Sale Of Carroll County COurt House Re-
uaafP ROuds,

L The Commissioners of Carroll county, under
| law passed at the last session of the Legls-
| lature advertised to sell at their office in the
| Court House, on Tuesday morning last, S10,-
600 in bonds, to be known as Carroll County
1 Court House Repair Bonds. Quite num-
Der of persons gathered, and the sale was held
| in the courtroom. After the reading of the
act under which the bonds were issued by X.
| B. Norment, Esq, and some explanations by
! Commissioner Warner, Auctioneer Matthews
mounted a chair and began the sale. The
bonds were disposed of in short order as fol-
! lows:
To Hon. John E. Smith 81 900 bond, to run
two years, at $1050.
To Granville S. Haines, $1,000 bond, to run
four years, at $1040, and $1,000 bond, to run
six years, at $1040.50.
To Jacob D. Lester $500 bond, to run seven
years. at $500.
To F. H. Orendorff $500 bond, to run seven
years, at S512.50; and $1,000 bond, to run
| fourteen years, at S1025.
To DIR. +. L. Shaw $1,000 bond; to run nine
wears, at $1O25, and $1,000 bond, torun fifteen
years, at 5000.
To Hon. Chas. B. Roberts $1,000 bond, to
run ten years, at S1025; $1,000 bond, to run
twelve wears, $1025, and $1,000 bond, TO run
thirteen years, at $1,000. ,..-.-.
These bonds bear five per cent. interest,
free of taxation, payable semi annually, on
the first of April and October of each year.
In the aggregate the bonds brought S5oo pre-
MUM. but one of the anomalies OF financial
transactions is that short term bonds brougnt
more than those that have from seven to nj
! teen years to ruu At the rate that the two,
year bond brought the fifteen-year BOND should
have sold for at least 5000 premium
The sale is good one, and bears evidence
! of the sound financial condition OF the county.
Ten years ago such a sale would have oeen
wonderful Now that money is ruling low Tor
! frst-class securities, the wonder is that tne
bonds did not go higher. -,
For some reason there was holding OH,
| and one purchaser of $1,000 bond at $50 pre-
MUM was offered 500 for his bargain few
minutes after the sale The idea got abroad
that the bonds would sell at high hgure, ana
/ there was not much disposition to bid. A
number of persons who had previously talked
! of buying were not present.
1t is not likely that to pay interest on these
bonds and to redeem them will not cost the
county dollar. The act auth orizing the Com
missioners to repair the Court House and issue
the bonds, also requires the clerk OF the CIR
cult court to pay the excess of fees of his Of
! fee over to the Commissioners instead OF to
the Comptroller of the Treasury. These fees
will amount to about 1000 annually, an
amount that will pay the interest and redeem
! the bonds in fifteen years.

Recovering from Spectators IN Ansur-
ance Policies. -

From the Gettysburg Compiler of recent
date we take the following:
Administrator of estate of Henry Reese,
deceased, VS.. d. H. Reiman. Summons IN
debt. Verdict of $780, 80 for plaintiff.
Administrators of estate. of Jacob Moose,
deceased, VS.. John G. Gilbert. Verdict tor
$144.04.
Same VS.. Abraham Hoke. Verdict for
$299.O4.
Same vs. F. S. Ramer. Verdict for 81
$685. 49,
The above cases grow out of the speculative
life assurances, the legal representatives OF
the parties whose lives were insured seeking
to recover the amounts realized by the defend
ants on policies purchased by them: The
Reese policy was issued by the State Capitol
company, and the Moose policies by the Han
over Southern Pennsylvania company. Yer
diets were rendered for plaintiffs as above,
subject to reserved legal points as to right OF
plaintiffs to recover under facts and pleadings.
On Monday Judge MCLEAN filed opinions in
all cases, ordering judgments to be entered
for plaintiffs for the amounts found by the jury.
The assignees had insurable interest in the
lives insured and the assignments being for
speculative purposes, they can only take the
amounts expended by them, the balance inur-
ing to the legal representatives of the insured.
The verdicts in each case are the amounts
found by the jury to be in hands of defendants,
after deducting expenditures from the sums
paid over by the insurance companies.

DECEMBER 9th, 1882.
MEssRs EDITORS "A week could not make
much change in place like this; yet, since
the last writing, we have had several changes
in the weather.
If we get a little lonely find there is one
thing here to vary the monotony; it is that
worse than tramp, the pedler. He assails you
with bull dog tenacity, and often succeeds in
worrying you to buy. The next thing IN or
der is to beg his meals and lodgings he is
equally as tenacious on this point. Some
times they ask in respectable manner for
these favors, but it is more frequently with an
air that would impress upon you the fact that
it is your duty to grant their request. They
come in every conceivable shape and with all
kinds of goods. The notion pedler, the linen
pedler, the patent medicine and liniment ped
Ter, and the greatest of all nuisances, the tin
pedler. They start out to sell, and save all
they get by getting food and lodging on the
clear. 1t really would be a great advantage,
| think, to put stop to this abomlnable prac-
tice in our midst. Did you know that the
hardness of place, l mean county or state,
was always evidenced by great number OF
pedlers infesting it? Their style of doing
business does not suit an enlightened, lntelli-
gent people. The time to bore people and
force them to buy is swiftly passing away;
people Duy DIS Ihey lell ulSposcu- LIEU no u J
and bring legislationto bear on this evil, and
have it done away with.
The people in this locality are just now in
the midst of butchering. Fine hogs are being
slaughtered and prices are about $500.
Most of the corn is gathered and is now
selling at 81 so per barrel; the crop is good:
have been informed that Jesse Long and
Earnest Rausch have made as much as Is
barrels to the acre off of portion of their
land. This is large yield. | am sure they
will not object to quantity, as it must be OF
good quality.
The Western Maryland Railroad is engaged
in the erection of a new iron bridge, near this
point, at what is known as Longs bridge.

Serious Charge.

VIM. Caples, commonly known as "Young
Colonel of Woolerys district, is charged
with being guilty of an outrageous assault upon
Miss Laura Bergen, living with the family of
Mr.. Anon Allgire, who reared her, about five
miles from this city. The facts, so far as we
have been able to learn them, are that on last
Sunday afternoon Miss Bergen was sent on an
errand to neighboring farm, and when re-
turning met Caples and another young man.
After passing the young men, who were under
the influence of liquor, they turned and fol-
lowed her for more than mile, overtaking
her in lonely spot, where the alleged assault
was committed by Caples. She struggled
with him, and although several times thrown
to the ground, succeeded in making her es-
cape. Her friends, to whom she at once
made complaint and showed her torn cloth
ing, saw on her face the marks of violence
inflicted by Caples grasping her with his hand
to suppress her screams. The snow at the
place where the assault occurred exhibited
signs of violent struggle. Caples, it is said
has absconded, and that ON Tuesday he pur-
chased railroad ticket in Baltimore, paying
for Il 5000. Miss Bergenis only about four.
teen years old. Her assailant is married
,aan, and in his flight left behind him wife
and several children.

Mr. George Duvall lost very valuable
horse on Monday evening last. Mr. Duvalr S

which caused his death.
Mr.. William Null is building on the site of
his old barn, which he has lately removed, a

Morn and eve are made hideous by the cries
which issue from the threats of thousands of

ping it to-Sykesville.

killed in this immediate neighborhood:
