COUNTY MAP.—We have already ex
pressed our .gratification at the prospect- of
having a Map of our county published, and
'now have the pleasure to state that surveys
for the purpose are• in active progress. - The'
only Map of Adams county ever published, so
far-as our. knowledge extends, was by Messrs.
WAGNER & SMALL, of York, about thirtyffive
years ago. Very. few copies of it, we presume,
are now in existence. --It Was small in size,
and though doubtless an accurate del inea tier' of
towns, roads, &c., was not to be compared
with the Map which Messrs. Smolt & BYLES
propose to . issue. The new Map will show not
merely the location of, towns, villages, roads,
mills; and houses of warship,. but every farm ,
will be marked in its proper place and the
owner's name be distinctly printed thereon.
'like style of - .the Map may be seen at' the
office of D. WILLS, Esq., in this place.
MITCHELL'S MAP.—By reference to our
advertising columns, it will be seen that an op
portunity is afforded the citizens of this county,
to procure Mitchell's New National Map of the
United Stale:s, &c.—one of the most desirable
ever published. It Can be had exclusively
by subscription.
TR E ES. —Roi . wAtT SMITH, Esq., has planted
a - pair of beautiful Mahogany Trees in front of
his residence, in Centre Square. This again
brings to mind the idea started by Mr. Mc-
CLP:LLA N . last spring. of placing Lindens around
the entire circle, which we hope will be fully
carried out this season. The expense would
be but a few dollars,—a mere nothing com
pared with the enhanced beauty and comfort
which the trees would afford. Let it be done
without delay.
CALLED.—Rev. Mr. INlAnosr, who has been
ministering to the Presbyterian Congregation
at fluntorstow n, during the past winter, has
received and accepted a permanent ca 11 from
that congregation.
NEW CORN.—We have received from the
Patent Office, at Washington, a few packages
New Mexican White Flint Corn. which we
will freely distribute among those who ma y
call. it is said to be prolific in yield, excel
lent for table use when green, and much es
- - ntd-for-brentirpudaT,,, &c., w-he • • , •
adapted to all parts of the corn region of the
United States south of Massachusetts.
MAD DOGS.—A dog supposed! to be mad,
was killed one day last week near Papertown,
but not, however, until after Tie had bitten a
great number of dogs, hogs, &c.—Any person
owning a dug which was even supposed to have
been bitten. should immediately destroy him
and not endanger the community.

An Honest .Officerr

capacity of ifitary storekeeper at Watertow n .
Massachusetts; that the was agent for CO.

pistols; that *the - Adjutant Generals of some
i eight or ten States he named had drawn the .
quota or arms to which their States were prin. ,
tied it Rerd+B, and that if Gest.. - Bowtnart
would accept Ili. quota of Pennsylvania in that
~.arse, he (11r. :1 3 ,;.) would make it a :natter of
pecuniary ad voltage to him, (Gun. 13.) Ther
General was riitested to reply at his
couvenivace, algid to state the amount of Penn

United-States, 0 the end that if the writer was
really an - offiee of the Army, the service miolit
he purged of th scoundrel as soon as possible. -
The President turned the matter .over•t a the
Secretary of :at., who wrote to Gen. Bow
