Sad News.
Our readers will remember that John II.
Lynde, Esq, of the Bangor Wing, recently
left for Florida to seek the recovery of his i'm
paired health. The Wing of yesterday con-
tains the following painful intelligence;
"Mr. Lynde, accompanied by his wife, was
obliged to make the journey by easy stages,
on account of his feeble condition, and on the
23d ult. they arrived at Savannah, Ga, where
he was Frustrated by severe attack of con
geston of the lungs, the result Of taking cold

covered, and on Friday night a letter was re-
ceved stating that the physician intended for
him to 90 oat for the first time last Wednes-
day. No further intelligence had reached us

SELECTING TEACHERS.

EDITOR CECIL WmG-Dear Sir:-It is
to be hoped the Legislature will not for a
moment entertain the idea of change in
the manner of selecting teachers for the
public schools such as is recommended in
resolution of the County School Board at
their last session, and published in both
county papers in their last issue. 1t is
pregnant with so many objections that
enumeration is unnecessary. How is it
possible that school commissioner having
charge of three Election Districts, con-
tanning some 80 or 40 schools, can know
the particular requirements of teacher
for each and every school. Trustees are
held responsible for the manner in which
their respective schools are conducted, and
yet are to be content with any teacher the
Board or rather the Commissioner in charge
may see fit to send them. Beside the citi-
zens of each school district should be con-
suited, which is one of the most import
ant duties of Trustees, and which can be
done in no other manner; the plan recon-
mended in the resolution would be to adopt
a Zone man power" which has always
proved a dangerous experiment. Some
alterations might be made advantageously
to the schools laws; but whatever changes
may be adopted by the Legislature, let not
this be one of them. References might be
made to other States and counties in which
the Public Schools are successfully con-
ducted-and it will be found that the selec-
ton of teachers is almost invariably vested
in the district trustees or directors as they
are called in other States. Yours

A MEAN TRICK.

On my visit to Canada, two weeks ago
the Howe Machine Company, without
either asking me for final settlement or
notifying me in any way, came in my alb
sence and attached the goods in my posses
sion; and only that my landlord happened
to be in Elkton, and interfered for his
rent, | have no doubt the Howe Machine
Company would have cleaned out the
office.
| wrote to the Company | was to pay my
sister, who had not seen for 20 years, a
visit, and that would leave Elkton on the
Goth of December, 1873, and expected to
return by the Sth or 10th of January, 1874.
| returned to Elkton on the 9th instant,
and found this trick had been played by
the company. They no doubt thought it
their best chance to gouge me, when | was
600 miles away. | consider it worse than
stealing. They had only to tell me they
wanted their property in my possession and
desired my services no longer, and they
could have had their property according to
contract between US. In addition to this,
/ find notices in, the hands of my custom
ers from the Company that l, John Wilkin-
son, am no longer in their employ and
directing them to pay me no more money.
| have only to say feel thankful that
the law OF justice stands between me and
mean corporation. The Companys ac-
tions with me for the last few months have
proved trickery.
| would also say to my friends and Gus
toners of Cecil county, that | will con-
tinue the Sewing Machine Business indie
pendent of any such a mean corporation,
and they will find at my office in the Wig
Building, Elkton, Nd, any kind Of Sew
ing Machine. | will now be able to sell
Machines at a fair price, as l will not be
bound up by any one to ask twice the worth
of them.
Mycustomers will find me as usual able to
supply them with any article in the bust
ness at short notice. All letters asking
information will be promptly attended to-
Yours, respectfully,

During the week an extra meeting has
been held at the M. E. Church.
The Sash Factory of J. II. Pugh & Co.
shut down on Wednesday the 18th instant.
The engine is now undergoing repairs and
will be ready for operation in few days.
1t is said the factory will be enlarged in
the Spring in order to make room for a
more extensive business.
We learn that Mr.. McCrery, formerly OF
Elkton, is having Il room fitted up under
the Farmers & Commercial Hotel for the
purpose Of carrying on the avocation of a

The river for some days past has been
very high on account of the heavy rains.
Navigation is still open, but little is being
done in that line. We were favored with
boat load of fine oysters on Saturday
last at j. II. Rowland S wharf.
For some weeks past there has been a
great many men employed working on the
canal at Lapidum, Hartford county. The
canal has been repaired so the water can
be kept on stand that it may freeze more
rapidly and thereby give better chance
to fill the immense ice houses built there.

A CALL.

TO ALL GOOD CITIZENS OF CECIL COUNTY.
FeIIow CHizenS:-In view of the enor-
nous disproportion between the number
of licensed houses for the retail of intoxi
eating drinks, and the actual demand for
them, a considerable number of the voters
of Elkton and its vicinity assembled by
previous consent on Tuesday the 18th inst,
to consider what practicable measures
could be taken to remedy the dreadful
decentralization of Society and the injury
TO financial and industrial interests in the
county, growing out of this intolerable
abuse.
The meeting aforesaid was CALLED, not in
the interest of any party or theory, i,ut
simply and solely for the public good. 1t
embraced men of all creeds, political, social
and religious; and men of opposite theories
of temperance. 1t was attended by support
ers Of Local Option and by it's opponents;
by believers in total abstinence and by
moderate drinkers; by Temperance :"
men and free drinkers alike. Every white
Christian congregation in the town was
represented, not only by lay-members, but
6y ITS pastors; and men of no religious con-
nection at ali joined with them-all inspired
with one purpose, namely, to try to do
something for the abatement of monstroas,
loud crying evil.
1t was by all agreed, after free and earn
est interchange of opinion. that the exist
ing liquor-license Law of the State of
Maryland was too aosak to be practica6'y en-
forced, and that the Legislature Of Maryland
ought TO be petittoned TO pass a License La %
aohach a0outd gice speedy relief to our COM
munltaes. A committee of five gentleme
of the Bar was appointed to consider th.s
various points discussed, to draft a new
license law; and to report at an adjourned
meeting on Thursday the 18th instant
At that meeting the report of the Com
mlttee was i'll substance unanimously
adopted; and it was agreed, with equal
unanimity, to issue Call for a general
public meeting, signed with the names of
all present, and of as many more as were
willing to sign.
We, whose names ale subscribed, do,
therefore, invite you who love order and
good morals and desire the prosperity of
your county, to attend Public Meeting and
discussion at Elkton, in the public Hall. on
Tuesday the Goth day of January, at 12
O'Clock NJ.
We wish you, also, distinctly to under
stand that this Call is not made in the
interests of Local Option, or of TEMPER
ance Alliance, or Of any sweeping and
severe legislation. But we simply desire,
in common, as we hope, with yourselves,
immediate relief from present. local abuses,
which press more and more heavily and are
become burden too grievous to be longer
borne.

THE BIRDS.
Town POINT, Jan. 10th, 1871

Town POINT, Jan. 10th, 1874.
Z. f. EWING, ESQ., was certainly
very much pleased with the tone of your
remarks on The Birds - in your paper of
the 10th instant, they are just and to the
point; and it has long been my conviction
that it is a duty which cur legislators owe
to their constituents to pass a law to pre-
vent the destruction of our insectivorouS
birds; and hope that our present able rep
resentatives, Dir. Groome and Mr.. Knight,
who SO well know the wants of the agri-
cultural population, will introduce a bill to
this effect; for the furtherance of which
object think that both the Wing and DEM
ocrat might send out memorials among
their patrons that could be signed and re
turned to them, to be sent to Annapolis:
if you will send one down here | will at
tend to it.
| am convinced that the birds are among
our best friends, and he that destroys, OF
suffers them to be destroyed, is doing a
great injury to himself and to his neigh
Dor; for the last three years have pro
tected them, and intend in the future to
prevent their destruction.
Even the much-abused black bird, is one
of our best friends, and should be protect
ed; who has not seen them in tlocks follow
ing the pillow or the harrow, busy in the
destruction of the enemies of our crops,
these enemies that we cannot hope to con-
quer without the assistance Of the birds
then is it not worse than folly to destroy
such faithful friends and servants; to say
nothing of the cruelty of killing the limo
cent songster whose melody enlivens our
toll while their never firing watchfulness
protects lis from our insect enemies.
1t may be urged that he some times pulls
up our young corn and obliges to go over
our work and replant; to this l would re.
ply that half gill of coal gas tar, properly
applied, will insure you against his attacks,
on four or five acres Of land planted in
corn; with so cheap a remedy who would
not prefer to have the birds.
Respectfully, D. Z. EVANS.
The above letter, though not specially
designed for publication, is so appropriate,
contributing to agitate a subject that is
of vital importance to the farmers, that
we place it before the public. 1t also sug-
gests a matter that it does not touch on,
which is the want of concert and associa-
ton among farmers. Had the farmers,
clubs or associations, this important ques,
Legislature be petitioned for protective
law for the birds, but in the present dis
jointed condition of rural society, there is
nobody authorized to start or manage any
better road laws, protection to birds,
Sleeps, ETC., etc.
