but which came to a stand-still for want Of CAPT
tai. No definite action was taken, and after gen
eral exchange of views the meeting adjourned to

THE DELTA AND BALTIMORE MARROW GAUGE
Of this enterprise, the York pa Tree Democrat
says: "a movement is on foot to build mar
row-guage railroad from Delta to Baltimore.
Well, why not? Ultimately every section Of the
country will be crossed and re-crossed by lines of
railway having their terminus in the large bust
ness centres, and for that reason, we do not con-
slider this movement premature. We understand
that the prospect Of success is very fair"

THEY "WExr THROUGH" THE MARKEr-The
Baltimore Erening News of Tuesday says: "Two
young men named Chas. B. Rogers and 3. A. Cock
ey, from Baltimore county, were arrested this
morning by Sergeant Handy and Officer Spang
Ter, for riding horseback through the Lexington
market during market hours. The young men
were first inclined to treat the matter as joke,
which would do to raise laugh some dry day in
Towsontown, but they soon had reason to change
their opinion when Justice Peters read the law to
them on the subject, and said no should fine them
81 and costs each, amounting in all to $3.50 for
the two. The taller of the two rural horsemen,
pulled vigorously at his nuburA mustache, and
getting excited, said that he did not think it was
fair, because he was not supposed to know the
law. Besides, he saw no notice posted up on any
of the lamp posts and he thought there should be.
The fines were paid, however, and the two young
men rode off, while one Of them exclaimed, "Pd
like to catch that fellow in Baltimore county," re-
ferring of course to Justice Peters, who does not
go fishing in Baltimore county, anyhow. Scarce
~ had the horsemen gone out Of sight, when one
of them returned, and asked for the numbers OF
the policemen that had made the arrest These
were given him on a slip ofpaper, and he straight
way proceeded to go to the Office of the Police
Marshal for the purpose, it is supposed, of hsv-
| ing the officers dismissed

How HE SAVED HIS Householder novel way
Of saving house took place in Waverley, York
road, on Thursday night of last week. A person
leased an unimproved lot of ground and died, ow
ing $500 rent thereon. Some time previous to his
sub-lessee erected thereon comfortable residence
for his family, punctually paying his ground rent
Legal proceedings being had, the hard law SUBJ
jected the sub-lessee's house and home to execu-
ton for payment of the $500 which he did not
owe. Accordingly he made law unto himself in
the premises, and on the night preceding the day
when his property was to have been seized, he,
with large number of friends and neighbors
carefully pulled down his house and carried away
all the materials of which it was constructed with
intent to build on more permanent location. 1t
is said the sublessee is poor man, and had built
his house by much sweat of his brow.

tho dead body of man named Handlin, living
near the Upper Cross Roads, Hartford county, was
found lying across stump in the woods of Mr..
James Brogden, on the west prong of the Hartford
turnpike. Handlin was returning from market
and being intoxicated it is supposed he strayed
into the woods, his horse and wagon proceeding on
towards home. Justice John W. Burton held an
inquest on the body, the verdict of the jury being
that deceased came to bis death from intempcr-
anee aud exposure.

AN OLD GAME.-About o'clock on Wednesday
evening of last week man went to the house Of
Mr.. George Keel, living back Of Waverley, be-
tween the York and Hartford roads, and stated to
Mrs. Keel that her husband, who is engaged in
business in the city had requested him to call and
get his overcoat and umbrella. Mrs. Keel having
suspicion that all not right audit being about
the hour when Mr.. K. usually returned home, re-
fused the demand. The stranger insisted and
while upbraiding her for unkindness toward her
husband the latter appeared when the strangerron
off and has not been seen since.
