Mr.. ED1ToR:-TheS Sabbath School Exhi-

Our population is decidedly on the increase
judging from the way the doctors travel
The corn in this vicinity is all gathered
and cribbed, except Benny's. The crop
was very good.
In regard to the weather, the Oldest
inhabitant says, he never saw it colder in
this latitude so early in the winter. As
for politics, the thing is remarkably quiet,
Democrats looking forward and without
hope.
Hoping you are we'll, Mr.. Editor. I am,

FOURTH DISTRICT ITEMS.

Did not SsH.-The farm of Mrs Sarah
Price was offered at public sale, on Tues
day last, but did not sell, the highest bid
being three Thousand dollars. At the same
time there was some stock and farming
implements sold, which brought fair prices.
De5ae.-The question, should the clause
in the 18th Article of our " Declaration of
Rights which reads, THAT the levying
of taxes by the poll is grievious and OPP
pressive,' be struck out, was warmly dis
cussed at the Hall, on Thursday evening,
and decided in the affirmative. After the
discussion it was proposed that there bs
some measures taken with reference to the
pking of the telegraph road from the
Fox Chase to the Delaware line. After
some deliberation, committee composed
Of John Sentman, Chas. A. Murphy, VIM.
Wade, j. Wildman, G. Wollaston, John
Steele, and G. Smith, was appointed to
take charge of the enterprise. 1t is to be
hoped something will be done with it, as it
is generally very bad road during the
winner ana spring.
Selling off Hay.-A great many of the
farmers in this vicinity are hauling their
hay to Wilmington at $25 per ton.
Question Answersd.-Your question with
reference to the crop of seed clover in this
section, We will endeavor to answer. After
some inquiry and observation, we hear Of
but one instance Of three bushels being
raised to the acre, and think the average
wonld not be over two.
Singing .ScAool.-A Singing school will
be organized at the Jackson Hall this, Sat-
urday night. A general invitation is
extended.

PILOT TOWN ITEMS.

Deer Hunt.-Mr. Philip Bell killed 4 fine
buck, in the village of Conowingo, last
week, which weighed 200 lbs, and had five
branches on the horns. 1t belonged to
Mr.. Bell; got in the woods; was dangerous;
and had to be killed.
New Road.-Our supervisor, Mr.. Boyle,
is opening a new road from the Lancaster
road to the road from Rock Springs to
Porter's Bridge-commenclng at Isaac
Hills, and terminating at the New Valley
School-house.
Ice.-The river is full of ice, and every
thing has the appearance of winter. From
the amount of corn there is unhusked,
we should hardly suspect that the season
of ice and snow was already upon us.
Fir Hogs.-Thcre has been a number Of
fine hogs slaughtered in this neighborhood
lately, ranging from three to Ave hHnarfd.
Accident.-Mr. Henry Reynolds, Jr..
while cutting wood at the wood pile, split
his foot with the axe.

Meeting Of the New Board.-The new
Beard Of County Commissioners met and
organized on Tuesday last. J. W. heavens
was elected President of the Board, w. T.
Miller, Clerk to the old Board, was elected
Clerk to the present Board for two years,
and Noble T. Biddle Counsel for the same
time. The Board will meet ON the 12th
inst, for general business!
COuri.-The Circuit Court will meet on
Monday next. The petit jury is never
called till Thursday, and heretofore Judge
Stump has requested us to announce that
the members Of that jury need not attend
till Tuesday. The Judge has not so direc-
ted for this term, but we presume the prac-
tice will be the same as heretofore. The
School Law provides for the appointment
of three school commissioners for the coun-
ty by the judges of the Circuit Court,
whose term of service shall begin in Janu-
airy 1872. Heretofore nine School Commits
sioners have constituted the Board, one
ted by the people. We appeal to the zoe
populi which was the more Democratic
law, the former or the present law, passed
by the last Democratic legislature, which
takes the election of their School Board
out of the hands of the people aud gives it
to the Judge of the Circuit Court
The present School Board propose to
petition the Legislature for change in
the law, which will restore nine Commits
sioners, one from each District, as at pre-
sent, but whether the petitioners will ask
to have them elected by ballot we have not
ascertaned. If the change proposed is
made and restores the election to the peo-
pie where it belongs, it is very plain that a
Republican Board will control the schools
the following term. This we presume will
constitute sufficient reason for continuing
the appointing power in the hands of the
Circuit Judge.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

Mr.. EwING:-Knowing that your col
umns are always open to any communica-
ton bearing upon the great cause of pop
ular education, venture to send you the
subjoined account Of the proceedings of
the Teachers Association, which met in
the old academy building, at Port Deposit,
upon the first Saturday of the present
month.
There were present eleven teachers-five
from the It'll, three from the 9th, and three
from the 9th District. Our worthy Exam
liner and the live Commissioner of the
It'll District were also present.
scholarly essay upon Language was
read by the President, E. S. Quigley, ESQ.,,
written in his usual clear and forcible style,
and being delivered with proper attention
to the principles of elocution, it was quite
treat. He was followed by Prof. McClin-
took in an able and eloquent impromptu
address, in which was set forth the endur-
ing nature Of the teachers work-its
sacredness, and the responsibility of the
teachers position; and each one was
exhorted to renewed faithfulness in tho
discharge of his and her duties. The
speaker was fain to confess the love he bore
toward the calling, and he had ever reaped
a rich reward in the love and gratitude of
his pupils.
The discussion Of the question, "Should
Education be General or Specific? ?" was
next in order, but owing to the absence of
one of the opponents, was dismissed with
out being debated upon. The reading of
"Parrhasius by Miss Alice A. Coale,
closed tho literary exercises, and the Asso-
citation adjourned to meet at the same hour
(half past one), in the same place, upon
the first Saturday in January, when, it is
to be hoped, that not only the teachers of
the several Districts, but the friends of
education generally, will be in attendance.
The proposed order of exercises for the
next meeting, is the discussion of the
question, "Should Grammar be taught in
our common schools, or only in our High
Schools and Colleges "a question now
being very generally discussed in the scho-
lastic world. The literary exercises are to
consist of an original essay by Miss Mate
Roberts, and of choice selections by Misses
Vandiver, Stephenson and Wilson. Prof.
Watts was also appointed to drill class in
reading.
When shall we have regularly organ
lied Institute ? Other States are SO alive
to their Importance, that they impose a
heavy fine upon all teachers failing to
attend.
