The ceremony of decorating the graves
of the soldiers was performed by the Post

after prayer by Rev. Thos. /. Poulson, a
line was formed and marched to the Roman
Catholic burying ground, where the re-
mains of several soldiers were laid. The
procession, standing in line around the
first grave approached, Rev. 1Ir. Poulson
made an impressive prayer, when the line
broke, and the graves i'll this cemetery
were appropriately decorated, each grave
having little flag stuck upon it, and
4 wreath and boqucts of flowers placed on
the head and foot of the mound, where
sleep the unforgotten brave The floral
tribute having been paid to the graves i'll
the Catholic cemetery, the line was again
formed and marched to the Methodist grave
yard, and the same beautiful tribute paid
to the memory of the soldiers whose re,
mains sleep there. The company next as
scmbled under large tree, near the grave

Horse and Carriage Stolen.-A valuable
mare was stolen from the stable of John G.
Smith, near Conowingo, Cecil county, Nd.
on Thursday night last. After taking the
mare, the thief OF thieves proceeded TO the
residence of Mrs. Jenkins, in the same
neishborhood, and secured set of new
harness, and attempted to attach the ami
NAL to fine buggy belonging to lady Wis
iting at Mrs. jenkins, but it is supposed
they were frightened off by the dog The
buggy was found next morning standing in
the road. The party then proceeded east
ward until they came TO the residence of
Mr.. Collins, near Elan, Lancaster county,
where they were successful in securing a
rockaway carriage and another set of har-
ness. They then escaped with their booty
and have not been heard from since. Mr.
Smith being member of the Fulton Asso-
citation for the Detection of Thieves, that
company promptly offered Il reward of 80
for the recovery of the horse and the de
lection of the thief, and turned out and
made vigilant search. The Little Britain
Co.. also offers $75 reward for the capture
of the thief and the recovery of Mr. Collins
carriage. Mr.. Smiths mare is bav with
black legs, name and tail; about wears old
and 10! hands high. Every citizen should
use his best exertiOns to capture the thief
that an example might be made of him.

The Elkton papers have stirred mp the
county authorities, and all others in power.
till their stirring powers have waxed and
waned, but apparently all to no purpose
The county authorities know all about the
wretched roads, and the cause. too. lust as
well as we could tell them. But for the
information of those who, like the Tram
script, reside out of the State. we will put
the reason on record; which is: the county
authorities appointed, not men with view
of having the roads put in order, but be-
cause they voted the Copperhcad ticket
Presenting them to the . Grand Inquest
was tried last Spring, on two or three of
these (in)famous road members, and the re-
suit was that the jury found them nat guilty
The roads are as bad within half mile of
Elkton rs the one spoken of by the 7ran-
script. There never before. i'll the history
of the county, have been as bad roads gen
orally, as there have been within the last
two years, and never before has thore been
so much money spent on them. AS an ill
supervisors transact business, 4 good Dem
ocratic neighbor related to us that he was
clt N the county, some distance from town,
recently, when he came along where the
road members were at work. There were
one cart and seven men. Five of the hands
loaded the cart with dirt, and when full,
another drove it some two or three hundred
yards and tilted its contents, where the
seventh man was stationed with 4 shovel
to level the dump. While this was going
on, the five leaders were perched upon the
fence airing themselves. That supervisor
will bring in a bill for the labor of seven
men and cart. Another trick of our SUI
pervisors is to gather up a dozen, or more
hands, and start them with shovels. This
troupe marches over several miles Of road
III day, removing shovel full of earth
here and there. And for this marching
and countermarching, the county pays I'M
der the head of road repairs. The county
is sucked to death by Copperhead vampires,
and the present Board of Commissioners

the best they can, we doubt not, but its
no use. There is only one remedy for the
disease, which is the eusting of the Cop
pcrhead party from power. Not only the
county, but the whole State is cursed with
swarm as pestlcntial as Pharoahs lice.
Follow the party and find it power where
you will, and you will find it 4 party of
biood-suckers, returning nothing for money
they spend.

Bad R0adS.-The authorities of Cecil
county should be made aware of the condi-
ton of some of the roads in the 1st district.
The road from the Delaware line, through
Warwick, is disgrace to the county. In
winter it is almost impossible, and even at
carriage, faster than a walk. As this sec
ton of road is not over mile in length, it
would not be a very costly job to ditch it
well on either side, and throw it up i'll the
middle, so that it would drain cffectually.
As it forms the main street of Warwick, it
is due to the citizens of that town, that it
should be kept in good order; and it is due
to the public generally, as well as the citi-
zens of Warwick, for it is the great
thoroughfare of the Maryland side of the
peninsula, over which all have to pass. 4
mile or two below Warwick, towards the
Head of Sassafras, are two deep and exten-
sivc sloughs which extend from side to side
of the road, and through which every tray-
ellcr must pass. How the Grand Jury fail
ed to present the supervisor of that section
of the road, at the late April term Of the
Court, we are at a loss to understand for
certainly no road ever more loudly called
for the interposition of the - Grand Inquest
of the State of Maryland inquiring for the
body of Cecil county," than that. We hope
the Elkton papers will stir up the proper
authorities in reference to these roads.

"SecOnd Cuttings" while seated in the
Office OF Davis & Pugh, lumber dealers, of
Port Deposit, one afternoon this week, we
noticed their yard hands piling some very
nice looking lumber. Inquiring what
grade they termed it, we were told it was
second cuttings The boards being broad
ana perfect III appearance we inferred that
second cuttings" must rank pretty high
in the lumber class, but on further inquiry
were informed that the technical terms used
by lumbermen to designate the different
qualities of stuff were panel, common. and
second cuttings. We are not sure that there
was not another grade between these. but
the nice looking lumber in car Door iudo-
ment, ranked quite low III Davis & Pugh's
scale OF qualities. We remembered lust
then, that this firm had been preparing an
advertisement of their business for The
Wing for-well, about three ye1rs-and we
inquired if they did not lose a good deal in
the course of year by parties who failed
to pay whom they had credited with goods.
We inferred this from the fact that that
advertisement had been so long in prepare
ton, that the same relaxation would fail
IN pushing an honest bill in the way of a
slow ustomer, and the golden fruit ofmany
golden opportunity be thus lost. An ad-
ditional consideration is advert Using in The
Wing always insures cash customers. for
we continually point out the beauties and
advantages of the cash system, believing
that the maxim of "Poor Richard,

Goes sorrowing,"
contains more truth than poetry. And lie
that don't advertise who has good articles

is potent cause of grief
