Mess,s. Editnra Il am credtably informed that
John I. Teiiott is Sgain attacking We ssf i. 80.
County Commissioners, and in his speeches makes
the following charges: That the report was made
out in the hand writing of John T. Ensor, except
the signatures that l confessed to him in Bal
tmore my inability to find the figures to contradict
the statement of the Democratic committee; that
Mr.. Ensor was called upon to make out the report
and the Commissioners never revised or examined
the statement; that it was John T. Ensor's state
ment and in direct contradiction of the Auditors
report; that Mr.. Ensor was engaged in the Com
missioners' Office on Sunday in making thatreport;
that the printed copies of the report of the Special
Auditors since he (Yellott) had commenced to use
them were not SO easily gotten, &c., TO-
All of these charges I pronounce unqualifedly
false I met Mr. Yellott In Baltimore city ON Sat
urday few hours after reading his report, and
told him had no fault to find with his figures, but
his unkind allusion to me and my ability as aclerk
was uncaled for. He assured me there were no
illusions of personal character to me in his re-
port. As to attempt to prove or disPro0e the
figures in his report upon the street, without any
data at hand, would seem to have been simply
ridiculous, afterwards prepared the figures
given in the Commissioners report from the books
in our Office which they carefully e.amined. This
is the only interview have had with Mr.. fellott,
Aud while smarting considerably at what l sup
posed to be unkind remarks over the signatures OF
some of our best citizens, have indeed felt more
charity than malice against him since reading the
published charges against him in the Union and
Journal of Oct. 18th.
I must therefore state in justice to all concern
ed that the Commissioners report was not made
out in the hand writing of Mr.. Ensor; that the
Commissioners did read and critically examine
every word and syllable of their report, and the

End PRECINCT, 12TH DISTRICT,
October 23d, 1877.
Messrs. Editors:-I notice in your issue of last
week an alusion to John /. Yellott's arraignment
of Mr. Robt. S. Corse for his efforts in securing
the erection of the pile bridge over Back River.
In this connection l submit to the people Of Bal
timore county the following: Before the erection
of this bridge the people who reside in Back river
neck and part Of Middle river neck were COM
PEELED to haul their produce Is miles to find mar
ket, over turnpike the charges for toll on which
are burdensome, and necessitating the keeping Of
double the amount of stock required for home pur-
poses in order to haul to market, thereby subject
ing them to great inconvenience, loss of time and
almost incalculable expense, the result of all of
which was to detract from rather than add to the
wealth of our community.
Since the new bridge (about which Mr.. Yellott
is in so much agony has been built our people
have been able to find market for truck fish, &c. at
less than half the distance, being now less than
miles from The Broadway market house, and with
no toll to pay, thus putting them on an equal foot
ing with others who attend said market.
In his TRADE against Mr.. Corse and the bridge
Mr. Yeott seeks to create hostility to the People
ticket by giving Mr. Ensor the credit for the cree
ton Of Back river bridge. If this is so the tax
payers will hold Mr.. Ensor in grateful remem-
brance for thus relieving them.
would call the attention of the calf that bieats
about Back river bridge to the one on Edmondson
avenue which has not been used since it was built

Fuel for the schools the ensuing year will not

You, in connection with your Trustees, are ex-
pected to see that your school is supplied.
Respectfully,
THos C. BRUFF, Secretary.
1 would like to know what becomes of all the
money levied and paid to the School BOord for
school purposes? To compel teacher to supply
fuel for his school out of his low salary looks pref
ty hard. But suppose he will either have to do
it, freeze, give up his profession

Saturday last at the hall of Mantua Grange, No.

in the chair. The attendance was large and the
session protracted one. One of the subjects un-
der discussion was the draft of a new road law for
the county, passage of which is to be urged upon
the next Legislature. lively debate was had on
the merits Of the proposed law as compared with
the one now in force and preceding one, and con-
siderable difference of views was developed. 1t
was finally determined to have the bill printed as
reported by the committee, and to resume its con-
sideration at the next meeting in December. Ac-
ton was taken a number of other propositions,
among those adopted being resolutions asking the
Legislature to withhold the appropriations now
given to the Agricultural College and to devote
the same amount, so much as may be required,
to maintain an agricultural experiment station,
which would give substantial benefits to the farm
ers.

The Words we Use.

1t has been calculated that our
language, including the nomencla-
ture of the arts and sciences, con-
tain 100000 words; yet Of this i'm
mense number it is surprising how
few are in common use. To the
great majority even of educated men,
three fourths Of the words are al
most as unfamiliar as Greek or
Choctaw. Strike from the lexicon
all the words nearly obsolete-all
the words Of special art or profess
sions-au the words confined in their
usages to particular localities-all
the words which even the educated
speaker uses only IN homeopathic
dosses-and it is astonishing into
what a Lilliputian volume your
BrObdignagian Webster or w Worces-
ter has shrunk. It has been calcu-
lated that a child uses only about a
hundred words and, unless he be-
longs to the educated classes he will
never employ more than three or
four hundred, A distinguished
American scholar estimates That few
speakers or writer's use as many as
ten thousand words ordinary per-
sons, Of fair intelligence, not over
three or four thousand. Even the
great orator who is able to bring in
to the field, in the war of words
half the vast array of light and heavy
troops which the vocabulary affords,
yet contents himself with far less
imposing disploy Of verbal forces.
Even the all-knowing Milton, whose
wealth of words seems amazing, and
whom Dr.. Johnson charges with U.S.
ing "a 3abylonian dialect" uses on
ly eight thousand and Shakespeare
himself, s'the myself" the myriad
minded" only fifteen thousand.
These facts show that the difficulty
of mastering the vocabulary of a
new tongue is greatly oVerrated and
they show, too, how absuded is the
boast Of every new dictionary max
er, that his vocabulary contains SO
many thousand words more than his
/ predecessors.
