Burglary. daring thieves visited
our town on the evening of the Goth inst,
and affected an entrance into the store and
dwelling of Mr.. Amos Spencer, and also
int the bed chamber of Mr.. Adams,
(butcher,) carrying off his watch and the
contents of his pocket book, some $12.
They got into Mr.. Spencers dwelling
through a window of the dining room, and
entered the apartment where Mrs. Spen-
Ger and another lady were sleeping, taking
several silk dresses-some of them unfin-
ished, velvet sack, shawls, watches, jew
elry,-and rifled pocket-boek that was in
one of the dresses of its contents,-some
$15; took the store key from bureau and
went into the store, but it is presu med that
little dog in the store must have alarmed
them, as nothing was taken from the store
except some So in small change. Neither
of the robberies were discovered until day
light, and no clue whatever to the perpe-
trators.-Harre Republican.

Important 10 House CleanefS.-AS the
season of house cleaning is at hand, the
following directions for cleaning paint may
be found serviccable:
''Provide Il plate with some Of the best
whiting to be had, and have ready some
clean warm water and piece of flannel,
which dip into the water and squeeze near
ly dry: then take as much whiting as will
adhere TO it. apply it to the painted surface,
when a little rubbing will instantly remove
any dirt or grease. After which wash well
with clean water, rubbing ii dry with soft
flaRnels. Paint thus cleaned, looks as well
as when first laid on, without any injury to
the most delicate colors. 1t is far better
than using soap, and does not require more
than half the time and labor.

The Public Scho0ls.-The Commission
ers of the Public Schools were in session on
Tuesday last, settling up the business of
the Spring term, which ended April 18th,
and which closes the Public Schools till the
1st of September next.
Considerable business was transacted by
detail, having failed to get a copy of the
minutes.
The quarterly report shows the salaries
of teachers and assistants for the entire
county to amount to SO, 227, the amount of
book fees collected during the term was
81, 20O.05. The report does not show the
number of scholars attending school in all
the Districts the number of pupils having
been omitted in the First District.
\ spicy dunnins letter from Kelly, Piet
& Co., book publishers of Baltimore, which
stated in substance that the payments from
the County School Boards were so uncer-
tain that it was question whether such
custom was not more of an injury than a
for books, etc, amounted to $7G9 which
had been owing for a considerable length
of time. The vote of the President and
Secretary on behalf of the Board was given
Messrs. Kelly, Pet & Co., for 90 days
Numerous bills due by the Boards for books,
stationery, building school houses, etc.
were presented and passed. The indebted
ness Of the Board amounting to upwards
of $4,000 which there is no funds
to meet, except what are secured by the
precarious mode of borrowing at a ruinous
rate of interest
There were, as usual, several petitions
before the Board asking for the erection of
new School Houses. Some of these petit
tions were backed by a strong lobby, but
the decision of the Board was that they
had no means to build School houses. and
no law empowering them to do so without
means so the question of building new
School houses seems to be postponed very
decidedly till the present debt resting on
the School Board is reduced, and funds are
collected sufficient to continue the business
of building School houses sufficient to sup
ply all parts of the county The School
tax for the present year is % cents on the
hundred dollars, and in order to put the
Board cut of debt, and enable the business
of Public Education to be established OH
firm foundation, and move on untrammeled
by debt, it should be at least 25 cents next
year. 1t is useless to expect to conduct the
business of Public School properly on a
stinted revenue. The tax for their support
must be liberal and then the full benefit
from the Schools will be rsaped.
