Katie Hines.

| At meeting of the Board of Public
Works, in Annapolis on Thursday of last week
the commanders OF the oyster police sloop:
were appointed. Mr.. Lemuel Smoot receive:
command of the Katie Hines, for this district,
vice VIM S. Chies. This is a wise and most
suitable selection and undoubtedly the best
that could have been made from this section
Mr. Smoot has been hard faithful and ener-
getic worker in the ranks of the Democratic
party, and his influence in his district was
most potent He has been laboring for the
common good Of the party and was rot one
who was always haggling for the flesh pots
and who became disgrun,led at not receiving
them, but at each succeeding canvass he was
found ready and willing TO do his duty faith
fully and we'll These same qualities We are
sure, will be exercised by him in his new field
and the interests Of the State will be faithfully
and conscientiously protected by him. He has
held the Office Of regiStrator for sth district
for many years and in that position was one
of the most efficient officers that we had in our
county. His appointment gives general satis-
faction TO all parties and will be heartily en-
dorsed throughout this district over which he
has jurisdiction.

A Denial.

Beale for Congress in this district In the
course of pleasant interview the General in
formed us that he was in no sense a candidate
that neither time, taste, inclination would
prompt him TO enter the field: that the bring
ing forward of his name i. due TO the pariialiiy
of n few friends who ihonght be could carry
the district that nothing but his desire to aid
fhe could, Republican success could force him
into position he was averse to. In short. il
seems a move to press a most estimsble gentle
man where he has no desire to appear

New COlOred Chapel.

1t has been currently reported about here
for some time, that Judge Magruder had pur-
chased the old Ferguson store house in this
village from the heirs, during the late term CT
court, and our neie hbor, the Independent, sug-
gested that he had purchased it to use as n
canning factory he intended to establish at La
Plata This fact We denied a few weeks ago
on good authority 1t has just come to light
how the Judges name came to be mentioned
in connection with this affair.
The Rev. G. F. Williams, the efficient pastor
of Christ Church in this village, has had in
contemplation for some time past the establish
ment in his circuit of n colored chapel for the
separate worship of the colored members of
his largely increasing congregation, and in
furtherauce of this end he expected aid from
the Home Missionary Society of the P. E.
Church, and from whom he also expected color
g minister of education and ability to take
charge of the flock. But owing to circum-
stances, that could not be controlled, this pro-
ect was deferred from time to time. While
judy. Magruder was in our village he and the
Rev gentleman had many conversations On
this subject and the J.dge's sentiments were
heartily in accord with the minister's project.
Mr. Williams mentioned the fact that he
thought the building in question would, with
little alteration, be most suitable for such a
chapel as he desired, and the well-known char
ity and good ceiling of the Judge at once
prompted him to give pecuniary aid to this
most laudable purpose. He Immediately gave
his check for Sl75 aud promised his hearty
cooperation and for further pecuniary assistance
to the measure if needful. With this most
generous advancement Mr. Williams at once ne
gotiated for the purchase of the building and
Judge Magruder assisted him in preparing and
arranging the papers. The purchase was ef-
fected and the property turned over to Mr..
Williams. Further aid to this measure has
also been promised and feel sure that through
the energetic and laudable zeal of Mr.. Will
liams in this matter the chapel viii be estab-
lished at no distant day and proper pastor
sent here 10 care for the salvation Of the wor-
shippers therein.

Port Tobacco Novelties.

Port Tobacco, it seems, has shooting gal
lery. There is also the rumor of u concert in
the burg at no distant day, likewise the pros
pect Of an appl oaching marriage, and lately
the natives bad a fSh-fry on an historic
stream,' which turns out, however, TO be
creek We have no wish 10 disturb the jubila-
ton of the Times over these affairs, and should
have kept silent but for its envious reference
to Leonardtown, but upon the subject of the
shooting gallery we are now forced 10 explain,
that there is an institution OF this kind In full
blast in our village, accompanied, mark you,
with s'Supple Jack arrangement, the fun
OF hi, consists in paving FIVE cents pieces for
ahe privilege Of throwing balls at movable
puppets Now, brother Cox, has Port Tobacco
ever had Supple Jack" arrangement, or can
YOU as an honest witness Say that it has now
a shooting gallery either, and if not, that
chillS and mosquitoes had nothing to do with
It's emie eraton? However these questions may
he answered, the superior attracsions OF
Leonardtown must and shall be vindicated.
The above we clip from our usually aia. liable
neighoor, the Leacon of last week and we
think he strains point in his criticism. We
a swer that We do not grow in the least
iubilant over the above facts but merely men
ton them as matters of news 10 our people, not
in the least expecting that they would interest
our contemporary or his readers. The fish,
fry was "A matter Of fact, and we cannot see
WHY the fact of its being on creek prevents
it from being On stream also, our Impression
is that all running waters are .treams, and Il
historic one at that as every thing in Port To-
bacco is historic. We do not know that
brother Cox can as an honest witness say
whether the shooting gallery is a fact or not
but the junior editor, who gave the item can
vouch for it being an honest reality. We have
no "Supple Jacks'' or puppets here to throw
balls at but have nine very substantial beings
that you NAV throw balls at all day, and not
knock them over either, but who can knock
the 'tstufin'' out of any nine puppets in Leon
ardtown on a ball field We do assure our
neighbor that chills nor mosquitoes had moth
ing to d. with the emigration of our shooting
gallery from the fact that it has not emigrated
but is still an established fact here, regardless
of the aforementioned nusances. Apropos oi
this matter we would suggest to our brother
that if he will only keep his eye on the pre-
cincts of his own sweet burgh or county he
will have enough in this line to attract his at
tention without wasting the powers Of his stu
ponduous intellect by reminding US of our
faiings. Leonardtown should be vndicated
but in doing it remember the old saw brother,
.'that people who live in glass houses should
not throw stones"

posed for the n-performance of their duties
under the new law are very heavy,

The American people must ina out

An Improvement in lifting jacks
has been patented by Mr.. Jonathan

The standard of the lifting jack IS
made in two parts, one part being
formed with channel extending from
its upper to lear its lower end, and the
other part serving IS fac plate to
cover the channel in the first part.
In tie channel is placed rack bar
which moves vertically, and which re-
eeives motion from pinion jOurnaled
in plates secured to the face plate OF
the standard, aud back of The plates is
a slot in the face plate, through which
the cogs Of the pinion ard of the rack
bar engage. The Shaft upon which
the piniou Is journaled is extended at
one OF its ends beyond the journal
plate. and has a square enlargement,
and power lever is piyoted to this
enlargement by pin which passes
through the lever and rests ina groove
formed across one side Of the enlarge
ment. By this means the lever has
lateral motion to and from the pinion.
The side OF the pinion next to the
lever is formed with projections with
which the lever engages for turning
the pinion to elevate the rack bar.
The opposite side Of the pinion is
formed with ratchet, with which
