Sunday morning last, In the 3Sth year of his age
Mr.. Easter was nm active business man and was
highly respected by large circle of friends. lie
leaves wife and two children.
Several Of the county police were In Tow
sontown on Tuesday and u was funny to see them
lighting shy Of the drinking saloons. The order
OF the Commissioners may be thought TO be little
rough on the police, but for all that IL Il q very
wise one and should have been passed long ago.
But then "back room" Is u very handy thing 10
have about the house.
We see BY the annual statement Cprinted In
the form of u eircular) Of the Mutual Fire Insur.
ance Company In baltimore county, that that
company will not Insure property within one mile
Of the Baltimore city limits. and nj the same time
We hear of several properties within n few hun.
drcd yards Of the limits upon which IL has risks.
How can this be done!

The constabulary force OF this county needs
u thorough Reorganization and pruning a little

short time ago she went out With basket To pro
cure shayings. crowd Of children gathered
about and jecred her. which excited her that
she struck at some of them. The police arrested
her. and Justice Grindall committed her 10 the
House Of Correction for Elk months as nm habitu-
ally disorlerly person. Her son knew nothing of
Il until, after making inquiries. he asecrtaincd
that she was at the House Of Correction. The
case was argued by Gcn. Bradley 7. johnson and
VIM. 7. Wharton. ten. johnson argued that the
act Of 1850. chapter q. 80 far il attempted re-
strict Judges Of Circuit Courts from issuing writs
Of habeas corpus throughout the State, anil To-
confne them to their judicial circuits. IL void be.
cause unconstitutional, and Judge Yclloit could.
therefore, issue the writ ofhabeas corpus

section G. declares that Judges, by virtue Of their
ctlicc shall be c"nservators Of the peace through

Judges bad the power 20 issue writs Of habcas cor
pus by virtue of this power Of eonscrvators Of the
peace. The people In adopting the constitution Of
