A Jolly set OF prisoners.

On Sunday and Sunday night, the 18th
instant, Rev. Joshua Shaiier held Sabbath
school and services at Eburg's School House
m Hampstead district. On the occasions
Mr.. Smaller claims that his Sabbath school
and congregation we're disturbed. lie claims.
also, that he had previously been ANNOYED.
and determined this time to try the virtue Of
law to put stop to il. Accordingly he an.
peared before Justice Crapster aud made oath
charging q number of young mcu with various
Offences, all tending to disturb the devotions
OF himself and congregation. The Justice is
sued warrants for the arrest of twelve. They
were served on Monday last, and on Tuesday
six Of the accused appeared to answer the
charges. They were the jollicst and best
looking set Of prisoners ever brought to this
city, aud their countonances would seem to
contradict their guilt In fact, they denied
having disturbed the worship at the school
house, but rather than have further trouble
they concluded to pay up and get discharged
Justice Crapster charged each 50 fine and
Sl.25 costs, and the following paid uphill.
lard r. Shaler, John Reinaman, Lewis W.
HoliLner, George Face, Charles Snyder, and
Richard Murray, Vim. Lambert was opposed
TO paying for offences he was innocent OF, and
concluded 10 stand trial next Tuesday. How.
ard and Wm. Coltrider, two more charged By
Mr. Shaffer as among the offenders, gave Sc.
cnrity for their appearance next Tuesday, and
three more are to be arrested. One Of the
young men admitted that he was little Wild
but claimed to be entirely innocent Of the
charge Of Mr. Shaiier, and another admitted
that he had opened the school house door
during service. From what we heard Of the
affair, I, is just possible that the young mea
had, by lhoughtlessly laughing, talking, &c,
disturbed Mr.. ShafTer and his ilock, and that
Mr.. Shaifer thought he was really more an
uoyed than he was.

The Dairyn,en.. Movement.

A meeting Of the Executive Committee Of
the Maryland State Dairymen's Association
was held on Tuesday afternoon in the Office
OF the american Farmer, Baltimore. A
iull committee was present, and the object Of
the meeting was to draft a memorial to the
Mayor and City Council, setting forth the
large business which is done in this city in
adulterated milk, and the manner in which
that business is conducted. The authorities
were also to be requested to take some action
for regulating the milk trade which would give
honest dealers a fair competition, and give
the public pure milk. Upon discussion it
was decided that It was too near the time for
the probable adjournment of the Council TO
expect that body to do anything in this mat
ter at present, and the placing OF the subject
before them was postponed until more IA
vorabe occasion. DR.. G. W. Chancellor,
member of the committee for the state. at
large, made very forcib!e address upon the
subject OF impure milk, in which he said the
"adulteration of milk has proved q most fer.
tile source OF disease, especially amongst
infants, ond that many deaths are attributable
to it; and that it was high time that some &C.
ton was taken by the municipal authorities
to prevent the continuance of so perncious n
system Mr.. c. II. Lohmann, one Of the
largest dealers in the city, also made an ad-
dress The committee decided to hold a
public meeting on the 23d Of May next, in
some large hall in this city, to which not only
the members of the association, but all inter
in having pure milk only provided for the
public consumption will be invited. Promi.
neut physicians and scientists will be invited
to speak, and the association trusts that pub.
lie opinion will be so thoroughly aroused
upon this matter that irresponsible parties
who are selling adulterated milk VIII be com.
