&c But let love be without Discrimination.
Mr.. EDIToR:-In your last issue we
notice paragraph in the North East items
which reads thus:
Religious-On last Sabbath, in the
absence of the pastor of the NJ. E. Church,
Rev. John Ford preached in the morning,
and Mr.. Kyle had charge in the evening"
Now we do not wish to be understood as
criticising or fault-finding, but for the cool
ness in which the matter was treated, we
just wish to state the fact that the Mr.. Kyle
spoken of was legally appointed by the
Quarterly Conference as licensed exhorter,
and as such, was in discharge Of his duty,
by appointment. But because he belongs
to the faculty of Rolling Millers. he could
not be recognized in his official capacity
1t is an evident fact that Rolling Mill chill
dren cannot attend Sabbath school in North
East, with any degree of satisfaction, as
the finger of scorn is pointed at them by
the little aristocracy of the town; hence
but few of the Rolling Mill children attend
the school.
From the foregoing paragraph, it is not
difficult for the inquiring mind to ascertain
where this spirit of aristocracy arises. Is
it not from the parents Of those children,
and leaders of the church? Now we hold
that it is the duty of all parents to teach
their children to loye their neighbors as
themselves, and not to cultivate in them a
spirit like that of the Pharisee, who thanked
his God that he was not like the poor pub
lican.
We would also respectfully request that
your worthy correspondent of Elk Neck
would give us his modus operandi of
spreading lime. He informs us he landed
and spread fifteen hundred bushels, in
one day, with three teams. Will he
please inform us if it was quick lime Or
Stacked? AS we use considerable of the
article, the information would be very
instructive, and thankfully received
AS we have never discovered how to spread
quick lime correctly as it should be, and as
a general thing the farmers of Cecil county
put about 40 bushels of quick lime per
acre; consequently, according to his expe-
rience of quick lime, three teams would
land and spread 37l acres per day; or if
forty-five bushels per acre, 33a acres; if
fifty bushels per acre, 30 acres per day;
which vastly exceeds anything in our expe-
rence.

Snow and very cold weather have pre-
dominated in this latitude for some days.
The mercury rs reported to have fallen to
zero, and the weather feels as if it had
staid there.
Tho friends of Mr.. Tome will be glad
to learn of his rapid convalescence. He
has even ventured into his Office, and will

Spring will bring warmth to our now frozen

Some prowling vagabond, a short time
since, cut with a knife, through the coat
and vest of Mr.. Charles Martin, near Odd
Fellows Hall, as he was passing, without

Another enterprising fellow, whose
errand was not bc.otless, took a pair of new

Elcock, has entered upon his duties as pas

gresation to his church, when it is COM
pleted, in the early Spring.

AT the town election, held Feb. Goth,

occupy the post of the retired alderman
1t is said that the town is to be treated to
a new charter, by the present Legislature,
which provides for an increase of two men,
beers of the Board of Commissioners, and
will allow those persons, adjoining the
town, part of whose town property is sub
ject to tax, to vote at town elections. None
but the Board are thought to know any
other changes. The heel of a Legislative
session is good time for the knowing to
spring questions.

" To Beat Grant"

Schurz is reported as saying in the Sen
ate: 81 shall not go over to the Democrats.
| have never thought of gong over to The
Democrats, and do not think of it now;
but what do think of, is this, that there
will be an opportunity of opposing the re-
election of the President without voting
for Democratic candidate. ] think there
will be an opportunity OF voting for as
good Republican as there is on this floor
without voting for General Grant
The one name of in(amy in American
history is that of Benedict Arnold But
Arnold did not propose to g" over to the
British lines. He could have rendered the
enemy very trivial service by doing So
What he did propose was to beat Wash
ington, who had incurred his displeasure.
This could be best done by helping the
British 20 break the American lines. Ac-
cordinSly, instead of going frankly and
openly over to the British, Benedict Az
mold staid in West Point and kept the
American flag floating bravely over him,
while he plotted to ovcrwhelm the patriot
forces in order to beat Washington. He
had as little sympathy with the Red Coats
as Schurz has with the Democrats. but his
hate was at white heat to beat Washing
ton, Just as that of Schurz is to beat Grant.

he did while fghing to uphold it. and so
does Schurz. But with Arnold patriotism
and manliness gave way before his person.
al resentment, and he fully expected to
escape infamy by success. but he was dis
appointed. as Schurz will be.
81 shall not go over TO the Democrats, J"
says Schurz. Formally, Of course not, yet
a thousand fold more really when by claim
ing to be a Republican he may render them
thousand fold more service than by for
mally going over to them.
The Republican masses will, through
their popularity elected Convention, nomi-
nate their candidate for President. The
indications confessedly are that it will be
General Grant. The Cincinn ati Convention
will nominate renegade Republican in
opposition, and if the Democrats accept
him it will be with the determination to
secure Democratic Congress. and to find
in him President in accord Herewith.
Schurz will support this scheme. but will
"not go over to the Democrats" This
paragon of consciousness, as he GER
tainly is if we accept his own modest ac-
count of himself, finds ready salve for his
conscience when any perfidy becomes neces-
sary "to beat Grant"

Petitions for Change in the Coz pOratiOn
Law Of ElktOn.-Two petitions q skiing for
important changes in the charter Of Elkton
were in circulation the early part Of the
week. The first we saw was in charge of
DR.. Ellis, and had but few signatures
attached, the most of whom were members
of the Board of Town Commiss ioners.-
This petition asked the Legisl AZURE to
invest the Town Commissioners wi til more
ample powers to widen and st. raighten
streets, curb, &C., &c, and also I o grant
power to the Board to establish library,
with a librarian at an annual sails .ry. In
view of the curling process that has been
conducted by the present Board, we are
inclined to think the property holde rs feel
more inclined to restrict the powers of the
Commissioners, in this respect, than e1 large
them. Consequently, petition No. 9, hich
followed No. 1, immediately, and was eing
circulated by Mr.. Oliver, proposed to re-
strict the annual levy of town tax to 20
cents on the 500, which amount should
levy. Atwo-thirds vote of the Board mig ut
levy so cents, and unanimous vote of the,
Board was required to levy the maximum
sum of 40 cents, fixed by the charter; and
this maximum sum to be levied in no two
successive years. This petition was numer-
ously signed by the principal property own
ers Of the town, and we hope that Mr..
Groome will take it in charge and exert his
influence earnestly in procuring the pro-
posed amendment to the charter.
The town affairs of Elkton, as small and
insignificant as they are, have become as
foul ring corruption as the municipal
affairs of New York or Philadelphia. To
the limit of the law the property is taxed
annually, and the money squandered SO
uselessly, that as far as serving the prop
erty-holders is concerned, it might abont
as well be stolen in the Tammany style
AS specimen of ring management, some
five Or six hundred dollars worth of the
very choicest curbing is now scattered
along the edge of the commons, back of
the town. This curbing might be used to
advantage, on Church street, "a street near
the centre of the town, and leading to the
Methodist burying ground and public school,
and also one of the principal thoroughfares
for people passing from that quarter of the
town into Main street. Since the property
holders will have the bill to foot, and have
this lot of useless curbing on hand, it
ought to be used on some street where the
public would at least derive some benefit
from it, and not be planted out on the bor-
ders of the commons, to make rubbing
posts for the Back street pigs.

FOURTH DISTRICT ITEMS.

Sale of House and Lot.-Mr. Lewis c.

Coal OIL Erplosion.-A family living in
house, known as the "Bee Hive" near

in her room, while he went on an errand to
the cellar. While in the cellar, he heard an
explosion, and on returning to the sick
chamber, found the lamp had exploded and
set fire to the bed. The sick woman was
rescued before she sustained any injury;
the bed and clothes were consumed before
the fire could be extinguished.
