Chcsapeake and Ohio Canal

ChCSupeakc anu OuiO SH""
The monthly meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
was held in Baltimore last Thursday. The
resignation of Mr.. Benjamin Fawcett, Of
Montgomery county, clerk and treasurer,
who has been connected with the canal
for about twelve years, was presented,
and also the resignation of Mr.. George
Smith, of Howard county, engineer.
These were accepted, to take effect OCT.
LIST. Mr.. Stephen Gambrill, general SUI
perintendent and paymaster, will succeed
Mr.. Fawcctt as clerk and treasurer, and
will continue also as paymaster. lhe
salary is s2,l00. President Smith will
take upon himself the duties of general
superintendent without additional pay to
his So 900 salary. The position of engi-
neer was abolished. The salary of general
superintendent, $4,000, and of the engi-
neer, who had 5000, are cut off the expense
accounts by the new arrangement. The
working force of the canal has been re-
duced more than one-half under the order
of the board to that end, which went into
effect July |, and all salaries above $500
have been reduced 20 per cent or more. 1t
was stated that the force is now as small
as it is practicable to have it and operate
the canal ut all, but the condition of the
business makes this retrenchment neGcS-
sary. The canal is in good working order
and coal shipments are increasing.

A Bold Transnction.-Last Friday,

ABoId Ira Friday,
two colorcd men, driving thirty-three
heal of sheep, applied to the ferryman at
Wiliamsport for transportation across the
Potomac from the West Virginia side.
Being without the means to pay for their
passage they contracted to give the ferry
man one of the sheep to be landed safely
on the other Shore" The bargain was
fulfilled, and the colored men drove their
flock away. They next appeared before
Messrs. c.. A. Potts and William Kemp,
Williamsport District, and striking upon
terms, sold the sheep to these gentlemen,
receiving in exchange the ready cash.
This was the last thought of the matter
until later in the day, when four men
from West Virginia, representing local
vigilance committee, arrived at Williams
port and stated that .hey were in search
of these sheep, that had been stolen from
the Portcrfeld farm, few miles from
that place, in Berkeley county. They e1-
perienced no difficulty in tracing and re-
claiming the stolen property. 1t appears
that the colored men had taken the sheep
from The field during the previous night
and by series Of adroit maneuvers cue
ceeded in directing the pursuers in an OPP
positc direction, toward the mountain
skirting the western part of the county.
Whilo search was being made for the
stolen property, It was being disposed of
to Messrs. Potts and Kemp, rs stated, who
made the purchase without suspecting
any irregularity in the transaction. The
colored men were traced to Hagerstown,
and from there into Pennsylvania, but, SO
far as heard, they have succeeded in avoid
ing arrest. The transaction is regarded
as one of the boldcst on record in that To-
cality.-HdgerStocn Globe.

A Simple Fly Trap.-A writer in an

A Simple Fly lrap'-A writer III an
English magazine, describing the reptiles
and insects which infest India and make
life miserable there, tells of the following
simple way in which the inhabitants rid
themselves of the ordinary house fly,
which is there, in proportion to this coun-
try, in ratio of 1000 to /. Water Is
poured into bottle to the depth Of an inch
or two, and floated over with little oil.
The inside Of the mouth is then moistcned
with some syrup or preserves, and the
bottle placed at the disposal of the flies.
These keep clustering over the mouth and
dropping in, each fly, the moment it
touches the oil, sinking through and get
ting drowned; and as the flies accumulate
the water keeps rising till tho bottle may
become filled with them nearly to the
neck.
