A WORD TO THE WISE.

Hard times is the universal cry, and
retrenchment seems to be the watch-word !;
and there is one item of public expense
which we have often wondered that the tax
payers of the county have borne patiently
so long we allude to the furnishing of
books and stationery, by the county, to the
Public Schools. We believe that the ma
jority of the teachers would favor the alter
alton of the law, so that each pupil would
be obliged to furnish his or her own books
etc. If a person refuse to pay the said fee,
from any cause except poverty, the teacher
is obliged to lose it, and has no redress
Now it is we'll known axiom that law
without penalty is no law at all, and there
appears to be no penalty attached to the
non payment of the ok-fee by those who
do not feel disposed to pay it. There is a
man in certain School District of this
county, who buys his children's books and
defies teachers and trustees. Suppose that
a man sends five children during the school
year he is obliged to pay the neat little
book-fee of twenty dollars. In every school
room in which we have ever taught, in this
county, we have found cast-off, half-worn-
out books sufficient to furnish half a dozen
charity schools. There seems to be nc
remedy for this for what is everybody
business is generally nobody's.

FOURTH DISTRICT ITEMS.

Lectures-Rev. T. L. Poulson delivered
splendid lecture in the St. Johns NJ. E.
Church, on Tuesday evening last. Sub
ject-"T The ups and downs of real life. ~
Proceeds to go towards paying for the new
parsonage at Zion. Rev. Johns, on Sunday
evening last, gave a very interesting
account of his visit to Princeton and other
places while away at Presbetery. His
remarks were mostly of religious char
acter-to the point and quite interesting.
Road Aending.-We notice the road
members are out this week; we are glad to
see them, and hope they will push the
good work vigorously on.
Runamay.-One of our young sporting
gentlemen let his horse get the better of
him, while out riding, few evenings
since, running up on bank, upsetting the
buggy, throwing himself and lady out,
hurting both himself and lady considerably,
and making a complete wreck of the
wagon.
Crops.-There is good prospect for
peaches, so far. If one out of every four
stays on the trees, we are sure of good
crop. Grass is short; good deal of wheat
is out in head, while the oats are about
inches high.

Accident.-A small child of Mrs. Carr fell
on sharp stick it was holding in it's hand,
and ran the point of it into it's throat, caus-
ing an alarming flow of blood ; but it was
not dangerous; on the contrary, the Dr.
considered it beneficial.
HaN.-Our societies are pushing matters
with regard to this institution. Two of
them have formed partnership we
suppose it will be the firm of Odd Pythias
& Knight Fellows. Specifications are to
he out this week. This partnership
only refers to Hall building. Each keeps
its own goat and runs its own society ma
chine.
Improvements, in general way, are the
order of the day, and loads of logs and
lumber are constantly passing through our
streets. This speaks well for hard times.
Tile Crops are looking well, but are not
so forward as would be expected, from the
mild winter. Some wheat in the neighbor-
hood is in head.
The Frost, a few evenings ago, nippcd
the tender plants.
Around.-The pickle man the patent
fan man the notion peddling man, and the
man that rides on the COW catcher.

Our City Council is far in advance of
that of Baltimore. The latter are spend
ing thousands in preparing for the Jones
Falls improvement, while ours, without
lengthy disputations, at short notice, pro-
ject, plan and execute. We have new
bridge on High street and about two hun
dred feet of new fence, which effectually
prevents bachanalians from breaking their
bones over the precipice of said street and
disturbing the arrangements of the Main
street back-yards. Our Council have also
prepared sundry wooden trunks to drain
"Green Lake." which will be laid as soon
as they arc sufficiently seasoned by the
Summer sun. Go on, good Council, the
tax-list of 1871 may be sufficient, but the
assessors for 1872 will have enough to clear
the indebtedness-y they get appointed.

LETTER FROM NORTH EAST.

NORTH EAST, May 10th, 1871.
Mr.. EDITOR A petition signed by 155
respectable citizens of North East and
vicinity was presented to Hon. f. Stump,
Associate Judge of the Circuit Court for
Cecil county, praying him to "withhold
license" for the sale of Intoxicating liquors
and beverages in North East. In reply,
they received very able and satisfactory
letter, in which he said
81 fully agree with you, that both the
licensed and unlicensed sale of Intoxicating
liquors and beverages in our community,
is great cell, and am sorry that you would
have supposed that | would have directed
the Clerk to issue license for the sale there
of, in any case in which have the right to
refuse"
The law being mandatory left no discre-
ton with the Judge, except as to the two
persons, no matter how repulsive to his
finer feelings. The honorable Judge also
states that
at imposes duty which is very dis
tasteful to me, but it is my duty to comply
with the requirements of the law.
81 have each year notified the parties to
whom have directed license to be issued,
that unless they keep houses as orderly as
the nature of the business will permit" &C.
From the nature of the law, and the pos
tive instructions to the Judge, as to issu-
ing the order to the Clerk for giving the
license to the parties, we must now submit
to the management of the business by the
agents and directors of the Road for another
year, who are as follows: For b. F. Thomas

choice pieces. The School patrons con-
Guided the physical man wanted little
food as well as the intellectual, and they
had good supply Of pound-cake, pies,
custards, lemonade and segars on hand, to
supply the wants of all persons present.
We had the best of order and nothing

to obtain schooling for their children.
They have not stopped at any expense
whatever, but pushed straight ahead in the
great work of education.
