The HAY SCALEs.-At the last meeting of the
Gunpowder Agricultural Club, on motion of Mr..
Samuel NJ. Price, committee was appointed to
examine the statistics of the hay scales in Balt-
more, to correspond with other farmers organiza-
tions in the State and to frame bill for presen-
tation TO the Legislature looking to the cqualiza-
ton of charges for weighing farm products, and,
if practicable, their general reduction. The law
fixes the charge for weighing hay and straw at
one cent per hundred pounds, and one and a-hat
cents for all other products. 1t is claimed that
there is ten times the quantity of hay and straw
weighed now that there was when these rates
were fixed; that husks and corn, largely sold now
by weight, were scarcely ever SO sold then, the
higher rate being fixed for cattle and sheep,
which later law prohibits being weighed at all
at the bay scales; and further, that even one
cent is too great charge, in view of the immense
amount of business donc.-Towsoatown Union.

A GOOD NEWSPAPER Is THE CHEAPEST LITER
ATURE.-It is a remarkable fact that the general
appreciation in prices consequent upon the rcvi-
val of prosperity throughout the United States
finds an exception in the cost of literature of
every kinds. This is emphateally an era ofcheap
literature, and newspapers after all, are the
cheapest of literature. A journal like the Phila.
delphia WEEKLY TIMES, the fifty-two numbers
issued in year being equivalent to several oc-
tavo volumes, is easily within the reach of the
most depleted purse. THE WEEKLY TINES is a
newspaper, but something more than neyspa-
per. While all the news of the day is fully coy
cred by special correspondents stationed at al
the great centres Of population, and all other
approved agencies for the collection of news are
employed, equal pains are taken to occupy other
fields of intellectual activity. Fiction, poetry,
sketches of travel, adventure and biography, es.
says in popular science, the latest aspects of
from week to week. All topics of political, com.
mercial, religious, social and general interest
are fearlessly discussed in the editorial columns
the critical departments, musical, dramatic and
literary, are in competent hands; matters of do
nestle economy have special attention, and the
press of all countries is made to pay tribute in
its best things for the entertainment of American
readers. These assertions are broad, but they are
Justified by the nearly unanimous verdict of the

In our perambulations through this district we
notice Il larger attendance at the public schools
than usual. Youths Benefit No. g. Fourth dis
trict, has larger number of pupils than for sew
eral years The house is literally packed, and the
cants for want of room. AS the house at this
point has never cost the county anything, it
was in operation, and as it is entirely inadequate
to accommodate the neighborhood, and it being
heavy tax-naying district, we think the Commits
sioners should either build new house or enlarge
the old one.
We have been surprised that the History of
Maryland is not found in the schools of this coun-
ty. Why should pupils be required to study the
history of other States before having an acquaint-
ance with their own? In other States the history
of the home State is found in the school.

RECOVERY OF STOLEN GooDs.-Last Saturday
evening, as George Christy, who lives on the
road between Perrymonsvilea and Aberdeen, was
engaged in feeding hay TO CATTLE the fork struck
something and remained fast. Upon nvcstiga-
ton he found, concealed in the hay, an old
blanket, in which were wrapped new overcoat
two new shirts and other clothing, some odd
gloves, an old vest, dc. The new clothing, the
gloves, &c, were identified by Messrs. Michael
IL Bro, Of Perrymansyille, as their property
They are doubtless portion of the goods stolen
from their store, on the night of the 9th of
last November. This supposition is strength
encd by the discovery, in the bundle, of a
piece of wood bored out of the shutter. The
thief, colored man, was pursued by Mr., W. E.
Michael and A. B. Hanson, Jr., and overtaken
on the Hartford turnpike, near Oakland School
A chase ensued, and the thief dropped portion
of the goods stolen, but escaped with what he
had upon his back.

THE ACCIDENT TO DR. SEPTIMus JAY, at Per-
rymansville, on Tuesday evening of last week,
was serious one, and he made narrow escape
with his life. Dr. Jay had been attending a
meeting Of the Cecil county medical society, at
Elkton, and in returning to his home in Havre
de Grace, was standing on the platform of the
cars at Peryville, when the train gave sudden
jerk. Dr. Jay was thrown from the cars to the
platform by the side of the track, and fell from
it to the ground below, distance of fifteen feet
He was rendered unconscious by the fall and as
the accident was unobserved, he lay there until
his means attracted the attention of some one
He was picked up and taken to his Office, in
Havre de Grace, where he was kindly cared for
until his brother came the next morning. He
remained unconscious until Wednesday evening,
but is now considered better. If he had fallen
six feet nearer the river he would have alightcd
upon pile Of rocks, and would probably have
been instantly killed. DR.. Jay is a son of John
Jay, Esq, who resides near Aberdeen.
