One SPECIES OF RUDRNEss.-
Too many people who pride them
selves on their good breeding,
think nothing OF interrupting con
ve"sation. One begins to relate an
incident, and before he has finished
two sentences, some parrot in fne
clothes chimes in with her senseless
gsbble, breaking the thread of dis
course and compelling the narrator
to begin again or abandon the At
tempt TO instruct or entertain. This
is the grossest impoliteness but it
is as commO on an occurrence az con
versatlon Itself. It is hardly too
much TO say that nine out o. every
ten people who indulge IN this
habit are incapable of carrying IN
q rational conversation on any use.
ful topic, and they indulge in these
breaches of etiquette by way OF
covering their retreat and hiding
their ignorance. Never interrupt q
conversation by interfering re-
marks, however appropriate and
witty they may seem. Then all
sensible people will respect yon,
and conclude that you have good
sense, and know how 20 use it TO

Should be Considered.

The work of cleaning out the canal
adjacent to this village, which we spoke
of last week as in contemplation by the
County Commissioners, has been du'y COM
menced by corps of road hands under
the supervision Of Mr. Wright. This, as
we said, is most necessary and desirable
work. and the action of the Commissioners
will be highly commended. We Leard a
suggestion made by gentleman on Tues
day, however as to whether i, would not
be advisable to postpone he work until
the fall, which we think ought TO be duly
considered by those in authority. His
idea was that the new earth and mud
thrown from the canal, wi | be SO charged
with noxious gases. as, at this season, to
greatly endanger the health of the village.
In the fall, when malarial influences shall
have passed away, it is thought that the
dangers from this source will be much re-
duced We lean, upon inquiry. that
most of The earth thus far thrown from the
canal consists of sand and gravel, which
being coarser and more porous, is not open
to the objection mentioned. 1t is impor-
tant, however, for the commissioners to
ascertain whether the nature of the exca-
yations hereafter to be made will con niue
thus unobjectionable, and, if necessary.
order the work temporarily discontinued.

RefOrmatOry Wanted.

Judge Pinkney in the Criminal
Court of Baltimore city, last Saturday, on
proceeding to sentence young colored
woman named Sophia Sellers alias Rig
gins, who had plead guilty to two charges
of larceny, discovered that she was the
same person whom he had bound out to a
gentleman in Southern Maryland two
years ago. from whom she ran away with
u lot of clothing and So do lars in money
Judge Pinkney said he would like to
give her another chance, but while there
was number of institutions, both Catho
lie and Protestant, to which to send white
girls coveted of otfenses, there were none
tor colored girls. There was an excellent
one tor coIored boys in the House Of Re
formation, under the charge of Gen. Horn
but there should be similar place for
colored girls. Judge Pinkney then SEN

Seeking Pastures New.

Adrian Posey, Esq. and w Herbert
Berry, two young men of our county have
gone on prospecting tour to the Western
part of the State with a view of making
permanent residence in that sect,on.-
Their first place of visit will be Cumber-
land, where, we unders' and. it is Mr. Po-
seys intention tor the present to settle tor

desires to engage in mercantile pursuits
and if the prospects at ehis place are en-
couraging he too will settle there, but II
they a,e not, he wi l look further and en-
deavor to find more suitable locality
Though we wish our young friends all the
success possible, still we can but regret
that they have decided to leave Our COM
munity. We. some time ago, freely ex-
pressed our opinion on the subject of our
Young men leaving home to seek their for
tunes elsewhere, and repeat now what we
then said. that we reed all the youth and
energy our county can furnish to enable
us to build up her resources and place her
in the front rank in this progressive age.
We can only trust that when these young
gentlemen find that Charles, by proper and
energetic action can be made the equal If
not superior of Allegany, that they will
come back and exert themselves at home
and build up their county.

we have rarely seen him looking better.

there is no gentlemen within the circuit

How to Eat Lemons.

Most people know the benefit OF
lemonade before breakfas, but few know
how it is more than doubled by taking
anothing at night, also The way to get
the better of bilious system without
blue pills or quinine, is to take the juice
of one, two, or three lemons, as the ap-
petite Graves in as much ice water as to
make it pleasant to drink, without sugar,
before going to bed. In the morning on
raising, or at least half an hour before
breakfast, take the lice Of one lemon in
goblet of water. This will clear the
system of humors and bile, with mild
efficacy without any of the weakening
effects Of Congress water. People should
not irritate the stomach by eating the
lemons clear; the powerful acid of the
Juice, which is almost corrosive, infallibly
produces inflammation after while but
properly diluted, so that it does not burn
or draw the throat, it does its full medici-
nal work without harm, and when he
stomach is clear of food has abundant OPP
port unity to work the system thoroughly
