New Cure for The Rlnes.

Many people are troubled with the
malaiy known as "the blues" Some
find a cure in active employment some
IN good works; others medicate their
liver. But the most unique receipt for
curing them is given in a letter lately
published in the New York World, writ
ten by the poet John Keats to his broth
er George, who settled in Kentucky
After sympathlzing with his brother in
the latter's pecuniary losses, he says,

John Browns Boy.

met at Putin-Bay the other day
John Brown, son OF Ossawattomie
Brown, whose famous raid on Harper
Ferry may well be called the beginning
OF the hostilities that ended the irrepres-
sible conflict, and of whom millions
have sung "HIs body lies molding in the
grave, but his soul goes marching on. "
Sixteen or seventeen years ago Mr..
Brown became enamored Of seclusion
and determined to take his family and
with 1t seclude himself away from the
noise and confusion Of busy life. With
this object in view he purchased four
teen acres OF land on what was then
known as South Bass, but is now called
Putin Bay island. At that time the
population of the island consisted of but
few families, and the primal forest
held possession of the greater portion OF
the land. Clearing off enough Of the
latter to give room tor his dwelling and
to cultivate an acre or so Of grapes, he
took up his residence there, ana there
he has ever since resided. In course Of
time Putln- Bay became watering place
and the presence OF thousands OF visitors
interierred sadly with the life ofrecluse,
but after while Mr.. Brown began 10
wax prosperous, and doubt now 1T he
doesn't enjoy the presence of visitors,
when they do not interfere with his
labor, about as we'll as the average So
cial man. founi him, in company

Gen. Sherwood, who is an old acqua in

and watched with interest the compound
ing of the mildew destroying mixture.
Mr.. Brown is about five feet ten or
eleven inches high, of very stalwart
build, and will readily pull down the
scales at two hundred pounds. HIS face
ia ruddy with the hue of perfect health,
and his beard and moustache have been
whitened by the summers, of | shonld
think, at least fifty winters. He is sand
to resemble, in facial and general build
and appearance, his celebrated father,
and If such be the case, cold Osawatto-

as he was in character. Gen. Sherwood

paper, The Toledo Sunday Journal. IA

his asking Mr.. Brown if he had correct

to put IN my reportorial oar, aud do "A

A MIDNIGHT ADvESrURE-A CORPSE ON A RAIL
ROAD TRAcK.-The half-past eleven o'clock car
from Baltimore on Tuesday night, Joshua Frock
fireman, and Andy Reuter- engineer, met with an
adventure which for the Towsontown road, at
least, was very startling and unusual. As the car
approached the residence of Mr.. Jno. B. Connel-
", at Govanstown-the hour about 123-the en-
gneer noticed an obstruction on the track just
in front of him. The car was stopped and sever
al advanced to determine the cause Of the delay.
What was their horror to find acorpse prone upon
the rails consultation was had and it was de-
cided-in view of the positive requirements of the
company to make time-to remove the body to the
side of the road and proceed. This was accord
ingly done by fastening extra trace, which hap
pened to be in the car, about the neck, and at
taching one of the car horses to this the remains
we're conveyed to the opposite side of the pike,
and the journey was resumed. We had forgot to
mention before that the corpse was that of an old
gray horse, the property of a citizen of Govans-
town. 1t is thought the old equine had been kept
on short allowance at home and having gotten out
Of ibis stable started on a foraging expedi-
ton. Reaching the residence of Mr.. Connolly he
looked over the fence and saw goodly quantity
of provender which so affected him that he drop
ped dead.

A POSTMASTER IN TRoUBLE.-John S. Sommers,
postmaster at Mount Winans, Baltimore county,
was arrested last week and confined in the county
Jail to answer three indictments charging forgery.
Two of these indictments charge the forging on
the I'd instant of bonds to the United States in the
sum of $500 for the faithful performance by the
traverser of his duties as postmaster, said bonds
purporting to have been executed by VIM. Handy
and VIM. R. Hopkins ; and the third is an indict-
ment for forging certificate of Justice Lewis Leh-
man to the identity and suficiency of the above
alleged sureties on the bond Handy and Hopkins
Sommers says he never saw the bonds on which
the indictments were framed and knows nothing
of them that some time since one of his sureties
on prior bond desired to be released, and with
this object in view he wrote to the Postofice De-
partment at Washington for blank boud, with
out elicting any reply. He believes he is the vic
tim of a conspiracy by some enemies who wanted
to get him out of his position as postmaster. He
was also ticket agent at Mount Winans for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. There are some Of
his neighbors who also believe him the victim Of
conspiracy. On Friday sommers was released
in 81, 500 bail.

WooDDERRY NorEs.-Messrs. Editors Quite
an excitement was caused on last Thursday morn
ing near Union avenue, over a human skeleton,
which was found by Mr.. Nelson R. Disney, who
was doing some fencing for Robert Poole, Esq.
Mr.. Disney was digging post hole when he dis
covered it. The news soon spread, and, in short
time, four or five hundred people had gathered to
witness the scene. There was hole found in the
skull, above one of the temples, and some think
that the man was shot, but that is mere con-
lecture. The whole affair is a mystery, the
coolest inhabitant" knows nothing about the grave,
or Its circumstances.
The Woodberry M. E. Sunday school held its
regular monthly missionary meeting on last Sun
day afternoon. An excellent programme had been
prepared for the occasion, consisting Of original

there to spend pleasant afternoon. This is, per-
haps, the largest school in the State, having an
average attendance Of nearly five hundred, and is
under the supervision of Messrs. Jas. E. Hooper
and Thomas MoCrea.
A Sunday school exhibition was held in Hamp
den NJ. P. church on Friday evening of last week.
1t consisted of speaking and singing, principally
by tho scholars Of the school. Thechurch was full,
and the audience well pleased. The exhibition
will be repeated on next Friday evening, April
9th, by general request
