Baltimore, submitted for the degree of A r
tium Magistra, was i composition of rare
strength and beauty, and was listened to

the year. The Salutatory of Miss A. Harlan,
of Elkton, and the valedctory by Miss Het-
zeil, OF Cumberland and an essay on the

LOSS OF A VALUABLE HORSE.
On the night Of the Sth instant, DIR. p. B.

understand it died from Il severe attack of

ATTACKED BY a Dog.
On Monday last, a large dog claimed by
Miss NJ. r. Tyson attacked a little daughter
of Mr.. Haines Reynolds, on the street,
caught her by the wrist, int1icting a severe
wound, and only for the timely assistance
of couple of gentleman no doubt would
have terminated with serious results.
QUARTERLY MEETING.
The first quarterly meeting under the sr-
pervison of the new Presiding Elder was
held in the NJ. f. Church, Saturday even
ing, 31st ult We learn that the intercourse
between the new Elder and the officials was
both harmonious and interesting.
IMPROVEMENTS
The old tenement near the public school
house has been put through thorough
renovation by its late owner, Jesse West.
With the additional story and kitchen at
tached, it adds much to the improvement
on Elkton street, and is now nearing its
completion.
Our Main street will compare favurably
with any street of its length in the county.
Much credit is due to the indomitahle en-
ergy and skill OF j. L. Mcdaniel. Esq, for
the valuable Improvement in town. 1t is to
be hoped as they are DRAWN. to Il close on
Main street, they will now extend their i'm
provements up Elkton street, which, in bad
weather is almost impossible.

MR.. WHYTE DEFEATED.

The result of the primary election, in
Baltimore on Tuesday, and the nomina-
ton on Wednesday indicate the defeat
of VIM. Pinkney Whyte for the Senate.
Summing up results, the .Norniug Herald
says:
"The situation, as far as Mr.. Whyte' S
chances for United States Senator are con-
cerned. is far from being encouraging.
The eleventh, Mr.. Whyte's own ward,
selected candidate for the Legislature
who is opposed to him. The Senator from
his, the Second district, is also the choice
of those opposed to Mr. Whyte, and the
district heretofore controlled by his speci-
al friend, Mr.. Mckeween, has gone
against him by a decided vote. Instead
of going out of Baltimore with the dele
cation unbroken, as he has heretofore
done. Mr.. Whyte carries certainly only
eight out of the twenty-one. 1t is not
believed that the remaining forty eight
votes. in both Houses Of the Legislature,
necessary to choice. can be found to re-
elect him. and many of his friends think
he will now abandon the contest. notwith-
standing the efforts made to induce him
to continue in the field. His friends yes
terday afternoon wore very long faces and
appeared to be greatly discouraged. The
effect of Yesterdays work upon the court
house clique slate was damaging. 1t GER,
tainly looks as if the lightning had struck
it.
The Washington correspondent Of the
same papers says
''The result of Senator Whyte's fight
for political supremacy in Baltimore has
been eagerly looked for by his friends and
political opponents in this city. He has

AN UNKNOWN MAN KILLED

AN UNKNOWN MAN KILLED.
Our usually quiet town has undergone an
unusual degree of excitement in the last
few days. Early on Wednesday morning,
it WAS rumored that a man had been killed.
The rumOr proved true. A person sup
posed to be of the tramp persuasion was
discovered by the eng gineer of one of the
night trains, lying in front of his engine,
near the water plug at this place. Upon
examination, he was found to he literally
ground up, his legs and arms being torn
from his body. Portions of the body were
carried nearly a hundred yards along the
track from where he was struck. Justice
AbrahamS, in the absence of the coroner,
held AN inquest, and a verdict of accidental
death was rendered He was about IL or 20
years of age, sandy hair, light complexion,
smooth face, and tolerably well dressed and
was probably travelling eastward MS his hat
was purchased of a Washington firm. The
only marks about his person by which tn
identify him was the partly oblittrated
name of j. l.. or l. :. Fenton There was
no money or other valuables on his person.
He was buried on the Company's ground 1T
this place. And thus ended the career of
some mothers boy, though only a poor
tramp.
COLT DOWN \ WELL.

circumstances. He had put both his horses

Having to use one of the horses in the
evening, and upon going for it the discovery
was made that the young one was in the
WELL and had probably been there for three
or foar hours. Life was extinct, though the
well was but six or eight feet deep and tn.
animals nose was out of water. She had
fell in head first and got her head twisted
around so that her nose was at the top of

THE death, almost in open court. of
Parr, the Philadelphia murtle:e', who.
while there for sentence. took poison, is
discreditable to the authorities. The
Strychnine, ifit was strychnnc. must have
been conveyed to the prisoner by some
body. and little care would have pre-
vented him from receiving it. An i'll
vcstigation is now going on with great
energy, and all PARIS near relatives are
i'll custody. Probably the secret will be
kept. Those who were sharp enough to
snuggle poison into the prison will be
also sharp enough to escape detection.
Nor is it easy to see what can be done
with the offender, even if found out-at
any rate, how any penalty at all exem-
plary can be legally inflicted. What
degree Of murder is it to furnish man
with poison which he may take or
not, Us he plcases? If it be merely an
intraction of the rules Of the pr III, the
punishment cannot he severe. The or, or
