Drowned Mr.. J. II. Goodwin, General
Travelling Agent for Fcutz's medicines was
drowned while attempting to cross Watanga
river, in Tennessee, on the l3th inst. Mr. G
was in our Office on March the 10th aud made
a contract for advertising. He was native
of Westminster, Carroll county, and young
man of Gne address, aud possessed Of fine BUSH
ness tact. The following are the incidents Of
the sad accident:
The stream was greatly swollen, and when
the horse reached the middle, the water proved
beyond the horses depth, and the animal com
meneed to swim. Mr. G. seeing his danger,
cut the animal loose from the buggy and made
an effort to get upon his back The horse,
however, soon displaced the unfortunate man,
and made for the shore. The Young man no "
chung TO the buggy and cried with loud voice
most amentably for help, but there was no
boat accessible. In few minutes the buggy
drifed down the stream which was running
at the rate of 2 miles an hour, struck a rock
and capsized. Mr.. G. was caught beneath the
vehicle, aud amid the screams Of the women
and children who had witnessed his struggles
and pteous appeals for help he sank TO rise no
more. Some baggage was recovered, and in it
were found four letters-one TO d. Z. Foutz
aud one to his mother, the others to young
ladies Of Maryland aud Virginia. The horse
has been secured, but most Of his luggage was
washed away.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
Addition to the Aims Houses

Addition to the Aims E0use.-Some
four or more weeks ago Gov Carroll appointed
q commission, composed Of doctors, to visit
the Aims Houses in the State and investigate
the sanitary regulations theieat and report to
him the lack of any necessary comforts that
might injure the health and happiness of the
unfortunate inmates. The commission visited
this county and found white and black, on ac-
count of the unspaciousness of the present
building, all crowded together. Thereon 1t
reported TO the County Commissioners the
propriety of building additional apartments
for the occupancy of the blacks.
The Commissioners with the Trustees Of the
Poor met at that institution on Tuesday to in
vestigate into the feasibility of the suggestion
already made. About noon, after finishing
the duties in their room, they repaired to the
Aims House where they found that the genial
overseer, Mr.. Jno. Cornell, had in readiness
splendidly catered dinner, comprising all the
nicetes of the season. After dinner the two
bodies began business by first traversing the
whole house which they found well kept, but
needing many repairs. They then came to
the outside to select the best location for the
new building. No conclusion was reached,
but the Commissioners submitted the right to
the Trustees, who are men of wisdom and
economy, Of obtaining the plan and cost OF
the building and report the same to them,
which, if approved, the money will at once be
levied for immediate completion.
1t is TO be hoped that the building of brick
house. which will last doubly as long as a
frame one, and is less liable TO take fire, will
be recommended by the Trustees The report
will be made early in May.
