THE ACTOR G RANGER.-The Baltimore Bullet
in, IN announcing the appearance of Mr.. John
E. Owens, at Ford's Opera House, fer one night,
Goth inst.) says: "Mr. John E. Owens, like a
Thespian Cincinnatus, has left the plough and
comes to Baltimore to relieve an emergency of
the dramatic republic. Washing from his
hands the marks of his bucolic occupations
and ensconscing himself in a handsome one
horse vehicle with a corpulent trunk attached
in front, he has come from rural Towssntewn
to play The Tictims and Scion Shingle for the
benefit of Mr.. C. E. Ford, next Friday even
ing. 1t would be unbecoming in US to reveal
the secrets of Mr.. Owens farm life, or to say
how much he gets for the corn that it costs
him so-and-so to raise, or for the pigs that eat
so much of the corn that cost such and such a
price, and all the other delicious particulars OF
his agricultural economy. The public, which
at eventide turns its face towards Towsontewn
and prays, has only to do with Mr.. Owens, the
comedian, and can never come any nearer to a
knowledge of Mr.. Owens, the agriculturist of
the Remote Belt, than is implied in "Solen
Single"

MEETING OF THE AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-A
meeting of the Maryland Agricultural Society
will be held June 1st-Thursday next-to con-
from Pimlico to point on the BALTIC. & OhiC
r. R., short distance from the city. Members
of Farmers Clubs, Unions, Oranges, &c. are
specially invited to be present at this meeting
which will be held at the Office of the Society
corner Eutaw and Fayette streets. In oui
opinion it will require more than a change o.
location to make this Society successful. II
needs different class of farmers at the head
of its affairs from those now in charge, to start
with. Until this change is made we need look
for no improvement.

DEATH OF RESPECTED CITIzEN.-Mr. joseph
German, a much respected citizen of the 18th
district, died very suddenly on the night of the
17lh inst, in the 18th year of his age. Mr..
German partook of hearty supper, having
felt we'll during the day, and retired about s
o'clock, as was his custom. Shortly afterwards
his wife noticed that he seemed to be breath
ing heavily. She called one of her sons but
before be reached the bedside of his father he
was dead.
A correspondent writes as follows: "Mr.
German, at the age of fifteen years, embraced re-
ligion, and joined the NJ. E. church, and for six
ty years worshiped at what is known as Gatch's
meeting house. In 1928 he married Miss
Lander, of Baftimore.- This union was Dressed
with twelve children, ten sons and tive daugh-
tiers, all of whom grew up to be respectable
men aud women, and all now living. What is
rather remarkable not one of the sons either
use tobacco or drink intoxicating liquors. All
of them are members of church-ene minis
ter. Eleven of the children followed their
father to his last resting place, the only absent
one being the son in the ministry, who could
not be present He has left his family rich
legacy-a good example. The writer of this
was intimate with Mr.. German for thirty years,
and never will forget the good advice he has
given him. l will quote the language of the
Psalmist in conclusion: mark the perfect
man and behold the upright, for the end of that
man is peace" 7. G.

TAX ON WATcHEs.--These who own watches
will be pleased to learn, no doubt that either a
defect or intentional omission in the new as
sessment law exempts them frem taxation.-
Although one branch of the Legislature was
favorable to taxing those necessary chronome-
tiers of passing moments, the other did not see it
in the same light. Though they are named in
the Cemptrollers circular as among the things
to be returned to the assessors, as the law is,
no tax can be collected upon them.-Annapolis
Advertiser

if of Cecil county, stating that Joseph Allison
a noted thief, had escaped from the Jail at Elk
ton the night before, and had started towards
Baltimore. Officer Stewart started on the hunt
of the fugitive and it was not long before he
"struck his trail" He was followed to Hamp
den, Falls road, where he was arrested at four
o'clock on the same day, and at eight o'clock
that evening he was landed in his old quarters
at Elkton. Officer Stewart deserves much
credit for his promptness in making this ar

ATTACHED WITNEssEs.-Two witnesses, who
had been brought up under attachments, ap-
peared in the Circuit Court on Tuesday morn
ing. The first man, on being asked why he
had not obeyed the summons of the Court,
stated that he had had ga pain in his heel and
couldn't get out" On this ground he was ex-
cused. The second man, on being Intercepted,
said that be had already attended Court sixteen
days on the same case: that he had never re-
ceived anything as witness fees, and that the
reason he did not obey the last summons of the
Court was because he had not the money to
come to Towsontewn. Judge Yellott stated
that in civil suits witnesses could not be com
PEELED to attend Court unless their per diem
was paid by the parties interested. This not
having been done the excuse of the witness was
considered valid one and the attachment was
accordingly quashed.
