F. Wood was best in the second round.
There has been a couple focks of wild
geese feeding along the Monocacy bottoms,
between what is generally called Stull's ford
ing and Millers bridge, for several days.
Several ofour sportsmen have been trying
their skill in bringing them down but thus
far, none have succeeded, except one. Mr.
Raymond Long on last Thursday evening
saw a flock of nine, circle around and light
on large pond down in the bottom He
took his brcech loader single barrel, and
crawled along through the bushes, until he
got within eighty or ninety yards from them,
and then let fly at them killing one, and
badly crippling another. 1t being late in
the evening, he did not follow them or he
might have gotten the crippled one. Mr.. l..
brought the head and feet up to the store to
show them, also to prove to the credulous
that he actually did get the goose.

her son John having rented farm across the

There is a possibility of Samuel j. Beitler
selling his farm this spring yet, as there IS a
couple of men now bidding for it, We learn
that there is only S7s cents per acre between
him and Mr. Andrew Hankey. Also Geo.
Ogle has been viewing the property with the
intention of purchasing it for one Of his sons.

DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.-On Monday

mother of Mr.. VIM. Lidic and Mrs Cyrus
Cover of this place died at the advanced age
of ninety-three years, wanting but several
weeks. The deceased was woman of re-
markable vitality as up until the time of her

The Pennsylvania railroad has adopted a
rule requiring employees to pay their debts
or leave the service of the company. Time
was when such rule on the Western Mary
land would have been desirable, but we
doubt if there is road in America to-day,
whose employees have as good record as
that now enjoyed by those Of the Western
Maryland. With an exception here and
there, the present management Of the road
appears to have attracted to and held in its
employ, only such as are an honor to a man
agcment, in itself excellent and honorable.
GRAND jury REpoRr.-The grand jury
for the February term of the circuit court
adjourned on Saturday last after session OF

cradle business was transacted as will be

cradle importance and many of misdemcan-
ors They have also dismissed thirteen cases
and have examined one hundred and sixty
witnesses.
In compliance with the law they have WIS.,
tied the Jail of the county and Montevuc
Hospital, both of which institutions, they
are pleased to state were found in excellent
condition, and the inmates comfortable and
well cared for. They found the officers OF
both institutions accommodating and hospi-
table, while the management gave proof OF
the efficiency Of those i'll control.
In the Jail they found sixty-tive prisoners,
of these twelve awaiting the action of your
honorable court and the remainder serving
out the sentences for their respective often
ses.
At Montevue Hospital they found one
hundred and ninety seven inmates. OF these
there are one hundred and forty white and
fifty seven black OF the whites seven are

port that from the investigation made by

THE FREDERICK INDEMNITY.-While the
subject of the payment of Fredericks en-.
forced loan to Early is before the Legisla-
ture, we would suggest to the people OF
Frederick that Maryland never paid her
share of the direct tax of Twenty Millions
levied by the General Government upon the
states in 1861, or certainly not all of it, If
this he the case and as that money would
have been used against the rebellion, the
State could very readily pay Frederick'a
claim and still get off better than some 9th
crs of the border States.
