farmer should not contine his attention to
the production of any one, two or three
crops, to the exclusion OF all others: nor 10
any one species of stock. But one leading
principle should he ever kept in view,--
strive to obtain the best of everything to
breed from. Select the best stock of hogs
sheep, cattle and horses as well as the best
varieties of potatoes. corn. wheat and vege-
tables.
In some parts of New Jersey, New York.
Vermont and other places, you will find
farmers owning $500 or $1,000 horses
They breed from good stock, take proper
care Of their animals-which require more
attention, but cat no more, than common
scrubs-and thus are enabled to find ready
market for all they have to sell, and at five
times the price that common, rough stock
will bring. This holds good with the whole
list of farm animals.
The indiscriminate slaughter of calves is
horribly improvident business. None
but heifer calves should ever 90 to the
butcher, and as few of them as possible
While it will not pay our farmers to buy
the stock cattle which are brought from the
West. and held by spectators at prices
higher than fat stock, it will pay largely
on the outlay, to rear calves to convert into
fat oxen, particularly if care is taken to
have the right kind of stock to breed from.
Let our farmers resolve to go to work the
present Spring to remedy this evil of low
priced grain and tile importation of high
priced foreign meats. If grain is low and
the price Of meat high, it will pay best to
feed the grain to stock, and by so doing,
make profit on meat, besides greatly in
crease the manure heap. But be careful to
avoid that evil of the opposite extreme
never attempt too feed too much stock.

For the purpose of 'electing two Trustees
OF the School House District, and deciding
such other questions as may arise an election

sixty Eight, and on the fret Saturday in May
in every year thereafter, at which every re
gistered voter having legal residence therein
shall be entitled to vote. And the School
commissioners for the several counties shall
give at least ten days public notice of such
elections by advertisements in the newspapers

ticn shall be had on the day aforesaid, then
the Board of County School Commissioners

In accordance with the above section of the
Public School Law for the State of Maryland,
notice is hereby given that an election will
be held in the several School Districts of the
county, on the
First Saturday Of May nert, ats 0 clock Pm.
As there appears 10 be no appointment of

Gle 81. Section 6. Of Volume of the Code of
Public General Laws Of the State of Mary
l.nd which is as follows:
IF neither of the judges 50 appointed
shall attend as aforesaid for the space of one

majority of them, or for one justice of the
peace III the event of but one being present,
or If no justice of the peace be present. for

judges of said election, who for that election
shall be vested with the same powers and au.
thority as if they had been appointed by the

NO MORE CREDIT.
THE CASH SYSTEM FOR THE COURIER!

The credit system has played ont with
ns. We do not propose to do any more
business on the credit system. We have
amused our friends long enough by invest
ing our money for their benefit, and doing
u credit busieess: but there is an end to all
things, and forbearance sometimes ceases
to be virtue. We have large list of
good paying subscribers, but that fact docs
not prevent our losing great many sup
scriptions. To protect ourselves, therefore,
from further losses of that kind, we beg
leave to announce that we shall immediate
ly send bills to all our subscribers who are
in arrears;l and that on and after May 4th,
1869, we shall send the NEW JERSEY
COURIER to those only who have paid up:
and that we shall promptly discontinue all
subscriptions when their time expires,
without regard to any one. This rule will
be rigidly enforced. All Job work must
be paid for on delivery. All transit adver-
tising must be paid for in advance. We
mean business. We had rather have 600
advance paying subscribers than thousands
of credit ones. If any one gets our paper
after May 4th, 1869, without paying for
it, we wish him to distinctly understand
that it is free gift, and we shall not both
er him about our bill. This course is
necessary, as it will save us the expense of
a canvassing agent and collector. Hurrah
for the cash system Walk up to the Cap
tains office and settle.

Record Of a Strong Company.

The National Life Insurance Com
pany, which received its charter from
the national Congress in July last, has
already made its record in unmistaka-
BILE characters. With its agencies as
yet only in process of organization, it
has, as we learn, issued insurance to an
amount exceeding seven million dol
lars. This we think is a very marked
success-it is so much needful work
we'll done.
The Company does strictly cash
business as being in its Judgment the
simples. and best for both the insurer
and insured, and it never complexities
its affairs with either notes, loans, or
dividends, and thus leaves no door open
to misapprehension or disappointment
in the future While the principle of
80 much insurance for so much mon
ey" is rigidly adhered to, and every
policy has thus fixed and determinate
value, all accumulations that might
otherwise be declared as dividends at
some future time, ARE DISCOUNTED IN
ADVANCE, and the except pro rata is
COUNTED IN with the amount of each
policy when it is issued.
Managed by men of the highest
financial ability and undoubted integri-
ty, protected by large paid up cash
capital, and possessing all the elements
that have given success to other SINH
lar enterprises, we should expect this
would become one of the most success
full institutions of its kind.
