" lockers on at the button-boling which was
continually going on until the appointments
we're made. An order was passed by the
Board directing the Clerk to notify the Com
missioners Of ST. Mary's county that, accord
ing 10 the books of this county, balance Of
nearly $500 was sull due by st. Mary's to
this county for expenses in the Biscoe murder
case, and to request its immediate payment
The Commissioners determined, that as the
law did not permit them to expend over $4,000
in one wear for roads, and that sum having
already been expended ny their predecessors,
to memorable the legislature for authority to
pay the balance due the old road supervisors
and for extra road work done, amounting in
the aggregate to nearly $1,000. Road super
visors were appointed as follows. Robert
Price, for Hill Top, John Queer, for Middle
town, and Richard Mason, for Bryantown
districts. The appointment for the 9Th corp
and for the fourth district was not made be-
cause Of the absence Of Mr.. Harrison who was
detained at home on account Of sickness. At
the next meeting which takes place on the
2sth instant, those two appointments will be
made, and it Is said collectors will also be ap-
pointed at the same time. Mr.. Padgeit, the
Clerk to the Commissioners, was made general
treasurer, and will be required to give an adj
diiional bond Of $1,000, the Commissioners
thinking that amount would be sufficient to
cover all possible DEFICIENCIES, as the treasurer
never has at any one time more than $1,000 in
bis hands. This additional bond was sug-
gested to the Commissioners BY Nj. Padgett
himself, who Believes that all persons hand
ling public money should be under good and
sufficient bond TIE salarv for road super
visors was reduced to $3.50 per annum.
