 Preaching last.Sabbath by Bro. Ma theny.
 Mr. B. F. Bayliss has. been quite sick, not being able to be out since court.
 It was an all day business with the collector last week, and no letting up it the case.
 Marriage licenses were issued last week to J. NJ. Jones and Miss Maggie Smith; J. T. Fowler and Miss Sallie Garden, and T. J. Stout and Miss Eliza Dixon.
 Judging from the present appearance of the tax books two hundred people will want to pay taxes next Saturday. The collector can only make out ninety nine receipts in one day, consequently one hundred and one will be in danger of the amendments to the bill.
 Curiosity leads me to ask why 1t is that one, two, three, or four lawyers are fined at each term for contempt of court, and that the fine is always re- mitted, and the county pays the costs? guess it is right, but it looks . little previous.
 The matrimonial market is distress ingly dull around Dover and no talk of a spring stock. l will venture to say that the Judge will make a present of d pair of license to the first couple mar rying in Dover, merely to give the mat ter start, and to let the young folks see how the thing is done. There are a host of youngsters around, and doubt less some want to marry, but some how or other the boys cannot get their tongues off right. Wait boys, until peach time and cast peach, and if it is cast back Well, you will have to try and see, only make the suggestion.
 Another one of those strange occur rences has turned up, that is jail de- livery at this place last Friday morn- ing. It is not necessary to go into the details of the case; suffice it to say, White, the prisoner indicted at the March Court, is gone where the wood- bine twineth. Like other mysteries some things are known and some are not. We know that the prisoner was in jail, ironed and secured fast to the floor; and we also know that two guards were on duty at the time the prisoner made his exit from the jail, but just how the thing was done, does not appear as clear as "mud," but still one often hears of such cases. We read in some book or other of a man being cast into prison, and at certain time he prayed, and his irons fell off, the prison doors swung open, and the prisoner walked out and went his way rejoicing. This may not be similar case, but it does seem to lean that way. Reese was badly worried over the af- fair, but it was not through any negli- gence of his. One man cannot be Sher- if, tax collector, and jail guard at the same time

 And shew the wealth that in it lies. Those depths fond memories contain Ofthose I've loved on earth the most; All concerning them that gave me pain, In kind forgetfulness is lost. And every cherished loving word,

 It seems so far, may be so near, That those loved ones our grief may see, Even these plaintiye strains may hear. Could their presence always know, would repress these rising sighs; Forbid the tears that downward flow, From these poor painful eyes. Oh, no! can not this believe,

MoRELAND TOWNSHIP, Apr. z, 1879.
 EDITOR DEMOCRAT: In the DEMOCRAT of March p, one c. N. Bowden give notice to the public that 1 scheduled against a just account of $20.30 for pork he furnished me, Now Mr. Bowden has had positive falsehood published and knowing it to be one when he had it done. He never sold me a pound of pork in his life. MT. Editor, by your permission 1 will make a statement of this perky question. MT. B. sold $40 worth of pork to MT. w. G. Wood in the fall of 1877, and I became paymas- ter to Mir. B. last August by trade that l made with Mir. Wood. let Mir. B. have one bale of cotton on said ae- count. After adding interest 1 still was d1e Mir. B. $l0,20. Not having money to pay any more l offered to let him have COW and calf or anything else that 1 could possibly spare. He said that nothing but the money would do. and that he must have. So he sued me before W. W. Brashear, Esq, got judgment, and had the only horse that 1 have attached, and compelled me to schedule to save my horse, as 1 was not able to buy another one. And still he is not satisfied. He would have your many readers believe that my family were eating his meat, and 1 scheduled to keep from paying him for it. Now, Mir. Editor, I'would have treated Mir. B.'s article with silent contempt if the DEMOCRAT only circulated in Moreland township; but as it has wide circula- tion, it is necessary that l should ex- pose the gentleman's article; and l hope in the future when he has occa- sion to use my name he will contine himself to the truth.

MoRELAND, April ', 1879.


 The subject selected last Sunday by Mir. Matheny was most suitable for the present time, "Early Picty" and 'How to train Children" was happily treated by this earnest preacher and zealous Christian man. He counseled the chil- dren to obey their parents, as the be- ginning of piety. Glove thy Creator in the days of thy youth," and love your parents also, with filial love-not with servile love which is beastly.
 Since I have introduced this subject l would like to produce an extract, which was written hundred and twenty-five years ago by John Wesley's mother.
 ''In order to form the minds of chill dren, the first thing to be done is to conquer their will, and bring them to an obedient temper. To inform the understanding is a work of time, and must, with children, proceed by slow degrees, as they are able to bear it; but the subjeeting the will is thing which must be done at once, and the sooner the better for by neglecuing timely correction, or control, they will contract stubbornness and obstinacy which are hardly ever after conquered, and never without using such sever ity as would be as painful to me as to the child. In the eyes of the world they pass for kind and indulgent, whom I call cruel parents, who permit their children to get habits which they know must be afterward broken. Nay, some are so stupidly fond, as in sport to teach their children to do things which, in awhile after they have severely beaten them for doing.
 When child is corrected it must be conquered; and this will be no hard matter to do if it be not grown head strong by too much indulgence. And when the will of child is totally sub dued, and it is brought to revere and stand in awe of the parents, then a great many childish follies and inad- vertencies may be passed by. Some should be overlooked and taken no mo- tice or, and others mildly reproved; |; but no willful transgression ought ever to be forgiven children, without such chastisement as the nature and eircum- stances of the case may require. in- sist upon conquering the will of chill dren betimes, because this is the only strong and radical foundation ofa re-

Apart from the debauching and bru- talizing influence of slavery still op- erative, the chief difference between Southerners and Northerncrs is that the former drink to excess and carry weapons, and the latter as a rule, do neither. The Southeraers are, as a class besottedly blind to their worst faults. They wonder that they are regarded abroad not less than in the North as scmi-civilized; and yet they are continually guilty of conduct which disgraces both civilization and humanity.--New York Times.

NEW uopr VALLEY. April 4th.

MR. EDITOR: It does seem to me that there are too many men buying corn and meat this year. 1 do think that people ought to look to their own interests better than to arrange their crops so as they have to buy what they can raise at home. That will break any man that tries to farm and depends on some merchant to furnish him what he eats and wears. Farmers be careful that you don't let the price of cotton run you crazy: as it is advancing a little plant plenty of corn to do you and little to sell, and the balance in cotton, and be sure that you do not plant more than you can gather with your own force, for that is what gets away with all the profits; when man rents land and hires his cotton picked he is sure to come out worse than he was when he first begun his crop. If we want our country to prosper we must depend on our own labor and a little brain work with it; then we would be more able to take our county paper; some men will complain about the DEMOCRAT being no accounts; If everybody would take 1t and encourage it, and some farmer from every town ship or locality would write something to the DEMOCRAT, then 1 think our county paper would be much better. One or two men cannot make paper interesting. l thlnk that every man that takes an interest in keeping him. self posted in county matters should take the DEMOCRAT.
 Now, Mir. Editor, everything is going on right side up with care in the Valley. I hear some of our farmers say they are going to plant cotton this week, but owing to the cool weather it is full early. Respectfully,
 SUBSCRIBER.

The above Is fair specimen of the articles which appear in Radical pa- pers oi the North, yet they are sur prlsed that the South is Democratic. They are hardly pursuing the pro- per course however, to humanize and civilize us poor devils down here. Thank God, the party that nurtures such men as wrote the above arti- cle has lost it's prestige and like the old lady whose baby was so small she couldn't find any place to spank it when it cried, we don't feel disposed Co strike at what IS left of the rotton concern.

Senator Bruce, by the courtesy of the democratic Senators, was made chairman of special committee to investigate the Freedman's Savings bank frauds, and also permitted to name all the other members of the committee. With a keen sense of business sagacity, he named three democrats and one republican besides himself, and the committee was so made up. Garland, Gordon and La mar were the three bulldozers he he seleced to help him make the investigation.
