RECORD Youn DEEDS.—Wo have no doubt
that many persons in this county are holds
ing unrecorded deeds which it would be
well for them to have recorded, as directed
by the.. provisions of an act of Asiembly
which requires that "all deeds and convey
ances for real estate in the Commonwealth;
shall be recordedin the office for recording
of deeds in the county where the lands lie,
within six months 'after the tizenution of
such deeds and conveyances, and every
such deed and conveyance not recorded as
aforesaid, shall bo judged. Vrwdtdent and
void against any subsequent purchaser for a
%%Webb) consideration, unless • such deeds
be recorded before the recording of.the
deed or conveyance under wiiich such sub
sequentpurebaser or mortgages shalt elaim."
Tins is a very impudent notice, , and these
holding unrecorded deeds will see the in
portance of baying theta ' recorded without
further delay.

der, charged with 'removing . or aiding in'the
removal of whisky fraudulently, or with con•
coaling it'qvith fraudulent intent, was re•
sunned yesterday. Testimony was heard for
tho Government,:the object of which wai . to
corroborate the statements of David C. Rel.
ler and _Tobias Dart°. Several witnesses
testified to the construction of n-reservoir at
the rectifying hone f Keller as n recepta•
'de of contraband whisky ; also, to a visit or
visits to the.place by George -W. Alexander,
and an inspection of the reservoir by him,
which they said was eight feet deep, and was
under the floor of the rectifying' house. At
the time of oho of the defendant's visits it
was about twothirds full.
Jos. G. Holmes testified that Ito was a Oo
vernment ' sterekeoper at Keller's distillery
in March, 1808, and saw the reservoir con
structed under the floor of ' the rectifying
house. : The whisky that was in it when
Alexander visited the !duce, had beon'hauled
fraudulently from the uistillory of Keller's,
the tax' not having'becn paid upon it. On
the cross:examination ot. this .witness, ho
said that be had not Made a report of the re
moval of this whisky' fraudulently to his su
perior Officer, and the reason was that the
assessor (Alexander) and the assistant asses
sors, had a knowledge of it, and they were
all his superiors.. The oath ho had taken on
entering upon his duties was what is , knoWn
as the "iron clad ;" be had no recollection
of taking any oath to faithfully perform . his
duty. Alexander had told witness to show
Keller all the chance he Could, as he had
been in the army and wee d good kilo*.
Keller had told him, on one occasion, that
hp had paid money to Alexander,- and wit
rim saw-Alexander soon after. in referemie•
to money duo to Holmes. Alexander ad:
witted that he had money, but, said he want
ed it to pay a debt of honor. •
Lewis h. Assistant Assessor in
the Eighth district, was ,sworn. (Returns
made by Keller to this witness of the product
of' the still were produced, and Meitell said
that node of them : had been liWorn to.]

Alexander, who invited bins privistdly . into
his room, and asked hini ithe swore Keller
to'hikreturns, and said he need not do,somi
'it was not necessary. By direetion ofthe de
fendant,. in February he. vtsited Keller's

character.
John 11, Jacobs, of the Ilcading,llar, was
than called as a witness,.. and testified to' n
visit ho and another friend, of the defendant
paid to'Keller, the chief Government Wit•
ness, with a view to . ascertain it the reports
circulated in reference to Alexander were
true; .and said that Keller then denied that
ho had made any charge against the 11581)8-

from it.
