little attention to History, Tough required
branch under the bylaws, Il. cir exercises
were, on that subject, more or less defective,
and their general average thereby reduced
below what it would have been, if calcuiated
upon the other branches only. u,
1t is worthy of remark that some of tie
young ladies whose exercises give them a
place in the first class, have been educated
altogether in our county schools; a clear ev-
idence of what the public schools will do for
our people if properly sustained.
The manifest Improvement exhibited in
the work of those who have been attending
the State Normal School, as compared with
former examinations, is also subject of
congratulation to the friends of the present
system.
The Penmanship of the candidates was
generally of so excellent character, as to
attract the special attention and commenda-
ton of Professor Leakin, whose experience
and capabilities render his testimony on this
subject valuable.
1t will be seen that some of the applicants
for certificates Of the first grade did not
equal in their exercises under the first FIVE
branches several of those who aspired only
to the second grade. Thoroughness in the
fundamental branches is too often neglected.

Whatever else Harris may be, it has al
ways been conceded that he was no hypo-
c,itc, and that he is one of the true expoun-
ders of the democratic creed of this State is
equally undenable. You will perceive that
he declares himself an ''Old Line Democrat,
believing in the doctrine of secession" and
so does every mothers son of the party, who
clamors for the repeal of the Registry Law
of this State. Disguise it as they may they
believe in the doctrine of secession and
would have joined the rebels, ms Harris saws
he was ready to do, if the "sovereign State
Of Maryland had said So"
We ask every Union man, who has SC
very sympathetic heart as to be ready to
trust again the destines of the State to trai
tors, to ponder Harris speech and answer il
he is ready to repeal the Registry Law, that
such secession doctrine should be encouraged

ty-one and quarter millions. Would it not
have been better to have purchased Govern

the currency? Not only would twenty and

and, moreover, the volume Of currency so

to obtain funds for meeting their taxes, with

Elias Howe, the inventor and patentee
of the sewing machine needle, has declared
his purpose not to apply for an extension of
his patent, which runs out this year, on the
ground that he has made million and a half
dollars on it already, whice he regards as
fortune enough for one man. This is not
very generous on Mr.. Howe's part, as there
was scarcely probability of obtaining an
extension of the patent.
