Feet to be Proud OF.

Miss Fannie Mills, Of Sandusky, Ohio, is a
Young woman who has positive genius for
feet, and possesses the high honor OF wearing
the largest shoe 10 the country, her number be-
ing twenty mines. Her shoes have always been
made to order, and until recently IN her own
State, but now that Miss Fannie is old enough
to 60 into society, her father has had hand
some pair of kid tops manufactured in this city,
and the shoemaker who constructed them has
themon exhibition in his show window on John
street, where they attract great attention and
elicit many expressions of admiration. The
material of which the shoes are made would
have been sufficient to manufacture eight pair
of ordinary ladies' shoes. The soles are cork,
and the shoes are button tops. The length
from stem 10 stern is 10 inches and the breadth
of beam is j inches. The waist OF the shoes
is Isl inches, the inStep measurement 10! inches
and the ball 10 inches. The top of the shoe,
which come, up to the calf of the leg, measures
209 inches in circumference. The heels are 50
inches wide and i i! inches long. -Four channels
skins were used to line the shoes, and they cost
Mr.. Mills S45, besides the freight charges to
Saudusky MIR. Mills is a wel-to do farmer,
and Miss Fannie is pretty blonde, weighing
loo pounds, and of ordinary height.-Netc

Should be Explained.

On the 10th of June last, Justice E. L..
Smoot of this county committed one Andrew
Gregory to the MARYLAND House of Correction
for II months on the charge Of being a vagrant
Gregory was, in accordance with his sentence
duly delivered by the sheriff into the custod,
of the superintendent of the House of Correction
with his sentence and WAS by :hat official re.
ceived. On Friday last Justice Smoot was sur
prised by having the same man knock at his
Office door and request to be sent 10 the Aims
House Of this county The Justice Intercepted
the man as to how he escaped from the House
OF Correction and was Informed that he was
only kept there one night and was discharged
on the following day by the keeper of the insti-
tuition The Justice had no authority, OF course,
to send him to the Aims House, and so Andrew
pursued the even tenor of his way.
Now, Judge Smoot wants to know by What
authority the keeper of the House of Correction
turned this man out without judge or jury.
He thinks the majesty of the law aud the dig
nifty of his co"rt have been insulted and he is
wroth Tbs TINES jlins in this inquiry and.
in behalf of the sovereign people, would like to
have some information as TO hew things are
done at this institution supported by the tax
PAYERS Snd controlled by the State authorities
The power Of the justice to commit such per
sons TO that Institution is clear. 1t is found in
section l07 of article IA of the revised Code,
which says sit shall be the duty Of any Justice
of the peace Of this State to cause to be arrested
and on due proof 10 commit any vagrsat
habitualy disorderly person mot iusane) to
said House of Correction for period of not
and on second or subsequent commitment Of
the same person for any Of the said causes, he
or she, in the discretion of the justice may be
sentenced to double the term Of the first com
mitment." Now we do not know whether
Andrew was committed fo- first or second
offense and cons qrentiy whether the justice
exceeded his jYridiction in committing hi a for
II months bat, however thi. may be, il seems
clear that the keeper of the House of Correction
had no right TO discharge M-. Gregory, after
he had once been regularly committed, with
out due process of law. The keeper of the
House of Correcto is not generally understood

Henry Oliver, Arthur Greer and Miss Drucie
Bigges, started from the warehouse, in Port
Tobacco creek. to go to Chapel Point, and
when opposite Fourth Point heavy gale
struck the vessel and capsized her throwing the
whole party into the water. The boat fortu-
nately did not drift off and all were enabled TO
catch on to her and so escape with nothing
more than good ducking Capt. Twiford,
who by the way was the only member of the
party able 10 swim, was the first to reach the
boat and the rest say when he had esconsed
himself in safe position his cries to Mr.. Oliver
to save the lady were most heart rendering, and
had the effect of urging Henry to heroic efforts
and the ultimate salvation of Miss Biggs. from
what might have been watery grave.

Slight Fire.

Some person or persons on last Saturday
evening set FIRE to the fencing on both sides of
the road bordering on the farm of the late Mr..
John Wise, and it was entirely consumed for
distance of hundred yards or more. After the
FIRE had been started ii worked around the
fencing and got to some dry bush on Mr.. c. E.
lannon's farm and the blaze arising therefrom
was very great. and caused for time consider
able CONSERVATION among the residents of that
section, as for awhile it looked rs though
general conhagraiion might occur from the in
cendiary or thoug htless act. The fire burnt
itself out in time, however, without doing any
great or serious damage save to the fencing
above mentioned IF this was deliberate act
on the part of a miscreant with the intent Of
doing harm go pains should be spared 10 find
him or them out and give them the full benefit
of the punishment the law might inflict. Some
persons with whom we have spoken, however,
are of the impression the fire was Of accidental
origin, hui, if that be true it was the most
peculiar accident we have ever heard of, for
how IA person could accidentally set FIRE to
fencing on both sides of a thirty foot road is
beyond our ''ken."
