saws number of letters were posted
about that town Monday night,in which
the spelling was execrable, claiming to
be written by ''ci,izens of Boonsboro','
notifying property owners that they
must put down rents on each individual
SIS before the first of August, otherwise
the town would be laid in ashes. The
Odd Fellow does not believe that any
number of men in that town indorse
the sentiments of the letters.

psy- RAILROAD ENrERPRIsE.-The

N.Y. RAILROAD ENTERPRIsE.-1he
Harrisburg and Potomac Railroad will
be completed to Smithburg, Washing
ton County, Md, on the Weston Mary
land Railroad, in very short time.
The contractors, Dacey 81 Co., OF Bos-
top are now at work, making the con-
Meeting link between Waynesboro', Pa
to Snlithburg, distance OF about
miles. This Harrisburg and Potomac
road will, no doubt, be extended TO thls
town, as it was originally intended,trom
Smithburg through Boonsboro, keedys-
Vile and Sharpsburg, connecting With
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad here.
The link can be made in 20 miles, by
running through the above named
towns, and through a wealthy and
fertile section of Washington County,
Md. Efforts should be made at once,
by the citizens of the respective towns
and localities, above named, to iuau-
gurate the enterprise. We feel assured
that the Shenandoah Valley road will
assist iu building the extension to our
town; and we learn also that the Yves
tern Maryland road, whose interests are
identified with Baltimore, will lend
a helping hand. We would suggest
then that the prominent citizens Of these
localities open books and see how much
stock can be realized, and we teel
assured success will crown their efforts.

HISTORY OF THE ESCAPE.

Douglas informed Sheriff Sweet that
after his escape from Jail he fingered
around Maysvile about fifteen days,
in the meantime freeing himself from
his shackels by placin G his feet Oh a
large stone and breaking the irons by
hammering them with small
stone. After the irons had been
broken be went to keyser, where he
remained on mountain near by for
three days and nights, waiting an
opportunity to get On train when
there would not be a crowd around
the depot. During his stay in Grant
county, after his escape, he states that
he did without food for seven
days. After leaving Keyser he came
to Wheeling where he wandered
around one day and then left on the
B. & o. railroad for Chicago, thence
down the G. B. & Q. road to Hannibal,
Mo-, and thence to Texas per the NJ.
X. & 4. road arriving in. Lampasas
county about June LIST. During his
stay there he kept himself very seclud-
ed, showing himself to none but his
most intimate friends.
The Sheriff further informed US that
he first made the acquaintance of
Douglas about FIVE years ago when he
was local editor of the Lampasas
Dispatch. For two years he held his
position on the paper, and by his uni
form kindness and gentility gained the
friendship of all the people Of tie
county; married a Miss Horrell, who
died within year afterwards. He
then began to drink and associate with
bad company, after which he committed
some offeEses against the laws OF the
State and then returned to this State
and committed the murder of young
Hiser, the mail carrier.
For his services in capturing ard
returning Douglas, Sheriff Sweet gets
the State reward offered amounting 10
s4OO, and the county reward of $50,
besides his expenses which amounted
TO SlO6. Besides this he is entitled to
the thanks of the State. for his pluck
and endurance shown in the capture
and return of the desperate criminal,
who, but for his efforts, would have es-
capped altogether.

Bees fin San Diego,

Says the San Diego Nelos of Sep tember 18th: At the commencement of the season, on good representations, we estimated that the drouth of last year had destroyed 5000 stands of our bees, out of a total of 24,000, or one third of the whole. Statistics showed that notwithstanding San Diego coun- ty was the most southerly county in the State, it suffered far less loss than its neighbors in this interest, Los An geles county reporting loss of large ly over one-half. This would seem. to indicate where the best feed and climate is to be found for bees, and, although we are not yet at the end of. the trade for this year in honey, all though the season for honey making is over, we believe it will be found that the county has sent more honey to market than any of the belt. Well informed bee-keepers think thatithe. increase of stock the present yearh has been fully equal to the loss of last year; and excepting the honey made, the interest is about where it was when the drought, so fatal that it did not only kill off the third of the bees, but cut off the crop of honey, set in last year. If they are correct in the estimate, and we believe they are un- der, rather than over the mark, our county ought to have now about 24,= 900 stands. So far as we hear, there is no fear for feed the approaching winter, so that if we can begin the next season with this increase, and if the year is propitious, our German and English purchasers will be able to draw largely on this county for their supplies.
