VIM A. Lynn started on canvassing
tour through this county, Monday last, tor
his celebrated crooks, which have no equal
in the u. s.
Commissioner Lydie has greatly i'm.
proved the looks of our street lamps by u
coat of green Mayo: Slick has also greatly
improved the dcmcanor Of the boys by his
vigilance. Keep it up, gentlemen.
Mr.. John A. Kuhn, formerly of this
place but now resident of Washington,
called to see MS Monday. We arc sorry to
say that his health is very much impaired,
but in other respects he is the same good
fellow as in by gone days.

The grandest thing of the age that we
have ever used in our iiln lily is DR. Schley's

relief for all coughs, colds and kindred af-
fectlons. Only rs cents fer Il large bottle,
it never fails.

OPENED The beautiful summer resort
for alrstocratic city people, of Mrs DR..
Mcpherson, few miles south Of this place
is now open and already several families
have arrived. This is, without a doubt,
the most delightful spot in the county for
n summer resort, and there has been
nothing left undonc to make it attractive
for pleasure seekers. The lovely lawn in
front Of the house is well adapted for Gro.
quct and other amuscmcnts, whilst the ar
titicial lake close by renders excellent boat
ing. 1t is certainly charming place.
Tomorrow, Frdly, the murderer, Ed.
ward Costly, cXpiatcs his crime on the
galows in the Jail yard at Frederick. The
execution will be conducted as private as
possible, but as there is abundant opportu-
mites on the surrounding Hills for morbid
sight sccrs to witness tho execution, they
will no doubt be taken advantage of by
many. Costly as yet has made no open
confession as to what prompted him to
commit the deed for which he is to suffer
death, but it is conceded that he will. lie
says he has no fears of death, but at the
same time has made no positive profession
o! religion. One day last week he ma lc a
desperate attempt to get poSion, but his
plans were frustrated and tomorrow the
law VIII be allowed to take its course.
