CREMATION AND LIFE INSURANCE. The Life
Insurance journals take ground against Gre
nation or burning of the dead. They very
clearly see that it would utterly destroy the
means of determining disputed Identification.
In the whole range of medical jurisprudence,
and especially in its application to life insu-
rance the Baltimore Underwriter says it knows
Of no more important element than that rela-
tive to identity, Destroy the means Of iden-
tiication through the stature, the teeth, the
sex, the hair, cica;rices features, deformities,
or peculiarities, and what will be left for the
companies in every Goss case that may occur
except 10 pay the conspirators the amount Of
their claim

The CURRENCY QUESTION Since the veto by
an irredcemable currency, the inhationists
in Congress have consulted among themselves
MS to the best course 10 be pursued TO carry
their petled scheme. At one lime ii was de-
termned TO issue manifesto and appeal TO
the people, hut we learn that this has since
been abandoned The country is ready for
the issue, come v hen it may. But for the vas
cilating policy OF the Administration specie
payments might have been resumed long ago,
il those in authority had been as anxious to
return to n sound currency ns they now are
to food the country with paper money. This
would have cut down the profits Of the specu
htors in gold aud prevented the late panic
AT present gold is l34 to IA per cent. above
the face valae Of paper dollar, giving TO it
value that much less, and as consequence a
loss Of that amount to the holder, in the pur-
chasing value Of every dollar. There is surely
enough Of craftsmanship in the present Con-
gress TO frame bill by which gold and silver
may be forced out of their hiding places, and
oe inaue tne leBal tehdef OF the county. ltls
understood that the Senate finance cofnmiitce
are maturing new finance bill which will
contain some Of the features of the bill Just
vetoed, with some important additions, among
these free banking and redemption, besides
providing for retirement Of forty per cent of
legal tenders in proportion as he volume Of
the banking currency is increased until the ag-
gregate amouat Of legal tenders outstanding is
diminished TO $500, 600, 900. The fixing Of the
time for specie resumption is being considered
and it is thought that three Or four years hence
will be agreed upon. OF course that will be
put off as long as possible.

Snow STORM. On this, Wednesday the goth
of April, 1874, snow is falling fast, and the
ground is covered to the depth of three or four
inches, thing unprecedented in this latitude,
at least in the memory Of the Oldest inhabi-
tant. King Winter seems yet 20 hold his icy
reign, and appears 10th to take his departure.
In fact, the whole month Of April has been
wet, gloomy and cheeress-rain, rain, with
OUT regard to moon or almanacs-and now a
snow that would do credit 10 Kamschatka. =
This, however cannot last long. Thesun has
eliminated to the meridian, and we can hard
~ suppose that he has lost his reckoning and
taken the Northern route.
But little traces Of the snow that fell on
Wednesday are now left Ice half an inch in
thickness formed on Wednesday night. The
fruit crop must be seriously injured. The
wheat and grass crops are promising. During
all this mixture of weather ''Old Prob" kept
pretty close to the mark.

County ROADS "A communication on the
subject of County Roads, published on the first
page of to-day's paper, will command the at
tention Of the reader. Ii is an important sub
ject and one in which all are interested. and it
is therefore hoped that the suggestion of the
writer for a meeting Of the people of the coun-
ty TO be held in Rockville on Tuesday the 18th
day Of May, (instant,) will meet with a will
ing response and be well attended. The sug-
gestion is good one, as the machinery of the
new law giving the County Commissioners al
most plenary power over the County Roads.
may be put in motion, or rather the expedien-
ey aud utility Of the law may be inquired into
II there is one thing more important than ano-
Their 10 the interest Of the county people, it is
the condition Of the roads. 1t is this that
gives value TO the lands by rendering access to
market easy, and materially affecting the profit
and loss account of The farmer. AT this time
the subject of County Roads is attracting much
attention throughout the State, the best evil
dence that there is something radically defect
i've in the present system, or that the law is
l,w is good one, blame attaches somewhere
for the non performance of its duties. That IL
is expensive, all admit That the roads are
not good is equally undenable The sugges-
tons made by our correspondent are for the
people to consider, and by taking counsel to-
gether unite upon that system Of Improvement
which promises the most beneficial results.

Our neighbor of The Adoocate, DO wn on the
"Avenne, y seems to be "spoiling for fight
and pitches into rs for having recommended a
meeting Of the Taxpayers Of the town, to
nominate Commissioners for be ensuing year"
We can inform our neighbor that that notice
was made at the instance of a voter, and that
il has met the approval of others. As TO the
"old fogy notion of property Qualification"
which he has lugged into his article we regard
il as the merest twaddle and even unworthy Of
notice, because the taxpayers themselves can
nominate whom they please--whcther tax
payers or not--and the Commissioners conld
reject the nomination or not--ns they pleased.
Our neghbor was in too grent hurry to
shoot and so lost his ammunition. As to the
''smacking too much Of aristocracy for our
people who believe in the nobility of manhood, y
that will do 10 laugh at this cool weather.
Nobody has said anything against the present
Town Council-and nobody, that we are aware
of, objects to their denomination 1t was sim
ply the object of the movcr-and be has many
supporters-the Adrocate excepted--to give
the people most deeply interested in the good
government Of the town an opportunity Of re-
commencing suitable persons as the Town
Council the old ones if they choose, or new
Board, if they so prefer We would advise
our ncighbor ''not to kick before he is spur
red" The snow-storm must have unsettled
his faculties. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
is good. A slraght-jacket would do better
When he advocates the appointing of Town
Council, when they ought to be elective, we
should like 10 know in what school be learned
his democracy.

THE Doc LAw.-We publish this week the
dog law, or rather the lam for the protection
of sheep, enacted at the last session Of the Lee
gislature. OF course all persons interested
will ncquaut themselves with its. provisions
II faithfully executed there can be no doubt
that great good will result in Kidding the
county Of great number of useless ours that
are continually proving about and worrying
or killing sheep wherever one can be found
The law seems to he cumbrous in some of its
details, but can easily be enforced where there
is a determination TO execute its provisions
The subject is now brought home 10 the peo-
pie and is n matter Of seEintercst--a question
of dollars and cents whether il is more profit
able TO raise sheep or dogs. Were the danger
OF the destruction Of sheep removed, there can
be no doubt the people of this county would
engage largely in Sheep uusbaudry-a branch
of ineaslry, than which there is none more
profitable This would be source of wealth
to the county and add immensely to the value
Of the lands BY improvement Of the soil in
bringing into requisition the waste and barren
laads now unproductive. There is always,
too, a market for mutton and wool, at remn-
nerative prices. Aud further, the time might
moi be distant when woollen factories would
spring up along some ofthe magnificent water
courses in the county Could this be accom-
plished Montgomery county would soon take
rank with the foremost in the State. Capital
and population would be invited hither, and
the prosperity of The people be assured Its the
diversity Of business and the opening up of
new business, with nearness to the markets
of the world that invites immigration and
when these inducements are held out, the in
,eiigcnt aud the thrifty are not slow to avail
themselves of these advantages
PuRLIc MEgriNG The proceedings offs meet
ing of citizens Of Rockville, published in an
other part Of this paper will show that they
are awakening to their true interest. The in
fux of strangers from the city, during the
summer months, has created such demand
for room and other accommodation as in
wolves upon them the necessity of the erection
Of a tirst-class Hotel, and the meeting was held
TO take the initiative. Within an hours time
OF Washington, and but two hours of Balii-
more, many of v hose people spend the hot
summer months away from The city, in pursuit
of pleasure or health, it would be suicidal for
our citizens not 10 offer inducements to these
people 10 take up their abode among us Many
of them desire to do so, but are prevented for
the want of accommodation Ii is therefore
10 the interest of al classes to lend their aid
TO the movement nov set on foot, and by all
means in their power advance the interests of
the town. Rockville has tbright future be-
