THE Town CoMMIssIoNERs.-These

representatives of the body corporate of Elk
ton, who had been inquired after several
times without those inquiries, however, be-
ing satisfied, turned up in court, at the last
session, being onjured to make heirappear-
ance there by the troubled ghosts of certain
dogs that fell victims under their bloody de-
cree, last maddog season almost year.
What induced the inquiries formerly spoken
of, was the want of attention to sundry lit
tie municipal Irregularities such MS unclean-
ed streets and alleys, chokcd up cutters, and
last Of ALL though not least, the completion
of the proposed brick side walk on the west
side of North street. We have been officially
informed that curb stones were ordered for
this Improvement from Port Deposit last
Summer or Fall, but they have not arrived.
Why don t the authorities look after them
This side walk is one of the most used thor.
oughtares of the town, and should by all
means be paved and put in decent ORDER
Our Town Commissioners have been very
easy about matters Of Improvement. and we
hope the next board, which is to be chosen
IN May, will be pledged to policy of enter
PRISE, without respect to party. If Union
men can't find time to devote to the business
of the corporation, select some enterprising
Coppcrheads. This class has been out of
Office so long, that perhaps they would en-
ulate that new broom which has the repu.
tation of sweeping clean. AT all events, let
the next board be pledged to do some
thing If nothing else will stimulate the
board to have the streets and cutters thor
oughly cleaned before the hot season sets
in, they should remember that the cholera
is coming.

tbs CHooL-IIoUsE. There is no
surer index to the state of feeling and public
spirit in neighbour od than the condition
Of the School House. When you see poor,
dlapidated School House without neatness
or comfort, you may rest assured that the
blessings of education are not appreciated,
and that there is want of public spirit in
that ncighborhood which will dctract from
the value of property surrounding it, twice
the amount to build good, attractive and
comfortable SchoolHou When the emf

he is from a land of public Schools, and

of property as in some degree proportional
to the appreciation of knowledge in the
neighborhood, and with him The neglect of

effect on the value of property. If you wish

ton. j. 7. Mccullough, &. W. Bennett and
&. W. Cruikshank were appointed com,
mittee to confer with the Company for the
advancement of this most desirable object.
We think if this improvement is pushed by
our influential citizens that it can easily be
effected. We have heard of several who
are willing to subscribe literally to the stock
of the Company.
Some Of our Kent county ncighbors rather
disapprove Of building the road on the route
here proposed, but think of terminating it
at some point on the bay. Perhaps there
are some Rip Van Wrinkles in that section
who have not discovered that frcighters pre-
fer running their produce to, and receiving
their goods in return from, the city without
the expense and delay of unloading cars
and storing freight on boats. On no other
theory can we account for such preference.

Sheep Peddlers.

The honest and uususpecting farmers of
the Western and Southern States should
beware of sheep peddlers, who traverse the
country and swindle everybody who deal.
with them. Too many of our hard work
ing farmers are swindlcd out of hundred
Of dollars annually by these travelling gen.
try. The farmer should understand soms
of the frauds prasticed by these peddlers,
in order to detect them before it is too late
in the first place, they are always sure to
have any particular breed that is wanted =,
and can always produce certificates to that
effect. As Vermont is celebrated for its
fine and valuablle sheep, most of these ped
dlers emanate from there; though we regret
to say it, not a few hail from this State.
They buy their sheep in Vermont or Now
Hampshire. so that they can, if noeds be,
swear to the fact that they came from that
section of the country. aud away they start
for the West or South, with their genuine
aocks Of Vermont sheep! Before they
start with them, however, they first paint
and fix them up for the market. Notice
the great and wonderful change! Rams
which they bought tor $40 or less, under
their care and manipulationss are so alter
ed and improved that they sell them easily
for $1OO or 5000. We have even seen it
stated, that these follows will take flock
of common sheep, sand in one night they
will become the most improved Merinos
In color. If this is the case, aud we see
no cause to doubt it, is it safe for any
farmer to purchase sheep Of them? Far
mers should, in fact, buy emily of those
breeders who are we'll known, and noted
for their upright transactions in business.
Such breeders have too much at stake to
peril their reputation by any such trans
actions as we have noted above. With
the sheep apeddler it is different; all he
looks out for is a good bargain, and after
you have made purchase Of him, be is
off, and the probability is that you will
never get near enough to him again to
to have chance to make any complaints.

Covering grass Seed.

It has been shown, by experiment, that
but very few of any kind of grass seeds
germinate, when covered two inches deep,
not over one-tenth as many as when COW
cred one quarter of an inch deep. 1t there
fore, follows that the practice of some far
mers to harrow in grass seed is very
bad one, First, the grain that you seed
down with should be sown and narrowed
in, leaving the land as even as poss ible,
then sow the grass seed, then weave some
small brush among our harrow teeth, in
a way that the ground will merely receive
a light scratching, as the harrow is drawn
ever it. Sometimes few long, trailing
branches of trees, a. the kemlock or spruce
