Coop WoRKMEN Not long since we paid
visit to n certain section of our county and on
that visit we met two Germans who are engaged
as farm hands at about ten or fifteen dollars per
month We very much gratfed to find
them so intelligent and well posted in general in
formation. Both of them are very conversant
with the literature of their native language, one
of them reads and converses fluently in French,
and both speak the English remarkably well for
men having but a poor opportunity to acquire
the language. One OF them has been in America
about twelve months and the other about -four.
One of them performs admirably well on the
piano and begs the privilege of his employer TO
indulge his musical talent and entertain the fam
lily in the evening. Before doing this he repairs
to his room, after having completed his days toll
in the field or about the barn, and changes his
field clothes and rigs himself in presentable suit
in order that he may make himself agreeable in
his personal attire the company of the ladies of
the household as well as in the display Of his
musical requirements. In this way he makes
himself entertaining and pleasant TO the family.
He is exceedingly accommodating to the children
who are picking up some knowledge of the Ger
man language from him. He tells them anything
they ask about the language. Both are very
neat and tidy in their personal appearance, and
they arrange their toilets prior to every meal just
as regularly as the meals arrive. Both carry
about their persons the evident marks of good
breeding and responsibility, and both convince
you that they are by no means unfamiliar with
history, the Bible and the common events.of the
day.
They are employed by two gentlemen who re-
side about two and a-half miles apart. They
visit each other on alternate Sundays and spend
the day together. They manifest a desire to
hs none but intelligent associates, and critcise
sts 5gy the silly habits of spending time and
ms ley in drinking and other pleasures TO which
oul Young men are too much addicted What
American society wants is more such workmen.
Let US encourage this sort of immigration and
endeavor to furnish this kind of help and we
shall soon have new order of things in our
midst. We shall have better service and they
will receive better wages. Encourage it and
bring it.

After having gone through with the work the

one of the members where all seemed pleased
with the entertainment there being nothing
stronger in the way of drink than coffee But
what seemed to be most popular in the way of
drink was the pure country milk.
After the supper was disposed of short time
was spent in pleasant chat, after which the COM
pany dispersed, the Baltimore brothers by way of
omnibus to Baltimore, and on their way home
they were again halted at Cockeysvlle by an
other member of Hebron Lodge who furnished
them an additional supply of refreshments when
they made another start for Baltimore, since
which we have not heard from them but suppose
they all arrived safely in due time.

A DANGEROUS RAILROAD CRossING.-In the
Baltimore American of 18th inst, We find the
following communication in reference to the
railroad crossing at Cockeysville, viz:
81 think it our duty to prevent accidents, II
possible as we'll as to try to remedy them after
injury is inflicted. You are aware that mum
Der of accidents have occurred at the railroad
and turnpike crossing at Cockeysvile Life
has been lost, men and animals injured, and
property destroyed. Yesterday it was my mel
ancholy duty to attend the funeral of rela
live in Baltimore county Our route to the
cemetery was past Cockeysville. When we
reached the crossing o train of cars was ap
preaching at slow speed, but fast enough to di-
vide the funeral train, frightening some of the
teams, one of which came very near getting
beyond the control of the driver. After some
detention the cars were then backed off the
track and the delayed hacks allowed to pro-
coed. Persons familiar with this crossing
dread until it is passed. There is no flag or
sIg""i . onv kind to give warming, and the
view OF approaching A~Ains is INSTRUCTED, hence
the numerous accidents that have occurred, and
the dread of others by every one who has occa-
sion to drive across the track.
The ea e mRe end .s o, 81 sg s
ton house, could beseen for long distance
from the north or south approach, and give as
surance and confidence to the passer that he
was safe. Why should not the traveller on the
pike have the assurance of safety2 If the Of
ficers of the road could realize the great exemp-
ton from danger and the relief this simple
means would give the community, the present
week would see signal board in proper po-
sition at the crossing named. They would do
it as an act of public duty"
