The pistol shots heard about
O'Clock Sunday morning last, were
fired by officer O'Neal. While on
his rounds he heard an unusual noise
in the alley in the rear of the Post
Office, and supposing that something
was wrong, made a quiet and careful
examination of the premises. He
failed to discover anything, and
came out on the main street and
stopped to listen. 1t was very dark
and after waiting few moments he
heard someone coming out of the al
ley. He moved towards the man and
ordered him to stop, but he took to
his heels instanter and officer O'Neal
after him. In the race the officer fir
ed three shots, couple of them in
the air, to brighten the fellow. He
finally caught him and he proved to
be Bill Blue, colored. The officer be.
ing satisfied that he had only been
seeking place to sleep in the stable,
released him.

Mr.. w. S. HERBERT, Of Hagers-
town, was here on Thursday talking
up the Hagerstown Carnival, to be
held on the 22nd. He billed the
town and talked the matter up fully
with our citizens, and the prospect
is fair for large attendance from
here on that day. Mr.. Herbert is a
live business man, and never does
anything in halfway manner.
