The GRAND JURY adjourned over from Mon
day until Saturday, in order to give Mr. Hopkins,
the States Attorney, time TO prepare certain in
dictments. Up TO this time the Grand Jury have
made 80 presentments, among them for assault,
for arson, 2 for larceny, for selling liquor on
Sunday for selling liquor without license, / for
stabbing horse, for keeping a disorderly
house, for allowing gaming table, &c.
They have also presented the American Tele-
graph Company for obstructing the public roads
with its telegraph poles.
Under law passed by the Legislature in 1872,
chapter 329, the Grand Jury have presented
Edward F. Johns, Thomas II. Snowden, James
NJ. Anderson, Ambrose Cooley James S. Calder,
William Carsins and NJ. N. Whitcford, tax col
lectors, for default in the payment of State and
county taxes alleged to have been collected by
them. The law provides that the certificate of
the Comptroller or Clerk TO the County Com
missioners shall be primd ,tdcie evidence of such
defalcaion, and it is understood that it was chief
ly upon the published statement of Comptroller
Heating, just before the election, that the pre-
sentiments were made.
The Collectors allege that there is yet due from
taxpayers more than the amounts they are re-
quired to pay the county and State and that their
failure to pay has been caused by their leniency
to the taxpayers during the hard times. 1t has
been the custom for the Court to extend the time
OF payment of the taxes by the Collectors, upon
application, where it has appeared that they have
used due diligence and have more on their books
than they were required to pay. The cases have
been postponed until the February term of court,
by which time, probably the bulk of the taxes
in arrears will be collected and paid over. If
this is done the cases will doubtless be dropped.

The Star Shower of Nov. 1914.

Mr. EDITOR beg leave to correct state
ment made in your last ISSUE in regard to what
you were pleased to term the non appearance of
the star shower, on the thirteenth and fourteenth
of November. On the first of the nights in ques-
ton, in company with two others witnessed it
from our home, situated about two miles from
Havre dc Grace. A little before one O'Clock the
sky, which had previously been studded with
stars, became almost black. 1t remained in this
condition until about five minutes past one
o'clock. AT that hour faint light began to shine
in the east, and in few minutes the stars COM
menced shooting from that direction This, al
though they seemed to shoot from all parts of the
heavens, continued to he the principal radiating
point throughout the shower. For several hours,
the bright little bodies made flying attempts to
visit old Mother Earth. Many succeeded in doing
so, but the majority of them exploded before
reaching terra firma cannot give you correct
estimate of the number that fell in minute, but
they seemed to fall by the thousand. The very
air was illuminated with them. casting over the
earth a peculiar white light. The shower lasted
from one to about half-past four o'clock. Strange
as it may appear, during the whole of this time we
heard slight explosions through the atmosphere,
making sound as of gentle hail storm. Wesaw
but few large meteors and those not as bright as
we had expected. Judging, however, from the APP
pearance of the sky the shower must have been
remarkably brilliant in some other parts of the
globe. Still, it was very beautiful here and we
were fully compensated for our midnight vigil.

ITALIAN QUAIL.-Messrs Trimble d. Klei
hacker, dealers in guns, &c, of Baltimore, are
making arrangements to import 1000 Messina
quail, for distribution in Maryland. These birds
are little smaller but similar in appearance to
our ordinary quail or partridge. They are in,
sectiverous, hardy, and when turned out increase
rapidly. Their flight is swift and strong, and
they are in all respects a game bird, requiring q
good shot TO bring them down. Beaides the ad-
dtion they would be to our game birds, they
would be useful ally to the farmer, through
their insectiverous habits. A few of these birds
were turned loose in this county, last spring, by
Messrs. Henry ID. Farnands and John Moores.
For deposit of $50 Messrs Trimble u Kleiback-
or will guarantee 200 birds. The cost may not
be so much as estimated, and whatever surplus
may remain will be returned to the original
subscribers, pro rata. The firm named is a
thoroughly reliable one in every respect. Sub
scriptions for these Italian quail may be left at
