which was never done.

County NEWSPAPERS The following is
what the Cincinnati Zrade List thinks of those
characters who complain of their county pa
pers, and instead of helping to support it send
on for large city paper, and thus help 10
sustain them
IA gentleman writes to us that his county
paper is so poor that he has stopped it; there
fore sends us three dollars for the Trade List.
We repeat that we don't want subscribers on
those terms. mans county paper is worth
more TO him than any other paper in the world,
or, if it is not it is his own fault. IF the coun-
~ paper is properly encouraged, il may be
relied upon for information of more value TO
the people in whose interest it is issued, than
can be found in all the city papers in the Uni
ted States. No man can afford TO stop the paper
that publishes the official advertisements of his
county, the public sales, markets, court news,
and other local intelligence. If the paper is
poor, the people are more at fault than the
publishers for not giving it liberal patronage
However poor the county paper may be, it is
always worth more than it costs to those in
teresed in the affairs of the county"

colored aborer, residing at the corner of Third

Monday last, with reasonable hopes of an in-
crease in the population. DR.. Alpheus w

responded, and in short time the sufferer was
safely delivered of four children-three lively
boys and girl. They are all fine, healthy
looking children, weighing about seven pounds
each, andthey and the mother are doing well,
but the father seems somewhat down on his
luck" poor fellow. The mother is about %
years of age, and (including the last Install

years ago she gave birth to twins-a boy and
girl-one of whom died when six months old,
and previously she had two children, (singly)

much attention among the physicians, and
some of the oldest of our medical fraternity
state that it is the first case of the kind in this
District = Wash. Star
One Of these children has since died, but the
balance of the crowd are doing we'll.

THE PUBLIC School IN ROCKVILLE. peti-
ton has, we understand, been presented to
the Board of School Commissioners for this
county, praying for n separation Of the sexes
in the public school in this place, and the es-
Establishment of separate schools for each. To
this end it is proposed to have a suitable build
ing erected on the lot adjoining the Protestant
g. Church for the accommodation of the fe-
males. The location would be good one
secluded, and away from the noise and hustle
of the town, we doubt not that separation is
not only desirable, but would be advantageous
to both sexes,

A TREAT.-We are pleased TO learn that on
Friday (to-day )Messrs. BOYLE and BASsoN will
give an entertainment near Gaithersburg, TO
their friends Of Montgomery and the District.
For the first step toward social intercourse
and fraternal meeting between our people and
those of the District Messrs. BOYLE and BAN
NON deserve much credit. Now that we areno
longer compelled to travel over rough and
billy road, in numbering vehicle, at snails
pace, but are placed in easy communication,
by railway, with tile people of Washington,
this initiatory step cannot but be productive
OF many social gatherings; and we should feel
not only proud that our new citizens are open
ing up this avenue for such meetings, but thank
full that it has been opened through our coun-
ty, presenting TO the gaze of refined and cult
waited gentlemen the beautiful scenery that
meets the eye along the Metropolitan Branch
r. r., where they can enjoy the pure and
balmy breezes and taste the cool and refresh
ing waters of our gushing springs. And when
they have returned to their business pursuits
and feel the warm and sultry atmosphere of
the city, they will yearn for the pure air, re-
freshing waters and delicious fragrance of the
flowers in the country, "where every gale is
peace and every grove is melody" We have
long needed such persons, who know what it
is to enjoy life, to waken us from the lethargy
in which we have SO long been plunged, and
we trust that these kind and genial gentlemen
will meet with a splendid success.

SURPRISE. We once heard of convict who
had served q long period in the State prison.
and what excited his surprise most on his lib
Grafton, was to see a COW with head on. He
said he thought they had all been killed TO
make soup for the prisoners. Our surprise
was about as great an evening or two since at
seeing large spinning being conveyed
to the home of the purchaser. We knew that
such things used to be, but in these days of
fashionable folly, of what use could that
wheel be, thought we, when they had been SUI
persede6 by the piano, and their buzzing noise
had become wearsome TO the devotees of fash
ion. Our mothers knew their use and knew
how 10 use them. Their music is good--as
good as any ''since Benny Doom was sung"
and if heard ofteEer would drive away hard
times from many a household.

additional trains have been put on between
Washington and Baltimore. The trains land

The completion of this masterpiece of engi-

TRANSFER OF OLIVET CHURCH.-
Sir ce the unfortunate financial embarrass-
ment of the congregation of Olvet Church
there has been considerable speculation in
relation to the issue and robabe dis osi-
ton Of the property. All surmise is now
raised by the transfer of the property to
Bishop Arnitage, which occurred yesterday
The consideration is S35, 1000 in cash, and
the transfer embraces the property occupied
by the church and the chapel. Thus Olivet
Church has passed out Of existence, but not
its short and eyentful history. 1t will
hereafter be known as the Bishops Church
or All Saints.
The property now occupied by All Saints
including the purchase has frontage of 254
feet on Division Street, 1870 feet on Cass, and
l2o feet on Marshall These grounds are
admirably located, and will be devoted
wholly to the purposes of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church. They will afford room for its
chart table and benevolent associations, and
viii in time be really Church Home both

ton. The Church is congratulated on its

tertaiument, namely, the Fair, at which will
be exposed for sale to those who may wish

work of the ladies' Regarding the prices
for these articles we are informed that
many of them will be sold at rates far less
than they cost if any value is placed on the
amount of labor expended in their manu-
facture The inducements the ladies are
thus able to offer in their disposal of their
goods and wares should secure to them a
liberal patronage during the evening, and
we trust they may be able to close out their
stocks without the aid of ''forced sales" To
those desiring to have their appetites sp-
peased ice cream and cake will be served ,
and in this way the inner as well as the out
er man will receive attention. Nothing has
been left undone by the ladies having the
matter in charge TO make this concert and
fair a complete success in every particular
1t is, therefore, only reasonable to expect
that they will be rewarded, as they well
deserve to be, With a crowded hall, and IN
this manner a proper appreciation shown
