Georges county, who were arrested at Hy-
attstown Saturday, charged with setting
fife to a load of hay, which also completely
destroyed the wagon Of John Grimes, OF
Clarksburg, this county, were arraigned be-
fore a magistrate at Boyd's Saturday eve
ming and acquitted Ofthe charge. The men,
bers testified that they saw no one in their
party strike match, but on the contrary
number of witnesses were produced who
swore that Mr.. Grimes was seated on top
of the load of hay smoking pipe, which he
admitted. 1t is now thought that the hay

Gill, of Montgomery county, Md. Mr.. Clark
is an ardent gold bug, while Mr.. Gill is

upon block of ice Each of the gentle
do the riding, and both are anxiously wait
ing for the developments of Tuesday week"
