LAYING CoRNER.SroNE.-On last Sab.
bath afternoon the ceremony of laying the
cornerstone Of the new church and school
house of the colored people of Elkton was
performed, accompanied with some csre.
mony such as usually practiced on such &C,
casions. The Rev. Mr.. Matlsck, pastor Of
the NJ, E. Church Of this town, was invited
to be present and deliver some remarks On
the occasion, which he d. in that practical
manner so characteristic Of the parson on
all occasions. Knowing that fine Grafton
and flourish of rhetoric would do but little
toward the consumation OF the grand object
is view the completion of the building, tho
reverend gentleman proposed to pay dollar
a minute for every minute he should speak +,
citing some benevolent precedent for his
example, hoping that his self.impose1 tax
would be the INITIAL in the collection which
he informed the crowd would be taken up
when he had concluded his remarks. The
coored people are in great need Of snch a
building, but their means are limited, and il
is hoped that the whites will be liberal &c ward
them in supplying material aid, after the
manner Of Mr.. Matlack, rather than good
wishes alone. The collection amountpd to

Two PARTIES OSLY.-The claim set up
by certain politicians Of the existence of
Conservative party in Maryland, as sep.
arate and distinct from the Rebel or Demo.
cratic party, and the. Republican party Of
the State, was pretty efIectually exploded
by the election held in Baltimore for Judge
aud Clerk of City Court--a new Court es-
tablished by the Legislature last winter-on
Wednesday last. The vote was very light,
being u, l6s less than the registered vote of
the city. The Democratic vote poled for
Judge was 1871; Republican 4.937, and
Conservative . 1852 This latter repre-
sents the vote Of tire Swami faction in Bal
timore, where it is perhaps proportionally
stronger than in any other part Of the State,
After this We hope TO hear no more about
" Conservative party" In the hands of
Swami ii has served az a cats paw for the
Rebel party. That party is now done with
it, and has thrown it aside to shift for itself.
There are but two parties in Maryland, and
in future the State must either remain all
CeSsack or become all Republican.

great rapidity and soon extended to all parts
Of the building, Notwithstanding the efforts
made to check its progress The means
provided for the extinguishment of fires
proved entirely Intellectual. A large reser.
voir had been prepared and by powerful
steam pump it was supposed every floor in
the mill could be flooded. The fire took
place, however, in the room where the main
connected with the smaller pipes and these
being speedily destroyed by the heat, the
whole arrangement was rendered useless.
The loss is stated to be over $500, 900,
and the insurance amounts TO $115, OOO.--
1t is said that arrangements will be made at
once to rebuild their establishment and pui

of April. In arranging the procession the
American flag was forgotten " by the chiv.
airy, although banners and devices number.

carried in the procession. Last year they
omitted from the procession the stars and
stripes, and when the authorities of the Fire
Department were admonished afterward in
regard to the omission, they pleaded forget.
tulness. General Sickles, however, took
care to remind them of it on the present
occasion, which he did in the following or.
der, which was gall and norwood, no
doubt, to the thoughtless chivalry. Not
only did the General require the flag to have
aplace in the procession, but the chief place,
and assigned it an escort of honor, and com.
peeled every mothers son of the chivalry to
salute the old flag with uncoveredhead.

A SERMON FoR You've PEoPLE.-The Rev.
Mr. Matlack, according to notice given in
Saturdays Whig, preached in the Methodist
Church Of this town, on Sabbath evening
last, sermon specially prepared for young
people. His discourse was on the Choice OF
Companions, and as an opening sermon on
that vitality important subject, contained
much food for sober reflection on the part
Of the young. The second sermon on the
same subject will be preached tomorrow
evening, and we presume will prove more
interesting and instructive than that Of last
Sabbath. which was but Introductory. The
audience present was very large, and com.
posed Of the several denominations of the
town.
At 3 o clock in the afternoon of the same
day, A Little Sermon to Little Folks was
preached by Mr. Matlack. The audience
consisted of the children Of the Sunday.
school and congregation, their parents, and
friends Of the cause, and was assembled in
the audience room Of the Church. The
services were particularly interesting, the
reverend gentleman basing his remarks on
the 18th verse of the 34th Psalm, Come, We
children, hearken unto nc: will teach you
the fear Of the Lord. The discourse was
but about twenty minutes long, very appro.
pirate, and quite interesting The attention
given by the c iii iFer and the readiness with
which they answered the questions PROFOUND.
ed, was no less matter of surprise than
pleasure to all. The school, in concert, re-
peated the Lords Prayer and the 24th
Psalm, and sang several Of their choicest
hymns. At the conclusion of the exercises,
a collection for the benefit Of the school was
taken, which amounted to $4,000.
In the above we omitted to state that the
singing was accompanied by music on the
harmonium, and that the Westamwell, n
branch school, was present and took part in
the exercises.

Town Election. first Monday in
May is the day for holding the annual etec.
ton for the choice Of Town Commissioners
for the corporation of Elkton. We have
not heard Of any stir being made among the
borough politicians about this important
matter, and presume that the lively interest
excited last year over the town election, has
died out in great measure. The present
board did good deal Of useful work among
which was the laying down of q very excel.
lent brick wall. on North street, as also
widening part Of the side walk on Main.
We suggest that the time of the present
board be extended for another term in order
that it may have an opportunity to hunt up
its missing bailif who has not turned up
since the adjournment of the Legislature,
where there being no ''place" for him, ono
was very kindly provided for the special
benefit ct "hailiil4 in consideration Of the
noble services rendered by him III the fall
campaign. The Legislature also appointed
said hailif' 10 hunt up the slaves which were

now which is more important than imponnd'

Goal affairs.

spnISo.-The bright days of spring ought
to be upon US, but their presence is terribly
interfered with by clouds and disagreeable
showers; while the balmy breezes with fra.
grant breath, hat We read of in the poets,
turn out to be. principally northeasters and
northwesters, with breath smelling more like
Greenland than the Tropics. The black,
birds and bobalinks strike up a feeble tune
occasionally when the sun glints out. but n
chilly blast soon commands silence among
the feathered choir. The birds are not alone
in State of depressed spirits, but our mil
liners, who have decorated their shop win
dows with those gaudy trappings for the fe'
male head, look modify at the gloomy
clouds, while they sigh and wait for the APP
proach Of bright days and azure skies, and
with them smiling faces and bright eyes, with
pretty little heads to decorate with flowers,
ribbons and laces of hundred hues.
|. Notwithstanding the inauspicious weather,
the green grass gradually <reeps from the
eay:h, spreading an emerald carpet over field
and lawn, and the little flowers peep out
from their velvet surroundings, lifting their
bright faces to the sun as if to Woo him from
his gloomy, leaden pavilion. to shed q genial
ray responsive to their tender, smiling beauty.
We will conclude this notice of the hayward
season by the following Invocation Of the
poet to the Goddess of the vernal year;
