SO feet in length, on the corner of Main and

FROM the top of the pole with the names Til.

had scarcely began to speak before it be.
gan to rain, consequently he was as brief
as possible, as he did not wish to keep the
people standing in the rain. After he retired
DIR. +. I. Shaw was called for; he was more
lengthy in hisremarks, he saidif people were
willing to stand in the rain to listen he could
speak. Mr.. Norment was called for next
Each speaker expressed his dislike to keep
men standing in the rain, yet the crowd stood,
regardless Of the inclemency of the weather,
which is an evidence of their appreciation Of
the speaking. Not one abusive word toward
the opposing party was said by either of the
speakers. They gave nothing but facts which
they were prepared to prove. After the meet.
ing adjourned three hearty cheers were given
for Hon. Charles B, Roberts.

Mr.. j. Dayhoff, our worthy blacksmith, is
not only master Of his occupation, but is also
quite ansexpert in handling good rife, with
which he brought down hawk on Monday
last which measured feet inches from tip

try yard pests that Mr.. Dayhoff has secured
during the present year, and for which he is
entitled to rs cents each. This paltry sum
is but secondary consideration in Mr.. Day.
hoff's estimation compared with self gratifi-
cation, and the commentator and occasional
donations he receives from poultry raisers in
the neighborhood. Do not get impatient,

number Of citizens Of this county, WHO have
presented cxtravagant and fraudulent claims
TO the Government for payment, for damages
sustained during the rebellion TO their prop

Union troops. The matter eliminated last
week, by the appearance here of Deputy u.

for the arrest Of Messrs. George Thomas, of
H., Of Buckeystown District, Ezra NJ. Thorn.
as, Of Jefferson District and Lewis Stull, of
Frederick District, upon the charge of MAX
ing out fraudulent claims against the U. S.
Government. They were taken to Baltimore
and each gave bond for 1000 for their ap.
pearance. About the same time, Col. G. W.
u. Black, Government Claim Agent at Wash.
llngton, was also arrested, and a Mr.. Fitch,
In the same business, (who hearing that a
warrant was issued against him. appeared
before the court and gave bond for the same
amount. They are charged with conspiring
with the Messrs. Thomas and Stull in max

HighiOdymen. night last week, Mr..
Samuel Getzendanner, whilst on his way
home from this city, in buggy, and when
passing through the covered bridge over the
Monocacy river, on the Woodsboro' turnpike,
his horse SHE'D to one side and stopped, and
he got out Of the buggy to see what was wrong,
when man confronted him, and demanded
his life or his money. Mr.. Getzendanner,
who had in his coat pocket bottle filed with
liquor, pulled 1t out, threw some of the con-
tents in the mans face, who darted to one
side and ran away, when Mr.. G. jumped in
his buggy and rapidly drove off. A few nights
after, an attempt was made to halt another
party passing through the same bridge, but
he cutting his horse drove rapidly away.
Persons passing through this bridge at night
should go well armed and put bullet in these
highwaymen.

BARN BURSED.-The Mechanicstown Cldr.
ion, of Thursday, says ON Thursday night
last, the large bank barn belonging to Mr..
Nelson Ramsburg, situated short distance
west of Lewistown, near the mountain, was
burned to the ground together with four hor.
ses, three colts, four rUvs, 400 bushels of
wheat, large quantity of hay and oats, all
his farming utensils, harness &C., in fact
every thing that was in the building was de.
stroyed. The FIRE was discovered short time
after the incendiary torch was applied but too
late for either he or the neighbors, who were
soon on the ground, to recover any movable
articles from it. The barn was a new one,
having only been erected last spring in place
Of one blown down in March last. The loss
is very heavy, no insurance. This is the third
incendiary fire Mr.. X. has sustained during
the past month or so, and it looks very much
as though he has some bitter enemies who
seem bent upon wreaking their vengeance by
burning his property. Shortly after the last
fire was discovered man on horse back was
seen riding rapidly away by some of the
neighbors, and it is supposed that he applied
the match, but owing to the darkness Of the
night it was impossible to recognize him.
