Fourth District Item.

- Death visits this District every week.
This week Jonathan Lewis, aged about
GO years, died on Sunday evening last of
small pox; buried on Monday. He was
working among the rags at Duckett's Pa
per-mill, on the Little Elk, where the be-
lief is lie caught the disease. No other
cases reported to this date.
MIR. Amos Gilbert, proprietor of the
hotel at the Fox Chase, or Fairview, with
his family, left said premises either pGry
lutte on Sunday evening last, or very early
on Monday morning. Bad whisky, poor
thing may have short rest.
The thermometer stays stubborniy
down. near zero, ranging from to 10
above. and some OF the roads running north
and south are drifted so full of snow that
shoveling has been resorted to.
We have heard only Of three public
schools where public examinations have
been held, at the close of the present Win
ter term, to-wit: Miss Bella Waid, teacher,
ut the Jackson, on last Thursday evening
John II. Klmble, teacher at Big Elk, on
Friday evening, and Seruch T. Kimbe;
teacher at the Centre, on Saturday evening,
The exercises 1T these schools were very
similar; mainly consisting of examinations
OF the various classes in tho branches they
have been studying, interspersad with
dialogues, .leclamations, and excellent
vocal and instrumental music. The house
at each examination was croeoded by pa
rents and patrons, who seemed to be well
pleased and satisfied with the advancement
and proficiency of the scholars. In truth
the performance were alike creditable to
teachers. scholars, trustees and all con-
nected with the schools. Good order was
there without being called for. AS these
examinations are required by law, why are
there not more of them:

District, containing between 81 and SO
acres, was sold at Trustees sale, at Elkton,

RECEIPTS FOR KILLING A TowN.-The
Kingston Gazette speaks truly when it
says: ''To kill town underrate every
present and prospective public enterprise,
speak i'll of the church es aud schools, tell
everybody the hotels are bad, enlarge the
vices of the people, especially the young
people, withhold the patronage from your
merchants and tradesmen, and buy your
goods and groceries at some other place;
and by all means go to the city for your
millinery and such like; never subscribe
for the local paper, and If you are in bust
ness refuse to advertise.

Tonight the Elkton Building Society

Tonight the Elkton Building Society
meets, and the question again comes up
for alteration of the 10y laws SO as to give
withdrawing members 10 per cent interest
on their investment
Whether the question will be acted upon
or postponed till the annual meeting night,
is matter that will perhaps come up also
for consideration.
There appears to be singular conserva-
tive spirit, or fear and doubt that haunts
many of the members of the Society in re-
gard to making so beneficial change in
the bylaws as will induce members who
have not borrowed to withdraw and cancel
their stock. At present a member is al
lowed no interest on his investment if he
withdraws, although the Society has real
lied nearly, if not quite 30 per cent on its
Investments. The proposition now pend
ing. and which will come up tonight for
action, is to allow members who wish to
withdraw 10 per cent interest OIL their in
vestments. This we think is as small as
the Society could with decency offer when
it has realized 30 per cent. But the ques-
tion is serious one with those who have
borrowed. fla liberal interest is not allow
ed members holding stock will not with
draw, but will either hold on to the end
which will be till those who have borrowed
increase the assets of the Society to $780,
600, or they will borrow at perhaps few
cents premium, or at the even per cent.
They will in either case then add but trifle
to the assets of the Society compared to
the amount monthly paid in by those who
have borrowed at % to 40per cent premium.
If members would understand this mat
ter which seems SO very plain, we do not
think they could hesitate one moment to
alter the bylaws as proposed. Every in
terest of the Society demands it. In Balti-
more all the Building Societies wind up in
this way. A friend few days ago, men
toned one of those Baltimore Societies
which had run little over years, that
was now paying off it last shareholders who
nau not BORROWED, ny allowing lnehu ~o pei
cent interest on the money paid in. And
this rate was doubtless more profitable to
the Society than selling the funds at such
premiums as it would command.
A legal statement was made to the Society
at its last meeting, to the effect that no
borrower could be compelled to pay to the
Society any more than the amount actual
" received with interest at 6 per cent
thereon, and that the interest paid on the
bonus would all be placed to his credit in
settling on the basis of his actual receipts
from the Society. This statement if cor
rect would have been very damaging to
the credit of the Society, but it turns out
to be utterly and wholly incorr as shown
by the decision of the Court of Appeals
published in THE WING of Feb. 22nd.-
Every member who has borrowed from the
Society is bound to pay to the uttermost
farthing of his contract. No matter what
bonus he may have given, he cannot plead
usury and be released from his obligations.
