A Deserted Town.
From the Baltimore News.

From the Baltimore News.
Jarrelltown, in Chapel district, Talbot
county, has disappeared. Fifty years ago
this dead village was known as Williams
burg. 1t was plainly marked on the maps
Of the eastern shore by that name. At
that time. and for years after, it contained
five or six dwellings, a mercantile store,
blacksmith and wheelwright shops. A few
hundred yards north of it was Carter's
Corner, a low rum hole where whisky was
dealt out at six cents a pint. In 1877 a
terrible murder was committed at FARRELL
town. James Fitzjarrell and wife, a very
aged couple, lived together in the village,
and owned large tract of land contiguous
thereto. These two were found in the early
hours of the me rning, after very stormy
night murdered in their bed Every effort
was made by tie authorities to ferret out
the perpetrators of this double crime, but
without success. heavy reward was Of
fered by a relative in California, but no
clue has ever been discovered. The house
in which this crime occurred was the first
one removed. Others have followed in sue
cession, until the ground is now being
cleared of the last relic of Williamsburg.
