MIR. EDITOR In your paper OF the 25th
ut., appeared an article under the above
caption. the object Of which was to correct a
habit which unfortunately prevails. to con-
siderable extent in some congregations in
town and country, at the present time. 1t
would he well If the " Editorial corps would
keep this passing round, " as it must have
good effect wherever it may be read.
There is smother bad habit which. strange
10 say, is INDUCED in by many thou.htlcSs
ersons IN rural districts, and that is, getting
up and going ont during the service, to the
annoyance OF the congregation and the OIL
ciatlng Minister. Many years ago. in n GER
tain part Of the Eastern Shore Of MARYLAND
there was church where tins habit prevailed
TO such degree as to have become a subject
of ge0cral remark. One Of the old preachers,
who had jus; received his appointment to thai
field Of labor, had heard Of the annoyance
to which the people worshipping at that
place were subjected, and ne Was determined
II possible, to put stop To II Mt this first
visit. Accordingly having arrived there on
Sunday morning he went into the church,
and at the appointed hour commenced the
services. After having passed through the
preliminary exercises he gave out his tex.
and then paused and looking over the congre =

IyWe find letter from Elkton, in
the Philadelphia Bulletin of Wednesday, from
which we take the following extract:
For one characteristic, however,, it [Elkton]
is remarkable. 1t is q spasmodc town-a
place in which everything is done by fits and
starts. Sometimes great religious or tenn
perance revival springs up. Then it dies out
and is followed by season of hard swearing
or whisky drinking. Sometimes balls, parties
and all manner Of gaiety and dissipation are
the rage. Then comes stagnation-a
perfect dead calm in the social world. Some
times we get up fair for the benefit of tho
church, and at other times a fight for the
dement, OF the tire company. In a word the
Elktonions are always on the alert for some
new excitement, and if the ghosts of all our
detunct Lyccums, Temperance Societies,
Fire Companies and other sensation Asso-
Citations that have lived through brief but
bright existence, We're to come up from the ir
unhonored graves, like Pharaoh's frogs, they

The writer dscourses on " scandal, ),
"courting," " harvest /" &C., and in regard
to the latter says:
-" From thousand wheat fields the cradle
has been flashing in the sun and among our
hills and valleys the CHATTER of the reaper has
been reverberatng all the day long"
The writer We perceive is reader of The
Wing, as the following sentence, very like
tho above, appeared in our columns last
week
" From her [Cec!Ps] thousand fields the
clatter of the reaper has gone out to rever-
berate in the hills, or the cradle and sick lie
have flashed afar in the sum-

---~ Primary meetings are called this week
to send delegates to County Convention to
be held on the End of August. 1t is
desirable there should be full Convention at
that time, as we'll on account of the business
to be transacted as for the purpose of afford
ing an opportunity for consultation among
gentlemen from different parts of the county
in reference to the county nominations for
the coming election. With good selection
of candidates wewill be easily able to succeed
with our whole ticket, and it is very desira-
bic that the claims and merits of the various
candidates who may be proposed should be
well weighed beforehand. None but compe.
tent and popular men should be nominated
for any of the Offices, and with due obsel "
ance of these particulars their election will be
certain.
The time for the State Convention will be
fixed by the State Central Committee, which
meets in Baltimore on Wednesday next
1t is probable. also, that the members from
the Eastern Shore and this Congressional
District will at that time set the days for the
Conventions to nominate the candidates for
Congress and Commissioner of Public Works.

ESCAPE OF PRISONERS. -Four prison
ers celebrated the 4th of July by scaling the
yard wall of the Elkton Jail and making their
escape; they were committed on charges of
assault and battery, and we understand as the
parties assaulted did not intend to appear
against them they would have been let out
this week on their own recognizances.
TIM FOURTH passed quietly in Elkton.
In the morning the Lodge of Odd Fellows
from Chesapeake City joined with Cecil Lodge
and paraded through the streets accompanied
by the Brass Band from North East all these
and great many other citizens then went to
the Odd Fellows celebration at Newark Del.
Others went down the river boating and fishing
Others out to the country, so that the town
was quite deserted. At night after all had
returned, there was a great crowd in the
streets, and large quantities Of fire works
were let off here and there about the town.
q" Old Joe Pud - who says the spirit of rs is
dead except in himself, was out as usual with
his uniform and drum--and thus passed the
4th in Elkton.

Mar Port correspondent gives detailed
account of the fire at Port Deposit on the
morning of the 4th inst. The principal build
ings burned belonged to J. Tome, and Tay lor
& Cuttings of Baltimore. Mr.. Tome had
81 800 insurance in the Mutual Insurance
Company ofths county. Taylor and Cuttings,
we understand were insured in Baltimore
MFR. A. Kidd, who resided in Tones house,
had $500 insurance on furniture, in the office
here. Mr.. S. Peace, another resident of the
block, had an insurance on his furniture, also
in the Cecil office, about which there will pro-
bally be some dispute as he had changed his
residence without notifying the Company
This will make the loss to the Cecil Office at
least So 700, and probably more. Mr.. Falls,
who lost nearly all his goods, was not insured.

COUNTY LEvY.-The County Com.

COUNTY LEvY.-The County Com
mssioners made their annual levy for 1859 at
their meeting on Wednesday last. The total
assessment in the county is S7,942, 046-the
amount liable to county tax 81, GIG, 1895 and
the amount liable to state tax 81 1888, 223.--
The total assessment last year was 81 ,965 $40
the difference is caused by striking off the
Private Securities assessed to non-residents
which, heretofore, have been returned insol-
vent. The county and state taxes this year
amount to 80 cents in the 500, which is II
cents lower than last year. In this sum is
included the school tax of 12 cents and levy
of half the current expenses in advance last
year, but ono fourth of the current expenses
were levied in advance.
