The american Agriculturist cautions farm
srs against signing their names to anything,
at the solicitation Of glib.tongued agents, who
may want their post office address, or want
them to act as agent for some kind of agricul-

power, machine for sharpening the teeth of
mowers, or something else, no matter what, so
they get your signature. As soon as they make
their business known refuse them courteously
but firmly. Then, if they don leave, but per-

The WESTERN Maryland r. r. DILEMMA
NO definite action has vet been taken by
the Western Maryland railroad directors
looking to a settlement of the pending Difficult.
" in regard 10 the petition ofthe second,prc.
ierred'mortgage bondhoders for foreclosure
and sale. The finance committee of the
road, Messrs. Alexander Reiman, Samuel
Ii. Adams, George NJ. Gill, 4. G.. Hipsley
and Col. John X. Longwell, have had several
meetings and had under consideration a pro.
Ject for the adjustment Of the differences Be.
tween the preferred bondhoders and the
road. The petition for foreclosure on the
other hand is said to have been duly consid-
cred by the petitioners, and prayed for not
with the view OF forcing the city into purchas-
ing the bonds, but with the object Of realiz-
ing on the investment. The officers Of the
company point to the fact that the revenues
for 1878 were $4,000 in excess of 1877,
and that payment of interest on the first
mortgage has begun, and that interest on the
second will be provided for at an early day.
The committee Of finance directors met In
conference at Hillen Station Wednesday, with
a committee Of the holders Of the second pre-
ierred bonds, with reference to the bill filed
at Iowsontown Friday praying for foreclos-
ure OF the mortgage and a decree for the sale
OF the road. A discussion took place prelim-
mary to steps looking to an arrangement be-
tween the company and the holders Of the
mortgage, which, il is thought by some, may
result in a settlement Of the difficulty without
further procedure at law. IL is stated that
many Of the bondholders living on the line of
the road are strongly in favor Of such an ar.
rangement, and would be slow to press any
measures to embarrass the company On
the other hand, there are some of the bond.
holders who express the intention of pressing
for decree Of foreclosure, and one of them
has stated that they stood ready with pur.
chaser for the road should the court grant the
decree Of sale. The bondholders who have
been active in filing the bill state that they
have no desire to urge the city to purchase
the bonds since the refusal Of the finance com
missioners to recommend that such pur-
chase be made, and have stated that they
would not be willing to sell at the two thirds
price heretofore asked. The commissioners
OF finance state that they feel no very deep
anxiety about the matter, aud evidently have
concluded that it will be arranged without De.
triment to the eity's interest.

JUsTIcE CaAPsfER's CouRT.-There were
two cases before Justice Crapster on Wednes-
day. The first was that Of the State vs. An
drew Pfauch, for threatening to kill his wife.
Barbara, gave her statement G. Await acting
as interpreter to the Court, detailing the nu.
merous acts Of violence ofthe husband who had
promised TO love and cherish her. Andrew
testified to the many acts of disobedieuce OF
the wife who had vowed to love, honor and
obey him, and swore point blank in opposi-
ton to all Of Barbara's accusations. Several
witnesses testified in the matter, but their
testimony added nothing in calculating the
case, as all had seen nothing but the best of
behavior between the two. Hon. John E.
Smith appeared for Andrew, Jas. A. C. Bond,
Esq, for Barbara, and d. N. Henning, Esq,
for the State. Justice Crapster held Andrew
in the sum of $50 to keep the peace. Andrew
gave bail.
The second case was that Of Charles Croft
for ASSEMBLING George II. Buckingham, for
which performance he was fined one dollar
aud costs
