most beneicent character. pursues in

of other banks as it did in the days OF
its prosperity. It will resume.
The men of solid wealth who are the
friends and who have been the support
ers Of this great mart Of specie, have too
much spirit to consent to its downfall.
Moreover, a bank which has paid divi-
dends Of half million a year is too
favorably situated toward the money
making world to be closed out without
struggle. The money advanced to up
hold such an institution is well invested.
When the news Of the failure had come
and been followed by the announcement

Literary Entertainment.

Mr.. EDITOR A literary entertainment was
held at the Sandy Spring Lyeenm on Thursday
evening. April 22nd, aud The reciiatons,

enjoyable on the occasion that we Induced

hour, "while standing room only" greeted

and appropriate anecdotes.
The exercises opened by speech from Vie

by Miss Kate Clagett who read in her usual
attractive style sketch from Mark Twain's
droll writings and a humorous rhythm entitled
Spring - the most brilliant feature of the
evening next ensued, Miss Lucy S Crandel,
of Washington, responded to the Presidents
call by reciting an original poem in style
which n country neiahborhood rarely has the
opportunity of witnessing-the poem was no
common production in itself, and her striking
delivery called forth rounds of applause -
Robert H. Miller then gave us in clear and
eloquent manner 1.-The Tryst" (of vessel

of the most beautiful and touching poems in

When the readings were over the floor re-

silence once more reigned supreme that the
President was enabled to invite the spelling
class to come forward and divide off for the
contest.
AL first the current seemed hard to move

number TO some twenty persons. The Presi-
dent acted the part of pedagogue, and had the
pleasure Of giving out three hundred and sew
enty difficult words before the premium could
be awarded. Tie spelling generally was good
aud many of the small school girls excelled
their elders in the game.
As has been the case in most of the contests
Throughout, the country the ladies surpassed the
gentlemen with one exception the latter were
all retired long before the contest closed
Finally Mrs Walter II Brooke MAS declared
the victor, and received the prize, Ca hand
some basket of flowers offered by the Presi-
dent and also the congratulations of the
audience.
In conclusion we would suggest that these
entertainments do good in many ways (hcsides

and women, 6y stimulating our faculties and
by keeping warm that neighhorly feeling,
which is, after all, the one foundation stone of

Close of the Public Schools.

Mr. EDITOR IF my information is correct
and have good reasons for believing that
it is--all persons interested IN The public
schools of this county desire that lhey should
be continued during the whole scholastic year,
and from numerous inquiries which | have
recently heard, ! infer that the people gener-
ally do not understand the circumstances that
compelled the School Board to close the
schools for the present term. Now, if the
public school system is desirable and accepia-
bic, and the people are willing to paw for its
support--and thai they are who can doubt af-
ter witnessing their efforts TO keep the schools
open by private subscription-ihe County
Commissioners should not hesitate to lew the
amount which the County School Board re-
quires. and, if they refuse, think the People
should demand il of them. Why have a sy

enough to meet its demands? Some may Oh
