John C. Willet and Edward II. Howard,
Baltimore drummers, We're in Charles county
some time ago and in need of a team. They
hired two horses and a buoy from Mr.. ThAd-
deus Mudd to travel about forty miles. W hen
the horses were returned one died, and the
other, it is alleged, was much injured Mr..
Mudd entered suit for $500 damn ges claiming
that the horses were overdriven. The defend
ants say the animals were carefully driven
The suit came up Tuesday in the Superior
Court before Judge Stewart, but was not con
Guided Messrs. A. II. Robertson and Sydney
E. Mudd appeared for the plaintiff and B!a ks-
tone and Blackstone for the defense Day.
This suit was decided on W ednesday in favor
of The cefendents and against Mr. Mudd, who
thereby looses his horses and the costs in the
case. Our livery men should in the future re-
quire some guarantee from strangers that iheil
horses will receive proper treatment when or

A Marshal of the United Statet
whose baili~ick comprehends an i'm.
portant Southern State, tells story OF
a seizure recently made under the
revenue laws that embraced four kegs
of whiskey and one keg of water. When
the usual notice was published for the
owners of the property to come forward
and defend the libel proceedings there
was prompt response so far as the
whisky was concerned, but the unfOr.
tunate runlet of aqua pura could fnd
no one to put in an appearance on its
behalf. The spirits were rescued from
the clutches of the paw, and while the
Judge was filling out the order to re-.
store it to It's owners the Marshall spoke
up and said: "This settles the whisky
case all right, your Honor, bu. what am
do do with this keg of waterH "Sell
it," responded the Judge briefly, as he
banded over the authority to dispose of
this also. "But Judge, who in the
thunder do you suppose l can find In

Judge. "You go ahead, do your duty,

took il into bis head that he could
shorter the way by crossing river
whose banks he knew very Well. How
ever, he missed the right ford, and

tipued to rage, but at length We de-

wsrds il, and found myself outside q
ct uch, whence the light proceeded.
The door was open. Sledges were wait

standing in the porch. One of them
called to me, This way, l got out OF

o! tie people in the porch said:
"sIn the name of Heaven, what has

"Out of the church rushed, before
the astonished priest and the bridal
party had time to think of arresting my
fight. l jumped into the sledge, and
soon left all pursuit behind"
And" said Mari, "did you ever as
certain what became of that poor wo.
man?'
"Never. did not know the name

"No, sir; sit right down, sit right

"Farming?"

"Yes; brou hit up hundred head oil

And so the conversation ran on until
lust before the train reached Mendoza,
and the two old farmers were right
well acquainted. Presently another
man who looked like merchant came
I'D and was surprised to see one OF the
old farmers.

making so much trouble.
"Well," softly said the other farmer,

added: "if your partner hadn't come
