The New School House.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Upon the arrival Of the
mail on Saturdays, l cannot be satisfied till
| have read all the news from home-the
Wing being as good as a letter each week.
1t gives me much pleasure to note any i'm
provement in my old place of residence,
and thus when | look upon that beautiful
and creditable structure, the new Presby
terian Church; see the change in the Catho-
lie for the better; hear of the contemplated
improvement in the M. E.; notice of your
Reading Room, and learn of your new
School House-all these things are matter
of qualification to all interested in the place,
and tell plainly that the spirit of enterprise
is not dead in Elkton, though it moves
slowly along. On the other hand, it is very
unpleasant to see any commendable enter
prise partially fail for the want only of a
few dollars. the Commissioners did open
their hearts to build a new school house,
which is to last the town for years to come,
why not make it decent in appearance, if,
| per chance, it be conveniently arranged ?
| By all means let it have cupola and bell,
and be "spouted IF by no other means
than by private subscriptions. Boys, have
your school house we'll finished, if you have
to beg the money, and count in as a contrib.
utor, A FORMER RESIDENT.

AS your reporter has been absent from
the town few days, travelling over the
country, perhaps a brief statement of
what has come directly under our observa-
ton may not be uninteresting, as we are
sure of a dull letter this week when we
confine ourselves to news about town.
THE CROPS
were the first thing we observed, and were
somewhat surprised to find them even as
good as they are, having heard SO much
complaint about them. Farmers are at
work in dead earnest, moving their grass,
which in many places is poor, but some
places better, according to the locality
The potatoes look remarkably well, many
of them being in blossom and looking
thrifty and luxuriant. The bugs, where
we inquired, are not so plentiful now, as
they were few weeks ago, and in some
places not one is to be seen in whole
patch The corn is growing very prettly
indeed, but in some fields the cut worms
have left their mark, and in such places
the corn is very uneven. In almost every
corn field the farmers were at work Guilt
waiting, hoeing, or replanting. Gardens
look very nice, many vegetables being
ready for the table. Cherries of every
variety are very plentiful, and the bare
footed boys and girls could be seen, some in
the tree whilst others, who were too small
to climb, remained on the fence or ground
- al, oh hot oh
to fall. Indeed we can truly say that
everything of a negotiating nature looks
nice in the country.
NORTH EAST.
Having driven a long distance for a warm
day, we pulled our steeds to halt in North
East Il town, by the way, which we must
not neglect to mention. We were received
by Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Crouch, after
having looked after our horses. We would
take this method of thanking this lady
and gentleman for their kindness and hos
pitality to us. View sorry, however, to
learn that Mr.. Crouch, (the operator of the
Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Company, is
about leaving North East, the Company
having decided to close their office in that
town. In the dusky twilight. we, accom-
panied by friends, made several calls. Be
it said to the credit of the North East peo-
pie, that they cannot do too much for a
stranger, by way of kindness and those
smaller courtisies that are requisite to make
one feel at ease and at home. The ladies
particularly were very kind, entertaining
us with most excellent music, and taking
so much pains to show us the flowers,
which were blooming beautifully in their
yards.

Smelling Bee at Principle Furnace.

Hall of John f. jackson, near this place,
on Wednesday, the 23rd ultimo, the pro-
ceeds to purchase dictionary for use of

Second Class-Mr. ]. NJ. Campbell (cap-
tain, Miss Maggie Davenport, Miss Deb
bic Jackson, Miss Matte Taylor, Master

After spirited contest in which the
''king's" photography was handled in a
mastery manner, the trophy of triumph "a
beautiful bouquet) was awarded to Mr.. j.
NJ. Campbell, and also one to Miss Mary
Cosgrove, for being the last survivors on
the side of the opposition.
Prof Lynch, who had SO kindly RECALLED
the audience with those melting strains of
vocal and instrumental music, (Which
teach rocks to weep and make the noun
tains groan," came in also for floral tri-
butte, as an humble testimonial of our high
appreciation of his meritorious services.
We wished for another bouquet. Miss
Debbie Jackson certainly deserved one, as
she could only be slain by a sharp-shooter,
after all the forces Of the opposition had
found a grave, and she stood alone contest
ing for the post of honor with the captain
of her host, who has had many more years
of life to study the calibre and range of
alphabetical guns than Miss Debbie has
had. Thanks to the ladies', the siren tones
of whose voices so sweetly mingled with
those of the Prof to treat us to feast of
harmonious sounds.
AS many words darken speech, we sim
ply say, this bee was grand s@c'"32:: but
when on descending the steps to the room
below, our homeward progress was i'm
peded by the genial John E., who desig-
mated the spot on which he had located
massive plates of ice cream and ponderous
cakes, &C., for our refreshment, without
money and without price. Wewere dumb
founded; so we did Just what he wished us
to do, eat the same and say nothing, fully
resolved however, that if there be another
bee at Jackson's Hall, We'll be there.

parade through the town; marching to the
Landing, will leave there at s A. NJ, in

Deposit, by way of Perryville. The day

Deposit, by way of Perryville. The day
was intensely hot, and not being hurried,
we often stopped in the shade to rest our
horses and to have a chat with the farmers.
Arriving at Principle Furnace, we drove
down to the wharf of the creek and pro-
curing a boat took a ride down under and
through the great arched p, w. " Is.
railroad bridge over the creek at that place.
This bridge of heavy stone is really gigan-
tic, and presents a grand appearance
When speaking under the arch, being on
the water, the echo is so plain that it
seems as though there were another person
close by initiating every word uttered.
Having sailed around awhile, we were sur
prised to find it was four o'clock. We saw
the approaching thunder clouds and drove
faster to clear the rain, but we were too
late, being just in time to catch it good.
Arriving at Perryville we waited for clear
off but were disappointed, and the appear
ance being doubtful we started on risk
for home. Suffice it to say, that we were
out in the whole storm almost; and such
terrific thunder and vivid lightning we
never witnessed. Indeed the crashes sound
ed as though they would jar the very
heavens themselves. Arrived here about
nine o'clock Gas wet as drowned rat"
Thus closes our trip, except fearful head
ache and general dizziness the next day.
EXCURSION ON THE FIFTH.
The Fourth of July falling on Sunday
this year, there will be an excursion from
Baltimore to this place on Monday, the
Fifth. The affair, which is on the picnic
order, is for the benefit of St. Theresa's
Church of this town. The woods, as the
place for pleasure, as selected, is that of
Mr.. Hugh Steele, situated short distance
up Rock Run Hollow. There is never
failing spring of water adjoining the
grounds and easy of access. The water
being cold and excellent in quality, carri-
ages and horses can be driven on the
&""rrds with safety, thereby atfording an
opportunity for persons living in the conn-
try of spending our nations birthday in
pleasant and agreeable manner. There
will be two irst-class bands present to
enliven the occasion with excellent music.
Dinner will be spread in the grove for
those who desire it, Also, cakes, ice
cream and confectionery will be served on
