
are not Of such character as to render the loss
of the limb probable.
