Capt James Anderson, clerk Of the circuit
court for this county, yesterday received pos
tai card postmarked Baltimore, December IS.
upon which was written the following: Il am
going to kill twenty men before give up to
the police" Signed. y. Monky.". There is

raging near the head waters Of Rock creek

stroying large amount Of timber and fencing.

The proposition OF O meeting held in Balti-
more last week that the state of Maryland make
an appropriation Of S100, 600 for the purpose of
making an exhibit at the Columbian exhibition
at Chicago does not appear to have many advo-
Gates in this section. While all appear to he in
favor of display of the resources and manu-
features of the state many think that the ex-
pense should be borne by those who expect to
reap the benefits of the same and should not be
saddled upon the taxpayers generally, and es-
pecially at a. time when funde are 30 much
needed for the improvement Of public roads
and Other measures intended for the pub
lie good. Many others also argue that
be there can nowhere be found in the state con-
stitution any authority for using the public
funds for such purpose. Another feature Of
the Baltimore meeting that appears to attract
the attention OF the farming community is the
fact that q proposition for the city authorities
to assume a portion of the expenses of an cx.
hibit WAS voted down. They think that il the
city, where large proportion of the manu.
featuring OF the state is done and where the
most benefit is likely to accrue from the ex-
hibit, il not willing to bear portion Of the
expense it would be unwise and unjust to place
this additional burden upon the already over
taxed farmers.
