We take pleasure in announcing to our
customers that recent improvement in
our machinery has enabled lis to manufac-
ture, either our usual grade of Ground
Bone or one much finer than we have before
offered. or than is generally to be found in
the market.
Those who especially desire prompt
return the first season and yet wish to per-
manently improve their soil, will, we think,
find this Fine Bone adopted to their wants,
and themselves relieved from the necessity
of resorting to manipulated fertilizers.
In filling orders, we will send the usual
grade unless the extra fine is especially
mentioned. Samples of either with prices,
no., sent free on application.

Proceedings Of School Commissioners

Proceedings Of School Commissioners
The School Board held a special session on
Tuesday last. All the members were pres,
ent.
Prof. N. A. Newell, President of the
State Board, laid a communication before
the Commissioners in reference to the
change of some of the books in the schools
of this county, proposed by the County
Board. After hearing the views of Prof.
Newell in reference to the subject of the
change of books, the Board resolved not to
substitute the books selected gradually as
the old books in use require renewing
The change proposed, in part, is Mitchells
Geography for Cornell's, now in use, and
Smiths Grammar for the one at present in
use by the schools. Prof. Newell's views,
we believe, were averse to the change.
Mr.. Geo. Biddle, School Commissioner
for the three first Districts, laid report
before the Board recommending lot of half
an acre for new school HOUSE on the land
of Mr.. Fl. Rowan, with deed executed for
the same, which action was confirmed by
the Board. Bill of SIS for rent of Odd
Fellows Hall for the use of the Teachers
Institute, was presented and passed.
A petition was laid before the Board
numerously signed by citizens of North
East, asking that the walls of the new
school house, partially erected last fall,
should be torn down and rebuilt on account
of injury from FROST and also that the
building be enlarged so as to accommodate
the prospective increase of pupils. The
petition set forth in glowing language that
a speculator in real estate had recently pur-
chased 20lots in the town on which he pro-
posed to build dwelling houses; that a COM
pany had made arrangements, or were
thinking Of making arrangements, to erect
to the present stock of wearing apparel of
the county, but ,cearers of the apparel also;
and in presence of these weighty reason it
was the conviction of the petitioners that
the proposed school building should be con-
siderably larger than the plans and specifi-
cations called for. The whole subject was
referred to Commissioner S. J. England,
who couldn't see it in that light, and sig
nified his intention to proceed and put up
the building according to the specifications
already agreed upon.
The Treasurer was ordered to pay the
bill of Prof. Newell for so copies Of the
School Law, amounting to 49,.
Mr.. s. w. Schotield, agent for Messrs.
Sewers, Potts & Co., was heard in behalf
of the use of Raub's Speller and Few
Smiths Grammar.
The Board then adjourned.
Teachers of the lower Districts are in
vited to notice from the Secretary pub
lished in our advertising columns.

Our Jail and Aims House.-7He risit Of
a Good Samaritan.-We have received
copy of the Fourth Annual Report of the
Maryland Prisoners Aid Association, from
which we make the following extract from
the report of Rev. j. Musson, who was
sent out by the Board to visit the jails and
aims houses Of the State:
Having received from G. S. Griffith, Esq,
your President, a circular letter to intro
duce me to the Sheriffs, Wardens and Off
GERS, dated February 18th, 1878, l proceed
ed forthwith upon my duties, beginning in
Elkton, Cecil county.
WHAT HE SAW IN CECIL COUNTY.
The Sheriff. r. Thomas, Esq, Hospitality
7erf,n rtained me and introduced me to the
prise. 1ers, 16 in number, who are we'll cared
for an made quite comfortable, the Jail
being z model of convenience. They are
also pl divided with Bibles and are visited by
a comm ittee of three gentlemen, Msssrs.
Perkins, Wright and Mason. who hold
with them prayer meeting every Sabbath
morning, though no minister has been in
the habit of preaching to them. preach
ed to them, prayed with them, distributed
tracts, &C., and have secured the promise
of preaching hereafter. My services were
ATTENDED by all the prisoners and number
of citizens including the Sheriff and States
Attorney. The Sheriff also sent me in bis
carriage to the Aims House, four miles dis
tant, where spent two days, kindly enter
tanned by the Overseer, Mr.. Pluck. The
house is new, clean and comfortable, and
the inmates well-treated, each sleeping and
living in his own room. They have reli-
gious attention from the brethren named
above who will continue to look after them.
During my stay I preached, prayed and
conversea with them all. On the second
day after my arrival colored man died, in
the faith of Christ, and was buried by me
with religious rites in the presence of the
household. A supply Of reading matter
was left here, and Mr.. Pluck forwarded me
