BALTIMORE. May About two years ago the
Western Maryland Agricultural Society, which
holds its annual fairs at Cumberland, Mary
land. contracted with Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher to deliver the annual address at its
october fair. The fact OF the contract was
widely publ shed, but for some cause MI.
Beecher was not present and consequently failed
to deliver the address. There was a great disap-
po1ntment among the throng OF visitors at the
fair. and the society was accused of having
made its announcement without authority-as
a ''card to draw" A day or two since iI was
telegraphed from washington with the general
news that Mr.. Beecher was in that city and
his presence there became known to the OIL
GERS Of the society at Cumberland. Mr.. Beecher
left Washington this morning for New York,
and when the train In its passage through
Baltimore stopped at Union depot deputy
sheriff STEPPED aboard and served a summons
on Mr.. Beecher. TO. answer a suit against him
by the Agricultural Society for failure to de-
liver the address; the summons being returna-
bic at Cumberland On the second Monday of
May. Mr. Beecher took the matter very good
hun orediy. and said he would answer through
counsel Some excitement was Occasioned
amoDg the passengers at the action of the Off
Ger. but amusement took its place when the
nature OF the business was made known
