A LYek Time.

4 Lve!y Time.
Last Saturday night Mr.. Sa'nuei
Muck, who perhaps had on a drop
too much, engaged in quarrel with
Mr.. Tom Garrison OH the Entier Hotel
corner. The alteration assumed
such proportions that Town Sergeant
Ar .ur felt compelled to arrest the
former Young man. Sam. who felt as
if he could clean out the town, very
foolishly resisted the officer. Indeed
he SO emphaticaDy declined TO go 10
iail that four men and II pair OF hand
cuffs were necessary to land him In
the jug. But they got him there
lust the same. The same night Mayor
Humrickhouse took DR.. Butler TO the
iail TO dress sundry wounds that
Samuel had received, and the prisoner
took the opportunity 10 make his es-
cape. At this point tie State TOOK up
the case. and, a warrant being placed
in Col. Morgan's hands, he arrested
Muck on Monday. He was given
hearing before Squire Rentch, VINO
held him for the grand jury in the
sum OF 500 bail, which was furnished.
In cidentally it may be observed
that of late there has been a great
deal OF lawlessness in this town,
which should be summary ended.
We hope the officers may continue 10
do their duty, and that they may be
upheld by all good citizens.

Kanted-A Bridge.

Hdnfeo-A 6ro9e
The loss of the bridge across the
Potomac river at Shepherdstown is
not only great Inconvenience to the
travelling public but is serious blow
to the interest of this community.
Ferryboats are away behind the
times, and they fail to meet the re-
quirements of these days. The ferry
boat at this place is useless when the
river happens to raise foot or so
above the normal stage, and no mat
ter how badly travellers may desire to
cross from one side to another they
are unable to do so. The people Of
both counties feel the loss of the
bridge very greatly, and hope that
the Maryland and Virginia Bridge
Company may in the near future see
its way clear to rebuild on the old
piers. By all means, if it is possible
to do it, new bridge should be con-
structed before winter sets in.
