A YOUNG LADY

Returning to her country home, after sojourn
OF few months in the city, was hardly recog-
nlzeo by her friends In place of a coarse, rus
tic, flushed face, she had soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead Of
twenty-three she really appeared but eighteen
Upon inquiry as to the cause of great change
she plainly told them that she used the CIK-
CAsslAN BALM, and considered it an inval-
liable acquisition to any lady's toilet By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple in its
combination, Us nature herself is simple, yet un-
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
FROM also healing, cleansing and identifying the
skin and complexion. By its direct action on
the cutcle it draws from it all its impurities
kindly healing the same, and leaving the surface
nature intended it should be, clear SOFT smooth

LAND AGENcY.--We call the attention of per-
sons desiring to sell orpurchase land, to pamph-
let just issued by John s. Dallam, Esq, of this
county, in which he describes some two hundred
farms and properties, which be is now offering
for SALE These lands lie principally IN Mary
land and Virginia, many of which are in this
county, and are in a high state of cultivation.
Mr. Dallam is among the largest dealers in lands
within the State, and consequently is at all times
prepared to offer such property as will suit any
character of purchaser. His facilities for pur-
chasing as well as selling lands, are very great.
Having been for some considerable time engaged
in the business, and enjoying a very extensive
acquaintance and great familiarity with the
lands OF this section of the State enables him to
furnish information in regard to them not easily
obtained elsewhere.

County Records.

1t appears from the records 10 the Office of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court, that during the year
1866, there were issued l35 marriage licenses,
1874 traders licenses, 81 ordinary lncenses, %
retail liquor licenses, 80 millinery licenses and
25 civil commissions taken out.
The number of suits brought during the year
was 23l, aud the number of cases disposed of was
Isl. There were during the year 1866, 81 in
dictments found, 70 Of which were disposed of,
The most remarkable thing to be found on the
records of the Clerk, is that of marriages,
births and deaths The wisdom of our legisa-
tors few years since, conceived the thought of
recording marriages, births and Deaths
They did the like in Massachusetts,, and OF
course We ought to do the same; and all the
Clerks Of the counties and one for the city OF
Baltimore were required to procure record books
just like Massachusetts. This they did, and the
record Of the Clerk of the Circuit Court for
Hartford county, shows that during the year
1866, there were recorded 100 marriages, and
during the same year there appears from the
record to have been in the county IL births and
deaths. There must be a very healthy
atmosphere pervading this part of the world,
when out of population of about $4,000
we have but four deaths in twelve months. At
this rate our county would soon have an i'm
mense population, if it was not for the meagre-
ness of the increase for the same period. But
there is no danger of Hartford becoming depopu-
lated, at this rate, if we could only stop emigra-
ton, and offer some inducements to encourage
immigration. Perhaps if these same Solows
who passed this most important act were back
in Annapolis, they could do something for US
in this emergency; but as they are not there,
and never will be again, we may as we'll make
up our minds to put up with the loss of their valu-
able services. After all, we are about as we'll off
as most other counties; for Cecil, with popula-
tion rather more than equal to ours, boasts of
only l73 marriage licenses granted during the
year 1866, and Of twelve births and nine deaths
during the same year.
This law may, for aught we know, be of very
great value, and so may have been the effort to
change our districts into townships; but real
ly we regard them, as we do many other acts
passed by the same body OF men, about equal in
value and usefulness to Mrs. Partington's test of
''good blue"

SKATISG.-We understand that there never
was time when skating was so general at Hav-
re.de-Grace as now. One reason for this is to be
found in the fast that the ice is better calculated
to invite skaters than usual. There having been
but little rain and no break up of the river the
surface of the ice is unusually smooth and CLASSY
The skating is not mind to the young, but all
classes appear this winter to have caught the
skating fever. Married and unmarried, old and
young, enjoy the luxury alike-very many OF
whom are expert and graceful skaters. We are
told that Mr.. Paul, who lives about three miles
from Havre-de-Grace, and who has several
grandchildren is the most proficient skater OF
the season. Mr.. Faults the owner ola splendid
pair of skates, purchased at a cost of forty dol.
lars, and presented to him some years ago by the
Philadelphia Skating Club.

Important TO Young Men and Teachers.

Every young man. whatever may be his future
calling in life, will find a thorough and practical
business education bis greatest aid 10 success -
Such course may be had by all, MS, the expense
and time necessary for thorough preparation
can readily be spared from the earnings of every
industrious youth in the country. Three months
only are necessary for preparation that shall
introduce any farmers son, teacher or nechan-
ic, into business position that shall bring him
good salary, and that may lead him on to
business success. At Philadelphia, Pa, a sys-
tenn Of instruction has been introduced into ]. G.
MUMFoRD's Business and Telegraph College that
must be thoroughly PRACTICAL and work revo-
luton in commercial instruction in all schools
having pupils enough so that it may be intro
duced. Unfortunately this system of instruction
can only be carried out in a few of the larger
schools in the United States, as it requires for
its successful operation great number of STU
dents in daily attendance. This course is re-
ceiving the encouragement and enthusiastic sup
port of the leading business men and educators
throughout the country, and is drawing for this
College patronage from nearly every State in the
Union. The practical arrangement of every de-
partment makes it profitable for young meu to
come hundreds of miles to enjoy its advantages,
as at no other school in the country can equal
advantages be had for business education.
Rev. ALEXANDER CLARK Editor of Clarks
School Vistto" in a notice of that institution,
said 1.-THE Commercial College of J. G. Num-
FORD combines in its plan spractcali,ies,
and better disciphnes its students for successful
business than any similar institution with which
| am acquainted in the city, and but one in our
whole country in any wise compares with it, and
that one pursues method somewhat the same
but perhaps not as fully developed"
Such report from Rev. ALEXANDER CLARK is
strong evidence of the character and standing of
this School. The College, from its plan Of in
structon, invites the attention Of the masses and
as it issues many publications explanatory oft
working which are mailed free OF charge, we
suggest that those interested in education send
an application for circulars, as they will no doubt
be furnished Immediately on receipt of request
