The Chrome Hill Entertainment,

Chrome Hill was quite Weakened up on Satur-
day night last by grand entertainment, which
afforded much pleasure to an admiring audience
The first sensation of the afternoon was the
ascent of balloon, gotten up for the occasion
by the enterprising genius OF some young gen
tlemen connected with the Lyceum. Said bal
loon made an ;eronautic! expedition of some
four miles, aighting at Jarrettsville, to the as
constituent of the natives.
Then eight youths played match game of
croquct; but Chrome Hill being defeated bore
the loss of victory with as much resignation as
possible. The evening performance, however,
retrieved the vanquished ground, and the intel
lectual element rose superior to the material
showing again the old triumph OF mind over
matter.
The Ethiopian performances of the heroes of
the balloon illustrated the versatile genius of
that party, who were quite MS much at home
under the ebony hue, as ON the subject of ina-
ton.
Handy Andy and the Pantomimic scenes in a
Barber Shop convulsed the audience, shaking
the fat sides of those that possessed them, while
their unfortunate counterparts had TO be con-
tent with rafting their bones.
The gem of the evening was Toodlcs Now,

AccIDENT.-On Monday morning Messrs.
H. Daughton and Cyrus Pussy, who live near
Clermont Mills, were on their way to Bel
Air, in buggy, and when passing Forest
Hill store their horse became frightened at a
child's carriage. In endeavoring to stop him,
one of the reins broke, causing the animal TO
wheel suddenly towards the store porch, up
setting the buggy and throwing both gentle
men out. They were both so severely bruis-
ed as to be scarcely able to walk. Their
horse ran some distance up the road, smash
ed the buggy TO pieces and then returned to
the spot and was captured

Pearce, of Carroll county, and Edward p.
Gwynn, of Baltimore city, have challenged
Mcssrs Caleb L. Wright, of Baltimore coun-
ty, and Daniel Wright, of Hartford county, to
ride in tournament for the championship of

and the contest will probably take place
about the first of October, at Brooklandville.
These gentlemen are among the best riders
in the State, and no doubt it will be the
finest tournament ever held within its con-

stolen from their stable, near Edgewood, and
on the same night the same thief or thieves
entered the carriage house of Mr.. John E.
McComas, on the adjoining farm, and taking
his carriage and q set of harness, escaped
with their booty. Search was made, but
nothing was heard of horse, carriage or har

On Thursday, the 2d inst, some gentlemen
fishing in q small stream in the same neigh

turning subsequently to the spot the carriage
was gone. Upon searching for it, they found
it in another part of the woods. The thieves
were doubtless lurking in the vicinity, and
becoming uneasy removed the carriage after
it had first been discovered. Both carriage
and horse were returned TO their owners, but
neither the harness nor thieves could be found.

RADICAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL recent
drawing Of jurors in Garrett county, a negro
by the name of Alfred NJ. Davis was drawn
by Judge Pearre. The list from which the
drawing was made was prepared by the
Clerk of the court, who, in view of the inter
est excited in the matter, has published a
card, saying that in taking the name from
the poll book he thought it was that of a
white man. No white man answering to the
name mentioned can be found in the county
The Sheriff will not summon the colored
man, because the Clerk says white man was
intended to be drawn. The Judge and the
Clerk are both Republicans, and the desire of
the latter TO avoid doing what his party pre-
tend they ardently desire to do, is scarcely
consistent with party principles, OF with the
Civil Rights law. The reason the negro thus
accidentally drawn is not wanted in the jury
box, is through fear of making the Republic
can party more obnoxious in Garrett county
than It already is.
