Public Sch0Ols.-In our statement last
week of school statistics, we gave SO. 1856. &c
as the amount paid for books to furnish
the schools for the last quarter. This was
an error and it should have read "receipts
OH account of books" composed of the
dollar fee which pupils are required to pay
for admission to the schools. The Demo-
crat more fortunate than ourselves, had a
''chile among them taking notes." among
which we find that the Board resolved to
raise the salary of the Secretary, Treasurer
and Examiner-all combined in one man
to fifteen hundred dollars. This office
commenced with $500 or 5000, was raised
to $1,000, and finally to the sum above
named. 1t ought to afford a residence at
the county seat in future, for this impor-
tant office; and will be quite an object
among politicians, who will soon begin to
show their teeth at each other, and thirst
like wolves for the present incumbent's
blood. He will henceforth be required to
fight valliantly in the great Democratic
army, or be compelled to succomb to the
"claims" of some little whipper-snapper
whose Democratic record is unassailabie as
his brains.

Land-Marks.-It is wise precaution for
every land owner to have all his boundaries
we'll and permanently fixed, as the neglect
to do SO frequently causes ill-will and
wranglings among neighbors, where har-
mony and kind feelings are so indispensable
to their happiness.
Boundaries may be easily adjusted now,
that after few years more, will become
difficult and hard to settle, as the evidence
of their former locations is gradually disap-
pearing. There is not in general, much
difficulty in arriving at correct conclusions
in regard to the proper location of divisional
lines. The experienced surveyor on COM
pairing the little papers and making a
trial, can generally adjust the lines to the
satisfaction of the parties, unless they be
very unreasonable.
Parents having land intended for their
children, may save them much trouble by
fixing permanent boundaries at every cor
merit is easily done now, it may be much
more troublesome after awhile.
The Americans are said to be land
loving people, and there is no subject that
causes more bitterness OF feeling, than con-
troversies about land. Fix up your boun-
diaries in your life time, and do not leave it
for those who follow you.

A New Church.-The grounds have been
laid out and Trustees appointed for build
ing church OH the Nottingham road.
about four miles west of Elkton. Meet
ings of much interest have been held for
sometime past at the house Of Mrs. Ann
Boulden, by Mr.. Charles S. Grant, of North
East, and the building of church deter
mined OH.
There is considerable district living
between the Nottingham road and the rail-
road, commonly known as the Barrens,
that has never enjoyed much church privi-
leges, and the location of a comfortable
house of worship in that neighborhood
may prove great blessing. 1t may be
objected ON the ground that they will not
be able to pay a preacher, but there are
local preachers who will willingly gi, their
services without pay, and there is a charm
and force in such service, reminding us
of primitive times. 1t is very pleasant
nowadays to hear the religious services
closed, and be allowed to depart without
having their solemnity marred out bv an
appeal for money, which has become SO
common, and particularly on the Sabbath
day, when men in secular business suspend
their collections.

FlOaida.-Mr. II. l.. Headley, who lately
closed out his business at B. NJ. House
where he had for several years very sue
cessfully prosecuted carriage manufactur-

that sunny cline and balmy atmosphere.
We received a note from him this week
announcing the arrival of self and lady at
Jacksonville, on the St. Johns River, after
one weeks travel by sea and land. Mr.. H.
appears to be we'll pleased with Florida and
gives his first impressions in the following
ouotation which we publish from his letter:
"The climate is delightful here, and
warm December 81 as any September day
in Cecil. Peas are yet in blossom. The
residents here are preparing to make gar
den again for early vegetables, which they
plant this month. Orange trees are now
filled with ripe fruit which looks delicious
and tempting"
We hope that Mr.. Headley will remem-
Der that letter conveying the impressions
of 4 visitor from Cecil, of the climate, pro-
auctions, ETC., ETC., of region SO interest
ing rs Florida, will be perused with avidity
by the readers of The Wing, and that he
will devote spare hour occasionally in
connecting letter for our columns.

FARMERS, GET READY.-yes, get
ready for the spring campaign. Get
the plows, harrows and cultivators
ready to do their work well. If You
have them, see that they are all in
repair; new coat of paint will do
them good and it can be given them
any Of these rainy days. See that
they all have sharp teeth, SO as to
bite the soil well and thoroughly.
The thorough preparation of the soil
is half the battle towards raising a
big crop without it you can't raise
a good crop.
Get your harnesses, teams, double
tres, single trees and everything
will need, ready, so that at the
fiistopening Of spring you can take
time by the torelock and lead him
and not let1in lead you. Get your
seed ready and of the choicest and
best be sure to get clover seed ii
any of your land needs renovating.
1t makes good pasture ard it makes
good hay, if cured with care, and it
leeds the land so richly.
Ii you have not enough pasture,
get orchard grass or blue grass and
SOW as early as possible-in February
if you can. These are hardy grasses
and If stock is kept off Of pastures
after the middle OF August and these
grasses are allowed to grow up, foot
or more high, will furnish winter
pasturage for stock, and thus save SO
much cutting, curing, stacking, haul
ing and feeding Of hay. In most
winters. in this climate, stock can
thus be kept in good condition with.
out mouthful Of food and with a
little addition of feed can be kept III
prime order. See to it that you have
fine winter pastures to save your
great expense of saving hay, and
feeding it. Get ready, lay the plans
of the coming spring and summer
campaigns, and work right up to
those plans. - Colnan's Rural

There is a prom!scu0ns mixing up OF
seeds in moist soils. These will not
germinate if at a considerable depth
in average soils. Where there is
much looseness and porosi'y Of soil,
where the air and heat have a chance
to enter and penetrate, these seeds,
nearest the surface, will vegctate 3;
those deeper, removed from these
influences, will lie dormant, some
times FOR many years. Turn them
up to the light and warmth of the air
and they will at once vegetate. A
deep, close sod will prevent their
appearance hence Old pastures,
good from the start, are comparative
Is free from weeds. But let these
pastures run out, and the weeds APP
pear.
In blowing land SO as to bring these
seeds to light, there will be gcrmina-
ton, only, however, of those that lie
nearest to the surface, as stated.
This uearness is depending upon the
size of the seed. In general soils the
depth Of q to 80 dlameters Of the
seed, viii prevent quickening into
lie. Hence there are seeds lying
dormant at the first blowing OF old
soddea lands, particularly those
deepest. Another blowing will still
leave some at q depth not reached
by atmospheric influence. And so
the third blowing. But in course OF
time all the seeds will thus be brought
up to terminate, and if destroyed as
they terminate, will rid the soil OF
them. Z! his may be done in few

chance of being road twice over when the
stock of story-books is superabundant?
The fact is-and an able writer in the
Spectator put the case admirably few weeks
ago--children are in danger of being spoiled
by excessive worship. A simplifcation of
their literary pleasures and religious instruc-
ton would be step in the right direction
but we must not stop here. If we desire the
next generation to be robust one, we must
do away with the sort of luxury that does not
fall under these heads. Nursery toilettes,
nursery recreations, and the nursery commits
sariat are equally to be charged with the sin
of extrayagance and inappropriateness.
