AN INNOCENT VICTIM.

The Wrong Man Said TO Have Boon Hanged
The people of Princess Anne, Crisfield
and other part of Somerset county, Md,
are greatly excited over the reported con.
| fessiOn of a woman who is now on heI
death bed Of having murdered man eigh.
teen years ago. Two negroes were ex.
ccutcd for the crime in 1866. The mur-
der occurred some time during the
latter part Of 1862, the victim being
Azariah Dougherty, who was found
dead in his store. As was then sup
posed, his money was the incentive for
the crime. Suspicion rested upon two
co!ored men, who were arrested soon after
the murder was porpetrated, but no
money was found in their possession and
none could be found about the premises
of Dougherty. 1t was generally supposed
that some other party or parties were ac-
cessory to the crime, but time failed to
unravel the mystery and the men ar
rested were soon after placed on trial for
murder and found guilty and sentenced to
be hanged.
The evidence upon which they were
convicted was purely circumstantial, all
efforts to show directly that they COM
mitted the crime having failed. The
strongest evidence connecting them with
the murder is said to have been the find
ing in tho pockets of one of the accused of
knife that it was shown belonged to
Dougherty. On the scaffold both men
solemnly protested innocence down to
the moment when the fatal drop fell, and
one OF them, in a speech from the gallows,
declared himself guiltless of the terrible
crime and said that the perpetrator of the
murder would te discovered in less than
twenty years, and that he wouldn't be
found to be a black man, either.
The woman who is reputed to have made
the startling confession is Mrs. Patty A.
Ward, living few miles from Cris6eld.
She is suffering from terrible cancer,
which has placed her beyond all fear of ]

Mr.. Davis Forest) called up the act to
lay out, build and repair the roads and
bridges of this commonwealth, and made
an elaborate argument in its favor. A
motion was made to indefinitely postpone
the bill. Mr.. McGifin opposed the bill and
in the course of his remarks said "The
farmers don't want anything of this kind.
Now, why should a lawyer away up in the
northern part of the state insist upon this
bill There is no other reason except
that there are fees in the case"
That is falsehood," said Mr.. Davis.

Mr.. McGif6n said he was opposed to this
bill and in explanation of the word ''fees''
said it would produce endless litigation,
and that meant fees for lawyers. It was
an outrageous bill and he called on his
friends to vote it down. [Unmitigated ap.

Picked Olives.
Californian

The best olive for picking is the Picholine
(Oleo oblonga). In the south of France it is
gathered in October, just before the fruit has
commenced to turn brown. The finest are Sc
lected and placed in weak solution of soda,
to which lime has been added. After remain
ing in the solution about ten hours, or until
the pulp can be readily detached from the kerr
mel, they are removed and placed in cold water
which is daily changed for week. The pro-
cess removes the tannin from the unripe fruit.
When they cease to be bitter they are bottled in
Brine which is usually made aromatic with
coriander or fennel. The next best variety for
picking is the oleo minor lucensis, ninth varie-
ty in New-Duhamel. This is also valuable for
oil. In Portugal the ordinary larger kind
grown for oil is used to vast extent as food,
and the experience of ages in that country,
and of the whole Hebrew race (the healthiest
race of men in the world) everywhere bears
testimony to its value. If he had to go 100
miles for his olives, the Jew would have them.
Without attempting to give the details of
treating the Spanish olive for long preserva-
ton, for export, &C., may in this place men
ton that the olive plays no inconsiderable part
in the ordinary food of the people of Portugal;
and the experience of ages has shown it to be
both grateful to the palate and wholesome
Now the common practice is to allow the lar
ger and more 1eshy kinds to become ripe, i. e.,
black, when they lose good deal of their. as
tringent and acrid taste. These are then
scalded in water considerably under boiling,
into which an ounce or so of soda to the gal
Ion is dissolved, and let stand in it for three or
four hours-in fact, till it is cold. They are
then taken out and well washed in cold water
several times over, and finally put into a clean
wooden or large earthenware vessel, and COM
pletely covered with a pretty strong brine of
salt and water, and covered up from the air.
Another lot, first treated as above, is put down
as pickle in moderately strong vinegar and
used as required. When allude to the prep
aration of Spanish olives for export, only
mean the plans adopted in packing, in pickle,
oil, bottling, sc. The preparation Of the fruit
is alike in all cases-save that when dealing
with the full ripe ones we remove the salt
water pickle three or four times at intervals of
a week or so, and each time the berries are
rendered more mellow. 1 have kept them in
ordinary large earthenware jars, merely COW
cred by the lid, for more than two years, in
Melbourne, without appearing to change for
the worse
