James A. Barley, the U. S. sol
der shot by Mat p. Ligon, having
died on the 23d inst, the accused
IN. z. Ligon and VIVA. Ligon,)
had their preliminary exaaaination
before Hon. D. J. Reid, Parish
Judge, on charge of murder, as
principal and accessory.
The evidence was generally re-
garded as emitting the accused to
be admitted to bail, but the Judge
considered the statute relative to
the powers and duties Of commit
ting magistrates as restricting to
District Judges the power to ad-
NIT to bail in every case where the
offence charged may be punishable
with imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary, unless the committing mag
lstrate were satisfied that no crime
Or breach Of the peace had been
committed and considering that
the evidence did not entitle the ac-
eused to an absolute discharge, he
committed them to jail to answer
the charge made against them.
Ills ruling on the question OF what
Judge has authority to admit to.
bail in such cases is undoubtedly
Correct. For example, on q charge
Of robbery, the Parish Judge must
either discharge the accused, Or
Commit to Jail; the District Judge
slsne having the power to admit
TO bail.

lawn in front of the residence of Jos. B. Mitchell
Esq, on Saturday afternoon, which proved very
successful affair." There were no gaily caparison-
ed and prancng steeds, the little fellows charging
at the rings on foot, and the affair holly con-
tested. The successful knights were Masters John
Smith and Frank Burke, who were awarded prizes
"a pen-knife and cow-hide, respectively. why
a eow-hide was selected as one of the prizes we
have not learned.) The brave knights then select
ed their ladies and the browning ceremony was
appropriately gone through with. At the cOnclu-
sion of the first tilt contest for the champion
ship took place, Master Willie Wardin carrying
off the prize, very pretty pen-knife. One cent
admission was charged, the knights paying cts.
each for the privilege of running. 1t is almost
needless to say the little folks-and there was a
small army of them present-enjoyed the affair
immensely.
We had the pleasure last week Of visiting
Frederick city and the agricultural fair then in
progress there. 1t is hardly necessary for us to
say that we were charmed with the city, its hos
pitable people and the exhibition. There is prob
ably no section of Maryland where more whole
souled, generous people can be found than in
| Frederick county, and this, in great measure,
accounts for the very successful fairs held by her
agricultural society, which are acknowledged to
| be by far the best in the State The city itself
has an ancient but inviting appearance, while the
| country surrounding it is unsurpassed for its
beauty and fertility. For the many attentions
shown us we are indebted to our friends Baugh-
man, of the Citizen, BOuldin, of the Times, and to
Mr.. VIM. McGill, a member of the firm of j. 5.
McGill & Bro, prOprietors of the largest hard
ware house in Western Maryland. We also had
the pleasure of meeting James H. Gambrill, Esq,
president of the agricultural society, Gen. Schri-
yer, Lewis C. Clingen, ESQ.,, ex-U. S. Marshal E.
Y. Goldsborough, and many other prominent gen.
tlemen.

A Coal OIL LAMP ExPLoDEs-NARRow ESCAPE.
The danger of blowing down lamp chimney
to extinguish the fame forcibly illustrated
here on Tuesday night. William L. Gallagher,
employed in Urban's restaurant, when about clos
ing up for the night, blew down the chimney of a
large glass lamp to put it out, when the lamp ex-
plOded, throwing the burning oil and pieces Of
broken glass in every direction. Fortunately
there was not much oil in the lamp and he sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames by throwing
on quantity Of water, which happenedtO be near
at hand. Mr.. Gallagher made a narrow escape,
the only injuries he received being slight scratch
es on the face from pieces of flying glass.
This should serve as a lesson to persons who
practice this very dangerous habit. Most Of the
Illuminating fluid sold these days is dangerous
and the more care observed in handling it the bet
ter it will be. If you must blow down a lamp
chimney to extinguish the fame, always turn thu
wick low before doing SO. Even then there il
danger. The better plan, after lowering the wick
is to blow under the shade. In this way the FAM
aseends and there is no danger of it igniting thu
gas in the bowl of the lamp.

the Crops--Revival Meeting--An abandoned
Church, &c.-Upwards of month has passed
since the ground received favorable rain
Drouth is upon long and continued with no in
| dications of much desired change. Wheat that
has been sown is not prospecting; its growth is
| slow and unpromising and its general appearance
unhealthy. The warm sun and drying winds are
more favorable for the corn, which may be seen
closely ranked in tall shocks and dotted over the
fields. This staple is rich in uxurience and suf-
GENTLY cured to justify its being husked and Sc
cured. Fodder forbids handling, having become
dry and crisp and crumbles on the slightest pres
sure.
The trees of the forest are fast assuming a sick
ly hue autumnal winds already strewing the
plain with their late beautiful foliage and soon
vegetable nature will have fallen to sleep to awake
more until the frosts of winter entirely disap-
pear, when all again will be resuscitated by the
warming sunshine and the genial shower.
A revival meeting was commenced here on the
Sth ulto., which has just been discontinued. As
this is professedly union church, composed of
members of the NJ. Z. and NJ. P. denominations,
the ministerial aids of both branches were brought
to bear effectively upon it, which, together with
the laica assistance, resulted in the addition and
reception of some twenty converts who attached
themselves to the respective classes of their choice.
Meanwhile the congregations were large, the de-
pertinent excellent, and the attention all that
could be claimed. Divine service feels no trouble,
such as is reported in other localities, owing per-
haps to the gigantic strides that temperance has
made upon the minds and morals of this active
and busy community.
About half mile away may be seen another
church well known by the name of Poplar M. P.

YOUNG WIFE AND MOTHER HANGS HERSELF.
About half-past six o'clock on Sunday morning
last Mrs. Erni, aged 80 years, wife of Ernst Erni
committed suicide by hanging herself in the eel
lar of house on the Frederick road, near the
city limits. The family had been living on the
CalvertOn road and on Friday they rented the
house on the Frederick road, into which they were
to have moved and open q small store on Monday.
A few goods had been moved into the store and
Mrs. Erni slept there Saturday night. few
minutes before o'clock Sunday morning she went
to her home on the CalvertOn road, kissed her
three children, babe her husband goodbye, and
returned to the new. home. About half-past six
o'clock woman in the neghborhood entered, and
on looking into the cellar saw her struggling in
the agonies of death. An alarm was given, and
officer Cook, who was near by, cut the rope by
which she was suspended and summoned physi-
clan, but before his arrival she was corpse
When found she was hanging by stout rope at
tached to the jost of the floor above, with a nose
about her neck, her feet dragging on the ground.
Her husband was formerly collector for August
Beck, brewer, but for some time past has been in
l-heath, the result of an injury sustained several
years since.

FIRE IN THE 18th DIsTRIcT.-Some time before
daylight on Tuesday morning last the barn and
corn house of Mr.. Samuel Bachtel, on the Phila-
delphia road, IA miles from Baltimore, were en-
tirely destroyed by fire. together with lot of corn
and oats, thirty tons of hay and two cows. The
loss will reach 81, OOO and there is no insurance.
The house being in close proximity to the barn
was saved with much difficulty. The buildings
are supposed to have been set on fire.
BARN AND STABLE BURNED.-The barn and sta
Bile of Mr.. Kahler, at Rosedale postOffice, 18th
district, took fire on Monday afternoon last and
was burned to the ground. The horses and cattle
were saved, but the wheat in the barn was more
or less damaged. We have been unable to learn
whether there was any insurance or not. The
barn was nearly new, having been built but two
years ago.
