A BEGGING LErTER.-At a critical moment
in The Frederick Radical Convention, Thurs
day night, a letter from Mr.. Blaine was read
TO the effect that ii was Of great importance
10 him that Maryland should send pledged
delegation to Cincinnati and that settled it,
They SO to stand by him as long as there is a
reasonable" hope Of his nomination.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writing from Washington, under date Of the
9Th inst, says 1.-THE letter of Mr.. Blaine,
read at the Maryland republican convention,
meets with considerable comment here, and is
regarded rs an extraordinary act Such a
thing has never been known before as presi-
DENTAL candidate signing his own name 10
such a document Mr.. Blaine evnees great
iudisposilon to talk on the subject, and shows
that he is very much annoyed by it, He says
that the letter was strictly private one to Mr..
Thomas, written in reply TO one from that
gentleman, and he is much surprised that Mr.
Thomas should have disclosed its contents
He wrote the letter at his desk in the House
and has no copy of il, and therefore does not
remember exactly what his words were. This
incident has had the effect to close Mr. Blaine S
mouth very tight, and he declines at this time
to say one word on the subject of the presi-
dcncy -

High way Robbery.

i y
! A few days since eolored man By the
name of Warren, who had been work
ing for Mr.. Brooke, in this district was
knocked down and robbed, about two miles
below this place. For sometime previous,
Warren and a maiden, dark, of Washington
city had been gliding happily along the tran
quill current Of blissful courtship toward an
anticipated consummation Of their mutual
hopes, where they would join hands in a con
secrated union and enter upon the stormy bill
lows of matrimonial infelicity. The anxiously
looked for morn al last arrived and Warren
with his wedding suit Of fine broadcloth under
his arm and the necessary amount for paying
the marriage expenses 10 his pocket started
toward Rockville to take the early train for
Washington. A sunbeam Of joy played like
an angel of light over his face, smile of hap
piness like dew drop on a red rose glisiened
on his yermlion lips, and bis heart beat in
sweet harmony TO the caroling Of the song
siers Of spring as dancing Cupid led him with
buoyant steps toward the realm of lymcn -
But, alas sad disappointment waited by the
wayside for his coming. A secluded spot up
on the road furnished concealmeut to two
criminal-hearied men who waited with clubs
for the coming Of the bridegroom, and who
stepped out behind him and felled him to the
ground. When he returned to consciousness
he found that he had been set upon by thieves
and that his wedding garments and silver
change were missing. He was unable 10 re-
cognize The robbers, and, of course, they have
not yet been apprehended.
Warren, shorn of happiness, returned
gloomy and detected wearing the mourning
of despair 10 Mr.. Brookes, while the bride
elect sat trsmblingly upon the shores of ma
trimony and waited in vain his arrival.
Warren sorrows at the wrong moment and
if he could only realize from what he has been
rescued a more radiant JOY would light up his
face than beamed there the morning he started
to make that iniliatory movement in divorce
suit called marriage.
1t is strange that good fortune often comes
with club in her hands; and when we Think
we are receiving her heaviest blows she is
sho~ering her choicest blessings upon us.

New School House.

For some time past petition has been in
circulation in this community praying the
County Commissioners to make an additional
levy at their June meeting for the purpose of
erecting new public school bonse in this
place The building now used for the public
school is situated on very small lot at the
eastern end of the town, and the house is en-
lrely too small to accommodate the large and
increasing number of pupils. In shape and
size it somewhat resembles a one-story barn OF
canal boat, and the limited space of ground
does not afford any convenience for exercise
and recreation TO the scholars. What is really
needed here is good large two-story build
ing with room for two or three departments oil
teaching, and surrounded by ample grounds,
suitably enclosed and planted with shade trees
The present building and lot can no doubt be
sold TO the Agricultural Society, which now
owns the land on both sides, for good price,
and with an additional levy of few hundred
dollars our town can be supplied with a honst
that will reflect credit on the community and
be source of great advantage to the rising
generation.
