Tie Sensational convention.

FROM tne SutStA tIsus.J
We palilish this week a report of the do
ings OF the State Educational Convention,
that convened in Dover the Esd and 24th ult.
Ii was our pleasure to be present during the
whole session, and to observe and note, not
only the number and character of those pres
ent, hut also the earnestness and zeal mani
tested in the cause. The questions discus
sed and voted upon were of such practl-
cal nature as to convince us that that those
engaged in them were neither novices nor
fanaticists A committee was appointed to
draw up code of school laws, to be submit
ted to the Convention, at its next meeting
the end Monday in July next, for its consid-
Grafton. This code will be eventually sub
mtted to the State Legislature at next hien'
NAL sitting. We earnestly hope and cont
IDENTIFY believe that every one through the
State will lend their suggestions and assls
lance in this great work, and that the move
ment thus inaugurated will neither be sui
fered to pause nor decline; but rather let al
give firm support to this great auxiliary t.
| civilization and christianity.

NEWSPAPER CuANoE.-Mr. 7. S. Hodson, late
editor and Proprietor of the Somerset Herahd,h has
sold that paper TO c. Wesley Fontaine. The
Herald has heretofore supported the Republican
party, though not SO un1inchingly us have most
of our Eastern Shore Republican exchanges.
The opening editorial of the new proprietor
does not indicate the political course of the paper
in the future. but some of the extracts indicate
that the editor is certainly not radical Let Its
politics be what it may however, If it pays suiilci-
ent attention to local affairs 1t will succeed as we
hope 1t may. 1t is a well printed cheerful look
ing paper.

HEAVY FREroHrs.-La quantities of cotton
are now being forwarded from the South by the
Norfolk line of steamers TO Crsfeld and thence
North by the Delaware r.. R. So great is the
pressure, that the boats are unable to carry the
whole amount of freights offered, and IL is with
difficulty that sufficient cars can be obtained to
transport it from Crsfleld to It's destination. This
line is also popular with passengers in the winter
on account of lis certainty and cclcrity.-Som-
