A chap, name unknown, swindled
q number Of our people pretty sue
cessfully on Wednesday. He pur-
chased a small white rose from the
greenhouse Of Mr.. Busey, and scent
ing the flower quite highly, he came
to town and went from house to
house, selling aniss seed, put up in
small packages, which he represent
ed as flower seed, and that the rose
which he carried was the product Of
the seed. He succeeded in selling
several hundred packages at good
prices, and then took the train for
Yanclevesville. A number of our
people have good supply Of anise
seed, but we would not advise them
to plant it with the expectation Of
growing white roses. The scamp
ought to be severely dealt with. We
advise the public to look out for
him.

Queer Accident.

We have to record one Of the most
uncommon accidents we have ever
heard of. Tuesday morning Mr..
John Kilmer sent his team, with a
driver, for the purpose Of moving
Mr.. William Roberts. In going down
a slight grade the saddle horse fell
and broke his neck in the fall the
driver caught under the horse and
remained in that position for
several hours, until assistance came
to his relief. The horse broke. his
neck in the fall, and made no strug-
gle, but laid as if he had been shot in
the heart with a minnie ball. The
team stopped and remained standing
until the driver was extricated from
his unpleasant position.

A bad April Fool.

He boarded at one of our promi-
nent hotels, land he has no particular
principles on the monetary question;
consequently the rag baby has no
more charms for him than any other
political subject. In fact the world
does not trouble him much, and it is
not at all likely that he will ever set
the world on fire. But he was troub-
ling the girls of the house on all fools
day; so they thought they would
fix the young man. When he went
to his room that night, he saw some
thing that looked like man. He got
scared and then mad, and rushing
down stairs to the office, demanded
that the intruder be elected from his
room. The joke leaked out when the
room was examined, and rag baby
was found in the bed, and now that
young man will, or ought to, let the
girls alone hereafter. They are 'too
many for him.

A Detectives Romance.

For the past three weeks q man
has been ia Oconto, Wis, whose
actions have been somewhat re-
markable. Dressed as a beggar
and begging from door to door, he
obtained access to q number of
houses, and being quiet and inof-
fensive, no shadow of suspicion
was raised that he was anything
more than he represented himself.
He would sleep in barns and take
what shelter he could from the
weather during nights, and many
times during the day he was a tar
get for the youngsters to SNOWFALL.
Last week he found the man for
whom he was looking and disclo-
sed himself. He was a detective
from Nevada who had followed q
murderer, for whose apprehension
heavy reward had been offered,
for three years, capturing him at
last. Sc.

HAGERsTOWN ITEMS

Burglars are plying their avocation
in the town according to the News.
The stalls in the Hagerstown mar
ket house were rented at public sale,
for one year, on Tuesday. The meat
stalls brought 81 ,009; and the total
amount for meat stalls, vegetable
stands, curb stalls, gutter-snipes,
ETC., foots up 81 ,5sl IA. Over 81 500
per year rent for their market house
is good per cent on the investment.
The excitement is ut fever heat in
regard to the municipal election to
come off on Monday. The bitterness
grows out of the market question,
the issue being the continuation or
adjustment of the permit system
now in the market regulations. The
following are the two tickets in the

ought to be in the penitentiary, on
Tuesday night entered the building
where Drs. Snodgrass and Eliason
keep their riding saddles; and cut
both skirts or flaps off DR.. Eliason's,
and one off a new $S5 saddle belong

they were stolen to be used as sole

will make an effort to ferret out the

Republican State Conven-
sHa ton.

A Convention o the Union Repub-
lican Party of West Virginia will be
held at Clarksburg, w. Va, on
Thursday, May IL, 1876. for the pur-
pose of appointing ten delegates to
the Union Republican National Con-
tion which is to assemble at Cincin-
natl on the 14th day of June, 1875,
and to nominate five Presidential
Electors. as
The committee is Of opinion that
1t will be impracticable to avoid hold
ing two, Conventions, and that the
purposes of this Convention are not
Of sufficient Importance to justify
calling for large county delegations,
and therefore suggests that each
county will send five delegates-these
delegates to be appointed by the
County Executive Committee, or by
County Convention, as such commit
tee may deem expedlent. 1t Is pro-
posed to call another Convention dn-
ring the summer, at which the cem-
mittee hopes to meet all, without re-
gard t. past political differences, or
previous party affiliations, who are
in favor Of making such changes in
our laws as time and experience have
shown necessary; who are in favor
of the continued prosecution and
punishment of official corruption and
who are in favor of retrenchment and

Remember This.

In damp closets and cupboards
which generate mildew, trayful of
quicklime will absorb the moisture
and render the airpure; but of course
it is necessary to renew the lime from
time to time as it becomes Stacked.
This last remedy will be found useful
in safes and strong rooms, the damp
air of which sets frequently most in

documents which they contain.
