.,... Baltimore was II aglow on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of thi.
week, with its Oriole celebration. Many
from this county visited the city during
that time did are enthusiastic over the
sights seen and the enjoyment bad.-

crowded before On Tuesday it was cs-
timated that orer 200 900 strangers were
present. All modes Of conyeyanciug
were taxed to their utmost capacity.

of Mcssrs Rowe and Wilmer. Mr. Rowe
defines his position, and as might have

misquoted remarks at the late judicial
convention as reported in the Baltimore

the attention Of purchasers.

remove the same to Cox's Station. This
is very serious loss to'this community.

had to retire to the mountains of Fir-
5inia TO recuperate, and nov he wants
