THURSDAY MORNING, June s,h, 1873.

flieir Office Of the issue Of the 22nd of
May. ult.. which. it seems. they did not
receive in regular course Of mail. and had
rot received up to Tuesday last. were pro-
perly directed by us and mailed as usual
in the Lconardtown Post Office on We'd
ncsday. the 2lst. We much regret the
disappointment Of our Hollywood friepds
j" this matter. bseas we are not rcspon-
sible for it. We have thought proper TO say
so.
Our readers are invited to keep n mind
the contemplated concert and refreshmcn'
entertainment which is advertised to take
place at the Court House. Leonardtown.
on Wednesday. the 18th Of June, instant.
for the benefit Of st. Peters Episcopal
Chapel Of our Town. The known liber-
ality Of the worskippNrs at this Chapel in
the encouragement Of similar entertain
mcnts. when gotten up By other religious
denominations, ensiilcs the present enter
prise to the fullest Christian reciprocity
and the general favor Of the public
Tickets. so ccnts-ciildren and colored
people: half price, to be had at the diff
fercnt hotels and stores in the village.
The cool. windy weather ofthc las. four
or FIVE days has been very favorable to
wheat which. except in fields where
"Winterkill'' disaster exists, gives prom
ise Of more than an average yield for the
seed. Besides being sily 'come ur,"
corn is not doing much. owing to the cool
"snap" above referred to. The worm.
also. is reported to be badly attacking this
crop. Almos; everybody is waiting for
'senson' to commence tobacco planting.
the right time being at hand, the land
generally ready and the plants abundant
and Of sufficient size.
Though there we're one or two political
gatherings Of Republicans during the
Whi,suntide Holidays in different parts Of
the county. we have been abe to CLEAN no
particulars which it would interest our
readers to mention. That a pretty lively
quarrel prevails and is still progressing in
republican quarters in our county is too
plain for conccalmcnt and is denied by
nobody. What it is all about or how it
will evcntuate. is to us at present a sub
ject of conjecture only. We suppose the
sui jcct-ma,tcr Of di>putc-like al! other
political disputes in our county-will be
finally brought into the BEACON for venti-
lation, until which time, our readers must
possess themselves with patience and re-
main in darkness like ourselves. The
democrats are doing nothing that VIC can
find out, not even quarrcling. To keep
the enemy in countcnancc. and to infusc
n little more life into the party, would it
not be we'll for STATES IGurs and True
ELrE TO renew their old quarrel and COM
mcnce bclabor;ng each other again ? If
"Barkis is willin," the BEACON is at eve.
rybody's service.
