LIZ. NeazeX'S Denarture.

The Baltimore Sun is authority for the
statement that Mr.. l. Parker Neazey, the
late postmaster of Baltimore, has closed
his Office and left that city. In its issue
Of Tuesday it states that "Mr. |. Parker
Neazey, upon whom rule was laid by
tho Supreme Bench of Baltimore City
October -, 1856, to show cause on or
before October 81, 1856, why he should
not be stricken from the roll of attorneys
OF the Baltimore bar, has closed his law
o.Iic9 at 30 IL Lexington street and loft
the city. His wife and three children
are living with her father, Mr.. Thomas
S. Gaddess. The order of the Supreme
Bench was made ON the admission BY
Mr.. Neazey that he had applied to his
own use So, 900, proceeds of the sale OF
the business houses Nos. ia2 and 1914 w.
Baltimore street, near St. Paul street,
rs Trustee under decree of the Circuit
Court in the case of Robert Maclay Bull
vs.. George W. Ball and others. Mr..
Ncazey flied his answer October 16, again
admitting the breach of trust, attribut-
ing it to his confused state of mind cauS-
ed by financial embarrassments, and
making the point that no attorney had
ever been disbarred for breach OF trust.
No action has been taken in the matter
by the Supreme Beuch.''

Railroad Crossings to be Guarded

The legislature at its last session passed a
local law for Cecil county requiring the T..
w. X b. Railroad Company 10 guard GER
tain dangerous crossings and giving the
county commissioners the power to compel
railroad companies to place vatchnen at
any or every place where railroad crosses
a road, street or avenue. Petitions were
presented to the commissioners some time
since tDr the commissioners to compel the
p. w. X y. Railroad Company TO guard the
following crossings which were claimed to
be dangerous to travellers: from North East
to Mechanics Valley; from Charlestown to
North + tsi: from C5ariestowu to Principle
| Furnace; from the Chestnut Hill road to
the Wilmington turnpike. The three first
named are iii the Fifth and the last in the
Third district. The COUNSEL for the com
pauy argued before the board some time
ago against the granting Of the petitioners.
Last Tuesday the commissioners decided to
compel the railroad company to place
watcbmrn at each Of the crossingsfo which
! they were requested.
