Let the Man That Dances Pay the FidIer.
The Cambridge Democrat says, there
is law up IN Pennsylvania that has
worked well for the public interest, and
we believe it might he enacted here with
good results. 1t relates TO cost in crimi-
nal proceedings. and provides that in
actions OF personal nature, such as as
sault and battery, malicious destruction
of property, defamation of character,
&c, either the party who brings the case
into court or the defendant shall pay the
costs. The justices and the judges are
given discretion in the premises, and the
costs may be divided between the infor-
mer and the defendant, or all may be
assessed against either. Under this law,
If man be knocked down when he de-
serves such treatment, the assaultiag
party would pay small fine and the
other fellow could lie made TO pay the
costs. With us in most of such cases,
the county must shoulder the costs, and
there is no limit as TO the number of
witnesses that may be summoned for
plaintiff, for he knows full well he is
ineurring no liability. Constables' and
magistrates cost III all the counties of
Maryland are quite an item to be pro-
vided for, and whist such law as we
have outlinen would decrease their in-
come very little, it would be a great re-
lief to the several county treasures. Let
it be considered.

On Tuesday evening, February 18th,
musical aud literary entertainments
will be given at the Opera House, under
the auspices of Severn Division No. :,
Uniform Rank knights OF Pythias,
which will, without doubt. be one of the
most enjoyable aud pleasing that our
citizens have had the opportunity to
witness for some time. The entertain
ment will be furnished by home talent

that all, old, young, middle aged, church
members, nOn-church members, aud all
others who wish clean, entertaining and
wholesome enjoyment can patronize. In
fact. one Of the chief objects that Severn

tertainment to allow those OF its mem
beers and friends who do not attend balls
an opportunity TO enjoy themselves and
participate in the good things furnished
by this organization. The prices OF adj
mission nave been set AT Il low inquire,
indeed, far below what would be deemed
reasonable price Of admission to first
class entertainment of this character.
In this connection, we would say, the
entertainment cannot be judged by the
amount of the admission fee, but the
tickets are placed at the very low figures
of IS, %, and Is cents in order that all
may have an opportunity To see what "a
fine and able class OF. home talent Anna
polls can boast Of. The 80 cent tickets
will entitle tie holder tu reserved seat,
if said holder will go TO the City Drug
Store where they will he on sale, and
have his or her seat checked off; the %
cent tickets are for general admission
and the Is cent tickets will admit the
bearer to the gallery. The two last
named classes Of tickets can be secured
from Boesel's Jewelry store, Church
street. See large bills.
