RepNir the ROadS,-A correspo

tepAif tnt hOaus'-h correspondent OF
the Lancaster Inquirer, makes the follow
ing sensible suggestions:
"Everybodys business is quite apt to
become nobodys business. Travellers
through almost every section of the coun-
try find this often to their cost, in the
state of the roads. faded horses, broken
vehicles, mud beskatterea clothing, and
limbs weary and sore from inaessant ;oits,
are the almost certain attendants OF any
extended journey by private conveyance
But the Inconvenience of bad roads to the
occasional traveller is trifling, compared
with the loss and annoyance suffered by
residents of the neighborhood The dis
cOuraged traveller may take the railway
car, or the steam, boat, but there is no
escape for those living in the locality
Every visit to a neighbor, every trip to
mill, store, or to meeting, involves loss
of time, comfort and patience, together
with much useless wear and tear of run
ming gear. After few months, the au-
tumnal rains, aud alternate freezing and
thawngs will render roads already out of
repair, almost impossible. We should not
neglected bad spots adjoining our premises,
because our road tax is already worked
out, or the road master is remiss. A days
work on the road will often save a costly
job at the wagon makers, Examine all
bridges and sluices. See that thsre are no
obstructions to water courses that will
cause dangerous icy slides the coming win
ter. Take advantage also of every oppor-
tunity to turn the rich ~aah off the road
upon your own premises, and so arrange
channels that it may be distributed widely,
and not form an unslightly embankment
near the FENCE where it empties into the
field. Let everybody see that his business
in this respect is attended to, and then
pobodys will bs neglected

GREELEY ON DEMOcRACY.-That the
Greeleyites in this locality may not be mis-
taken in regard to Mr.. Greeley's views of
the Democratic party, we publish the fol-
lowing taken from the New York Tribune.
1t appeared in that paper few years ago:
"Point wherever you pie4es to IN cleo
ton district which you will pronounce NOR
ally rotten-given up in great part to de-
bauchery and vice-and that district will
be found at nearly or quite every election,
giving a large majority for that which
styles itself the democratic party.
"Take all the haunts of debauchery in
ths land and you will find nine-tenths of
their master spirits active participants of
that same Democracy.
May it be nritten on my grace that
neper aoas a .follorer, and Tired and died, in

The Sabbath School Jubilee Parade
which took place in Wilmington, On Thurs-
day last, was one Of the grandest affairs
that has ever been witnessed in Delaware.
The small children composing the infant
classes ofthe various churches were all con.
veyed to the grove in covered wagons and
carriages, labelled with the name Of the
churches. festooned with national flags, and
adorned with flowers and other devices
The procession moved ABOUT 81 O'clock,
and presented most beautiful and inter-
esting sight. It was about two miles in
length. taking 10 minutes in passing and
contained about four thousand children
Many Of the stores, shops, and places of
business, were closed during part Of the
day, and the people generally seemed
absorbed III the movement.

Returning reason seems 10 he c0nvinc-
ing a large number of the striking work
men in New York that they have been pur-
suing an idiotic policy. Several of the
trades are slackening in enthusiasm and
abandoning the attempt to coerce employ
ers into the eight-hour movement. That
the men should voluntarily show DISPOSE
ton to 60 baok to ti.s factcriss an the old
terms is the best ending of the trouble for
all parties concerned.

PORT DEPOSIT ITEMS.

Owing to the rain, our Episcopal
friends held their Strawberry Festival, at
Odd Fellows Hall, instead of at Col.
Smithson's. The berries and cream receiv-
cd an added flavor from being served by
such fair ladies as those who donned the
"bib and tucker" for the evening.
Our Band gave two entertainments at
the Hall, which were fairly attended. The
Music was excellent, and the plays well
rendered. OF course Barry's songs were
deserved!y applauded. 1t is said that they
intend producing the play Of ''The Stran-
ger" in July.
-Sanford's Ministries gave us two even

People have preference for negro min
strels, especially those who don the white
hat and brown ribbon, although they
dislike Cuffee in any other place. Strange,
isn't it?
The Methodist Mite Society propose a
concert of home material, in few weeks
as soon as it is hot enough. They did talk
of Festival, but the sober-second thought
gave the idea that voices cost less than
berries.
Mrs. Murphy has repaired the bridge
AT Cooks store. and thereby removed an
unsightly chasm. Mrs. NJ. has also beauti-
fed her yard by surrounding it with a
bacdcnrna wooden fame.
Some time since GEluc knocked down
the creaking sign of the Washington
House. Mine host, Thompson, has had it
replaced by neat oval sign, which is a
decided Improvement.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Local Miscellany.-Dr. Willitts will
deliver his lecture on "Moonshine, or
Popular Illusion" at Middletown, Del, on
Wednesday next.
The June term of Court will commence
on Monday, June 18th. The Judge will
not be present until Thursday.
Owing to sickness, Rev. Mr.. Matlack
was unable to preach in Elkton last Sab
bath, as announced. Rev. Mr.. Thompson
filled the pulpit in the morning.
The fire engines are to be overhauled
and put in working order.
Vegetables of all kinds are scarce and
high in our market.
The dedication of the Methodist Pro-
testant Church, at Fair View, in this county,
on last Sabbath, was a very pleasant SER
vice. Rev. G. Moore, who had donated
the land, and in large measure built the
Church, delivered the property over to the
Society, when it was duly dedicated. A
very able sermon was preached by Rev. Dr.
Murray. There was no begging; but
liberal collection was asked for, and receiv-
ed. The Church is very plain, but neat,
frame building, and will supply great
need of the neighborhood.
In all cases of diarrhoea, dysentery, etc.,
perfect rest should be enjoined, which adds
more to the removal of difficulty than the
too frequent use of medicine.
Workmen have been engaged this week
cleaning our streets.

A Cruel Deception.

| A little while ago there was fancy fai
at Brussels. The object Was a charity, an
the ladies who kept the stalls did some thing
which ladies as a rule avoid doing. 1t j
supposed, Of course, that the poor ought no
to be deprived Of money that can be got b.
any means not involving positive improprie
ty. In this way kisses have been sold at fairs
and in this way at Brussels, a lady sold, Oh
was supposed to have sold, part Of her beau
tiful trcsscs. A gentleman passing her stall
was greatly attracted by the fair saleswoman's
charms, and gallantly demanded to know
the price of one of the locks hanging from
her chignou. Now the lady has husband,
and thinking it right to consult him on the
subject, she managed to postpone the nego-
tiation until the next day. The husband
said that money for the poor ought not to be
turned away, but with pious fraud, his hair
being like his wifes, light brown, he cut a
lock from his own head and gave it to her
Next day the enamorcd purchaser received
this lock and paid an extremely high price
for it.
So far, all was we'll, but the happy couple
were subsequently indiscrcct. They could
not resist whispering the delicate secret to
just one or two amused friends. Presently
the deceived admircr heard that he had
been dupcd, and was being very much laugh
ed at. His displeasure now expressed itself
in very disagreeable manner. In Belgium
deceit in the quality or nature Of any article
sold, exposes the vendor to very severe pun!
ishment. The gallant Belgian, who seems
as warm in fighting as in loving, has actual
ly summoned both husband and wife into
court, and they will hc compelled to swear
whether the hair sold was not the genuine
article the lady professcd it to be. The al:
fair is producing lively excitement, and
the trial which was just about to begin, at
last accounts, will be eagerly watched. I'm
doubtedly the deluded purchaser, like all
who come to grief through the tender pas
sion, deserves certain share of sympathy,
but, really a man who could have the folly
to believe in the genuincness Of any hair de-
pending from a cnignon in these days, will
be none the worse for lesson that will teach
him to be less crcdulous in future.
