Our Calendar.
With the TINES to-day we send Calen-
dar for the year 1875, which our readers
will find very useful. They can paste it
up anywhere and will find it of the great
est convenience in the way of reference
In addition to the ordinary convenience
which calendars afford, this has the furth-
er one of having every day numbered from
the LIST of January to the 31st of December
so that one can in a moment find out
the number of days intervening between
any two days of the year. This feature
alone should make it invaluable to bust
ness men.
Death Of Colonel JOHN d. Bowling.
We regret very much to announce to our
readers the death of this gentleman, who.
though not a resident of our county, was
known to many of them. He died at
Barnum's Hotel, Baltimore, on Tuesday,
in the 69th year of his age, of an accute
attack of pneumonia. Col. Bowling was
a native of Bryantown, in this county. He
was early in life engaged in mercantile
pursuits and therein laid the foundation
of the large fortune which he acquired.
He afterwards removed to Woodville, in
Prince Georges county, where he built
himself an almost palatial residence where
in it was his great pleasure to dispense a
most lavish hospitality. He always took
prominent part in politics and frequent
ly represented his county in both branches
of the Legislature. He was genial in dis
position and of strong personal friendships.
He lived to a good age--long enough to
see his children married and settled for
life, and departing he left them enough of
worldly treasures to advance them far on
the road to prosperity. We learn from
the Baltimore papers the following:
'sAt late hour on Saturday night he was
talking with some friends in the hotel, appar-
emily well, but upon retiring he experienced a
sudden attack of pneumonia, from which time
he sank rapidly. Up to the hour of his death
he was fully conscious of his situation. and
conversed nationally with those around him
His wife, two married daughters, and sons,
Messrs. John and Gill Bowling, arrived on
Monday, in response to kilograms. During his
illness he was frequently visited by prominent
Catholic priests of the city, and among Others
the Rev. Father John Foley, of St. Martin S
Church"
The remains Of Col Bowling were, on
Wednesday, conveyed to the Calvert-stree
Station from Barnums Hotel accompani-
ed by Messrs. Daniel Dorsey, Harris. Hold
ges, Oden Bowie, Robert Baldwin, VIM.
P. Maulsby, John H. Southoron, Edward
Worthington and Daniel Clarke, as pail
bearers. The remains, accompanied by
the family and several friends of the de-
ceased, left the station at 1914, by the
Potomac Railroad, for the late residence
of the deceased, where the funeral took
place yesterday.
school Commissioners.
DR.. T. A. CarrIco having declined the
re-appointment of School Commissioner.
recently made by the Circuit Judges, the
other two members of the Board-Col. S.
Cox and DR.. I. G. Price-at the called
meeting on Tuesday last, qualified and
then adjourned without further organiza-
ton. The Secretary OF the old Board,
who holds over, is authorized to give no.
tice for another meeting as soon as he is
notified of the appointment of person to
fill the vacancy caused by the declension of
DR.. Carrico.

Our readers must not forget that the
Festival of Crescentia Lodge of the
Changers takes place on next Tuesday
We can promise all who will attend a
rare treat in the Address of the Hon. Jas
S. Robinson, to say nothing of the Dinner

Changes.
With new years day came changes in
our otherwise staid town. Mr.. w. J.
Moore took charge of the Brawner House.
where he proposed to dispense sample
of that hospitality for which Moores
Hotel liz Leonardtown is so famous. Land
lord Bureh still remains at the hotel as a
leeker-on and "a gentleman of elegant
leisure and means We wish good luck
to our new, young and good looking land
lord.
Our old standby, Mr.. George a. Hunt.
is also on hand and has moved into
the old Middleton property. heretofore
purchased by him, and which he has re-
fitted. He is also an old stager at this
business, and there is no doubt but he
will receive his full share Of patronage as
he deserves to.
Mr.. Luther A. Martin is not behind
hand. He has an idea that the nearer he
gets to the Court House the nearer he will
get to the hungry and thirsty people. So
he has taken the old Reeder mansion and
has opened first-class restaurant, wherein
he proposes to feed and liquor all who
may give him a call. Luke has certainly
kept No. table during the last year.
AS to his liquors, as we never indulge, we
can't say,
The Mails,
Our friends of Prince Georges have sue
ceeded in obtaining an entering wedge to-
wards removing the great Inconvenience
from which they suffer by the present mail
delivery by the cars. They get mali from
Washington across the country by way of
Silver Hill AS yet they only get the mail
from Washington city, but that is much
gained. By this arrangement the mail
leaves Washington at A. NJ, and arrives
at Marlboro at about noon. The fact that
our friends have succeeded in doing this
much for themselves should stimulate US
to renewed exertions.
Sale of q Small Farm.
On Tuesday last, S. Cox, Jr., as Trustee,
sold the farm of the late John Delozier,
subject to the widows dover. which was
laid off. for $500. This farm is near Pom
fret Church, and contains about 1873 acres.
