st. Mary'S Beacon.
With the last issue of This journal,
Mr. John f. Kihg, its veteran senior-edi-
tor, takes leave of his readers, and an
nounces his retirement from his editorial
position in favor of his son Francis v.
King. Mr.. King states that it has long
been his intention to retire in favor of his
son, so soon as the latter should attain the
age of majority, and, as that event has just
happened, he now carries out his original
purpose. Under the elder Mr.. Kings ed
itorial management the Beacon has always
been one of the most welcome of our coun-
try exchanges, and its high tone and the
righteousness and ability of its editorial
utterances caused it to be recognized as
one of the best county papers in the State
We wish the retiring editor all manner of
happiness in his retirement, and extend a
hearty welcome to his son and successor
We can only hope that the editorial man
tie will fa'l as becomingly upon the son, as
it has always been worn by the father.

Malaria.

Malaria.
There is considerable sickness in tn e
village at present of u malarial type. It
is noticeable that this trouble has all de-
vsloped since the work on the canal be-
gan. We called attention TO this matter
two weeks ago. OF course the tact of the
prevalence of this malady at this tine is
by no means conclusive evidence that the
operations on the canal are the chief or
even a con .ributing cause, but, as we said
before, we think that the nature of the
earth being thrown from that work should
be examined, and if necessary to the pub
lie health, the work should be suspended.
We hope that some of the scientific gen
tlemen of the sanitary committee will
take it upon themselves on Tuesday next.
to make an inspection of this work, and
take proper action.

An Accident to a Horse.

We are sorry to learn of quite a Sc
we're accident that occurred on FRIDAY
night last at Cox's Station, to one of Mr.
c. F. Hayden's four year old gray colts
Mr.. Hayden has a pair of these colts that
he values very highly and which give
promise of becoming most excellent team.
The colt that was hurt got his leg between
the bars of the stalls and its struggles to
release itself must have been desperate
and prolonged, for when seen the next
morning it was in a terribly bruised and
almost helpless condition. We have since
learned that he is slowly recovering, and We
sincerely hope that he may soon be at Mr..
Hayden's service, as it would be severe
loss to him if so promising match were
broken.

Horse Thieves.

f1OfSc Thieves
Considerable excitement has been
created in our county during the past
week, by the depredations of two horse
thieves, in different sections of the county.
On the night of the 21st, Mr. Richard T..
Boarman, of Bryantown, had valuable
mare stolen from his stable. The thief
was tracked for some distance in the di-
rection of Washington, when all traces of
him were lost. The thief is described as
a white man. 5 fee. II inches high, with
dark complexion.
On Monday Mr.. ]. B. Norris, Jr of Cobb
Neck, had valuable young harness horse
stolen from his pasture The thief was
seen to pass through this village early on
Tuesday morning. going in the direction
Of Pisgah. Mr.. Norris started in pursuit
Of him on Tuesday, but being unable to
get any traces of his course further than
this village, put the case in the hands of
deputy sheriff Switzerland. Mr.. Souther-
land went promptly in pursuit on We'd
nesday morning. and, when near Glymont
traced the passage of the thief in the di-
rection OF Marshall Hall. The deputy
sheriff followed closely on his track, and
the same day, arrested the thief and re-
captured the horse at the latter place
The thief is described as short well set
man with light complexion and mus ache
wearing blue linen suit. He gives the
name of William Burns, and claims to be
a resident of Alexandria. He was in this
county during the past winter and spring
vending a patent non-exploslve .csntri-
vance for kerosene lamps. The thief was
taken 10y deputy sheriff Switzerland be-
fore Justice Munroe, who, after hearing,
committed him to the Jail in this vii age
for the action of the Grand Jury. The
horse has been returned to Mr.. Norris. =
The purpose of the thief was to get over
to Mount Vernon or the White House on
the steamer that touches at Marshall Hall
and then make his escape into Virginia
Deputy Ssuther.and deserves much ere
dit for his prompt and intelligent action.
We learned yeste day that Mr. Boarman's
mare has been found near Bryantown,
showing many evidences of ill usage

did not see the proot-sheet nor the first

take until too late to rectify it. We give

friend ''Lsstow' will forgive the oversight

That of thy glories these were all,
