Heavy Freshets.
From parties visiting our town on
Monday We learn that the heavy rain
Oh sunday last caused many Of our
Streams ....t t. s,ti96 aFsB8, and II Is feared
that much Of the tobacco crop in that see
ton will be lost, and many head Of cattle
drowned. Port Tobacco run was high
er than we have seen it for years and
much damage is reported in our valley.
Out Laws in our Midst.
We are crelbly informed that
there are two fugitive outlaws at large
in our midst and that they have frequent
ly been seen OF late in the neighborhoods
Of Patuxcnt City and Benedict by the
early risers Of those places. The names
Of these parties are James Norman and
William Shorter, the former Of whom,
it will be remembered, was indicted
jointly with one Henry Dickerson for
the murder Of Capt Pritchard on board
Of his schooner, whilst engaged in run
ming oysters from the Eastern shore to
Baltimore, sometime during the latter
part Of the war, and who made his
escape whilst awaiting trial. Dickerson,
his accomplish, was sentenced to the
Pcnitentiary for life Shorter was ar
rested in this county about the same
time for stealing a canoe from Cam
bridge and which he sold to the lac
Captain Roach of Benedict lie broke
jail with Norman and they are supposed
to have been to@ethcr ever since. There
is large standing reward for the appre-
hension Of Norman and also reward
for Shorter Would it not be we'll for
some of our officers, in the interest of
society Ne. as well as in their own
precuniary interest, to keep a lookout
for these fellows?
