Mails.-We have had bad delivery OF
mails recently. Great complaints are made
and not without cause. See to the matter,
Mr.. Creswell, and any Of the new appoint
ees who can't do the business, dismiss them
and appoint others. The public must mt
suffer for the sake of obliging Office hunt
ers. Oh for the day when the Jenckes
Civil Service Bill becomes the law of the
land.
The Wheat Crop of this county presents
an unusually fine appearance. The wheat
in the vicinity of Brick Meeting House is
reported to indicate a heavier crop than for
many years previous. 1t is much better
than the crop in the neighboring State of
Pennsylvania. These statements regard
ing the wheat crop are made on the
authority of a gentleman of reliable judg-
ment in farming matters, who has been
over the greater part of the county re-
Gently.
COncert.-There will be Concert in the
Odd Fellows Hall on Wednesday evening
next, which promises to be treat to the
lovers of Vocal Music.
Prof. Fischer, of Philadelphia is the only
stranger announced to sing on the occasion,
the greater part being native talent. Mrs.
johnson, the sweet singer of Elkton, will
assist. The Sabbath School children and
the NJ. E. Church choir 1.-THE latter always
sing we'll when they make the proper pre-
paration) will complete the company, and
pleasant evening may confidently be an
ticipated.
The Cemetery.-The list of subscribers
for lots in the proposed new Cemetery
which is advertised elsewhere in The Wing,
is rapidly filling up. Mr.. Foard thinks
that the requisite number will soon be ac-
quired to warrant him in taking more def
mite steps in the matter People residing
in the country are taking more interest in
the enterprise than the town folks. The
great advantage of such burial ground is
too apparent to need more than to be
brought to the notice of the community, to
create an interest sufficient to insure sue
cess to the undertaking. Those who desire

offered at q comparatively low rate.
Lay Delegation has exercised the Metho-
dist denomination for several months past,
as one Of the leading reforms, or proposed
reforms, in that church. The month of
June has been determined upon as the time
to hold elections in all of the Methodist Epis-
copal Churches Of the United States, for
the purpose of ascertaining the sense Of the
membership on the vital question. All
members of the church, both male and
female 81 years of age are entitled to vote
on this question of Church government
The Methodist church is evidently outstrip-
ing the State in practical republicanism.-
The State still confines suffrage to the
chords of CREATION" while the church is
about to confer the elective franchise Oh
the softer sex. We publish an able address
on the subject on our first page this
week, which will be of interest to large
portion of readers of The Wig.
Fine Farms For Sale.-Mr. Daniel Brat
ton, Real Estate Agent, advertises some
very fine land, near Elkton, at Public Sale,
on the 10Th of June next. This property
belongs to the real estate of the late John A.
johnson, and comprises some of the incest
farm land in this part of the county. The
Home Farm" is particularly desirable,
there being no waste land on the tract, and
land, buildings and fences all in excellent
condition. The terms, it will be seen by
reference to the advertisement elsewhere,
are very accommodating. These farms
being located within a short distance of the
railroad offer great inducements to practi-
cal farmers who desire place all in order
to SO to work on without the draw back OF
years which the putting rundown place
in order requires. The sale will be posi-
tive, and there is a good prospect of OBJ
tanning cheap farms at moderate figures
and ON very moderate terms. Located
midway between the great commercial
cities of Philadelphia and Baltimore, an
increasing demand for all of the farmers
produce can safely be counted on.
