The Peninsula Academy, Again.-A

The Peninsula Academy, Again.-A
meeting, on this subject, was held at the
Court House, on last Wednesday evening
About fifteen or twenty persons were
present participating in the discussion.
John Partridge, Esq, was called to the
chair. After considerable conversation on
the subject, it was determined, on the
sense of the meeting, that it will be proper
to appoint committee to visit Whining
ton, on Wednesday next, the 10th inst, to
represent to the members of tho Commits
sion having the matter in charge, the
advantages of Elkton as proper location
for the institution.
With that view, the meeting was adj
iourned to meet again this evening (Satur-
day, the 9th inst., to secure larger atten-
dance of the citizens before appointing
the Committee.
The presence of but one member of the
Methodist Church, beside Mr. Ellis, was q
subject of remark. 1t is hoped and expect
ed that the members of that Church will
exhibit more decided interest in the
enterprise, if they expect the citizens gen.
orally to take hold of it.
Premium COlts-Our enterprising breeder
of bleoded stock, Mr.. Charles A. Muir
phey, of the 4th District, offers the follow
ing premiums for colts from his trotting
stations, Sir Cecil and Arlington:
For the best colt or filly from Cecil, in the
month of May, 1878, 800; For I'd best, $40;
and third best, $50. For best Arlington
colt, at the same time, $50; I'd best, $40;
and third best, $50. These are liberal
offers, and evince the true spirit, which if
perseveringly extended would soon stock
the farms of Cecil county with a breed of
horses, which in average money value
would exceed three times that of the pres
ent stock of Junk heads. Large, sound
mares Of good build and carriage bred to
such horses make the very best and tough
est work and carriage horses; and pair of
fine carriage horses from such cross will
readily bring thousand dollars and
upwards, to two or three times that price.
Such horses are always in demand, the
supply being always short, and they cost
no more to raise than the $3.50 link-heads,
which are so common.
Farmers are inveterate grumblers at their
hard lot and small pay, and yet how many
do we see breeding rough, clumsy, and
perhaps diseased mares to some scrub,
which is only fit for dray, because such
an animal is handy, and his services can be
purchased for s5 or $40, thus losing time,
labor and forage. A colt out of good
mare and thoroughbred horse, is worth
more than one from the same mare and
scrub. At three years old, the former will
be worth five or six hundred dollars, in all
probability, while the latter will not COM
mand more than $3.50 or 5000. The diff
ference in the cost is the amount between
$40 and $50. When sire or dam together are
not worth more than $500 or $500 dollars
nothing is more certain than that the colts
Of such stock will pay but a low figure for
their raising. This principle holds good
with all kinds of stock. If improvement is
hoped for, the male parent must be thor
ough-bred; or the offspring, in nine cases
out of ten, will show the low ancestry and
scrub breed.

Throwing Dice for a Bailiff.-In the

Throwing Dice Tor BalllH.-ln the
town of Church Hill, Queen Anno's county,
three Town Commissioners were recently
elected. When that important officer, the
Bailiff, come to be chosen, each Commits
sioner had his favorite, and neither would
yield the "claims" of his friend. An cleo
ton under the circumstances was impossi-
bic, and the dice box was appealed to to
decide the contents, and the game forth
with commenced. DR.. Newman proved
the lucky winner of the Bailiff stake, and
one John II. Ruth was chosen to fill that
important Office. AS the same difficulty
may occur with our new Board, we suggest
that the same mode would seem to recon-
mend itself as one of the "eternal fitness
of things" that frequently occur in the
course of human events.'
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1871-05-06

Town ElectiOns.-The annual election
for seven Town Commissioners for Elkton
was held on Monday last, but no interest
was taken by the citizens, and the election
was allowed to 60 by default. A few of
the small grog politicians seemed to have
the entire management of the machine"
About 80 votes were cast for their ticket,
and perhaps dozen scattering. 1t is need
less to add that the ticket these engineers
were running was headed democratic.
After the ticket was counted out in due
form, it was announced that J. A. Howard,
Morris Dunbar, John B. Dunbar, A. G.
Tuite, W. R. Gilpin, DR.. c. NJ. Ellis and
Thos. Bremen were elected Town Com
missioners for the ensuing year.
We hope the new Board, having become
convinced Of the fallacy of appointing
Bailiff will consult the interest of the tax
payers and dispense with the services of
that functionary, and try the contract plan.
We would not hesitate to give bond that
more useful work can be accomplished in
previous years.
A corporation election was held at Cecil
ton on the same day that the Elkton cleo
ton took place. There it appears to have
been party contest. The following des-
patch to The Wing announced the result
CECILToN, May LIST, 1871.
+. E: EWING, ESQ. Il write to let you
khow that the Republican ticket for Town
commissioners of Cecilton has been elected
winch is a great victory. Those elected
are Samuel Hall, John Morris. ]. Mitchell
Beaston, Geo. w. Taylor and Samuel Allen
all true Republicans.
Inc ilquor license question was decided
by 40 votes against to for license.
The above note on the license question is
an indication of the drift of public opinion
on the rum traffic, and points to the solu-
ton of the temperance problem in relation
to politics. If it was referred to each town
and District to determine for itself whether
the sale of spirituous liquors should be
licensed and conducted within its limits.
scarce grog shop would be left standing
outside of the large cities. When narrowed
down to a local question, it loses its party
power, and would fall without perceptible
effort.

ON THE FARM.
From early morn till dewy eve
We WELD the plough and hoe;
Amidst the pleasing tolls we leave
Our thoughts Of care and woe;
We trust no fortune but we make
Whatever luck we covet,
We ask no favors-neither take
Our labor, yes we love it.
From early morn till dewy eve
We WELD the scythe and rake;
And ask no better lot TO have
Than health and toiling make.
Amid the sunshine and the shower,
Amid the rain and sleet;
Mind with muscle is the power,
That all our wants well meet.
From early morn till dewy eve
We toll and gather in;
We have no heaps Of wealth to gricve-.
Such as the rich men win.
But cows, and bees, and heathful fruits,
And treasures of the soil;
Kind nature contributes,
The sure reward Of earnest toll.

4 "RANTUMSCOOT"


To the Editor of the Kenne6ec Journal:
We yesterday (the 10TH took push across
a few towns in Waldo Co., and l will note
down few things that came under observa.
ton. Starting at Searsport the fields looked
green and foliage abundant and Of good color.
Through Evansville there was some change,
and the effects Of dryness and grasshoppers
were apparent, though but little compared
to what we found farther back. Through
Brooks and Knox the vegetation is but little
injured as yet except upon high hills and
ridges. An increase in numbers Of the shop
pers" is apparent and they are beginning to
''be burden" Thorndike is suffering some
more from their ravages, and when we passed
into the town of Troy, we had fairly entered
the region ofdrought and plague of choppers"
Fields look as dead as though green carpet
ings of luxuriant grass never covered their
tawny faces. In some places the sod even
has been eaten away by these s'devourers,"
and trees stripped of their leaves. The peo-
pie of these sections tell us they are fast dis
appearing. Grain had to be cut early for
fodder to save it from these pests, and corn in
many instances is ruined. Potatoes were
looking fairly along our route and Of fruit
there will be enough for home use, judging
from what was seen. We are partly in pur-
suit Of some stock, and you may Judge Of our
success by remark made by my companion
that ''the only green thing in Troy is the man
who goes there to buy stock cheap" Those
who have meadows, or intervales are the for
tunate ones, in years like this, and in fact any
year. The meadows and intervales are be-
ginning to be priced, and their value, all over
the older sections, is rapidly advancing.
Wehad refreshing shower this morning and
the thirsty ground is refreshed BY the plenti.
full out-pouring. Where the drought has been
so severe, two years in succession, the rzos-
pect for another years hay crop is not fat
tering. 1t only needs another open winter to
finish the determination of the few Erelish
grass roots left.
1t we'll behooves farmers to prepare for
years like this by higher manuring of smaller
areas, clean culture, and planting of some
special forage crep to be cultivated and &C.
cured to lengthen out deficiencies. We have
practiced the skinning process on large sur
faces till the exhaustion of the soil and poor
returns consequent, are a source of discour-
agement, and are to be deplored. We have
got to turn a new leafin our farming calendar
and write thereon new and better method
wherein there are brains, as well as muscle.
