a New Era im the Maryland Central.
Baltimore Sun.

Mr.. Vim. Gilmor has purchased all of the in.
terests OF MIR. Samuel Spencer, president of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, In the
Maryland Central Railroad, and this purchase,
II is understood, eliminates the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroads interests in the MARYLAND Cen
trail. AS a natural consequence of this pur-
chase, II petition was filed at Towsontown by
Mr. John H. Cowen, from Mr.. Spencer, asking
to be relieved from the rcceivership of the
Maryland Central Road, to which he was ap-
pointed by order of the court, January ~, 1856,
rs co-rccever with Mr. VIM Gimor. Judge
Fowler passed an order relieving Mr. Spencer
MS requested, and appointed VIM. GilmOr as
sole receiver, with all the powers, rights and
duties vested in the two receivers, relieving MIR.
Spencer and his sureties from all obligations,
claims and demands against him or them arts,
ing anyway out OF such receivership, and requir-
ing Mr. Spencer to deliver to Mr.. GiImor all
properties, papers and effects of every kind be-
longing to the company which have come into
his possession as such receiver. Foreclosure
proceedings are now pending, bonds having
been deposited with the Mercantile Trust
Company for the sale of the road, which will
probably take place on the LIST of November
next. A President and beard of directors will
afterwards be elected.
The road, il is confidently expected, will
sooner or later be converted into broad.gauge,
thereby greatly increasing its value to Hartford
and Baltimore counties.

SINGULAR vERDIoTs.N
Ridiculous Results of the DeIIberatioI
of Some Cnroners' Lnries.

/
| of Some Coroners' Juries.
The duties of those who serve on
coroners' juries do not ordinarily sug-
gest any thing very funny, and yet
some laughable results come from their
work, particularly if they do not ex-
actly understand what is expected Of
| them.
An amusing story is told of verdict
brought in by Western jury impan-
eled TO inquire into the cause of the
death of man supposed to have com
mitted suicide. The verdict was brief
and to the point, the foreman saying
simply:
I'VE, the jury, find the deceased
guilty as charged"
Another jury examined great many
witnesses in the case of man run
over by railroad engine. The ver-
dict was:
I'VE find him to have come to his
death by being cut in two by railroad
engine, whereby he could not breathe,
hence he choked to death"
A coroner's jury in the backwoods of
Missouri heard all the evidence in the
case OF a man killed by runaway
team, and brought in the following
verdict:
"The jury finds the dead deceased to
have come to his death at the hands of
a runaway team, the horses thereof be-
ing blameless, they being frightened
by dog,n .. = .
1t is told of an old German that he
sat stolidly and stupidity on coroner's
jury and listened to all the evidence,
after which he walked over toward the
corpse with some degree of curiosity.
Lifting the cloth he started back,
turned to the other jurymen in amaze
ment and alright, and cried out:
mime Gott, shentlemen, dot man ish
dead.n DT ~slNI
A jury in a Missouri rural COM
munity deliberated three hours over
the corpse of woman burned by the
explosion of kerosene lamp. The
following verdict was then announced
in writing:
"ReSolred, that the diseased was
burnt to deth. The joory."
A man, supposed to be a tramp, was
found dead in the woods, out West. A
jury inquired into the cause of his
death, and reported as follows
"The jury does not find that the dead
man has been foully dealt with, and is
of the opinion that he died simply be-
cause his time had come and there was
no getting out OF it."-Detro1 Free

ABOUT HOSPITALITY.
The Three Most Common Forms rrevalIlI
In Our Country.

The Three Most Common Forms Prevailing
in Our Country.
On n stormy evening last December,
the most fashionable square in one of
our great cities was crowded with car
riages. Mrs. Blank, leader of So
ciety, was holding weekly reception.
Her stately dwelling was thrown open
and blazing with light, masses of cost
ly flowers lined the corridors, the
orchestra was the best that could be
procured in the city, the banquet, as
usual, was magnificent. Mrs. Blank
had returned from Europe in the au-
tumn, for brief visit OF few months;
She was going back in the spring. She
knew scarcely any of her guests, even
by sight, and as they came up in an
endless procession, bowed and passed
she felt as If she were playing n part
in some wearisome pantomime. What
did these people care for her or she for
themp
A few blocks from the one in which
her house stood, was quiet, modest
dwelling, whose windows also threw
welcoming CLEAN out into the night,
Inside, by a blazing fire, sat a matron-
ly woman and u gray-haired man with
u cheerful, benignant face. 1t was an
old minister and his wife. There were
guests always coming and going, who
sat for an hour beside the pleasant fire,
partook OF some simple fare, told their
tidings or their thoughts and plans to
their old friends, received some kindly
word Of cheer and counsel, and passed
on their way strengthened and helped,
Down in n dark alley in the same
city, nameless woman had opened u
room that winter, as II refuge for the
homeless. 1t was clean, warm, we'll
lighted. There was hot soup, strong
md nourishing coffee, and thick, gem
erous slices of bread and butter. There
came TO il every night a crowd of poor,
friendless creatures, who had tasted no
other food that day. No other claim
to its comfort was necessary than want.
None of those who were fed and
warmed by her bounty knew her name;
she never was gratilied by the sight of
their pleased, happier faces. She was
an invalid confined to one room for
years, and the money spent for them
was earned by her own labor.
These are the three most common
forms of hospitality. Which is

Making Petroleum Solid.

Experiments are still being made
under the direction OF the Russian
Government, with the view of finding
n process, at once practical as well as
desirable on the score Of economy and
cleanliness, of solidifying the petroleum
used as fuel. According TO the report
made by DR.. Kaufman, who has had
the principal charge Of these experi-
ments, a successful method OF accom-
plishing the desired result consists
simply in heating the oil, and after
ward adding from one TO three per
cent. of soap. The latter dissolves in
the oil, and the liquid on cooling forms
amass having the appearance of CO
ment and the hardness of compact tall
low. The product is hard to light,
burns slowly and without smoke, but
develops much heat, and leaves about
tMo per cent. of a hard, black residu-

Captain Charles d. Wheat, who
served in the Forty-ninth Virginia of

the question as to how he stood the

was pride and fear of being called n

Iwent all through the fighting till the
close OF the war, and never went into

MILLIONS MARRIAGE.
J Matrimonial Blunder Made by tn,
Great English Poet.

dreat English Poet.
Take the case OF John Milton. In that
time OF the year Gt was the year 1S43)
when II young mans fancy turns 10
thoughts Of love tho poet took II sud
den journey into the country, 'nobody
about him certainly knowing the rea-
son. or that it was any moro than a
journey Of recreation.m He was ab-
sent for about month, and when he
returned he brought back wife with
him. Her name was Mary, eldest
daughter Of Richard Powell, Esq, j.
+. for the County of Oxford. Tho
house OF this gentleman, who was q
Koyalist, was conducted with such care
less hospitality that he could not live
within his income, which was u fair
one, and had borrowed money from
among other persons-the Millions. fa-
ther and sons.
There is no evidence that the bride
was handsome, but she had youth and
country freshness; her "unliveliness
aud natural sloth, unfit for converse
tion," passed rs "the bashful muteness
OF virgin;' and if doubt intruded
that he was being too hasty, Milton
may have thought that girl of seven
teen could be nodded at pleasure. He
was undeceivcd. however, even before
the honeymoon had ended. He found
that he had mated himself to IA clod of
earth, who not only was not now, but
had not the capacity OF becoming,
helpmeet for him. He ought to have
known better than, with his Puritanical,
connections, TO have taken to wife u
daughter OF Cavalier house, TO have
brought her from n registering home to
the philosophical retirement of
recluse student, and to have looked for
sympathy and response for his specula-
tions from an uneducated and frivolous
girl.
Still the breach did not come from
the husbands side, The young Mrs.
Milton not only wished it, but melted
her family TO write and beg that she
might be allowed to go home TO stay
the remainder of the summer.
To this Milton agreed, stipulat-
ing, however, that she should
return ut Michaelmas She did
not do so for two years, which SO
enraged her husband that he composed
his four pamphlets on the subject of
divorce. Different reasons have been
assigned for the surrender Of the young
wife 10 nor husband. The Royal cause
