THAT PIG.-A resident of this town, while on
visit to the upper end of the county fortnight
ago, bought pig and brought it home with him
in box. 1t being late when he got home he
turned the pig loose in the cellar and being obiig
ed to 90 to the city next morning he had not time
to make pen for the pig until his return and the
little fellow was left to roam at will around the
cellar. When our friend got back from the city
and looked into the cellar he thought some one
must have been in there with two-hOrse pillow,
as the whole floor was turned upside down, the pig
being rooter of the first magnitude. He then
built pen across one corner of his stable and
transferred his pigshp to it, but he didn't like 1t
and wouldn't stay. He then caught him and after
putting him back built the pen higher. The pig
jumped out again, and all the work had to- be
done over the pen being built higher each time.
This jumping out and building the pen higher
continued until it was almost impossible to get
feed in to the porcine, on account of the extreme
height of the pen, when the little fellow adopted
a new plan Seeing that his master had gotten
the better Of him in one way he bethOught him
| self of another-he rooted hole under the pen
and got out by that means. And now our friend
wants to know how he is to keep that pig

FROM PHnOPoLIs.-The storm of Oct. 4th did
not fail to leave its mark in the vicinites of Phil
opolis and Glencoe. 1t was one of the most ter
rife that has ever visited this section of the coun-
try. Cornfelds, where the tops had been cut, look
as if flood had covered them, dashing the corn
to the ground and washing the earth over great
deal of it, making it liable to sprout and mould.
Fields, and especially those lately sOwn in grain,
were washed considerable.
The Piney run overlooked its banks, carrying
much corn and fencing with it. Mr.. Elias Mat
thew's mill, near the York pike, was entered by
the water element, causing the owner to remove
his grist to the second floor. So great was the
the lower story of Mr. Caleb Pearce's house, leav-
ina therein considerable sand and mud.
The Gunpowper falls overfowed its banks doing
much damage in the way of breaking down and
carrying away fencing, washing over and cover
ing up much corn that was topped and removing
a great deal that was cut off. About 100 barrels
of corn was covered by the flood, belonging to
Mr.. E. Stewart and Joseph Novel, the waters be-
ing about six feet deep on their property. num-
Der of telegraph poles along the railroad were
washed down, also minor damages causing night
work for the railroad men.
On Monday night, Oct. Sth, heavy rain fell
making great freshet, the waters flooding the lands
raising within few inches of the previous flood
The freshets have had tendency to weaken the
abutments of Sparks bridge sOmuch that it should
receive prompt attention from the Commissioners.
Much timber and rails were banked against the
bridge and fears were entertained OF losing IT.
An island under the bridge and extending north
about 80 yards is the cause of the accumulation
of so much lumber, &c. PHILoPOLIs.

| REMOVAL OF THE CASES OF JUDGES GRAsoy AND
lELLoTT ASKED FOR.-On Tuesday last Jervis
Spencer Esq, States Attorney, filed suggestions
for the removal of the cases of Judges Grason and
Yellott to some other Court. The reasons assigned
for asking for the removal are identical in each
case and are follows:
"The State of Maryland, by Jervis Spencer, the
States Attorney for Baltimore county, in this
case suggests to the court here that he believes he
cannot have fair and impartial trial in this court
and prays the court to order and direct the removal
of the record of proceedings in this case to the
court of some adjoining circuit for trial for the fol-
lowing reasons:
because being new case, of great gravity and
Importance to the people of Baltimore county, it
has been the subject of universal comment and dis
cussion, much that few Intelligent men could
be found who have not both formed and expressed
opinions relative thereto because the moral at
mosphere surrounding of such magnitude
should be perfectly pure and free from all preju-
dice, feeling and passion, which connot be so at
the trial of this in Baltimore county because
the presiding judge is important witness in this
case, and therefore oughtnO to sit in the premises
he necessarily having formed an opinion
"For these and other reasons making the truth
of this suggestion and the reasonable grounds
therefore apparent to every impartial mind.
"JERvIs SPENCER,
"The States Attorney for Baltimore county,"
Judge Waters fixed Friday, October 18th, as
the day for a hearing of the suggestions for re-
mOval.

Mr.. Micajah Cooper met with bad accident on
Sunday last. He was riding along the road above
Pine Grove church, talking to an old lady who was
going to church, when the mare he was riding
suddenly fell down, throwing Mr. Cooper off and
would have rolled over on him had not the lady
caught hold of the bride and pulled the marc the
other way. AS Mr.. Cooper is an old man-over
seventy years of age-and the mare falling so
sudden, he was unable to get his foot out of the
stirrup. The mare in getting up tramped on his
hand tearing the flesh off the back of it to the
bone. While in this condition young man came
along and released his foot and came down to the
church and made known the accident. Mr.. A. S.
Cooper took up his buggy and conveyed the old
gentleman to his home. DIR. F. d. Mitchell was
sent for and dressed the wound.
Political matters appear to be quiet. What the
county wants now is men that can't be bought,
and who will perform the duties of the Office to
which they are elected, or appointed, for fair
compensation, and who will not require extra pay
for performing those duties, some who have held
office have done, who perhaps have thought that
the salary was for the honor of holding the office
and the extra pay for performing the duties Of the
same. For further information see Auditors re-
port. Yours truly, +. 5. Cross.

The Kemper County Tragedy.

While some of our northern doughface
republican papers are publishing articles
apologizing for the assassinations in KEN
per county Mississippi, the correspond
ents who have visited the scene of the
bloody tragedy write home letters that
confound the apologists of the bulldozers.
A correspondent of the Tribune who was
sent South to write letters home in favor
of the pacifcation policy writes in a sec
ond letter as follows:
''Nothing is talked Of here but the Kemper
County tragedy, and a shocking lack of anything
like wholesome public opinion concerning the
crime Is manifested. Everything that can be said
against the victims is eagerly believed, because
they belonged to the hated class of Radicals.
Even the leading newspaper tries to make the
cowsrdly, brutal mob appear heroic, and condemns
the conduct Of Gov. Stone in gong to the scene
Of the outrage. According to the ethics that ap.
pear To prevail here the assassination of one man
was properly avenged by the murder Of two men
OF the opposite party on the mere suspicion of
guilt, of one man acknowledged to be innocent,
and Of defenseless child. and the cruel wound
ing Of young girl. These are the morals of the
Sioux Indians. When one of their number is
killed and they cannot catch the crmina al they put
one of his relatives TO death. The DeKalb mob
were less merciful than the Sioux. They suspect
ed Rush Of assassinating Gully, but they could
not fnd him, SO they determined to massacre two
or three Of bis personal and political friends. An
act so horrible has seldom stained the annals Of
crime, and yet there are many intelligent, reputa
BILE citizens so blinded by political passion as te
justify the deed and there are very many Others
who seek to extenuste it. csn make great al.
lowance for the morbid state of feeling growing
out Of the abuses and expressions inflicted on the
people Of this section by the class of men to VIII ch
Judge Chisolm aud Gilmer belonged, bu, cannot
understand why the shocking act Of lawlessness
and injustice Of which they were the victims does
not meet with the indignation Of all good citizens
Much less can l understand how the murder of
the ScQtchman Mcclellan, who, all acknowledge
to have been innocent Of any crime, the barbarous
killing of Chisolms son, an invalid boy of 10, and
the shooting Of his daughter, call forth no dem
