Carrying the "Whigs' Past.-We are
about tired Of hearing complaints of tho
Whigs being "carried past" Constantly
the complaint is coming to us of the Wigs
not reaching their destination on Saturday.
Last Saturday they were carried past North
East, and probably other Offices. There is
no excuse for this but carelessness. Such
accidents may happen occasionally with the
best of care, but when they become chronic
it is time some investigation was had by
the Department and little Jewell reform
applied. If this carrying past is not mend
ed we will carry the complaint to headquar-
ters and sndeavor to have agents placed on
who will attend to their duty. If people
do not receive their papers by the mails
they are due it is an injury to the pu ublisher
in his business, and not such light offense
that mail agents can 60 on committing it
with impunity.
Robberies..-Th house of Mr.. Kitchens,
on the farm near the Elkton depot, was
entered through window on Friday night
OF last week, and number of articles
stolen from rooms on the first floor.
On Tuesday night last the dwelling Of
Mrs. Thackery, on the Blue Ball road,
about two miles from town, was entered

quiry a. to who was there aroused ono OF
the young mon in the house, who, arming
himself with gun, went in search of the
thief, but he had become alarmed and made
his escape.
There is report that an attempt was
made, one night this week, to rob a gentle
man while driving along the public road in
this nsighborhood.
The barn Of Mr.. Rsgan, on ono of Mr..
Crsswell's farms, near town, was entered
