1t Will be seen by this. that the knights
of Charlotte Hall and Oakley were tied for
the first honor. They were compelled to
ride again-each being allowed one tilt,
and after a spirited contest the Knight of
Oakley was declared the victor and cntitl
ed to crown the Queen, whilst his Compe-
titor won the first Maid of Honor. The
Knights OF Lost Cause, MOdoc and the
Grange. having each six, were compelled
to tilt again for the second and third Maids
of Honor. This was most spirited con-
test and resulted in the success of the
Knight of the Lost Cause and the Grange.
The fitting being over, the most intcres
ting part of the ceremony to some of the
ladies followed. The victorious knights
with the wrcaths on the point of their lam
ces. marshaled by their Chief and his
Aids, and followed by their less successful
competitors then formed in line and mar
ched around among the ladies to distribute
their prizes. The following judicious
selections were made and ratified by the
hearty applause Of the assembled crowd ::
Queen of Love and Beauty, Miss Mamie
Hawkins.
1st Maid of Honor, Miss J. Boarman.

The duties of the tourney being ended
at about o'clock, the company rapidly

Ball, for which ample preparations had
been made, and some few taking them
selves off home We first paid visit to
the Station where we refreshed ourselves

New Advertisements.

"A penny saved is a penny made" and
in these hard times penny is worth say
ing. All who think this and who have
business once in L while in Baltimore, will
do we'll to read the advertisement Of the
Merchants Hotel in to-day's paper
The advertisement Of Barrett Nephews
& Co. shows how YOU can have old clothes
made new at "A small expense, and thus
more pennies may be saved.
The cold bleak winter is approaching
and the busy housewife is overhauling the
old carpets and trying, by turning and
twisting and mcnding, to make them last.
But il is no use in many cases. and at least
one new one will have to be bought. All
Of You who are in this sort of scrape read
the advertisement of q. :. Bowen, No. 30
y. Eutaw ST., Baltimore, and give him a
call.
Mr.. F. ". Plummer, No. - Hanover ST..
Baltimore, calls your attention 10 his stock
which comprises everything in the way of
Carpets and Furniture Like sensible
man he advertiscs not only his goods, but
his prices. We have wondered that this
was not ottcncr done.

Democratic Meetings.

We are authorized to announce that
meetings of the Democratic Conserva-
tive party will be held at the times and
places below designated, and that, by
an arrangement with the Executive
Committee of the county, at least two
speakers will address the people on
the all-important issues involved in
the present Congressional canvass, at
each place, viz:
On Tuesday, October ~, at TUBMAN's,
P0m0nkey.
On Wednesday, 2Sth, at HARRIS LOT,
Cobb Neck.
On Thursday, 10Th, at NEWPORT,
East Hundred.
On Friday, 3Oth, at DENTS STORE,
Nanyemoy.
On Friday, 30th, at HUGHEsvILLE.
On Saturday, 31st, at DUFFIELD.
We hope our friends will turn out at
the proposed meetings, so as to avail them
selves of the opportunity for consulting,
and arranging in the different districts for
the approaching election. There is not
the smallest doubt of Dr. Henkle's election
if our full strength is polled. We have in
this District about 800 majority, as shown
by the, vote last fall. Judge Merrick's de-
feat in 1872 was caused by the non-atten-
dance of our voters, not by any increase in
the Radical vote Turn out, then, Demo
Gratis and Conservatives. LIT your en-
thusiasm be aroused by the glorious news
from the West! Let Maryland respond
from the mountains to the sea shore; and
let us in old Charles, if we have been for
a time oversh.dowed by fusion" do our
part to swell the grand total of the voice
with which she will echo back that glori-
Gus news.
Turn out, then, and by your presence
and energy excite those disposed to be
inactive, doubtful, or careless. You can
avail yourselves by thus meeting together
in concert of action, i'll making the neces-
SdIy arrangements ~ yet out our lui!
strength, at small cost or trouble to each
one.
Although not an election for local off
GERS, yet it is just as important to US as if
it was. Whilst aiding in overcoming the
1e-ngress, we viii be
organizing against our local and State
elections, without those causes of trouble
or dissatisfaction which have sometimes
separated some Of our friends from us at
such elections. The present is an occasion
when all can act together from a common
interest in the result, and upon principle.
We believe, with few exceptions, We
can and will present a united front to our
opponents. To accomplish this, though,
We cannot supinely await the course of
events. We must help ourselves; and in
order to do this we must meet in the diff
ferent sections of the county and co-ope-
rate in our work.

The Teachers' Institute.
AS matter not only of local but Of
State interest, it may be we'll to notice in
general way the proceedings of the Tea
cheers Institute, held in Port Tobacco on
the Sth and 9th instant. The exercises
begun by a few Introductory remarks by
Mr.. Lloyd, who reminded the teachers that
these institutes, required by law to be held
in each county Of the State, are designed
as temporary normal schools, in which the
teachers being assembled, approved and
well-tricd methods of instruction are pre-
sented, and such discussions had upon the
character of the teachers vocation as NAV
incidentally arise during the sessions of
the Institute. Prof. Newell, of the State
Normal School, being introduced, after
some preliminary remarks, addressed him
self directly to the task of showing to
teachers the necessity of understanding in
its proper sense, the English language
That that language is a growth and &C
tually subject to the law of mutation, of
progress, was happily illustrated by TAX
ing at random a printed sentence. 1t was
shown that many words apparently simple,
of kindred Specification, are in reality de-
rivations, not from foreign languages, but
from simple words in our own tongue
For instance, such words as health. wealth,
are derivations from tie simple words heal
and veal. Many points OF interest were
, Tins presented which cDull not fail to i'm
press our teachers with the necessity of an
accurate knowledge of our language and
such additional acquisitions as would
qualify them for the positions they hold
and for the demands Of an eXacting and
progressive age. The subject of arithme-
tic was next presented by Mr.. Lloyd, who
stated that fair knowledge of its rules
and principles was attainable by attention
and d proper degree of study. The sub
.ject was one of great Importance from the
fact that all vocations in life require it to
greater or less extent even IN a utilitarian
sense, not to mention its disciplinary in
tiuence upon the mental faculties.
On the last day of the session of the In
stitute, Prot. Newell having been sudden
Iy summoned home, the exercises were
conducted under the charge OF Mr.. Lloyd,
at whose instance Mr. Soper, formerly Sc
cretary under the FanBokelen system, de
livered n very able and interesting address
on the subject of geography and most hap
PLY illustrated the great importance of
being accurate. After further exercises,
in which many of the teachers took part,
the Institute adjourned sine die, every body
being much gratiied.
