communities where his moral worth and
uprightness was known.

cient mental capacity to make valid
VIII
3d-That said paper writing was pro-
cured from said testator by undue inhu.

The answer denied all the allegations
set forth in the petition.
Between forty and fifty illnesses were
examined during Friday and Saturday {;
the arguments occupied to q o'clc ok
on Monday, when the Judge delivered
the charge to The jury. The finding Of

A Courageous Reed and ATS Re-
ward.
From the Beallsville, Illinois paper as
follows: On main street of said town,
on last Tuesday two mules, bitched to
q farm wagon, got frightened and star
ted off at a fearful rate. The team was
looked after with great anxiety as it
contained the owners wife and three
children AS the team was passing
Bangs Hotel the hostler, ADAM SMITH,
with the greatest courage, caught the
galloping miles by the brides and hung
to them until he got them TO stand
still, ADAMS courage, and at the risk OF
his own life, is all that saved the life OF
the woman and children.
In a short time the owner came along
and took charge of the team; he did
not thank ADAM, but put his hand in
his pocket and gave him ten cents for
saving the lives Of his wife and chill
dren, or rather wanted to give it to him,
but ADAM went his way; he did not
want such thanks. The name Of the
man is VIM MAzARIN, he lives three
miles from Beallsville, and is a rich far.
mer Dr. BEUNER, an eye witness OF
the scene, tried to subdue the miser
then by paying ADAM a reasonable re.
ward out of his own pocket, but it had
not the least effect on the miser. ADAM
SMITH is well known by. the people OF
Monroe county, especially Of Malaga
township, and has always been first
where he could help bis fellow beings
and we are glad to hear that people re,
spect him in the west; he deserves it.

On Saturday last an outrage was CON-
mitted on the person of a young lady nam
ed Adeline Jackson, who resides with her
parents near Odenton, on the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad, about fifteen miles from
the city,. by negro, John Sims. The
scoundrel fled after the commission of the
crime, but was pursued and captured on
Sunday morning. He was taken to Annap-
oils and committed to Jail. The indigna-
ton of the neighbors defied all restraint,
and the wretch came within hairs breadth
of being lynched before he was got on the
cars at Odenton. Afterward gravel train
was signalled by the lynchers, and an at

SCHOOL TOPICS.

The Teachers Association which meets
in Port Deposit, commenced at the usual
time and place on Saturday last. Owing
to the teachers having nothing prepared for
recitation or discussion the Association was
adjourned to meet again at the same time
and place upon the 10Th inst. 1t is re-
markable fact that this Association, the
Oldest and once the most tiourishing one in
the county, has not held a successful meet
ing since the Institute. Immediately after
came the ice gorge, and this prevented the
meeting upon the regular day, and the
worthy President has never beed able since
to successfully rally his forces. The pleas
ant little Secretary has also been confined
to the house by long and distressing i'll
ness, and is not yet able to attend the meet
ings of the Association.
1t is sincerely hoped that for the honor
of the 9th, It'll and 9Th Districts, the teach
ers and friends of our common school sys.
tenn generally will turn out upon Satur-
day, the 10Th, and come prepared to say or
do something for the advancement of the
cause. And we would respectfully suggest to
some of the lady members that for the pur-
pose of social gossip and discussion of styles
they hold sociables at each others houses,
and not interrupt the business of the Asso-
citation in such manner as has been done
heretofore.
The plan of classification as adopted and
recommended by Prof. Newell has now been
in operation for one school year. The plan
is good one when not too strictly adhered
to as regards time, in fact the plan in its
general outline is pretty much the same as
every successful teacher must have pursued
previous to its adoption by the School
Board, and surely the more systematic our
method of teaching the better work will
we do. Even an inferior teacher will &C
complish more and better result, by follow
ing this special plan of classification, than
by following one of their own, or teaching
at haphazard.
And now that the first century of the
young Republic rolls away and disappears
in the mists of time, while all the air re-
sounds with praises of the battles, and
heroes of century ago, is it not we'll to
pause and consider the expediency of war.
War century removed from US, is all
glory and renown, but war to- day-we all
know what it would mean, carnage, rapine,
plumber, the fostering of every bad pas
sion, the paralyzing of every honest indus
try. War is utterly opposed to every senti-
ment of Christianity, yet our school litera-
ture (Which is very poor literature at any
rate) teens with all that goes to foster the
war spirit. An article i'll a late number of
the atlantic touching upon the subject OF
School Literature, recommends return to
selections from, and analysis of, the Eng
lish classics, as preferable for school read
ing, to any modern productions, to this we
say amen, any thing to save us from such
infections as 'The Heather Chinee " and
sJlm Bloodso.'

CoNsTITUrIoNALITY OF LICENSE LAW
The Court of Appeals has decided the case
of Louis Cohen VS.. A. Lingan Jarrett,
Clerk of Hartford County Circuit Court,
involving the constitutionality of the act
of 1874, chapter 43e, which requires in
certain counties a party asking for license
to sell liquor to obtain the recommendation
of the Grand Jury Of the county before he
can receive permission to sell spirtuous
liquor. The appellant applied to Mr.. JAR
rett for license without the recommends
ton of the Grand Jury, and on his refusal
to give it, sued for a writ of mandamus to
require him to issue it, which writ the
court below refused, and dismissed the
petition of the appellant, and from that
judgment an appeal was taken. The court
in lengthy opinion decides that the court
below was right in the judgment rendered
by it and that judgment must be affirmed
with costs.

IL We publish most thorough and sug-
gestive article on grape culture in the agri-
cultural department of The Wing this week
from the pen of Mr.. Evans, of Town Point,
this county. The Messrs. Evans have an
extensive vineyard and have been in the
business several years. Their grape crop
under judicious management has grown to
be the most profitable product of the farm.
Persons who desire to be supplied with
healthy vines of good bearing varieties and
then have the advantage of being accli-
mated, We presume could get them of the
Messrs. Evans. They would get much
cheaper and better vines than are furnished
by the New York peddlers. Our own ex.
perience in purchasing of strolling New
York peddlers was loss of 66 per cent in
the purchase money.

MORE MoNEY.-The Dslawars Repu6H-
can quotes paragraph from the Chester
Nsos crying out against the scarcity of
money, and declaring contraction should
be stopped that business may revive. We
thought this fallacy had exploded with
even the inhationists. 1t is confidence that
is wanting, and money on a solid specie
basis will bring confidence, and with conf
dence business will revive. If some CAPT.
talist were to run car load of greenbacks
into Chester or Wilmington, and offer the
currency at per cent to all who would
give the ordinary security, we venture to
say not one more industrial establishment
in either of these cities would commence
work. This paper money era is subject to
violent fluctuations, which endangers any
business and has consequently destroyed
confidence.

AIMS HOUSE MANAaEMENT.-The fol-
lowing suggestions on the above subject
are from the Kent NsUs, which is good
Democratic authority, and can't be got
behind by the convenient plea that it is
Radical fault finding:
"Abolish the Board of Trustees to the
Aims House, and let the overseer report
quarterly to the County Commissioners,
who might pay An occasional, unexpected
visit to the institution, inspect the premises
and advise the overseer, and thus do away
with any cut and dried formal visits. In
stead of twelve sumptuous dinners per an
mum, have two for the inmates; one on
Thanksgiving day and one at Christmas
And by all means let a careful, honest &C
count of receipts and expenses be made
public once year. This we'll enable the
people to determine that doubtful question,
whether it would be less expensive to board
the whole concern at the Voshell House, or
continue the present system"
One of the Elkton hotels can be substi-
tuted for the Voshell House. The Kent
county and the Cecil county systems appear
to be identical. The overseers eat all the
good dinners, while the inmates are RECALLED
on Baley's herring.
