The ST. Mary's (Md) Beacon reminds its
readers that the coming March term of the
Circuit Court will afford those indebted to it
Il convenient opportunity TO settle their in
debtcdncss. Though much in need of mon
ey it recognizes the depressed condition of
the times, but modestly says as the bills are
mostly small, and as it would be satisfied
with partial payment where it would be in
convenient to pay the full amount, it feels
justified in asking fractional assistance from
all parties indebted for a longer period
than twelve months. 1t must be q hard
headed and quite unprncipled or hopeless
ly impecunious subscriber who can resist
such an appeal. Our county contemporary
les may not always feel authorized to insist,
as Tile Sun does, upon payment in advance,
but for that very reason just and honest men
should never neglect or postpone the pay
ment of their obligations. They would think
it hard case indeed if, after they had paid
for subscriptions or advertisements in adj.
vance they should never receive their paper
nor see their advertisements in print, but it
would not be harder case in any way than
the failure TO pay after papers and advertise.
ments have been obtained. An example ola
delinquent newspaper after receiving pay is
rare, but delinquent subscribers are plenty as
blackberres where the principle Ct payment
in advance is not insisted on. The snbdued
tone of the Beacon in pleading for what be-
longs to it is universal among the country
journals, and not very creditabe 10 those in
debled to them. Philosophical and honest
men in the rural districts ought to support
their local papers promptly and literally for
they are generally not only worth more than
their subscription price in the information
and intellectual rcfreshment which they af
ford, but they call public attention to the af-
fairs, advantages and interests of their own
counties and districts in way which could
not be effectively done through any other
medium. 1t is therefore the interest of the
country people as well as their press that
they should pay the printer Baltimore San.

CORRESPONDENCE
Notes from Aberdeen and Vicinity.

Since last writing we have been favored with
several entertainments here. First the ladies
and gentlemen Of Grove Church gave an exhibit
ton in the basement Of the church, for the Par
sonage fund. 1t was well attended and elected
many concentrations of praise from all who
were present. An exhibition of Centennial
Views was given in the Public School Hall,
which, though poorly attended, was said to be
very fine.
The Scott Literary Association still prospers.
About two weeks ago the subject of Compulsory
Education was discussed at some length, and
the decision given for the affirmative.
Last Tuesday evening 9th inst, there was
an entertainment in the Town Hall at Havre de
Grace. Miss Leila Michael made her debut as
singer in this place, where her fine contralto
voice won her an enviable reputation. Miss Mary
7. Marshall, of Philadelphia who is graduate
of the National School of Oratory, filled the
programme with readings. BY her vivid per-
sonaton of the varied characters and emotions
portrayed in her readings, she readily won a
place in the hearts of the people, which in fact
she does wherever she goes, She has our best
wishes for her success in the path she has
chosen that of the rostrum. Some weeks since
lecture, entitled "The Bar-Room Door" was
delivered in the basement of Grove Church, by
Mr.. A. d. Clopton, of Virginia.

The Missing Articles at the Hartford Fair.

MIR. EDITOR; | was sorry to see in YOUR
paper last week letter from a young LADY who
seems to think she has been badly treated by
the officials In the Ladies' Department of the
Hartford Agricultural Society. If the missing
article had been followed up at the close of the
exhibition, oradvertised Immediately after, they
would certainly have been recovered. | have
never heard Of anything being stolen or per.
manentlv lost Mt the Fair. Deposits are some.
times misplaced, and there is confusion, of
course, where so much is brought together in
such short time But all this could be avoid
ed if depositors would strictly adhere to the
rules of the Society relating to that Department
All articles intended for exhibition should be
deposited before the opening of the Fair Their
owners are requested to remove them upon a
certain day, always named at the time Now,
it is only reasonable to suppose that depostors
will look to their own interest, and if they do
not present their tickets and receive their prop
erty in person, they will have some friend TO see
after it for them.
The ladies on the different committees in
charge of this department have always arranged
the articles sent in with good taste, and with n
correct eye towards making the best display
possible of everything IT is through no fault
Of theirs the young lady's work was kept in the
background, ! am sure, and | sincerely hope
she may recover her property, through the
medium Of your paper, and when she does, will
venture the wish that she may think more kind

SOUTH CAROLINA AND LOUISIANA. The
breaking down of the opposition to Hayes in
his own party has had a very depressing eff

carpet-bag claimants for Governor in Louis

FEMALE EDUCATIoN-As the mother is
the natural instructor of her children, and, in
their earlier years, teaches them to think and
to act, it is of the first importance that her
own mind be duly cultured, as her children
will reflect her own intelligence. The his
tory of the world shows that all the great
men have had great mothers. Our own
State has made provision for the liberal cd.
ucation of men by the establishment of three
colleges, and one academy or more in every
county, while the Frederick Seminary, Pa.
tapsco Institute, ST. Mary's Seminary, and
the Baltimore Female College are the only
female institutions that have received the
bounty of the State. In the latter are twenty.
five free scholarships, on which one pupil
from each county is educated without charge
for tuition or books. One hundred and
fifty-seven teachers have been educated in
the College who are doing good service
through the State and over the country.

ford is vacant at present. Application may

should have the same judgment against them

on which doubt the last Provincial Court, in
favor of life, gave judgment against the per.
son convict of burning Kent County Court
House, only that he should be burnt in the
