An Interesting Case.-A case of considera-
Bile interest, which was removed from the Circuit
Court of Baltimore county to Howard county, was
tried at Ellicott City last week. 1t was suit to
recover $4,000 damages for malicious prosecution,
the plaintiff being August Crouch, by his next
friend Paul Sturn, and the defendant Saml. N.
Hyde, Of Long Green Valley, Baltimore county.
The testimony on part of plaintiff went to show
that in April, 1882, Paul Sturn and wife and
August Greuch, Sturn's stepson, went to live on
the farm of Mr.. Hyde, in Hartford county that
they were to have S25 per month and house rent,
equivalent to S., until December that August
Mr.. Hyde had them arrested, without cause, on
peace warrant and confined in Jail six weeks, they
being unable to give security until that time.
The testimony in behalf of the defendant in
substance was that the family were to be allowed
the use of the whole house until canning season
commenced, and then were to have only one room,
so that the other employees could occupy the re-
mander of the house. That on the 18th of Au-
gust, when the other employees arrived, they, &C.

time threatening violence. Mr.. Hyde, thereupon,
by advice of counsel, caused the arrest.
The Jury rendered verdict against Mr.. Hyde
for 50, 500 damages. Messrs. Richard Grason &
Son, of Towsontown, represented the plaintiffs.

- OW6lllDS O6SIrOy0u ny Elr0.-Ine HE
residence of Mr. j. Park Wiley, agent of M. c.
railroad at this place, located at Slate Hill, two
miles above Delta, York county, was destrOye
by fire about one o'clock on Saturday morning of
last week. Mr.. Wiley's family had quite recently
removed from Towsontown back to their old home
at Slate Hill, and now they are not only rendered
homeless but, in addition, nearly all their furni
ture, together with their bed clothing and wearing
apparel have been burned. The family retired
at q late hour, and Mrs. Wiley, who was complain
ing, was alarmed several times by hearing an
unusual noise. Finally, upon opening door
leading into hall, she was Mortified to find the
upper story of the house in blaze. She quickly
alarmed her daughters and they were obliged to
beat such hasty retreat that they were only able
TO the clothing they had worn the day before.
Only few articles of furniture were gotten out
from the lower story of the house, and these were
saved through the heroic efforts of Miss Mary
Wiley, who worked courageously until the neigh
bors arrived. The fire originated near the roof
and is thought to have been caused by defective
fuc. Mr.. Wiley was in Towsontown at the time
and no one but the ladies of the family were in
the house. The building was quite an imposing
one, having been put up by Mr.. Wiley, just after
the war, at cost Of about $4,000. 1t was in
sured in the Continental Company, of Hartford,
Conn.,, for $4,000, but there was no insurance on
the contents. Mr. Wiley's many friends here
deeply sympathize with him in the loss he has
sustained.
Moving Day.-An exchange suggests that
their is lots of fun in moving, and says further
"For genuine, unadulterated mirth, commend
to the man who moves his household effects to
new place on the LIST of April. His silvery, rip
ping laugh can be heard for eighteen blocks as
he seizes up the remains of his best Mattress as it
fops of the last load into the mud puddle, and
nothing can equal his convulsive shouts as he
takes the last fond look at the gold framed mirror
before the kitchen stove crushed in its gittering
face, on account of past reflections. The way the
old stove-pipe fits into the hole in the wall of the
new kitchen charms him, and the absence of
front gate is the for self congratulation. He
never finds fault with anything and does not feel
like valloping his new landlord because the fam
neighbors, who wonder if he means to move away
again during the nighttime like the other tenant
before him. He dearly loves his new home, and
when, after the day is ended, and he lies down
between the doughtray and the coal scuttle, with
nothing but tallow dip to guide him to bed, the
calm, peaceful reflections crowd his brain like the
fast-piling zephyrs of beautiful summer day, as
he sleeps and dreams of heaven of rest beyond.
Who wouldn't move, when there's SO much fun
in it ?"
