DIED. Near Crisheld, of Pneumo-
MIA, April 24th, Mrs. Mary I. Sterling,
in the 18th year of her age. She leaves
eight children, forty grandchildren,
seven great grad children and host
of friends to mourn her loss. She died
as she lived, constant, loving chris
tian. No one knew her but to love
her, for she was kind. loving and cheer
full at all times. One thing very re-
markable is that she is the mother OF
eight children, all of whom survive her.
During the many years that she lived,
she was never known to be cross and
troublesome to her seighbors. She
was neighbor in the fullest sense Of
the word Crisfield Leader.

Be NelghbOrly.

A few neighborly, kind hearte d citi-
zens will transform a gloomy village
into an earthly paradise. Selhshness
is apt to color even our thoughts, and
he who begrudges kind words and
pleasant smiles is a miser. The happi-
ness and comfort Of each individual
member of society is so thoroughly de-
pendent on the bearing and disposition
of his neighbors that it becomes at once
the duty, as it is the pleasure, of each
person, to strive to contribute his quo
ia of generous feelings and considerAte
actions to the common fund Of human
happiness.
To be pleasantly, neighborly, good
natured is not necessarily connected
with an outlay of money; sympathet-
ic look and an encouraging word, will
often accomplish far higher mission
than a dollar bill could hope to reach.
A hearty shaking of the hand and frank
"good morning, sir" kindly feeling
that the clink Of silver dollars would
quickly dissipate. One who is suffer
ing from, or writhing under misfortune,
receives vastly more comfort from a
neighbours kindly Offices and generous
sympathies than any peculiar gift could
bistow. Society is held together BY
the mutual forbearance of its members.
Did each ony assert his rights by phys
ical force, instead of mutual forbear-
ance and consideration for the rights of
oteers, cities, towns and neighbour Gods
would be impossibiities, since peace
could only be procured by widely sep
arating the contending factions.
Aside from the satisfying and eleva-
ting influence of neighborly acts of
kindness and social enjoyment; aside
from the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of
an unselfsh, self.sacrifcing community,
such qualities have mercenary value.
Value of real estate, desirability of GER
tain localities for residence, depend
largely upon the reputation of the COM
munity for generous and commendable
neighborly qualities, and even public
spirit, as asserted in good schools and
hurches, has its origin in an enlarged
neighborly feeling, desire to see all
about US tina happy comforts and ines
Unable blessings OF happy, pleasant

Congressional Appropriations to
the Public Schools.

There is a proposition before Con-
gress to give National aid to the con-
mon schools OF this country and 10 ap-
portion the fund for a period of ten
years to the degree of illiteracy pre-
vailing in the several States.
Such Ia basis of distribution would
greatly benefit the old slaveholding
states where ignorance abounds among
the negroes and poor whites to fear
full extent. Congress could not do a
better thing with the public treasure
than make such a disposition of it.
The dangers to the country from ig-
norance and its attendant vice are far
more serious than are those from the
overflow of the Mississippi river to pre-
vent the recurrence of which Congress
has just made very large appropriG-
ton,
The erection Of custom. houses, and
light houses, and the construction OF
railroads and canals, however impcr-
tant, is not to be compared in point
Of obligation with the pressing de-
mands Of popular education. The peo-
pie of the southern states really have
more than they can do to educate both
white and colored children IS these
should be educated /; nor is it just to
lease them to shoulder the burden
alone for although it is true that the
direct products of slave labor went TO
the slave owner; yet indirectly the
slaves added thousands Of millions OF
dollars to the wealth of the country at
large, and received in return nothing
but their victuals and clothes. 1t is
indeed right to pay the public debt Of
the country and to discharge all of its
obligation. but what debt is more sa-
cred, vhat obligation mores biading
than this one ?
In our judgment none should take
precedence of it, and We trust that pc
titions will pour in upon Congress urg-
ing action without delay. Delaware

Flames In Delaware.

A fire broke out in A. G.. Cox's car
riage shop, in Middletown, DEL, at
nine o'clock Tuesday morning, and in
five minutes the large frame building,
one hundred feet square and three
stories in height, was in flames. The
wind was blowing very strongly and
the flames spread rapidly to five other
buildings, including the Queen Anne
Episcopal Church, in the square bound
ed by Main, Broad ard Green streets.
They we're all destroyed, involving a
Joss of about 100000. There were no
means of checking the fire except with
buckets and useless Babcock extin-
guisher. Aid was therefore asked from
Wilmington, and several steamers from
that city arrived abost eleven O'Clock.
They soon got the ere under control.

to the original congregation by Queen
Anne, was saved out of the burning
church. The following ara the losses
