Farewell, dear mother, thou has gone crest,
And left us with an aching breast;
IT'S hard to think thou didst so soon depart,
And leave us with breaking heart.
And thou art gone, my mother dear,
From sin and sorrow free:
Those two bright eyes i'll death are closed,
That ofttimes gazed on me.
She served so well while on this earth
More than vain or strength was given;
We know that she has gone to rest,
To have home in Heaven.

Mr.. Ew1NG-Dear iSir:-Funerals are
largely attended in this sectiou Of Cecil,
and It's worthy of notice, respecting the
funeral of Mr.. Nicholas Wilson, that the
order of knights of Pythias, of North
East, numbering nearly 40, paid all due
respect to the deceased, as member. Form
ing in possession they conveyed the body
to Principle NJ. E. Church, and after ap-
propriate services in the Church; deposited
the lifeless remains Of their deceased
brother in the grave, using the impressive
ceremonies of the Order. Fraternity,
Charity and Love, based on Friendship,
were declared as principles of their organi-
cation, cementing the hearts of the men,
bers. The effect was very fine, and in
huenced good upon all who for the the first
time witnessed the ceremonies Of tine
Order.

Port Deposit Items.

Too Bad.-A few nights since, an elderly
female, whose business it is to serve out
milk, to her regular customers, was subject
ed to loss and personal injury. This old
woman serves milk, twice daily; about noon,
then at eve. was while in discharge Of
her occupation, the night being dark, some
vicious boys, about Middletewn, stretched
wire in proximity to door they knew
she must enter The milk woman received
severe fall and lost all her milk. Such
conduct merits reprimand, and evinces
pretty high deg~ee of depravity in princi-
Piles or morals.
Found.-The gardner, who suddenly dis
appeared, as mentioned in last weeks Wig
was found few miles above Port Deposit,
on the line of the P & B. c. r. R., last
Friday morning by employees of the road,
in the same state as when he left home
and was returned to his home.
FIsh.-During the prevalence of the late
mild weather, nearly every day, and some
times twice day, barrows of fresh pike,
moccasins, mullsts, club, &C., were trun-
died through the town. The pike selling,
generally at ten cents per pound, the 9TH
srs at 20 and 25 cents per bunch. The late
cold snap, placed an embargo upon the pis-
catorial traders, and the scaly tribe are, for
the nonce invisible.
Rain-More Rain.-The river is high
and much drift wood passing, some of
which, is drawn ashore by parties to be
hereafter used for fuel. 1t is mostly Of an
inferior quality. The time, when an en-
tsrprising individual could, by means of
beat and hook, secure almost enough lum-
Der, in plank and rafters, to build himself
a comfortable shanty, or prove to be the
commencement of a more pretentious build
ing, is only talked Of now, as of the thing
past and gone.
22d.-On Washingten's Birthday the
Public Schools were closed-net SO the
places of business. The male juveniles
wendell their several ways to skating local
tiles, principally to the "los pond," to ell
Joy themselves. There is much floating
icy in the river, and although we have not
heard of any persons securing quantum
of the article for, even private use, some
are sanguine, still, of procuring enough
for sale during the ensuing summer.
Lecture.-G. A. Gsrse, NJ. D., delivered
a lecture, to crowded audience, in Abra-
hams Hall, on Wednesday evening. The
medical gentleman, in endeavoring to in
troducs new system Of treatment, and to
convince the assemblage that most Of the
diseases hitherto considered incurable, are
easily, and rapidly cured; only partially
succeed as far as the argument or reason
ing went. Some persons remained skepti-
cal, preferring the old established usage.

A Letter to the Editor.
"BAYARD' TEACHERS OWN DEFENSE"

"BAYARD's TEACHERS OWN DEFENCE
CHESAPEAKE CITY, Feb 22d, 1870.
Mr. Editor You think tho teacher
"twitted was able to take her own part
but l am inclined to think you do not
"practice what you PREACH" you say some
communications are too personal l would
like you to inform me what could have been
more personal than that communication,
two weeks ago. You suffered an indirect
assertion to be published that the "Teach-
set" Now, Mr.. Editor, what do you think
Of tho assertion, or do you call it a little
Humorous sarcasm l, sir. do not con-
slider anything witty that interferes with
ones reputation, for if you steal my purse
you steal trash, my reputation is something
that can not be replaced. l judge the
source from which that assertion sprung,
it was envy at the prosperity of Bayard
School. Now the Bayard Teachers cannot
boast of "beauty but it is noticeable fact
that "beauty and talent are seldom found
in the same person" The next indirect
assertion was ten being present; now, Mr..
Ewing, do you think it was very gentle
manly in any one to write an assertion of
that kind, it was the truth, as far as it
went, but net the entire truth. We had
eight times ten present but he wished to
insinuate over the county that the Bayard
teachers were waning i'll popularity. So
you see at one glance had he been in COM
pany with Annals and Sapphire that he
too would have been carried out for deceav-
ing or leaving a wrong impression. The
next wrong Inference was to the "big boys"
spelling. That was the truth as far as it
went, but would not many who read the
communication think that was all the words
they could spell Now, Mr.. Editor, what
do YOU call that witty sarcasm" | think
it might be properly styled "devilish sar-
casm.' l will not refer to the bogus pre-
miums. 1t has been too we'll tested in refer
encc to the quality of these. But as you
seemed inclined to think was able to de-
fend myself, and as you have been shame
fully personal to the Bayard Teachers for
to relieve my own pupils i'll way of ex-
planning this letter of two weeks ago, l
penned the above letter. Hoping that you
will not think it too personal.
Yours Respectfully,
MARTHA BIDDLE.

Religious.-On Sunday last the annual
missionary collection was taken in the NJ.
E. Church Of this town, and amounted to
$123.00. In the afternoon the Sunday
school held its missionary anniversary, and
the amount of its contributions during the
year amounted to the nice little sum of
$113, in round numbers. The school did
better on this occasion, than ever before.
