Eldersburgh suffered considerably on Sat.
urday uight, oth instant, from the malice Of
some of its citizens. Great indignation was
excited, and on the following Monday. upon
the oath of j. Frizzel, L. A. Barnes aud
Others, charging them with destroying prop
erty, warrants were issued by j. Oliver Wad-
low for the arrest of j. II. Selby. William l..
Swartz and Amos II. Brown. Justice Wndlow
was called to Westminster on business that
day, expecting TO try the accused the next
day, but on his return, about 600 p m. found
the officers with their prisoners anu witne ses
at his Office. An examination look place
Immediately. One of the accused turning
States evidence, gave very important testimO-
ny. The parties were released on bail of
$3.50 each, for their appearance at the spring
term OF court. Witnesses also gave bail for
their appearance. Those of you acquainted
with the character of Mr.. Wadlow, will know
that all parties would be Justly dealt with in
his hands ; and yet, to prove that his justice
is not untempered with mercy, must give
you one little instance. After his long ride
10 and from your city, and the trial immedi.
ately after his return, he rode two miles that
night with one Of the accused, TO see about
getting bail for him, all without having eaten
a morsel of supper 1t strikes me, further
comment would be superfuous.
