Our Public School Law.
TO the Editor Of the 1Agis and LnteNigencer :.

To the Editor Of The HgiS and hteHigencer:
SIR: The time for the enunciation of candidates
having arrived, and as the people will be called
upon to elect members of the Legislature next
fall, we think it not premature or inopportune
lions and measures which 1t is expected the next
Prominent among these questions we think is the
one at the head of this article, viz Our Public
School Law. With your permission we propose to
notice some of its features to which we and we be-
lieve the people are opposed. But before we pro-
coed to notice any of its provisions separately
permit us to say that as whole the law is central
Zing and aristocratic, and in its practical opera
lions involves too much red tape, and is there
fore contrary to our republican form of govern
ment.
The LIST provision of the law which we notice
separately is the one which creates the boards of
County School Commissioners. This vests their
appointment in the Judges of our courts. To this
we are opposed. LIST, because it imposes a duty or
work upon our Judges entirely foreign to and i'm
every way disconnected with their position, and
might possibly initiate against the faithful dis
charge of their high and responsible duties. I'd.
1t is arlstocratic. 1t places power where II does
not rightly belong under our form of Government
in the hands of the few instead of the many Are
not these Commissioners intended to be the SER
wants of the people? Do they not handle the peo-
pies money? And are they not paid for their
services out of the peoples money! Assuming
these questions to be answered IN the Affirmative,
we ask why should not the law provide for their
election by the people, and make them dependent
for tho terms of their office upon the people2

WILD GEESE.
The familiar "honk, honk," of these migratory
wanderers has been constantly rung in our ears
during the past week. A great deal of conjecture
is rife with regard to the curious freak of flock
which most persons noticed on the 9th inst, flying
ing very low towards the South. Probably they
considered themselves foied by the appearance of
winter, and concluded that their journey North
ward was premature. j. II. w.

GLASS BALL SHOOTING.
Another match game of glass ball shooting came
off at Glenvlle, on the 18th instant, between the
Sea Tick club, of Darlington and the Tomato club.
of Hopewell Cross Roads. Fourteen rounds were
fired, the Tomato club being declared winners by
the following score:
TOMATO CLUB.-R. Barnes II L. Cooley, II S.
Hopkins, 10; John Hopkins, 10; p. Walstrom, 10;
John Noble, IL. Total 90.
SEA TICK CLuB.-J. X. Hopkins 0; David L.

DIR. John Sappington, Z; Il. l.. Miller 8. Total 80.
But both shoot at the balls as they flies,
The Tomatoes catch the ideas as they rise;
And very much to the Sea Ticks surprise,
Break the balls as they flies.

ARCHER-CLAYTON.

One of those pleasant affairs similar to that rati
fed by our Saviour in Cana of Galilee came Off at
the Mountain Church, on the evening of the 18th
inst, in the celebration of the nupta ties of Mr..
George Archer of Wilma Hartford county, and
Miss Mary Elizabeth Clayton, of Reckordville,
Baltimore county. The church was filled to over
flowing, (many not able to gain admission with
anxious sympathizing friends. Reserved seats for
the near relatives of both parties were decora-

pulpit and organ were likewise decorated with the
same The ushers, Messrs. w. Scott Reckord, j.
Alpha Crane, George Scarf and s. Ford, attired
in black, with white vests, white neck-ties and
white gloves, on hand to perform their assign

most exquistely the popular wedding march of
Mendelssohn during which the bridal couple en-
tered the house preceded by the ishers, Messrs.
Reckord and Crane, the chosen parties for this
duty. Arriving at the pulpit the music ceased,
when the interesting and eloquent marriage cere-
mony of 3h minutes was pronounced by Rev. DIR.
Crane. The happy couple, richly and tastefully
attired, behaved with great composure, and turn
ing were introduced to the audience, when they
again took up the line of march, preceded by the
ushers amidst the fragrance of delightful music
and many silent wish of much joy.

Youngest and beloved daughter of Philip G. and

Dearest Marian, thou hast left us,
We thy lost most deeply feel,
But tits God that has bereft U.S.
He can all our sorrows heal
Little Marian was our darling,
Pride of all our hearts at home,
But the angels ame and whispered,
Dearest Marian, do come home"
No we could not keep our darling
Any longer here to dwell,
For we knew that it was better,
To submit to His kind will.
So we gave her up to Jesus,
And He took her in His arms,
For He blesses little children,
And will keep them from all harm.

Doors AND SHoEs.-Mr. Samuel s. Ely, of
No. 1852 North Gay street, Baltimore, offers for
sale large stock of fashionable boots and shoes
suitable foranybody and everybody, and at great
lY'reduced prices Mr. Ely is very accommo-
dating to his customers, and we can vouch for
his reliability and fair-dealing. His number is
1872.
SPRING AND SUMMER DRY GooDs.-We invite
attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Bill
Kingsley e Vernctson, successors to j. Osborn
Dugan, corner of Gay and High streets, Balti-
more. They have large and well selectcd stock
of handsome and fashionable spring and summer
dry goods, which they are determined to sell at
remarkably low prices. This is one of the most
enterprising firms in the city, and by strict
mersr they have added to the excellent reputation
this old corner has had for many years, as one of
the best places in the city at which TO buy su-
perior dry goods AT the lowest prices.
EXCELsToR.-Mr. j. q. A. Holloway's conspi-
cuous advertisement of Excelsior and Ammoni-
atcd Phosphate, in this weeks AgiS, can not
fail to attract the attention of our readers Mr..
Holloway was formerly a member of the firm of
j. j. IL F. Turner and subsequently of J. j. Tur-
ner Il Co., dealers in fertilizers. Mr.. Holloway
was one of the pioneers in the manufacture OF
artificial fertilizers, and originator of the we'll
known Excelsior" the excellence of which has
been preserved unimpaired since 1858, when he
first began to manufacture it for the firm of j. j.
d F. Turner, of which he was member. Mr..
Holloway has devoted years of study and actual
experiment TO the manipulation OF commercial
fertilizers, and the universal and long continued
success of his Excelsior, proves beyond question
that he thoroughly understands the subject. In
the dissolution ofthc copartnership ofJ. j. Tur.
ncr ~ Co., Mr. Holloway secured the works OF
the old finn, Ill McEldcrry'5 Wharf, with all the
machinery specially constructed for the manu-
facture of Excelsior and Ammoniated Phosphate
He superintcnds their manufacture in person
and farmers can therefore rely upon obtaining
from him the old, true and reliable Excelsior"
and "Ammoniatcd Phosphate" which have
proven to be such valuable fertilizers in the past
Mr. Ilolloway's office is at No. 101 McEldcrry'S

None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.
Weep not for me, my parents dear,
| can no longer linger here;
Ileave this vain and sinful shore,
To live with Jesus ever more.
Deaths cruel dart has pierced our heart,
And bowed us down with grief,
For beneath the silent sod
Our darling Laura sleeps.
Shall we no more our darling see,
While we on earth remain?
We will give her up; and may 1t be
That we shall meet again.
Friendship and love had done their best,
And now can do no more,
Her genial spirit has passed away,
Her sufferngs are DER.
A light is from their household gone,
A voice they loved is stilled,
A place is vacant at their hearth,
That never can be filled.
