In one respect the Rector of Trinity
Church has reproduced the "Apostolic "
age as he has cultivated "Apostolic quail
tiles, being reviled he blesses, being perse-
cuted he suffers, being DETAINED he entrea.s
He is fatherly where sons are not filal.
He struggles even with those who are too
ignorant to comprehe nd and who smite the
more cruelty when they know how etfec-
tually the hands of those in authority are
tied and rendered powerless to retalate
Many men are ambitious and full of talent,
and when the prize does not fairly come
they snatch at it unfairly. This is precise
ly what he cannot DO. He would strive and
deserve, but if the crown is not laid upon
his head in the clear light of day and by
confession of absolute merit, he will wait,
looking with no envy, but in patient won
der and critical curiosity upon the so-eaHed
victors. WATCHMAN.

The average annual cost of keeping these
roads in repair, exclusive of new roads,
bridges, &C., has been about $50, 900, max
ing the cost per mile $500. Had half
this amount of money been judicously
applied and honest work performed, the
roads should and could have been kept in
much better condition than they generally
have been.
We hope the new system of selling the
roads will reform this great abuse by which
the taxes were wasted; and it is the inter
est of every taxpayer to encourage faith
full trial of the new system.

NORTH EAST, March 10th, 1875.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The paragraph in our
last letter, which you criticised so bitterly
was inadvertently put in wrong shape. 1t
should have read thus" OF course the
Grand Jury has right to exercise their
own best judgment, but we can't see any
halfway measure they can take, but to
crush the whole whisky traffic as a nuis-
ance and curse to the people. Evidently
they cannot sanction knowing evil either
in whole or in part as political, moral or
religious economy
Thanking you for yonr kind reproof, we
remain, Ever yours,

Missionary Anniversary.-The Mission
arv Anniversary of the Sunday School at
tached to the Methodist Episcopal Church,
of this town, took place in that Church, on
Wednesday evening last. Addresses were
delivered by Rev. E. Miller. Pastor of the
church, and Rev. Geo. r. Bristor Pastor
of the NJ. L. Church, at Chesapeake City,
The latter was the address of the evening,
and was in that gentlemans usual happy
style, forcible and elegant and wonderfully
appropriate to the occasion. The music
was by the School, and considering the fact
that but little practice was had, was very
creditable. The principal interest of these
anniversaries, however, always center in
the reports of missionary offerings by the
various classes composing the School The
offering of each class was brought forward
by one of it's members and placed at the
foot of very handsome cross, prepared
for the occasion by members of Glass No. /.
The entire offering amounted to about $3.50.
Just before the close of the services the
Pastor of the Church was presented with
an envelope (and eontents), as token of
regard from the young people of the
Church. He received it in very neat and
pleasant little speech.
The anniversary was a decided success,
and we trust that the offerings there made
by the children may do much good.

Road AuctiOu.-On Thursday the roads
of the Third District were disposed of at
auction to the lowest bidders, the sale for
the entire district aggregatng 1920
Last year the same roads cost to keep them
in miserable order 50, 1893 &c. this included
included in the sale. The sale was for one
year with the privilege of taking them for
three years at the same rate per year. The
most of the bidders bonded for three years.
and at the prices may make very fair
profit, after keeping the roads in first-rate
repair. So the cost cannot be more than
it was last year with certainty of the
roads being kept at least fifty per cent bet
ter than they have heretofore been.
The bidding was very spirited, the sale
attracting great deal of interest and quite
large crowd of the substantial men of the
neighborhood.
The Commissioners were we'll satisfied
with the sale and encouraged by the inter
est taken by the public in the new process.
To the above cost will have to be AIDED the
expense of bridges and the pay of the In
spectors; the latter not very large item,
while it reduces the matter to a certainty
of the supervisor doing his duty if the In
spector is a competent and conscientious
man.
On Friday the sale of the Second Dis
trict took place at Chesapeake City, and
to-day the First District will be sold at
Cecilton.
Next week on the days named in the
advertisement the roads in the remaining
districts will be sold in the order named.

The Public Roads of Cecil County
Mr.. W. T. Miller has completed beauti-
fully executed set of charts of the public
roads of Cecil county, on scale of an inch
and half to the mile, each district occu-
plying a separate chart, on which the roads
are accurately laid down and divided into
sections, in distances embracing mile to
two miles and half. The length and num-
Der of each section is given in a descrip-
tive catalogue, by which any section can
be pointed out in a moment. Had there
been sufficient time after the completion of
the charts to have published the descrip-
tive catalogue, bidders would have had a
much better opportunity of selecting Sec
tions and making their estimate; but max
ing set of accurate charts required good
deal of time and labor to complete, which
Mr.. Miller has accomplished in very artis
tic and creditable manner indeed. When
he failed to get the necessary data from
Martinett's map of the county, and the
plots of roads on file in the Commission
ers' office, he examined the ground and got
the proper location and measurements
Outside of the town limits there are COG,

ONE LITTLE, TWO LITTLE, THREE LITTLE
INGUNs.
The Modoc Indians, who made such a
square fight with the United States troops
in the lava beds, have, as is well known,
succumbed to the power of the Govern
ment, and are now peaceaby settled upon
the reservations allotted to them. Com
missioner Meacham, who barely escaped
with his life from the Cauly massacre, has
been making starring tour, in which Scar
faced Charley, Shack-nasty Jim, Steam
boat Frank, and others of the Modoc band
who have signalized themselves by acts of
personal bravery, occupy conspicuous and
prominent positions. l had the pleasure
of seeing the above-named parties, whose
names have already become historical, and
found it difficult to realize that the quiet
and placid looking copper colored gentle
men before me were portion of the Spar
tan band, which for such length of time,
resisted the attacks of our regular troops.
Scar faced Charley, after the removal to
the Indian reservation, attended church,
and knew enough of English to understand
that white men paid special honor to the
name of the Saviour. About two months
since he had a boy born to him. The
Quaker superintendent asked him what he
had called it. Jesus answered Char
ley. They all give another evidence of
their advance in civilization by wearing
paper collars and silk hats smoking cigars
and drinking fire. water.
BY the way, dear Wig, speaking Of fire.
water reminds me of the fact that you are
having quite controversy in Cecil county
OH that subject. But being somewhat spr
ituously inclined, | have nothing to say on
the subject further than to state that the
Washington g Observer " and the COB
server of North East are separate and
distinct personages; and as l am at loss
to know whether | am the original or a
duplicate obverser, l am willing to step
down and out, and hereafter subscribe

CIVIL RIGHTS.


The hotel and restaurant proprietors here
are in quandary as to their course of &C
ton under the civil rights bill. Some of
them have consulted eminent counsel, and
it is probable that a case will be made to
test the constitutionality of the bill before
the courts. AS yet the hotel keepers have
not been troubled by application for enter
tainment by colored persons but they are
on the ragged edge of despair. Carter
Stewart, the colored barber at Wizards
Hotel, on Thursday of last week refused
to shave two colored men who made appli-
cation for tonsorial treatment, and it is
likely that 4 colored man will be the first
victim of the civil rights bill in this Dis
trict.

- Last Friday night, the grist mill
at Winooski, was entered by burglars
and s25 or $50 were stolen from the
drawers of desk, but the safe was not

prying open one of the doors.
The following is well authenticated :
A COW belonging to Mr.. Silas Davis, Of
Enosburg, gained access to Mrs. DIS
clothesline, and ate before being discover
ed, five skeins of carpet warp yarn, six
knots in skein. The old COW undoubt-
ly mistook the warp for " filing" and
used it for that purpose. The new diet
did not seem to injure in the least the
health of the COW, but rather seemed to
agree with her appetite, for she has since
made fresh attack upon the same line,
and nearly devoured pair of Mr. DIS
