The Democratic Nominees.

The Democratic State Convention met
at the New Assembly rooms, Baltimore, on
Wednesday last, and nominated the follow
ing ticket Hon. VIM. Pinkney Whyte, of
Baltimore, for Governor; Hon. A. X.
Syestcr, of Washington county, for Attor-
ney General and Hon. Levin Woolford, of
Somerset, for Comptroller of the Treasury.
The Convention "dodged " any expression
of opinion on the "New Departure" and
succeeded in being very harmonious by
remaining mum. Our Maryland Democracy
care but little about anything but the loaves
and fishes. There is no charm in any prin-
ciple, new Or old, that will compare in their
eyes with the shine of greenback. Depart
in peace, SO that you leave us the fat of
office. To make brick without straw has
no terrors for them, if they are only allowed
free access to the Egyptian fiesh-pots.

THE MIMIC WoRLD.-This new book, by
Olive Logan, which treats of stage life,
a subject she is acknowledged universally
to be the first writer of the present day,
on, is being issued by the New World Pub
fishing Company, Seventh and Market Sts.,
Philadelphia.
The name of Olive Logan is as famli ar
to our people as household words, while
her fine talents, as brilliant and chaste
writer, are universally known and acknowl-
edged. AS a lecturer and writer ON stage
matters, any work coming from her hand
will be received without further endorse
ments for the purity of morals, and refine
ment of thought. 1t will doubtless be
gratifying to the many admirers of Miss
Logan in this county, who have read her
" Before the Foot-Lights and Behind the
Scenes" or heard her racy and brilliant
lecture on /" Girls" to learn that her last
work, "The Mimic World" is now being
sold in this county by Mr.. A. B. Paul, who
is the authorized agent for the sale of the
work i'll Cecil.

SCRIBNER's MONTHLY FOR AUGUST
"What Are They Doing at Vassar ," is the
suggestive title of the opening article i'll
Scrt5ner's Monthly for August. The au-
thor, Rev. II. II. Mcfarland in answer to
the above question, presents the results of
his own recent Investigations into the meth
DDS and progress of this, the most impor-
tant institution of the kind in the world,
and his report-which is profusely Illus
trated with pictures of the handsome build
ings and beautiful grounds of Vassar-is
exceedingly interesting and satisfactory.
J. T. ueadley, the celebrated author, gives
lively description of Life in the Cauca-
sus,' sketching Gypsies and all manner of
strange wanderers who roam that ancient
and outlandish country.
But by far the ablest paper in the pres
ent number is DR.. Mary C. Putman's
account of g Some of the French Leaders,
embracing sketch of the Provisional Gov
eminent of September 4th, 1870. Miss
Putnam "a daughter of the we'll known
publsher) remained in Paris during the
siege, devoting herself to the care of the
wounded in the hospitals. Her analysis of
the character and motives of such men as
Trochu, Rochefort, Jules Ferry, Ernest
Picard, Gambctta. Jules Favre, GARNER
Pages, and Jules Simon, is something Won
derful.
Among the other articles are pleasant
and seasonable account by Benson J. Los
sing, of "The Weeping Willow" showing
when and how the tree was first brought
to American " Peter Crisp, COMIC Epi-
sode of Italian Travel" by H. T. Tucker
man, and "a Visit to the Great Yosemite. "
The poetry is by Elizabeth Akers allen, G.
p. Lathrop, and Charlotte f. Bates. Mr..
Bush furnishes some amusing pencil remin-
iscences of Mount Washington, to the De-
partment of Etchings while the Editorial
Departments are, as usual, exceedingly full
and entertaining. In" Home and Society
we are told how to make Ices, and how to
handle Cut Flowers while "Queen sum-
mer" and Delsarte's Art of Expression arc
gracefully and humorously treated. In
Couture and progress Abroad " and cat
Home" there is an abundance of literary
scientific, and art notes. IScribner's grows
in present interest and permanent value.

Peninsular and State Items.
DELAWARE,

The barn of William Brady, near Middle
town, was destroyed by fire, on Thursday
night, 18th inst, together with its contents,
consisting of 10 tons of hay, 100 bushels Of
corn, wagons, 1000 peach baskets, all
his harness, sc. Mr.. Brady's wheat stacks
were near by, but the wind blew the flames
in an opposite direction. His tenant house
caught fire from the flames of the burning
barn, but was extinguished without much
damage. Mr.. Brady's loss is about SO, 800,
upon which there is probably an insurance
of $500.
The county assessment for this year is
SIS, 025, 431. The tax for the support of
public schools is laid at 24i cts. in the 800,
making the sum of $40, 6G2. 26; last year
the levy for the same purpose was SIG, O43.-
so, making an increase this year of So, 61S.-
76. In addition to this amount, S1,716.24
has been levied to liquidate claims against
the school commissioners for material and
work done on school houses. For the pay
17s cts, the required amount for this year
being $4,000. For other county expenses
is levied 464 cts.-making in all for pay
ment of county expenses 80 cts, in 500.
The State tax is 194cts, which added to
the county tax ofS9 cts, makes the total
tax 1881 cts. Last it was 10.

The colored NJ. E. Church are to hold a

commencing on Friday, August 4th.
Denton and vicinity has five churches,
with population of 400, all told, to attend
them.
The public schools will be reopened Sep
TENDER 4th.
On the night of the 18th inst, the barn
of Esma Lowe, near Greensborough, was
burned by lightning. Three horses also
persisted in it. On the same evening the
stackyard of Curtis Morris, near White
leysburg, was consumed by lightning,
destroying all his wheat crop.
On Friday, the 18th inst, the execution
of Fred Larence, the negro convicted of the
murder of Emeline Handy, took place at
Easton. Sometime since he confessed his
guilt. On ascending the scaffold he said:
Il am on the road to Cananan. Take
warning. l am on my way home. Thank
God, the Sheriff and the madam have been
very kind to me. l have no unkind feel
ings in my heart against any one. Lord
save my soul, Lord save my SOUL" About
5000 people assembled to witness the
affair. The Gazette closes it's account with
the following: son this occasion, there
could be seen young girls, quite large num-
bers too crowding through the deep ranks
of men to get sig ht of the body as it fell
or was in the last agonies of death. What
shock to refinement, to modesty and
religion, are public executions, and de-
moralizer to community.
