Mr.. Hammond: The other evening, Mr..
Hammond preached from text, Saul. Saul,
why persecutest thou me?" In the audience
there was an engineer named Saul, who was
accompanied by his wife and little girl. The
reverend gentleman repeated his text several
times, 'Saul, SAnl. why persecu'cst thou
me?" At last the little ore, who thought the
text had personal application. looked up
into the face Of her parent and said, ''Father,

to make the presentation speech, there hav-
ing been three nominal prizes provided; a
copy of the Bible, Pilgrims Progress, and
a copy of Webster's school dictionary
Miss Howard waived her right to the first
choice in favor of George Reese, who Sc
lected Pilgrims Progress. Mr.. Hanna
received the Bible, and Mr.. Mcfarland the
dictionary. Mr.. Jones made a very happy
speech on the occasion, in which he awaited
himself of the opportunity to praise the
English language as ga grand old Ian
guage' and encouraged the more thorough
study of it; especially of its photography.
The entertainment afforded a very pleasant
evenings enjoyment, which pointed out
how profit and pleasure may be so blended
as to make these two almost natural enc
mics, as fraternal as the happy family. The
"spelling bee" ought to become a popular
institution and remain fixed one, for it
would lead to a closer study of the Ian
guage and a more thorough knowledge of
its photography. The net proceeds of the
"bee' sci.
P. S. We neglected to state in the pro
per place that MI. johnson claimed to have
spelled partisan with 81" on dictionary
authority. Walker or Johnson, we believe,
spells the word that way, and it must be
admitted that there is some excuse for the
temptation to patronize ones namesake who
has been great.

Business is at stand still. The iron
they do not run full it seems to effect all
other branches of business in this place.
The storekeeper can be seen walking his
porch awaiting a customer, and the me-
chanics have nothing to do but see that
the new drug store clerk does not poison
any one.
r. p Mcdowell & Bro. are about to
commence a pier under the bridge of the
Z. & b. G. railroad over the Octoraro
creek at this place.
Fishing season las come, and the creek
is full of set nets, and some of our citizens
are getting fat and saucy.
On Tuesday, April 9th, one DR.. Deedaun
came to this place, accompanied by his
wife and one who professed to be Trustee
of Principle church. HIS object was to
deliver an address on medicine, and by the
request of this Trustee, who gave his word
as Il gentleman that he would be responsible
for everything. The Trustees of Harmony
Chapel admitted him to the basement of
their church, for which he WIS to pay them
the one fourth or one-third of the proceeds.
The DR.. in his discourse tried to show us
wiser. He also declared that the magma
ton caused almost all diseases and that
the cause of them would work a cure
Aud to prove his remarks he took up sub
jects that he knew nothing of whatever.
He told us that every town like this had
its town bully, the tattler or busybody,
and that the imagination would cause a
man to think that he was an elephant or
an angel. He came down on pork like a
thousand of brick, and they tell ME that
the ham of one of our citizens went down
him just as heavy. But he forgot to tell
us that he would sneak away and take
with him that which did not belong to him.
Now, Mr.. Trustee did you know your man,
or were you taken in as well as were the
Trustees of our church. Take my advice
and never vouch for a stranger again, for
all Of this class are humbugs of the first
water And this man has proven that he
was wise enough to throw sand i'll yours
and our eyes, and that we are certainly
weak enough to be humbugged May all
church Trustees be on their guard aud
never endorse the doings and sayings of
these church spongcrs.

Our city being placed at the head of
navigation or tide water, has the advantage
of being exempt from danger by floods aud
ice gorges which have wrought such great
loss on many river towns the present
Spring.
We claim to have one of the busiest
towns in the county. A visitor to this
place would readily conclude that hard
times had fled from here. The cheerful
sound of the hammer is heard in all parts
of the place, and the disturbance of noise
proceeding from mechanical tools is likely
to increase before long. The erection of a
large Touring mill here by Messrs. II. Ber-
get & Son is on the tapis at present, which
project we hope will be carried through to
completion.
The canal is now in full operation, pass
ing as high as seventy boats per day.
The fishermen are in high hopes of a
prosperous season. On the 9th inst, Jas.
Jes, one of our citizens, caught the first
shad, which was sent to this market. The
proprietor of the Bayard House, Capt. F.
Layman, had offered So fer the first fine
shad that was caught, and they soon found
this market.
The Rev. Mr.. Newman, the new Metho-
dist minister of this charge, preached his
first sermon here on the 4th inst, which
was one of the ablest that has been deliv-
cred in that church for considerable time
previous. In the evening he preached
again to a crowded house. The fastidious
and hard to please must have been satisfied,
for on the 1lGh inst. the church was crowded
both morning and evening. Our town is
blessed with two superior pastors. Rev.
Mr.. Mallory preached two able sermons
also, last Sabbath, in the Presbyterian
church to full house.
Our farmers have finished seeding oats
and are pushing forward blowing for corn.

A New Public School House for ElktOn.

The School Commissioners have at last
taken steps to provide Elkton with a Pub
lie School building, such as the town de-
mands. Proposals are advertised for in to-
days Wig to erect such a building as has
long been required, and for the want of
which the children of the town have greatly
suffered. The citizens ought to see to it
that the building, when completed, is pro-
perly furnished with every modern appl-
ance most useful in the school room. A
few spelling bees and exhibitions by the
pupils would he convenient way to add to
fund for the complete outfit of a first
class school building, and if properly man
aged, no doubt considerable might be col
lected as donations for that purpose. But
the first thing of all is proper building of
sufficient size to accommodate comfortably
200 to ESQ pupils. The plan of the build
ing proposed by the Commissioners. is a
two-story structure, containing one large
room and one recitation loom on each floor
with the necessary book and clothes clos
cts. Whether one large room or number
of smaller rooms. which divide the pupils
into companies of %, so or more is best, is
subject we are not competent to give sat
isfactory opinion on; but trust the School
Board will act with the knowledge that ex-
perience has supplied, in deviSng and com
pleting this important work. The new
building ought to be provided with bell,
which will have to be supplied by private
will not feel authorized to furnish one.
There is one matter which our school
experience and subsequent observation has
satisfied us in regard to, in the arrangement
of pupils. 1t is that girls and boys should
be taught in separate rooms and in separate
classes. They are essentially different in
their natures. Boys are naturally rude,
rough, and too often where home training
is bad or neglected almost cn.ii; Y vulgar.
Girls are, with few exceptions, the Ievc. >,
are far more gentle and more manageable.
In country schools it is impossible to sepa-
rate them, but in a school of 200 pupils,
with properly divided building, there
would be no difficulty about it. To do
large room on each floor.
Mending the oads.-Every person COM
ing from the lower Districts are loud in
expressions of their admiration for the
working of the new system of mending
the roads. After travelling over the rough,
rutty roads which have been kept out of
order for half or three fourths of a century
by the old system, and entering on the
roads which Mr.. Conry has dressed up with
his New Jersey patent scraper, they say it
is like moving over race track, so smooth
and level are the roads. In addition to the
great difference in the quality the roads
are beginning to assume under the new
management, it is estimated that Mr. Conry
will make $500 annually. on his contract,
which he took at about the annual cost to
the county under the old system.
