Strangers are invited u yisit
our store, when in PhiiGdcl-
phia, to leave packages there,
and t. make a convenience
OF it generally. It's d handy
place, right by the rcw City
Hall, at the very center Of the
city. itanswers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
dS we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two Or
three years ago; made so by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by cx-
tension On Chestnut street.
Parts of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one Of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing gotrcady for the rest and
rcfreshment Of strangers.
One Of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very well thatmost
of you come to us for a good
share of your supplies; why
should We spoil your visit by
lntrudlng goods upon your
attention, when you come to
see the place?
But perhaps you arc not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool
er time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and set them, proba-
bly,, just as well as if you
were On the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts Of
things than We can put into
an advertisement. So, what
ever you want, suppose you
drop us line. Well help
you if we can.

Gong West.

Mr. Elsie Wright, who for several years
past has tenanted the White Hall farm,
near this town, is making arrangements for
a start for the West early in the coming
spring. He proposes to visit various sec
tions of the western country, particularly
those portions devoted to the culture of
wheat and other grains, and by spending a
month or two at each stopping place, gain
such IL knowledge Of the various sections as
to enable him to make Il iudicious selection
of place of settlement for himself. After
he has fixed upon locality, Mr.. Wright will
purchase a farm and return for his family,
who will in the meantime remain with his
father-in-law, Mr.. Rhoades, of the Second
district. Mr.. Wright is one of our energetic
and successful young farmers, Que of 4
class with whom our county can i'll afford
to part. and while wishing him great sue
cess in his undertaking we could not but
feel gratified, if after thorough looking
over of western lands he should finally de.
termiue to remain In Cecil.

had Il fine Alderney COW which tirkled the
fancy of Thos. Warirg Of the same county
Nr. Magraw wanted S125 for his co:v, but
Mr.. Waring declined giving that price and
made this proposition: He would give the

Hartford County Fertilizer Law.

The Baltimore fertilizer dealers complain
of local law in Hartford county, passed hy
the last Legislature, which, it is said, takes
$4,000 a year from the dealers. For every
brand sold in tie county Il SO license is re-
quired to be paid 10 the clerk of the county
commissioners, and each dealer must also
give 81 900 bond in the county. The law is
said to have incongruities which will prob
ably give rise for Il test case. 1t was re-
marked ut the Fertilizer Exchange on We'd
neslay that while it is not denied that in
these days farmers think fertilizers ne
cessity, yet the dealers are treated as if they
We're evil-doars by legislative bodies. The
dealer said that Georgia collects Sli0, 900 to

RELIGION 5.

Rev. DR.. Matlack preached. on Sunday
morning, 10 Il very slim audience, from
Luke 1873. In the discourse the rever-
end gentleman Gcplored the spread Of
iniideiity over the land. which he attri-
buted to the lack Of real christianity
among professors of religion. lie also
said this lack of faith was manifested i'll
these days in the very small attendance
upon divine worship. This was quite an
able sermon and fully maintained the
Doctors reputation as an expnunder of
the Scriptures: but it was pretty hard
for an ordinary nearer to harmonic his
statements that iniidelity was rapidly
spreading because of TIE lack Of real
faith and yet that the church was taking
a higher and holier plane. was becoming
better and purer. 1t was pretty plain
upoH this occasion that little lain on
Sundays sadly dampens the religious
ardur of many church ooers. 1t is a sad
commentary upon religion when sprin-
kle of rain will keep folks from the sane
tuary. while the same persons tan wade
through mud aud storm TO attend the
church social.

The complaint alleges that the defend

that the defendant received on his train a

Opinions Affecting School Officials.

At the request of Supt. Kiehle, Attor-
ney General Hahn, has given opinions on
the following points:
''Text books: certificates as to use of in
district" Under sec. 116, CHI. sc, G.. S.
1878, p. 500, the certificate of the charac-
ter prescribed therein must be produced
by the district treasurer to the county
treasurer, at the time each and every pay
ment of school funds is made, during the
period fixed by the contract for furnishing
text books. Such certificate of the use of
the state books to the exclusion of other
series in the schools of the district should
bear date reasonably short time anterior
to the presentation; and hence, certificate
made in 1880 and 1881 are not evidence of
such use in 1882, or subsequent years.
Teachers certificates: limitation of
time" The period named in sec. &C, Oh.
sc, G. S. 1878, for duration of a
teachers certificate, is limita-
ton in time beyond which no GER
tifcate can legally be made to extend.
But certificates to teach for less period
than that named may be issued by county
superintendent.
'Treasurer's bond; amount required
Under section thirty-four, i'd, the total
amount of money which the treasurer of
the district is to receive during his entire
term of office, as near as can be ascertain
ed, is to be estimated, and he is to give
bond for double this amount.
