scene an exciting one. The captured miner
was well personated by Joseph Archer.
Trials of speed, including hurdle race,
followed, the result of which will be reported

age of CT. DR.. Polk was one of the most
prominent physicians in the State. He
studied medicine with his stepfather, the late
Professor Davidge, of the Maryland Univer-

practitioners in Maryland. He was noted
for his unvaryng kindness to the poor of the
neighborhood, whom he attended in all their
sickness, and against whom he made no
charge for medical services.
DIR, Polk was for many years, until his
health failed, prominent in the political af-
fairs of the county as member of the Demo

the State Legislature, and held the position
of Guano Inspector of Baltimore, under
Governor Lowe.
He was man of much cultivation, of fine
talents, and was noted for his hospitality and
courtesy. He will be missed in the county,
and his death has occasioncd general and
profound regret.
