With the advent of the very late and much
welcomed Spring, business has begun to
brisk up considerably in our qni"- little vii
lage. Fishing and ducking form the lead
ing objects of pursuit of the majority of
our inhabitants, on which they mainly de-
pend for their livelihood. The ducking was
very poor indeed the past season. Fishing,
too, has been very dull, very few fish of any
kind having been caught up to last week.
The shad OILERS have been doing quite well
the past few days; so, also the hauling
seines. The fishermen (gillers) generally
"put up in small houses or cabins, built
for the purpose, at Red Point, White Banks,
Mountain, Wild Duck, and other places
along the shores of the favorite fishing
grounds, during the fishing season; but
come up to town on Saturday evenings to
procure provisions, ETC., and return on
Sunday afternoon, generally. They, or
some of them at least, do not observe the
Sabbath very strictly, as they use that day
to "prepare for to begin to make ready to
fish,, or as sort of preparatory occasion
for the week. labor. But you know "the
Good Man sends us the fish and we have to
catch them when they are about" 1t is
grand sight to sit on the veranda OF some
cottage along the river bank of our town,
on beautiful afternoon, and view the fish
ermen setting out for their "down river
houses" or fishing grounds. The after
noon in particular that we refer to, there
was scarcely breeze enough to make a rip
pie on the mirror-like surface of the water,
so calm was it that they were compelled to
row their crafts-although much against
their wishes-instead of sailing, as they
generally do. The whole expanse before
our view was dotted with the boats, which
looked, when a distance off, like "water
spiders" on the surface of a brook; and
then they gradually faded away to mere
speck in the distance. But at night the
"hats ~ or fishing grounds present a mag
nificent appearance, like unto gas Ii city,
from the lantern-b uoys attached to the
nets.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson has commenced his
labors here, and is highly spoken of as an
able and efficient minister.
The wheat in this vicinity looks remark
ably we'll; better, in fact, than any we have
seen elsewhere. The farmers are busy
making ready and planting corn.
Near this village is the famous "Cool
Spring." noted for its emitting such a
large quantity of pure cold water. We
are not sufficiently acquainted with it to
assert that it is an "elixir," possessing
health giving qualities or power of restor
ing youth and beauty, but recommend it to
our "dyspeptics and Timothys as far
superior to Algard's " fire water"

Mr.. Sweetapple, manager of the Ledger

heifers, three months old, which will pull

of choice flowers. Lovers Of the sweet and

Mr.. Geo. McNeal continues to improve
his premises.
Burnett, the painter, is kept busy with
the brush, but does not blow his trumpet
with an itemizer's pen, like painter of the
Democrat, who garbled the following item,
which appeared in Tho Wigs Cherry Hill
Items of May LIST:
"John M. Terrell slaughtered a fine calf,
bought from John Lungren, weighing 1875
pounds, five weeks old.
Painter, who is famous humorist, and
likes to find deceased person to sit on,
changed the above sentence to read "thusly''
John NJ. Terrell slaughtered calf,
bought of John Lungren, aoho aoeighed 1875
pounds, and five weeks old We wonder
how much Lungren would weigh if he was
right fat and few weeks older"
At this rate, if painter don't get job
soon, his ears will begin to take second
growth. Can't somebody furnish him with
whitewash brush and a pot of lime?

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. four O'Clock, on
Monday morning last, the residence of Jas.
J. CHM, near Head of Sassafras, in this
county, was set on fire by colored boy,
who lived with the family, aged about ten
or eleven years, named Eugene Scott, whose
father is now in the penitentary for theft.
Mr.. CHM, his wife and DR.. Chas. E. Rob-
erts, were in the house at the time of the
fire and fortunately made their escape.
Very little of the furniture was saved.
DR.. Roberts was an invalid, having been
Frustrated by a paralytic stroke some time
previous. He was assisted down stairs and
out to the porch by Mrs. CHM, from where
he was carried by a neighbor, Mr.. Sinick-
son, who had reached the scene of the fire.
The sick mans trunk, containing consid-
cradle sum Of money, was saved, which was
nearly every thing of value which escaped
the flames. The house destroyed was
large, we'll finished frame dwelling, valued
at $1,000. We understand there was no
insurance on the property. Scott, the
young incendiary, accuses two other col
ored boys with instigating him to the deed,
which they deny having any thing to do
with. The three boys were together on
Sunday evening, and Scott says that Will
liam Price, the larger of the two accused
boys, gave him five cents to purchase coal
oil and match to fire the house with. The
story is fishy, for Price was several miles
away from the scene, at his home when the
act was committed.
Scott confesses that ne set the house on
fire, and gives as the only reason that the
boy Price told him to do SO. The three
boys were brought to Elkton and lodged in
JAIL but the youngest who appears to be
about eight years of age, and Price have
been released.
Scott is charged with being thief from
instinct, and Mr.. CHM had told him on
Saturday evening that he would punish him
on Monday for committing some otfense.
A few weeks previous he had stolen Mrs.
Ginn's gold watch and secreted it under a
carriage cushion. The boys whom Scott
accuses of advising him to fire the house,
say that he told them that Mr.. Ginn's house
was to be burned on Sunday night.
The perplexing question arises for solu-
ton by our advancing civilization-what
shall be done with such moral deformities
as this boy, whose passion of destructive
ness amounts to an instinct, completely
blotting out the moral sentiments? There
is little-in fact no hope that this class will
ever be any thing else than a standing
menace to the peace and safety of society.
The law indeed says hang them. This is
effectual as far as the individual is con-
cerned but the moral sentiment of an ad-
vancing civilization revolts against it. Our
prisons have served only to make such alb
normal characters worse. What shall be
done with them?
