Our MEMORIAL AND DECORATION DAY.
We understand that the Executive Cons
mittee of the Lee Memorial Association of
Jefferson county, has fixed upon the second
Saturday Goth day. of June as the time for
Decoration of Confederate graves at this place.
The aim of this Association is to get the
people of our whole county interested in its
object of preserving alive and fresh the mem
DRY of our fallen soldiers. The Association
is designed, as its name indicates, not to be
merely local one, but to embrace persons
from all parts of the county who approve its
object. And we do hope and invite full
representation.
We suppose that business meeting of
those who already belong to the Association
under its act of Incorporation, will be hold
during the day of Decoration and We suggest
that great number of persons come forward
at that time or before and join the Corpora
ton. The admission fee is only the small
sum of one dollar. The payment of this sum
will entitle you to all the privileges of the
Association and furnish ample means, if many
will make it, for relieving the beautiful mon
ument of debt That debt is a standing res
proach which might easily and ought certain.
ly and speedily to be removed. Let all the
people say 1T SHALL BE DONE.

PERsoNAL.-We had pleasant call last

Mr. Fouke is ono of the few mombers of the

He is safe lawyer and stands high in the

Bank Defalca tion.

The following particulars are given of
the alleged tdefalcation by Mr.. Richard
McF Farland, late cashier of the Elkton
(Md.) National Bank: lay q a
4 "About year ago Jacob Tome; Esq,
president of the E1kton Bank, offered
per cent. ON deposits of $1,000, the amount
to remain in the bank one year. There
were some who took advantage of this
sffer and made their deposits, butrwere
not credited on the books of the bank /,
and such state of affairs escaped de-
lection until recently, when Cashier Nc
Farland was confined to his bed by con-
sumption, and found he would no longer
be able to fill the position. He'resigned,
and Charles b. Finley was elected to fill
the place. In a short time the books
showedIthe deposits short about $1,000 or
5000, and McF Farland acknowledge im~
mediately that he had used the 81 900
deposits, and accordingly his securities,
two of whom, it is learned, were David
Palmer and II. II. Brady, of Chesapeake
City, will have to pay the amount. 1t is
impossible as yet to ascertain the exact
amount used by cFatland, but it win

Bismarck's Retirement.

-t LONDON, April 5, 1877.
The retirement of Prince Bismarck is
still the subject of discussion here and on
the Continent, and the newspapers are all
full of it. 1t has thrown the Eeastern
question for the moment into the shade.
and people at least feel sense of relief
to find that one remarkable event has
occurred in Europe to break the wearying
monotony of those endless and apparent
ly resultless negotiations between the
Powers on the subject of Turkey and her
discontented subjects. What the final
results of the great Chancellor's tempor--
ary retirement-for it can be only tempo
rary-may be it is impossible now to fore
see, but as no German statesman can by
any possibility be set up as a rival to him
it is admitted that,in or out of Office, ,hisin
fiuence in Germany and.in..E Europe win an
be still paramount. The leading organs
of public opinion in the various Europe
capitals have each their versi on Of the
affair, but they all agree as to the main
facts.
