The Cheek of a Book Agent.

From the Union Bridge Carroll Co.. Index.
Among the peripatetic wonderers
who infest the rural districts and
whose room is preferable to their
company. are book agents and sewing
machine canvassers. One of the for
ner class, who is travelling through
this section delivering "Schari'S His
tory of Western Maryland" met
with quite Il rebuff the other day i'm
delivering the work to Charles b.
simpson, Esq, of Frederick county.
The facts as we learn them are as fol-
lows: The agent GA led at Mr.. Simp-
sons home during his absence to leave
the work. The ladies of the house
re fused to receive the same, where,
upon he rudcly brushed past them,
PLACED the books up table against
their protest, rushed back to hi,
wagon, jumped in and rapidly drove
away. On Mr.. SIS return he i'll
structed his son, who was Just about
starting off on horseback tnattend to
some business, to take the books,
follow the fellow and place the books
in his wagon. The young man took
the books and gaIlOped off after the
retreatlng agent. AT Mr.. Dewitt
HalneS' residence he saw his wagon
in The yard, and, riding w. placed
the hooks therein, while the agent
WAS in the house ;and returned home.
On returning to his vehicle and timd-
ing the books there, the man OF
"galI" WaXed wroth and threw the
books out into the road, where the v
lay until one OF Mr.. HaineS' family
picked them up and carried them
intO the house, where they remained
at last accounts. Mr.. Simpson REFUSES
To receive them, claiming that he did
not heard the agents version of the
affair.
The Sharpsburg Enterprise has the
following:
"Some of the parties whose names
are down say they were not asked to
subscribe, but OnIy to lend their
tanes as ali Influence. The books
were left with them and they refused
to receive them. The agent was per-
sistent and left copies lying on the
pay in front of their residences
until the bailitf was notified to re
move them. they being adjudged a
nuisance by the connci. The parties
Say they will stand the agent a suit.
Excitement ran high and the affair
was town talk for several days.
In the delivery Of the above work
in this county, the agent met witt,
considerable opposition, and quite /,
number refused to take the book
claiming that they had never sub
scribed for it, and propose to resist
payment. Others claim that the work
is not Il history of Western Maryland
in any sense, and contains little more
than may be found in the Maryland
Directory.
