1t is suggested that the strength Of the
American branches of the Irish Land League
should be used to assist Arab Pasha in his
struggle with England. Funds have been
offered in Philadelphia for the purpose and
several enthusiastic individuals express
themselves anxious to fight England under
Arabi's banners. The more sensible men,
bere of the League denounce the project as
foolish and as emanating from some one anx-
ious to make money out of the operation
1t would be far better to send the money to
Ireland to aid her distressed and impov-
erished people, than by undertaking to fight
England ut such long range.

The JudgeshiD,

The only candidates for the Judgeship in this
judicial circuit so far announced, are the pres
ent incumbents, Judges Grason and Yellott
and David Fowler Esq, of Baltimore county
The following letter from Judge Yelott 10
prominent citizen of Baltimore county, appears
to set at rest the charge that the Judge, if not
nominated by the Democratic convention,
would run as an indepndent candidate
TowsoNTowN, July 12th, 1882
Ny Dear iSr;-In reply to the inquiry, "Win
you abide by the decision of the Democratic
convention" have to say, that / have now
about the third ola century, and expect to do
so at the coming election. In regard to nv
own nomination | must be permitted to say
that If | allowed myself to be controlled by
selfish and pecuniary considerations it is posi-
BILE that / should decline. An old and expe-
rienced lawyer, competent to properly dis
charge the duties devolving upon a Judge, can
always by industry and application obtain q
practice more remunerative than the salary of
Judge, and he has more liberty, less labor and
less responsibility. Perhaps no one knows bet
ter than do that the Judicial office is no sine
cure. And l have had personal experience
that has fallen to the lot of no other Judge in
this or any other State. 1t is recent in the rec
objection of all men that the vituperations and
ISLANDERS that were directed against me were
without example in virulence. This shameful
warfare against q judicial officer was commenced
and carried on by persons living beyond the
limits of this circuit with the malignant design
of driving me from the bench because | per-
sistently maintained the sacred right of every
citizen to the trial by jury; but would not be
driven. l remained at the post where l had
been placed by the sovereign authority of the
people. The people of Baltimore and Hartford
counties stood at my back and / knew they
were there They nobly sustained me, and in
so doing have placed me under lasting debt of
gratitude. l owe everything to them and will
serve them as long as / have the physical and
mental ability to do so. But if the convention
deem it expedient to nominate new men for the
offices to be filled, can assure you that as far
as am Individually concerned their decision
will be perfectly satisfactory.
Very truly, yours, GEO YEILoTT

SHEPHERD DOCS ZEAL WITHOUT KNowI.-
EDGE.-Messrs. 8. B. Silver & Bro. have a large
flock of sheep, on their farm, near Priesthood
Bridge, and trained shepherd dogs TO assist in
taking care of them. One of these dogs had &C.
easionally aided in driving locks of sheep to
Churchville, a distance of four or five miles.
The dog evidently liked the work and several
times, gathering the sheep together at night,
drove them to the same place, on his own ac-
count, injuring the flock by hurrying them
along at a rapid pace. A short time ago the
dog repeated the offence, and not only took the
sheep safely to Churchville, but drove them, it
is said, into field and returned home. The
owners found their sheep the next morning, but
to prevent further annoyance from intelligence
so ill.directed, they had the dog killed.

A GARD

From DIR. FOrwOOd, Correcting Misre-
presentations regarding his Profess
siOnal Fees.
In defense of the principles of truth and Justice,
we are compelled, very unpleasantly, yet in self
defense, to resort to the columns of the public
press for the correction of erroneous report of
extensive circulation, which has become annoy
ing to our personal friends, and which reacts in
juriously upon our own business interests, to
wit: refer to the gross Misrepresentation of
my professional charges, or fees. The most ex .
aggerated statements, in this regard, having been
industriously and persstently circulated through
out the county, both designedly and innocently,

ant of the facts involved.

standing our frequent verbal denials, that our
medical charges much exceed the customary
rates, that our ordinary fees, in the simplest
These reports have been so long in circulation
that 1t now becomes necessary to resort to this
unpleasant kind Of publicity, as before remark
ed, for the protection of rights due every citizen
We desire now to clearly and plainly state, once
for all, we hope, in this public manner-so that
there may be no grounds for ignorance or for
misrepresentation in the future-that our usual
charge per visit and medicine, in the day time,
and under five miles distance, is now, and has
lars, only, which is the professed charge of every
reputable physician, so far as we are informed, in
Hartford county. OF course in rare cases, requir-
ing extra attention, or SKILL or medicine. an ad-
ditional charge becomes necessary; but we wish
it distinctly understood, and our bills throughout
the neighborhood will attest our assertion, that
our ordinary fee for visit and medicine, or advice,
as the case may require, is two dollars.
1t is not to be inferred from this explanation,
forced upon us by the persistent Justification of
those whose motives we do not now desire to pre-
sent to public view, that we appear in the charac-
ter of an applicant for favors: not so we simply
ask, after our long and patient submission to
wrong in silence, that the truth may now be al

BEL AIR Town TAXEs.--The Commissioners
of the town of Bel Air have fixed the tax rate
this year at 35 cents on the 800. 1t appears
from the tax schedule that there are $50 tax
payers in the town. The total amount of as
sessable property is $3O6, $50. Amount of taxes
levied 81 ,0739l. The tax rate of 81 cents in
cludes the county road tax, which is from 10 to
20 cents on the 500, leaving the amount of the
town tax proper, exclusive of the road tax,
about Is cents on the sl0O Last year the town
tax was cents on the 800, in addition to the
road tax. The increase has been made neces-
sary on account of the turnpiking of Bond
street, which will cost about $780, A portion
of this amount will be raised by assessments
upon property holders on that street
Some steps have been taken by the Commits
sioners towards procuring fireapparatus for the
town, but as very little of the town taxes will
be paid before January, 1888, and the amount
promised for the fire apparatus by the County
Commissioners and the Fire Insurance Company
will not be available for some time, the Com
missioners have not felt inclined to go into
debt for the muchneeded improvement.
