This affair has been gotten up by the ladies of
the Cornwallis's Neck Church and their Pastor
for the purpose of raising funds to make some
sadly needed repairs to their little Chapel
The congregation that worshirs ut this little
church is small one, and for the most part
not very rich in this worlds goods; so that
the raising of funds for the necessary repairs
by private contribution would not be an easy
matter. Those, therefore, who by attending
this entertainment, contribute TO the good
cause, will he assisting in commendth'e
ch,rity. This promises TO tie one of the most
-ni,,ahle of these entertainments vet given.
The spacious pavilion will afford every oppor-
,unty for dancing and good band will be in
attendance The field exercises " i'll he rendered
more entertaining b, the ey'rllent fitting
grounds, commanding situation aud find river
scenery by which it is surrounded. There ill
be an abundance of refreshments on the grounds
and good supper will be served at night
The af ,ir is in the hands of n reliable commit
tee, including Rev. Father MacS"yney, the
pastor, md the best of order will he main

Disc ha rsed from Custody.
Joseph and Ignatus Butler, colered who
had been arrested upon the charge Of being
accessory to the larceny Of some tobacco from
Mr.. B. D. Tubman, by Francis Butler, their
brother, and committed to Jail by Justice Hal.
~ were brought before Judge Stone on Thurs
day last upon writ Of habeas corpus. The case
was argued by the States attorney in behalf
of the State and by Mr.. F. N. Cox, counsel
for the prisoners. 1t was commended in behalf
of the prisoners frst, that the larceny to which
they were charged with being accessory, could
not have taken place, because Francis Butler, the
alleged principal, was tenant upon shares and
in exclusive possession of the tobacco charged
to have been stolen; and, second that there
WAS no evidence Of guilty knowledge on the
part of the prisoners. The Court discharged
them on their own recognizance. On Tues
day the case of William Thomas, Jr., and bis
father William Thomas, Sr.-the former
charged with having been accessory to the same
larceny and the later with having received the
stolen goods-csme up for a bearing before
Justice Smoot. William Jr., was discharged
upon his own recognizance to appear at the
November court and William Sr., was finally
discharged, there being no evidence against
him.

Steam Tug Burned.

The steam tug Kate, owned by Capt. Ellis
Of Alexandria, Va, while towing vessel up
the Potomac on Thursday night of last week,
accidentally caught FIRE when opposite Indian
Head in this county, just below GIymont, and
was burned to the waters edge. The crew took
to the boats and embarked on the steamer Lady
of the Lake which passed up shortly after the
accident for Alexandria. The wreck Of the
burned tug was subsequently, brought ashore
at Indian Head by some fishermen where il now
lies. One of the crew of the burned vessel
gives the following account Of the disaster:
when passing Indian Head FIRE was dis
covered 10 be in the hold and the fore peak of
the tug The alarm was Immediately given
and the whole crew aroused and put to work
to check the flames from spreading to the Goa!
bin and machinery. But the fire must have
been burning some time before it was discover.
ed, and in spite of the utmost endeavors OF the
men with water buckets and the hose pipe, the
donkey engine doing remarkably we'll, the
flames soon burst through the deck and swept
with irresistible fury to the coal bin, setting
the large mass of fuel on fire and also the oil
cans and nflammable material in the engine
room. Finally the crew, seeing that resist
ance with the water-bHckets would be useless,
and that they could not lower the yaw! boat.
got into y skiff that was on board. and making
for the shore, abandoned the tug to her fate.
After destroying the cabins and other light
work of the tug, the flames continued burning
the hull until after o'clock"
With the exception of some of the officers
papers, two guns and a kw other articles,
everything on her was consumed, even to the
clothing of the men. The Kate was originally
employed as a Government tug, and was usd
during the winter rs an ice-breaker, ald 81
though she was old she was considered one Of
the strongest and best tugs On the Potomac.
The crew is largely blamed by some for her
loss, for it is said that no efforts were made to
scuttle Der and run her ashore.

Editors Of the Times

Editors Of the Times:
DEAR Sir Ever since your correspondent
first saw the light of this world he has heard
of the fertile and beautiful country, the beauti-
full girls, and the hospiable people Of Upper
Marlboro in our brother county Prince George 5
but until Monday of last week he never fully
realized how well he had been informed. We
arrived at Upper Marlboro by the | 30 train
Monday, and went Immediately to the Episcopal
Rectorv wht r. we were cordially e'eived hy
Rev. Dir Levin and f,mlv. After spending
several hours in pleasant conversation We
started for n drive through the country Tn.
character of the soil in this section is a rich
10 I'm in,rrspersei with fields of red clay. Corn
and tobacco flourish in all of this section, while
tie CLAW lands are most admirably adapted to
the grow Of wheat. The first farm we visited
after leaving the Rectorv is owned br DR..
Sasscer on which il Is estima ted he will make
fifty hhds OF tobacco and four hundred and
hfry barrels OF corn his flock of pure bred
cotswold sheep are the finest we ever saw. We
next visited the canning factory of Mr.. Thomas
Clagett of Weston, aud were most cordially
received by that gentleman. Mr.. Clagett in
formed US that he had one hundred and fifty
acres in sweet corn and when in full blast he
worked one hundred and City hands and can
ned ten thousand cans per day Every thing
moves with clock work precision. Mr.. {. be-
lieves cleanliness is next TO godliness, and
the thorough manner in which every thing is
done insures him q ready market for his goods.
Wednesday we accompanied the Messrs. Chew
home for a few days stay, at "EIlerslie" the
hospitable residence of Judge Chew commands
beautiful view OF Patuxant river. The b. K
p. r. R., passes directly through the place and
all produce is shipped at Chew's Crossing,
which is a quar- of a mile from the house
the Judge has one hundred and fifty thousand
hills of tobacco in cultivation and estimates
his yield of corn at three hundred and fifty
barrels from thirty. five acres. To say we lost
oar heart with the charming young ladies of
Upper Marlboro would be but paving them a
feeble compliment Had we not over-s,ay-
ed our time this communication would
have reached you in time for publication last
week. We can truly say we never enjoyed
ourself so msch in so short time. and think
the people of Upper Marlboro deserve the
palm for being the most hospitable in the
world. Thanking you Mr.. Editor for your
kii indulgence, We remain
Very truly yours.

Vegetation Extraordinary.
On last Monday Mr.. VIM. Mex Burroughs
left at our Office four tomatoes and four sweet
potatoes which surpass any thing that has ever
before come under notice in the way of these
vegetables. The potatoes especially are remark
ably fine and as large as a medium sized pump
kin and each one will weigh not less than FIVE
pounds, and for small family one would serve
as an ample meal. The tomatoes will weigh
from one and half to three pounds and the
eight vegetables filled to overlooking q large
sized market basket. They are the product OF
Mrs. Burroughs's garden, in Cobb Neck, and
proves the care and attention that that lady
devotes to her vegetable products. AT our COM
ing agricultural fair (ahem) if Mrs. Burroughs
can exhibit similar productions we predict that
she will take FIRST premium. We have dined oH
these vegetables an assure the lady that they
were as excellent and palatable as they we're
ex,raordinnry in sized.
