Mr.. Editor IL am pleased to see that our
citizens are in favor Of taxing that noted
nuisance, "the hordes Of worthless ours"
which iniest the land, for they seem to be
allowed to live for no other purpose but
70 prevent the farmers from keeping sheep.
There is no doubt with them out Of the way
there could be revenue derived from pas
turing sheep on the many acres of uncut
tiyated land and wild grass which now lie
idle. Why is il that we cannot have a

to-be-lucrative businessY | hope our dele
gates will prove 10 be good practical re-
formers and ~ legslate that our thousands
of hills may become dotted with the herds
Of this great industry with necessary laws
to protect It from the depredations of all its
enemies.
II is said that spirituous liquor has placed
two more unfortunate beings in degradation
and misery, and caused them to be incarce-
rated in the Jail in your village 10 be tried
for that awful crime, the taking of fellow
beings life. Where is the philosophy 10
justify the State in encouraging and licens-
ing its agents 10 sell liquor to those weak in
mind, and while under its influence they
commit the awful crimes, then the poor
wretches are punished even unto death,
while the drinking houses are kept IN full

Protracted Meeting.
NEAR OFFUTT's X ROADS,
MoNTRosE, MD.

December 18th, 1879.
Mr. EdttOr The series of meetings which
have been in progress for several weeks at
Patomac Chapel, near Otfutt's X Roads, un-
der the charge of the Rev. Messsrs. Tyler
and Green, have been brought to a close.
In point of interest and numbers they have
been almost without a parallel in this sec
ton Of the county. Many additions have
been made 10 the church membership, and
particularly from the younger portion of the
congregation
The large experience, zeal and ability of
the Rev. Mr.. Tyler, eminently qualify him
for the discharge OF ministerial duties Incl
dent upon such occasions.
Rev Mr.. Green, though Just budding into
manhood, is destined at an early day To be-
come one OF the most useful and eloqlient
pulpit orators in his church. His imagina-
ton is beautiful and vivid his language is
elegant, chaste and classic, and his words
fall upon the ear like the nrurmurng's Of a
brook his argument is close, sound and de-
monstratlve; his manner is graceful and
easy, and his lessons, AS deduced from his
sermons, are practical, impressive and finely
wraught.
His sermon on Moses decision" was one
Of the finest productions which it has been
the pleasure Of the writer of this commun-
cation t6have heard for many years. In
illustrating portion Of his sermon, his de-
scription of sunset as Witnessed upon the
Blue Ridge" just after storm, when the
clouds were floating at its base and resting
in the crevices along the mountain sides,
was mastery piece of word painting, more
natural than those which the artist attempts
To fasten with his brush 10 the can vas

Chesapeake and Ohio CanaI-M

Chesapeake and Ohio CanaI-Mr.
Arthur p. German, President, and Benjamin
Fawcett, the Secretary Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company, and other mem
bers of the Board Of Directors of that cor
poration were at Barnums Hotel, in Balti-
affecting the cana. The fiscal year of the
company expires on the 3lst Of the present
month, but the annual meeting OF the stock
holders, when the annual report is submitted,
does not take place until June. 1t is stated
that navigation on the canal will virtually
be closed towards the end of this week.
The revenue for the past year will fall short
of the preceding years, the transportation
of coal not having come up to that of some
preceding years, and the officers attribute it
to the strike Of the miners, which for time
put stop to the transportation of coal over
the canal. The loss to the company on this
account is quite large, the rates having been
the same as the previous year. The damages
to the canal by the freshets of two years ago
causing the destruction of the dam, etc, have
been repaired at a cost of about $250,000
the dam alone costing about $4,000. The
company issued bonds to the amount of only
$4,000 for these improvements, believing it
better to contract temporary loans for the
balance than to sell bonds for the amount
II is stated that this has been drawback to
the prosperity of the canal, as the payment
of interest for the sum borrowed amounts 10
quite large sum.

Montgomery's Mexican War vete,

rans.-Out of the six men from this county
who served in Mexico, five of them are
still living. As the result Of that contest,
bright stars have already been added to our
flag, and a rich and vast domain to our
country. Mines of gold and silver, at which
the famous mines Of Ophir sink into insig-
niicance; ceders, besides which the "Ceders
of Lebanon" become dwarfs and in fruits Of
the earth never before equaled. And now,
that the few survivors have grown old, and
many of them poor and friendless, it is to be
hoped that the present Congress will do
something for the old veterans of a war that
has SO enriched our country.
The following is list Of the survivors
from Montgomery county: f. o. Gather,
La Fayette Griffith, O. T. Watkins, Richard
Berry, Alex. Russell, formerly Of this place.

The Bridge.-We understand there is
an effort being made by those interested in
the matter, To obtain an appropriation from
thsrounty for the purpose Of constructing
bridge over Watts Branch" where II
crosses the Darnstown road. This is move
in the right direction, and one which will
receive the endorsement Of the community.
This road is travelled great deal. and af-
fords one of the prettiest drives for our citi-
zens during the summer months. As the
farmers living along the road are willing to
contribute timber and the use of their teams,
bridge could be built for trifiing cost to
the county, while it would remove positive
danger to the travelling public in high fresh.
cts, it would obviate an insuferable nuis
ance. We feel confident it will meet the
cordial appreciation Of our worthy commits
sioners.

The Long-TaIked OF Town Hall.


1t is gratifying to learn that there is an en-
ergetic movement on foot 10 raise funds to
erect Town Hall at the earliest possible
date The citizens should generously re-
spond to this worthy undertaking. 1t will
supply need long felt. 1t would greatly
benefit all classes of our citizens the mer-
chants particularly, should take an active
part in promoting il, as it would attract the
country people, many Of whom would at
tend lectures, literary and theatrical enter
tainments, which would be Of frequent &C.
currence, and in this way, swell the ordi-
nary profits of trade. In pecuniary, bust
ness point of view, apart from any feeling of
pride in being out-stripped by a neighboring
village, our people should contribute in
every way 10 encourage the enterprise
There are many who could give ten dollars
towards it, and be amply repaid, in having
some place Of public amusement where
they could spend many pleasant evening.
In connection with it, we would, also, sug-
gest reading-room, where the town IL
brary could be placed, which would consti-
tute nucleus about which would gather in
the course of time, by donations and pro-
ceeds arising from the use Of the room, a
most valuable collection Of miscellaneous
literature, which would not only be source
of intellectual improvement and instruction,
but one Of most rational enjoyment. If
earnestly and properly sustained and fos-
tered il would confer the highest benefits
upon ourselves, and at the same time refine
and elevate the tastes and morals Of our
youth; many a profitable and agreeable
hour could be passed in social converse and
pleasant discussion in this way. Here the

cuss subjects Of national and local interest.
