MISCELLANEOUS.
On Wednesday of last week the boys were
skating on the canal. but the ice has now disap-
pearcd: The ice houses are being repaired in the
hope of harvest of ice.
The query now is, who will be Collector Of the
mort of Baltimore? The Baltimore SIN saws a
Grant man will be appointed. but we have failed
10 learn If Grant man applying. During the
Republican convention held in Bel Air in 1890
there were hut two Grant men among the sixty
delegates They were as scarce as hens teeth in
Hartford. During the last few months they have
multiplied wonderfully.
1t is claimed that there are 10000 colored votes
in Maryland that are always cast solidly for the
Republican party. There are LOO Federal an
pOintments in the State and vet only 20 of them
are filled by colored people. The colored man is
very good for dress parade until the election is
over. but then he must retire until he is again
wanted SIERRA.

testant Episcopal church, Baltimore county,
delivered an interesting and instructive lecture
in the Court House, on Thursday evening of Ia t
week. His subject was Westminster Abbey,
and Rev. Mr.. Barrow isevidently familiar with
that venerable pile and with the history and
literature of his native land. He has besides the
happy faculty of telling what he knows in a
pleasing manner.

STORING IcE.-Many persons availed them
selves of the late cold snap to store at least a
partial supply of ice, A few only were fortunate
enough TO get their ice houses filled. The ice
cut was from three to four inches thick, hut was
generally of excellent quality. The thaw of
Friday and Friday night, however, put a stop
{, the business. While it is not too late to ex-
pect weather sufficiently cold to make thick Ice
on the Susquehanna, the probabilities are
against 1t.

Ing the short notice and the disagrecable
father, the audience numbered about fifty
persons Miss Bigbie has q pleasant voice,
which has been highly cultured under such
masters Of elocution as Murdoch and Bronson.
Her selections were pathetic, dramatic and
humorous, and her tones and gestures wet nd-
mirahly suited to the character of the pieces she
was reciting Miss Bighic came well recon-
mended. She is young lady of the best social
| connections who has adopted this method of
| providing for the support of two orphan nieccs.
For this reason, apart from her talents and high
personal character, she deserves consideration
and respect. We regret that she had not before
her larger audience.

HORRIBLE MURDER OF HAvRE DE GRACE
CArTAlN.-On Saturday, December 9th, Capt.
Caspar Smith left Huvre de Grace with the
schooner Shclldrake laden with guano,
consigned to Il II. 81 w. f Klinefeltcr Balti-
more. The vessel arrived in Baltimore the same
day, and by the 2Sth had discharged her cargo,
reloaded for the return trip and started
for home. On the 3lst Richard Moore, the
deck hand of the Shelldrake and Capt. Smiths
sole assistant, returned to IIavre dc Grace
Capt. John s. Wilson, the owner of the vessel,
surprised at the nonapperance of the vessel, and
learning of Moore's arrival, called upon him and
made enquiries about the vessel. Moore made
contradictory statements and exhibited much
confusion. Captain Wilson went to Baltimore
on Thursday of last week, and after some search
on Friday found his vessel moored at dock
On descending the companion-way he found the
dead body of Capt. Smith, the scene being thus
described:
The body was lying face downwards in the
bunk, with holes in the temple, and when
viewed in that position it was seen that the buck
and the rear part of he head were covered with
brood The hands. of the murdered man were
clasped tightly over the breast, the ends of the
fingers being purple with blood forced into them
by the tension Of the grip. The long, black
beard was frozen stiff and hard, with the blood
and water while two blood-covered handker-
chiefs were crammed into the mouth aud half
way down the throat as gag. AT the foot of
the corpse two small kegs of powder were found,
leading some to suppose that an attempt had
been made to blow up the schooner by slow
fuse.
The murderer had tried TO hide the bloody
evidence of his crime for in the cabin stood
bucket half filled with ice, in which bloody
cloth was frozen, and the edge of the bunk, the
floor and sides of the cabin were covered with
thin coatings of ice, only partially hiding the
blood-stans, ard showing that the murderer had
tried to etface them.
1t is supposed that the fatal blows were struck
while Smith was in the centre of the in, the
weapon used being heavy iron marlinspike.
In the scufile the blood flew in every direction,
but second blow probably feled the victim
He had shouted for help or appealed for mercy,
from the fact of the gag in the mouth. Thus
overpowered he was thrown into the bunk to
die.
Moore was arrested, but denied any compiled
ty in the crime He resided with his mother and
has three brothers in Havre de Grace.
Captain Caspar Smith, the murdered man. was
about As years old, and was Il hard working man
of good character. He leaves a wife and five
children, in destitute circumstances. The re.

dogs and hunters. After running several miles
it took refuge in a hole on Mr.. s. A. Williams
