HE GARDENvILLE PosT0FFICE AGAIN.-Messrs.
I itors The Just complaint made by your cor
pendent in the issue of March list, in regard to
manner in which our worthy postmaster, Mr..
o. M. Herman, is treated by some ofthe patrons
his office, meets my full appreciation. Strange
say an odd sort of reply appeared in last Sat
DAYS issue. signed "'0ne who Knows" Permit
e. as one who has been daily in attendance ut
le office, to ask the last named correspondent a
uestion or two. Does he expect the postmaster
0 go to the expense of building a new office to
atisfy the whms of a few persons? He knows
ull well that his compensation would not justify
such an outlay. Moreover, according to law, the
office must be kept at the pOstmaster's place of
business, and in this case the law has been COM
piled with. The lady referred to by "0ne who
knows" must indeed be n dgnifed person if she
cannot enter a Workshop Let me ask your cor
if there is mechanic employed in that
shop who would offer the least indignity to lady
Are they not all polite and respectful to visitors
Let me advise "0ne who Knows" when he comes
to the office, to drive his team to the Office window,
and thus avoid the danger of runaway or acct
dent an. A. R." was right. Our postmaster is
improperly treated by great many of the patrons
of his Office Let me direct the attention of "One
who Knows as well as all others who are dis
posed to complain, to the Scriptural passage "DO
unto others as you would they should do unto you.
Rob him not of his just earnings. If you do not
know you ought to know that the postmaster
salary is regulated by the number of stamps can
celled by him. FIAT JUsTITIA.

From BEcKLEYsvILLE, 9TH DIsTRIcT.-Concert
--Improring- 6c.-The concert and
literary entertainment at Forest School House, on
Friday evening, 9TH inst, proved very pleasant
affair. The programme embraced vocal and in
strumental music, readings, dialogues, Rotations,
&c. Beckleysville cornet band No. was present
and enlivened the occasion with some excellent
music This band has been organized but four
months and it is astonishing what progress it has
made. The attendance very large, the house
being packed to its utmost capacity. Towards
the close of the exercises the pupils of the school
were literally supplied with confectionery, DC. by
their generous teacher, Miss Mamie Price. The
members of the band were also handsomely enter
tanned.
Mr.. William Cooper, who was so badly beaten
a few weeks ago while returning from church, has
recovered and is again able to be about.
On the 9th inst, at the residence of the brides
father, near Forest, Mr.. John Perogoy was mar
red to Miss Hester Price, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. John Wilhelm. ORRlcK.

Judge Yellott, in his charge to the Grand
jury on Monday morning, used some very plain
and pointed language After telling the Jury
what its duties were he informed the members
that when those things were properly attended to
their mission had been performed and that they
had no business to go outside and NEEDLE with
the affairs of the county, in which their opinions
would go for no more than would the opinions Of
any other twenty three respectable citizens.
Mr. VIM. f. Madary, of the 10th district,
while on the way TO Baltimore with his team on
Tuesday morning, staulcd on the Jarrettsville
turnpike, near Kings tavern, and it required the
combined strength of fourteen horses to pull the
wagon out of the mud. The idea'of IL company
calling such road turnpike and charging toll
TO travel IL, seems us little less than a gross
imposition upon the public, who ought to have
some rights which turnpike companies should be
made to respect.
The annual Conference of the NJ. f. Church
South, which met at Salem, Va, adjourned on
Tuesday last. Among other appointments are
those for the following Circuits Frederick ave
nue., ]. +. Bags; Baltimore Circuit, VIM. A.
Mcdonald Arlington, ]. Landstreet TaylOr's
Circuit, NJ. p. Scanon West Hartford, G. L. Al

Wesley Steele, who has served West Hartford Cir
cult for the past three years, is transferred to
Severn. Anne Arundel county
"A man drove to TOwsontown on Tuesday
morning to attend Court, and instead of putting
his horse up at livery stable, in order to save
20 cents, tied him to post in front Of the Court
House. The horse got frightened, broke away
and started to rum breaking off one of the spin
dies of the wagon, smashing both shafts into sew
eral pieces, and tearing the harness badly. The
damage done would certainly reach $40. which
might have been saved by investing 20 cents.
That's poor kind of economy.
Many persons who attended Court here on
Monday morning were somewhat surprised to see
the bench graced by the rotund figure Of-to
them-a stranger. Some thought the gentleman
was Judge Waters while others thought he might
be an eminent jurist from distance. On inquiry
they learned with surprise that the gentleman
who occupied so prominent position beside his
honor, Judge Yellott, was less parsonage
than a Towsontown newspaper man. And then
they all wiped their spectacles and took another
look.
Efforts are now being made TO have post
Offices established at Putty Hill and kingsville,
on the Belair road Putty Hill is about s miles
from Baltimore, in :hickly settled neighborhood,
and there is no pOstoffce nearer than about four
miles. Kingsville is II miles from Baltimore,
and the nearest postOfhce is upwards of two miles
distant. A stage line, running from the city to
Jerusalem Mills. Hartford county, passes both
places three times week, so that the route could
be established with very little trouble to the P.
o. Department.

them.

WAS 1T MURDER ?-Interest has again been ref

found on the shore of Spring Gardens, in the 18Th
district of this county in November last, an!
which at that time was supposed to be that of !
suicide. A baggage check on his body secured h :
trunk, in which was found q number of phOt'1
graphs. Constable Emmerich, of Baltimore couij
ty, notified the authorities of Nurnberg, Germanr
when shortly a letter was received from JOlH
Popp, saying that from the description it must 4,
his son, and asking TO have forwarded to him q.
photograph. In the same letter the name of :
firm in San Francisco in whose employ their 4
had been was mentioned. Mr.. Emmerich fOrwaI-
ed photographs to Germany also to the $ L
Francisco firm. In both instances replies h. e
been received recognizing the party as the sorI)f
Mr.. Popp. 1t is now known that he had in is
possession s., 600 when he left San Franciso ior
Baltimore, where he came to take passage or

posed that it was a case of murder and not of
suicide. The police authorities of the city ,ld
county have, it is supposed, slight clue and ill
do all in their power to develop the mystery.
