state Agricultural society.

On Tuesday, 9th inst, A. Bowie Davis
President of The Maryland State Agricultural
Society, in company with other members, and
W. N. Boiling, Engineer, visited the new
proposed grounds of the Society, at the juno
ton of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Balti-
more and Potomac Railroads, and examined
the location. A report was subsequently,
made that the grounds were especially suita-
bic for the purposes, but the committee fur
Their state that they do not find, either in the
city of Baltimore or in the State, any DISPOSE
ton among the people to assist in the pur-
chase of the grounds, consequently they report
the scheme as impracticable, and the report OF
the committee was adopted. Thereupon Mr.
Davis rendered his resignation as President Of
| the Society, but final action upon it was de-
| ferred until the next meeting of the Executive
| Committee. From this it would seem as il
the Society was about TO 60 to pieces, and
should this be the case an appropriate epitapl
would be "died of agricultural horse troi.''

LOCAL AFFAIRS
Ladies, Festival.

I
During Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings Of last week the ladies Of the NJ. e.
Church South of this place held Festival at
the Fair Grounds which WINS well attended,
and all who bad the pleasure Of being present
speak in the highest terms of the manner in
which the affair was conducted. The follow
ing ladies had charge of the recherche affair."
and without making any distinction in regard
10 who done the best, all deserve the greatest
credit.
The committee in charge of the supper and
refreshment table was Mrs. Anna Wilson
Mrs VIM. E Humphrey, Mrs. u. D. Waters
Mrs Mary Spencer, Mrs. |. r. MAus, Miss
HELEN Council and Miss Sidonia Humphrey.
The committee on confectionery and fruit,
Miss Eliza Waters, Miss Lucy Dice and Miss
Eddie Shekell.
The committee at "Jacob's WELL" Miss
Laura Muncaser, Miss Hattie Williams and
Miss Lille Maus.
The Committee at the flower table, Miss
Molie Dice, Miss Matte Stonestreet and Miss
Hattie Shekell.
The committee at the fancy table, Miss
Della Maus, Miss Sallie Kigour, Miss Addic
Stonestreet, Miss Hattie Shekell and Miss
Lou. Roszell.
On Friday evening the occasion was en-
livened by the reading of an original poem
! by Miss Wallace which elected unbounded ap.
plause. On Saturday evening the most anus
ing feature of the occasion was a vote, at len
cents, for the prettiest lady in the audience
which was decided in favor of Miss Add6it
Stonestreet and afterwards one for the uglies
man which no doubt was decided without re-
gard 10 features as there were several candi-
dates there who could have carried off the
palm in any audience in opposition TO our
friend t. F. Peter who received the highest
number of votes, beating Jas. P. Byas Esq. D.,
one vote. The defeat of some of his oppo-
nents was owing perhaps to a temporary happy
expression produced by that certainty of vic
tory which long established reputation for
uglness almost assured TO them. Of course
every one will know we were not present
The ladies who had charge of the affair
deserve great credit for the happy manner in
! which 1t was conducted.

1t is gratifying to see that the march of i'm
provement is now being manifested in our
town. The old Montgomery House SO long
and favorably known to the travelling public
and summer sojourners in our midst, is now
assuming more inviting proportions by the
addition of large back building and the
renovation Of the entire structure.
Among the improvements which add to the
beauty of our pleasant inland village we may
mention the new rustic fence placed around
the flower garden of Dr.. c. ]. Maddox, on
our principal street.
The Corporation authorities, never losing
sight of the comfort of our citizens and the
many strangers from the adjoining cities dur.
ing the year, have during the past few week.
made important improvements in our streets
and we have now as pretty a little town tc
invite the stranger TO as will be found in the
State.

was apparent that the audience had assem-
bled and anxiously awaited the ann ouneement
Of the opening selection. Very soon tall
parsonage was seen moving among the singers
upon the Stage, aud another glance showed
us that Prof. w. was present and rapidly
preparing to annonce the opening piece Ac-
cordingly, beautiful Esley organ having
been brought prominently TO the front, and
Miss Y. Of The Unity class seated before its
key board Prof w. advanced 10 the front Of
The Stage and announced that the singing Of
"Coronation, 10 an appropriate and familiar
tune. AT IA given signal the TWO classes were
instantly upon their feet, and sang the hymn
beginning as follows: fAll hail the power
Of Jesus name" &c. Notwithstanding we
had repeatedly heard this cororaiion rendered
by fine choirs before, il seemed on this occa-
sion to have a newness and sweetness about
it which we had never underood before. and
seemed to carry home 10 the hearts of the
audience the solemn conviction that lie only
(Chrisl) is worthy 10 be crowned Lord of ali
The exercises consisted of duets, uunrteties
and full choruses. Several family quarteites
were rendered by the Misses and Masters Cart
rell, one of @hch was very appropriate to the
times, entitled ''The Grange Song" The IA
Their and daughter Of the same family executed
couple of organ and clarionet duets, for
which they received the united applause Of
the audience One or Two beautiful quartettes
were sung by members of the Unity class also.
They were all admirably executed and deserv-
eddy applauded.
Space will not allow us to describe in detail
the numerous pieces that were sung nor will
it allow us to name all the individuals who
participated in the exercises. We will men
ton full chorus and then proceed 10 close
our letter. Just as the Queen of the night
approached the eastern horizon, and began to
shed her soft gentle effulgence abroad upon
the face OF sleeping nature, kissing and em-
bracing her with a gentle tremble as il to
arouse her from her slumber. into which The
shades of the evening had so recently rocked
her, TO greet her in her queenly beauty, the
two chors arose and sang a greeting 10 her
in the lines of a beautiful song entitled "The
Moonlight Chorus" This is certainly very
pretty piece and was executed in such man
ner AS to reflect honor upon both teacher and
classes. It's appropriateness to the hour rem
dered it doubly impressive.
The entertainment was perfectly successful
from the beginning to the end and all, judging
from the pleasant counenances and smiling
faces that everywhere greeted each other, were
perfectly delighted ard went home not regret
ting that they had attended one of Prof. Wal
kers grand musical concerts.

Mr. Editor The social enjoyment of this
community was very much enlivened on the
evening of the sth inst, by musical enter
ment given in St. Lake's church OF this place,
by Prof. G. W. Walker and two of his sing
ing classes. These two classes belong respect
lively to Unity and Crowtown. The former
is a class of considerable experience, aud fine
musical talent; the later is young of limited
experience, but excellent natural ability. The
evening was calm, pleasant, and beautiful +.

hour and soon the holse was well filled with
very respectable company.

The Baltimore american of Wednesday
says "Speaker Kerr was acquitted of the
charges against him by a committee on which
there were two Republicans members. The
unanimous report was brought into the House
and adopted with dissenting voiee,the propo-
sition to mark in the most emphatic way their
belief in Mr.. Kerr's integrity coming from a
Republican All this was right and proper.
The Speaker should no. have been condemned
on the testimony of Harvey when that was
the only evidence that he had forfeited his
reputation and his honor. 1t would have been
exceedingly outrageous to throw away his
meritorious record and hold him guilty sim
ply because one man--and he of doubtful an
tecedents-had endeavored TO swear away his
good name. Mr.. Kerr deserves his acquittal at
the hands of the committee and House, ard we
are glad that be has received it,"
