that James H. llu;chins was convicted of as.
sault and battery upon John Zimmerman, of p.
per Gross Roads, at the last November term of
court and sentenced TO pay n fine of 81 and cost 3
and to be confined in the county jail for thirty
days. He paid the fine of 81 and served thirty
days. Then, being released upon his re arrest
for non-payment of the costs, amounting to
about 500, his counsel, Hon. Herman Stump,
DR., sued out writ of habeus corpus, returna.
BILE before the Circuit Court for Baltimore coun.
ty, where Judge Yellott taking the view that
the costs were debt, released him from further
custody, on the ground that there can be no
imprisonment for debtin this State. The Judge,
however, ON Thursday of last week. delivered
another opinion in reference to these matters,
and said in substance that he was satisfied, from
n more careful review ofall the authorities, par.
ticularly the Act Of Assembly of 1880, that the
costs can be made part of the penalty imposed
by the court, and the party imprisoned the pre-
scribcd length of time, which is sixty days
where the amount of costs exceeds fifty dollars
unless the same are paid. Tina State was gcpre
scented in the case by Geo. Y. Maynadicr ESD
States Attorney, and VIM. Young, Esq. Hon

CANDLEMAs DAY.-Tuesday last, February cd,
was the festival ofthe Publication of the Virgin
Mary, and is celebrated in the Roman Catholic
and Protestant Episcopal churches. Its observ-
vance dates back to the earliest period of Christ
ian history. The name Candlemas Day is de-
rived from the custom in the Roman Catholic
church of blessing the candles to be used in the
church services during the year. The poet Her
rick, who died in the 18th century, recommends
very particular care in the thorough removal of
the Christmas garnishings on Candlemas eve:
THAT so the superstitious find
No one least branch there behind
For look, how many leaves there be
Neglected there, maids, trust to me-
So many goblins you shall see.'
There is also auniversal superstition through
out Christcndom that good weather on this day
indicates n long continuance of winter and bad
crops, and that Its being foul is, on the con.
trary, good omen. In Germany there are two
proyerblal expressions on this subject L. The
shepherd would rather see the wolf enter his
stable on Condemns day than the sun; g. The
badger peeps out of his hole on Candemas day,
and when he finds snow, walks abroad bnt II he
sees the sun shining, draws back into his hole.
The popular Scottish rhyme Is:
I, III Candlemas day be dry and fair,
The hair Of winters to come and MAR:
IL Candlemas day he wet and foul.
D. The half OF winters game at Yule."
In thiscountry the ground hog, or woodchuck,
instead of the badger, is believed to be the
