X A MERCHANTS FAlLURE.-The announce
ment last week of the failure of Mr.. Jesse An
dcrs, one of our oldest and best known mer-
chants, created quite sensation. Ofcourse
there were some who knew all about it, lust
what they expected, &c. but to the majority
ofpeople it was a genuine surprise, Mr. An
ders' liabilities are placed at $50, 800 he owns
property that cost over $4,000; whether it
dcbtedness is an open question. His friends
claim that it will. David Rinehart, Esq. ;
of this place, and Mr.. c. f. Saylor, of Johns
vile, have been appointed trustees for the es
tate, and Judge Hayden, of Westminster, is
constellation Bridge Index.
A KIND WORD DUE.-The people of
Graceham and Creagerstown have no present
occasion to 60 away from home to be accom-

reason, want in the line store goods Mr..
VIM. l. Armacost in the former and Messrs
are certainly well prepared to satisfy their
PEG pie. We have seen their stock of goods
within the past ten days and speak, not for
the sake of writing up, their business, but
because we know that what we say is true
and due them. 1t is not our business to
speak of prices, simply because we d. not
know them, nor those Of others; the reader
mj st fl I'd out for himself, but it is reason
able to suppose that there can be little or no
did frence amongst merchants generally.

WANTS ADEMoNsTRATIoN.-In the course
ola month, or less, the water mains will
reach Emmitsburg and The Chronicle very
properly wants jubilatlon. 1t will be an
event worthy of prominent recognition and
one the like of which, in towns Of less than
one thousand population, are rare There
is not one in one thousand towns of like cx-
tent that could attempt SO considerable an
undertaking and Emmitsburg will have the
best of reasons for indulging in a display of
honorable pride at the completion of her
permanent water supply.
Visions of the electric hight and town
hall have also been floating before the minds
eye of the editor and he has determined to
give the "car of progress" a determined
