The agreement between the United States
and Great Britain, recently proclaimed by the
President, giving to the citizens of each coun.
try the right TO register trademarks under the
patent laws of the other, establishes the same
reciprocity OF trademarks between the ma
tons mentioned as exists between this coun-
try and Austria, Belgium, France, Germany
and Russia.
Trademarks, or distinctive words or other
devices indicating the origin of an article of
trade, and giving it the additional value that
arises from the reputation of it's manufacture
eTs, are as old as the bricks that were used to
build Ninevah, on which the mark of the
maker is still visible. By this treaty American
and British manufacturers and merchants will
be protected in both countries. The tempta-
ton to obtain registration of trademarks by
some form of deception will be removed, and,
In addition to increased public convenience,
large additional revenues to the patent offices
OF both countries are assured.

The new Board of Public School Trustees
appointed by the District Commissioners yes
terday afternoon, and frs announced In The
STAR of last evening Is composed mostly of
wellknown citizens of the District, thoroughly
qualified by intelligence and experience for
the duties they have TO perform. No set of
appointments recently announced has been
more generally satisfactory to the community.
There are few 'cre-headS, of course, but they
are in such a large minority that, as Toots
says, ''its of no consequence" Elsewhere we
print sketches of the members. The District
Commissioners gave much time and thought
to the matter, and that they have acted wisely
we have no doubt will be developed in time.

The Hop at the Osborn House
last Thursday night under the man
agement of the Jolly Bachelors
Club was the occasion of boundless
hilarity and merriment. As regards
weather, the evening was indeed
pleasant, and everything seemed
propitious for a delightful time.
On no former occasion did the
young ladies appear more beautiful,
nor their elegant and brilliant at
tires elicit more admiration; and
the young men were everything that
gallantry cOmprebends. About II
o'clock all repaired to hall where
ice cream and its usual accompani-
ments were in readiness for them,
which were pleasing to the eye, and
to the taste simply delightful. This
noticeable feature of the occasion
was under the supervision of th9t
genial gentleman, Mr.. Gross, who
has no superior in his art. After
being refreshed, the dance was re-
stunned and continued to the Joy of
all until the wee sma' hours. There
was a large number in attendance
and several from a distance, includ-
ing the Misses Dickerson ofBufords
Station, Miss Mollie Pruett of Cul-
leoka, Misses Booker and Media
Mason of Prospect, Miss Matte
Nelson of Merryville, Miss Lavinia
Baugh of Elkton and Miss Lucy
Rose of Vale Mills. OF course, at
no moment was the gentlemanly
Mr.. jackson, unmindful
Of his guests, but seized every OPP
portunIty to make them feel at ease
and to render them happy.

A few of our farmers are consid-
erably behind with their work, ow-
ing to so much rain and a heavy
wheat. crop. Everything is looking
well, and the prospects for an aver
age yield are very promising. Not
much change in the minds of the
farmers in regard to the present
prospects for a tolerable fair yield
OF whest; though 1 am inclined to
the opinion that it will exceed their
expectations.
Our city magistrate tried some
very knotty cases under the small
offence law not long ago. Some ne
groes at Buckeye got into a diff
Guilty and pelted one another con-
siderably with rocks and other
things, causing the dusky commu-
nifty to get into terrible state of
excitement, and ended in the arrest
OF the belligerents, who danced to a
tune of ten dollars and costs each.
Buckeye is knot of negro cabins
in the eastern suburbs of this neigh
borhood, and this is not the first
time that they have had to pay for
violation of law.
Candidates are stirring things
pretty lively here now. They sa-
lutte fellow now without an intro
duction and shake bis paw as If
they had known him all his life.
Very few candidates can cut wheat,
but they can cut a biscuit half in
two. Our bachelor merchant is dis
consulate. The rats bore down
upon his wardrobe and rendered
him sockless. Some lady can rem
der service by presenting him with
a new pair.
Mr.. G. w. Clark of Pulaski was
on visit to his brother John in
this place last week. Mr.. Flournoy
Rivers of Buford's Station visited
our burg a few days since with his
countenance beaming with smiles,
especially after having set proper
John" about an hour.
Robert Chapman was thrown
from mule and severely bruised
some time ago, but is able to be at
work again. Mr.. G. G. Vaughn
made trip to the southern part of
the county
Here our correspondent must
have left out a page of his manu-
script, as the connection is broken.
We are therefore forced to leave out
a portion of his valuable letter.

Midtown.

We think there is danger of your
Friendship correspondents being
captured while trying to occupy so
large a field. However, we will
cheerfully surrender that part of
the field east of Midtown, and even
the "town" itself, if your worthy
correspondents on the north and
south will represent us in their let
tiers. Write oftener, and come over
and eat chicken and other good
things with US, If they will not &C
cept the terms of peace we wish
they may be captured by some wor
thy and gallant knights.
The long spell of wet weather has
not only rusted much of the vege
table kingdom, but has given Il
troublesome distemper to the PEG
pie. Corn, cotton, weeds, all are
growing very fast.
Some mprovements are being
made III our midst Mr.. Pack, the
proprietor of the blacksmith shop,
is having a commodious dwelling
erected on the lot where he had a
house burnt short time ago. After
three years talking about it, we
have recently built chimney. We
hope to have another in three more
years. Though "times are hard"
necessity forces people to build.
Our friends NJ. and n. Eslick
have each a new dwelling in con
temptation. AT present Mr.. N. Es-
lick has a very painful carbuncle
on one knee. If our people con
tinue TO be industrious and enter
prising year or two more we will
have pretty little valley here.
The funeral of Mrs. Caddie Mas
