March 1869, Congress resolved that "the
hited States solemnly pledges its faith to
lake provision at the earliest practicable
period for the payment of the United
States notes in coin" And the above act
of imitation is all that has been done to
keep the faith pledged. President Grant,
too, in his veto message and his Jones
memoranda, pledged himself to sign no
bill that did not provide for the resump-
ton Of specie payments, yet he approved
this last measure. If this record does not
show most lamentable disqualification

Our county is suffering now from severe
drought, there having been no rain to do
much good for several weeks. Under the
influence OF the hot sun vegetation is be
ginning to wilt and pastures to burn up.
The oat crop will consequently be short.
Corn, thus far, does not seem to have been
injured but is holding on very well. Very
little tobacco has been planted, there hay
ing been but one very brief season suitable
During the past few days We have had
several delusive indications of rain ending
in nothing. except apparently making the
sun tiercier in its tropical heat, We hope
the Changers will put all their chaplains
to praying for the much desired moisture
without further delay.

This watering place is in full blast this
year and we see by the Baltimore papers
that the 9th Regiment, Col. Clarence Peters,
will go into camp there for a week on the
morning of the 4th July. 1t is expected
that the encampment will attract large
crowd to this favorit resort of bve-gone
days. Here is good opportunity for our
people who desire to take IA few days frolic
and recreation. By taking either the
Georgeanna or Express they will be landed
at the wharf, and after day or two of
refreshing urfbathing, can return in the
same way, with renewed strength to en-
counter the heat and trials of the summer

Now that the County Commissioners
are relieved of the pressure Of making ap-

to turn their serious attention to that bette

ately termed Certainly something ought
to be done to improve and render safe the

Gov. Peck has called an extrs session
of the legislature, to assemble Wednes-
day, January 18th, for the appropriation
Of money to rebuild the reform school.
We have little doubt that this is the on
y legal course that our State authorities
could pursue, but much regret will be
felt that the expense of an extra session
could not have been saved, especially
since that and the insurance on the build
ings destroyed, would have been nearly
enough to have made the State whole.

New IDEA.-The Grand Trunk Rail-
way of Canada last week put upon all
their passenger trains an extra man with
a badge reading, sc. I. r. Train Tick
ct Clerk" whose business it is to take
charge Of all tickets and fares collected
upon the train. This has heretofore
been done by the conductor the same as
upon all our trains in this section of the
country. Now their conductors have
nothing to do only to get on their trains
and ride, while these clerks take up tick
cts and fares. We can hardly see the
advantage of this, bat suppose there
must be some reason for the change.

Members of the North Oongl. Society had directly west of the church building twelve stalls of horse sheds running east and west, and eleven stalls nearly west and south. The latter have been moved around on a line about 40 feet distant from and parallel with the former, and the span at the west end filled with five new stalls which were much needed. This arrangement makes ample room for all concerned to pass in and out. The ground around the church has been graded so that it will be hereafter free from mud and pools of standing water in wet sea- son. Some individuals have obtained liberty to build about twenty-five rods of fence to enclose a large portion of the ground, having three gates at convenient points. There is a difference of opinion as to the fence, but We learn that those who do not contribute will not oppose much. 90 that it will probably be built as the stones to receive the posts are already placed.
