Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and its

Presidency.-It is learned from reliable
authority that Hon. Arthur P. German
United States Senator from Maryland, who
is also President of tn Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal Company, will serve in the latter DO
sition only until his term expires, in June,
and that he will decline to be a candidate
for reelection at the meeting of the Board
of Public Works to be held in that month.
1t is stated that Mr.. German would have re.
signed the presidency of the canal = ago
but for the troubles that existed, ot be-
ing willing to leave while mattel, ,eemed
to be under cloud. MIR. Gormar as been
induced to refuse reelection in Ter that
such action may be for the good of his
friends and the party, who think that he
should not hold two offices of such profit
at the same time. 1t is asserted that Gov.
Hamilton has never suggested any name to
the Board as president of the canal, and
that at the meeting of the Board in June he
will have an opportunity TO do So Those
mentioned as likely to be the successor of
Mr.. German are Messrs. John Ritchic, of
Frederick city; Outerbridge Horsey, of
Frederick county, and e. W. Mealey, of
Washington county. Although there is no
law requiring the president to come from
Western Maryland, yet on account of the
great interests of the canal lying in this Sec
ton the presumption is that the president
will be taken from this part of the State;
in fact no names are mentioned in connac
ton with the position from elsewhere.

Church RObbery.-Sometim during
Friday night last or Saturday morning
thieves burglarously entered st. Marys
church and the parsonage adjoining En-
trance was, effected by raising window
by the sacristy door which is located in the
rear of the building. The tabernacle in
which was stored the ciborium was broken
into, but so far nothing has been missed.
The charity box was broken open also, and
the contents, the value of which ia not
known, confiscated by the marauders, and
the church property generally left in very
disorderly condition. After securing what
booty they could in the church they visited
the parsonage, gaining an entrance through
a window in the study. Here with Ratchet
and hammer vigorous attack was made
upon the drawers Of the secretary, one of
which contained dozen solid silver spoons,
the property of the housekee per, Mrs. Gas.
sidy. Another drawer was also tried but
the thieves desisted; had they succeeded in
this they would have secured Father Gal
lens gold watch, the pyx and chalice, total
value about 1876 A valuable, but small
bronze clock, was also taken from the study
of Father Gallen. Daylight approaching
too rapidly the rascas beat retreat taking
with them Father Gallen's oyercoat and
umbrella.

there was no wealth attschsd to the Peersge,

BY sequestration and other causes growing
out of the war of l776 the vast possessions this

by Subdivisions, improvidence and causes that
