JUDGE LEONARD

Was next introduced, and, by way of
parenthesis, eulogized the builder of
Centennial Hall, who is entitled to the
praise OF Hntlboldters az much as
Washington is to that of the Nation
aud all liberty loving people through
out the universe. He said that
one hundred and forty-four years
ago at b idge Creek, on the
Potomac, in Old Virginia, child was
born, and, though the event WAS no
more uncommon than is similar one
now, that child was George Washing
ton. He endeavored to make him ap-
pear like ordinary children, but that
little hatohet affair threw cold water on
his efforts, for no youngster of the
present day, and only one of the past
did anything like that, and he, like tue
previous speaker, had to admit that
there were few such boys, and no such
men as Washington.

DARING ROBBERY AND PROBABLE MURDER
On Monday night last the house OF Captain
Townsend Die. situated on Smiths Island,
Somerset county, Md, during the absence
OF himself and wife ut church, was broken
open and robbed, and his two children, one
thirteen and the other seven years OF age,
forcibly carried off or murdered. Mr.. Die
returned home about 10 o'clock to find all
OF his money, many articles OF valuable pro-
perry, and two canoes gone, and no trace
whatever OF his children.
After searching the island over, he went
TO Crsfcd early Tuesday morning to in,
form the officers OF the law OF the outrage.
1t is to be hoped that the children Will be
found alive, and that the authorities will
spare no effort to bring the perpetrators to
Justice. Following so soon after the rob-
berry OF Mr.. Handy, this would seem to in

BLAINE'S AMENDMENT.-TheH House passed
BLAINE's amendment. The Republican
Senate would improve on it. Even the
Baltimore american deems it a poor affair,
because dnasmuch as it "leavcs the general
fund and all other funds of State treasures
subject to the obnoxious appropriation, all
that would be necessary to avoid the force
OF the proposed amendment would be to
raise money by taxation for the general pur-
poses OF the State, and then appropriate it
to any favored sect or denomination to be
used in the support OF 4 sectarian school,"
But the american had doubtless lost sight
of the fact that Mr.. BLAINE, and not the
Democratic House, worded the amendment.
