county commissioner several wears ago. and
sister of Hester Hess, Esq, of the Elkton
bar. She was in the fortieth year of her
age, and leaves two daughters aged six and
eight years. She was a lady of charming

Our ex Postmaster Mr.. A. l.. Barry had
quite an exciting time with "a burglar on
Tuesday night, He was awakened about
four o'clock in the night by noise near
his room, and had just about concluded that
it was Il cat when he saw a hand reaching
for his pants that were on a chair near his
bed. He Immediately jumped out of bed
and grappled with the man. They tusseled
all the way down stairs and into the alley
as far as the street, where the burglar freed
himself, and started up the street with Mr..
Is. after him clad only in night attire.
Finding he could not overtake the man, he
returned to his house. When the man
broke away he dropped his hat, shoes and
pistol at the foot of the alley. Mr.. Barry
says he knows his visitor was Il black man,
because he smelled him. The only things
missed were some eatables.

Judges and Congressman.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Herald wrote that journal from Cam
bridge last week, that Judges Robinson
and WicKes from the Second Judicial
Circuit, would be candidates for the
Democratic nomination for congress III
the first congressional district, and that
it was probable that Queen Anpe's wouli
give Judge Robinson its support; that
Judge Wickes would throw his support
to The former, in order that the latter
might succeed as Chief Judge that
Judge r )binson would have the vote of
Caroline ; that Dorchester was favorable
to Juig" RDbinson and that when Glib
sons friends saw that their favorite could
not succeed, the vote OF Talbot would be
thrown TO Judge Robinson, thus securing
for him the nomination Such an arrange
ment would give Judge Robinson eigh-
teen votes, two more than necessary to
nominate.
Tue Cent,eville Observer a Democrat
organ commenting on this announcement
say - MS is the Hi g. animation the
mary friends ofJudge Robinson through
out the district have that he is a can
didate for Congressional houors and i'll
fact we do lot believe that he is, the Her
aid correspondent to the contrary not
outstanding. If We read between the
lines" we think We can detect the Zine
Italian hand" of that astute politician
an clever gentle mat. Gen. Joseph B.
Seth, of Talbot county. See how it would
read. Judge Robinson, member of Con,
gress; Judge Wlckes, Chief Judge of the
Second Judicial Cilcuit Joseph B. Seth,
associate Judge of the Second Judicial
Circuit See.
Rather pretty isn't it.
But it won't work.
Why?
Because Judge Robinson is not a Call
didate, nor is Judge Wlckes These are
Sufficient reasons.
General Seth will have to wait another
opportunity before he eau accomplish his
object, if this his object be.''

Three Robinson Crusoes.

The steamer Zealandia brings news that
three castaways have been rescued by a
passing vessel from the Island OF San Ales-
sandro, on which desolate spot they mad
spent nearly four years. In October 1861
o Japanese vessel while making the passage
across the Sugaru straits was blown out OF
sight of land, and after tossing about for
eighty days, was thrown ashore on Inc
Island of San Alessandro. -Four OF the
passengers and crew patched up a junk ana
set sail, leaving behind three passengers
who refused to leave the isalnd. Inc cast
aways caught sea birds and ute fruit OF inc
few trees that grew on the island. A half-
pin and part of the works of a watch were
worked up into hooks and fishing tackle,
by means of which fish were caught ana
life was supported fo- nearly four years.

FREE Silver COINAGE.

A Mass Meeting at Cooper Union TO Asi-
tate the Question.
A mass meeting was held at Cooper
Union, New York city, under the auspices
of the committee appointed by the national
silver convention to agitate the question of
free coinage, etc. Gen. Curtis, of San
Francisco, had the meeting in charge, aud
ex-Postmaster- General James was selected
chairman. Many prominent New Workers
were on the platform. Gen. Warner, of
Ohio, and ex. Congressman Fitch, of Ne
vada, were.the principal speakers. at one
portion of Fitch's speech some one in the
audience asked how President Harrison
stood on the question. Fitch, in reply,
stated that Mr.. Harrison had ~disregarded
the silver plank in the platform on which
he was elected. He might, however, in
time, give the people justice. 1t would be
we'll for future presidents of both parties
to turn their eyes west. While New York
might continue to deal the cards, the
United States would take q prominent
part in the shuttle.
