Last Sunday the steamer ST. Adams
was wrecked of Hog Island on our coast.
She is vet intact with the heavy surf of
the last few days. making complete
breach over her. The probability OF saw
ing the steamer is small. She has listed
sand. About ninety bales Of cotton from
her after hatch has washed ashore and
the rest Of her cargo is still in her. Most
Of il is in damaged condition. No
work has been done toward saving the
vessel or cargo, aud the wreck steamers
North America and Tamesi made harbor
at Norfolk during the late gales.
during the past two weeks two bank
notes ON the Somerset and Worcester
Savings Bank, an institution formerly
doing business in Salisbury, which failed
about thirty years ago. have been in cir
culation in this county. We were unable
TO trace whence the notes came. but some
one is evidently trying TO realize ON good
for nothing paper. One of the notes, u
two dollar greenback, was received by
gentleman in Girdleiree from his com
mission merchant in Philadelphia in part
payment for shipment Of potatoes. One
of them was offered for deposit AT the
First National Bank of Snow Hill by "A
gentleman who had taken il for good
money, bu, the scru,inzing eye of Cash
Ter Matthews easily detected ITS worth
lessness. Look at your notes carefully
and you will lose nothing.

not a very large gathering which Was due

The quest ion of having law passed
relative to the fencing Of real estate in
Worcester cOunty,by the present Legisla
ture is now being agitatcd in this and
other districts in the County. As the de
cision rendered al rec ent term Of the
Circuit Court is not satisfactory 10 any
one. We think some action should be
taken and law passed which will be
satisfactory 10 the largest number oi
farmers 10 the county According To the
decision referred 10 the law as it now
stands required only that real estate
shall hc ineloscd without STIMULATING the

owner Of same. In other words the de
