Mr.. Rudolph Charles and Daniel
Sterling, two law abiding citizens of
the Clearspring district, were arrested
on warrants sworn out by John T..
Lefever, of Berkeley county, w. Va,
for trespassing on what he claimed to
be his mothers land known as an
island in the Potomac river. The
case was heard before Justice James
E. Hawken, of this place, on Satur-
day last. Attorney Norman B. Scott
of Hagerstown, appearing for the
prisoners. The grounds for the ar
rests were based on the fact that these
gentlemen in company with several
Others had erected fish-pot dam in
the Potomac river, and that the dam
reached to the island in the river
claimed by the Lefeyers. and that
the parties had trespassed upon this
land in building said dam. The JUS
tice after hearing the evidence dis
missed the case on the grounds that
in his Judgment the island was dis
puted grounds and not the property
of the Lefevers, and therefore there
was no trespass.-Leader.

las JrulSm and my entire argument
upon THIS subject is well illustrated by a
story told OF Col Hoskins. a very we'll
known English army officer. During our
clvu war hs was stationed at Nassau in the
bananas, which was then the coaling
station OF the confederate cruisers and
blockads runners. The garrison there was
notably wet one. that being the technical
army term for a mess noted for Its hard
orlnklng proclivities. At intervals a gun
boat would run down the coast and
then there would be famous bouts
at the table between its officers
and those of the Nassau garrison. In
these contests of the bottle Col. Hoskins
was noted as the invariable conqueror of
all. HIS power of outstanding the effect
OF alcoholic drinks was absolutely amazing
When he had nearly every fellow officer
under the table he would select the least
drunken man of the party and invite him
to his room. There he would fill his pipe
with Cavendlsh tobacco and brew Jamaica
rum punches until daybreak The LIQUOR
did not appear to have the slightest effect
upon him, but bear in mind he never drank
drop except during and after dinner
During the latter part Of the war Col
Hosklns made visit to New York and
staid at the old New York hotel. After re-
naming here some time he returned to
Nassau Later the garrison there was
visited by Col Washington, an officer in
the Union army, who, upon being seated at
the mess table, recognized Hoskins as an
officer he had met in New York, and COM
menting upon the fact to the companion by
his side, he said: The boys in New York
were little too lively for the colonel; he
did not 60 to bed sober single night while
he was there The officer looked incredu-
lous, and laughingly repeated the tale to
the company and appealed to them il any
credence could be placed in it. Loud sug-
gestions that it must be a case of mistaken
Identity were interrupted by Col. Roskns
exclaimlng, The gentleman has told simply
the truth. The trouble with me in New
York was that those COMPOUNDED yankees
drink between drinks. We drink at our
dinner table, and that is an end of it, but
those yankee fellows begin pouring those
things they call cocktails into you before
you are out OF bed, and how they manage
