ReCaptured = Alp

Recaptured.-- AIpheus BonneIl, the
thief who stole a horse from Mr.. William
Riggs, has been recaptured and was returned
to Jail here on Tuesday morning last Just
week elapsed between his escape from Jail
and his return. He was captured in the
mountains near Snickersville, Va, after
long chase, by Mr.. J W. Magarrity, who
received $50 as his compensation. Bonnel
says he cut the iron bar through in six
hours, and obtained the knife from Martin
Kline, who is in Jail on the charge Of as
saut. He admits taking Mr.. Daniel Kraft's
horse and riding it. The bar in the Jail
window, through which the prisoners es-
capped, upon examination is found TO be
nothing more than gas pipe filed with
some soft metal, perhaps lead

To the Citizens of Rockville.

At the suggestion of Rev. Mr.. Graham
and others, urge upon the Stockholders of
the Rockville Library Association of Mont
gomery county the importance of meeting
in the rooms of the Young Mems Christian
Association of this town, on Tuesday night,
the 9Th of March, at 7:30 o'clock, to take
into consideration the feasibility of reviving
its Circulating Library.
In 1869 this Association was duly incor-
porated, and for or years was in success
full operation. Daring this time it purchased
several hundred volumes of the best and
most instructive books | acted as Libra
rian for 2 or 3 years and know whereof
speak when | assert that the books were
eagerly sought after.
But owing to an unfortunate apathy on
the part of the stockholders not Of tie read,
ers the Library became, for all beneficial
purposes, Il thing Of the past, And as |
was unable to get Il meeting and my term
as Librarian had long since expired closed
the doors on the books so as to preserve
them until the resurrection day. These
books, together with number that can
doubtless be obtained from those who never
returned them, will afford splendid start
for the Library Association ii it can be
awakened after II Rip Van Wrinkle sleep of
II years,
The Young Mems Christian Association
OF this town, one of the most popular insti-
buttons ofthe day manifest great desire that
the community should have the advantages
of this Library, and doubtless the stock
holders of the Library Association could be
greatly increased, provided sufficient mum
Der of the original stockholders will meet,
as requested, and re-animate the Association.
Our town is sadly, almost disgraceiully,
deficient in the proper facilities for the men
tai improvement of our very worthy and
numerous young gentlemen and ladies. In
my opinion nothing can give more substan.
tal enjoyment and desirable finish or polish
to community than taste for reading
books of merit; and the facility for obtain
ing well selected books at n reasonable ex-
pense will most certainly cultivate this taste.
There are few people able to purchase all
the books they would like to read and many
not competent to properly select BY a
effort of capital and intelligence
a large Library can be obtained without
much individual outlay of money or effort.
Let us start the Library again. We owe
this much to the young folks of the town,
and don't forget that il innocent and whole
some amusements are not furnished, that
the active and restless temperaments Of the
young will find an outlet elsewhere. "rhe
sun do move" w. V. BouIc, JR

DEATHS

Columbia Broome, in the 9Th year of her
age.
For the third time have these fond parents
been called TO part with loved children !;
but blessed assurance, they are not dead
but have gone before for q little while to

pared that where he is they may be Also
Little Mela was noted for her lively, cheer
full disposition, and although for the past two
years she has been great sufferer with in
hammatory rheumatism, yet whenever free
from pain was one of the gayest of the gay,
and even just before her spirit took its flight
wished her little baby brother brought to
the bed, locked up at him, sweetly smiled
and went to her Saviour with the smile still
on her lips. In that home how sadly she
will be missed, God only knows. May He
be ever with them, comfort and console in
this their trying hour as He only can do.
