The TOBACCO Tax Rebate.

Our tobacco dealers are making out
their claims for the rebate on this class
Of goods, allowed by the lazy reducing
the special tag, which took effect on the
first instant. The rebate on chewing to-
bacco is eight cents per pound, on segars
So per thousand. on cigaretts $125 per
thousand, and on smoking tobacco eight
cents per pound Nh Joseph HinchliHe.,
dealer in this class of goods receives the
largest amount of anyof our merchants
The great trouble abou. this maker With
country dealers. is the fact t1afsno' re-
bate is allowed on broken packages. an
eighth Of pound of smoking tobacco
put up il cotton bag, is a package in
the eyes of the law, and if not opened
rebate is allowed on it, but if opened no
weighing one hundred and fifty pounds
if whole, rebate is allowed, but if tie
lid is Knocked of though all the tobacco
may be there, no rebate is allowed. III
this the injustice OF the law to retail
dealers may be seen. They by smoking
tobacco il bags Of ! Of a pound il large
boxes Of 80 TO 100 pounds. This box
may be broken, yet because the stamp is
affixed to each package they get the re-
bate. The chewing tobacco is purchased
in boxes Of about the same weight, but
the stamp is affixed to tie box and If it
is opened, farewell to al chance Of re-
bate. Because Of this Feature Of the law
the amount Of rebate received BY retail
dealers will be small, for the reason that
they generally buy but one box Of kind
at time, and open it as soon as received.
Mr.. IIipchliie has probably Hye hundred
pounds Of chewing Rlpsl tobacco in fhis
FIX, and on which he will receiye no al
foHance.

John BarIeycorn on a Rampage.

On last Saturday ight the attention of
nun b Y of citizens was attracted to 4 man,
'a>i,lerahly under the dominion of John
BlrleyCurn, who was driving very weak
and exhausted horse up and down the
streets. bne OF more persons endeavored to
find an officer, To have him taken charge. of,
and the poor sick animal released from the
shafts, bat failed To come across one On
Main street, in Ike Hollow, the horse fell,
completely given ont, having undoubtedly
been driven a long distance during the day
and evening. y number of humane persons
gathered around and relieved the horse of
his harness, and took him where he could
ct rest and food. The her animal, the
driver, protested against this proceeding,
bu: no attention WAS paid to him, except
that Bestowed by fish dealer, Stationed on
the corner at the Howard House: He, after
III" harness WAS taken from the horse,
dressed his driver ont i'll them, fitting the
various parts 10 his person the best he
{, uld. The sorriest-louiing figure of Il two
legged horse, ever shown in Elkton, was
then gazed upon by the large crowd which
had gathered. He tried to kick out of the
traces, hut it was no 60 and the last seen OF
him, H.. was endeavorng to make himself
comfortable in a fence corner.

Aims House Officers

The Trustees of the Cecil County Aims
House, will meet on Monday next, for the
purpose of selecting an oyerSeer of the poor
and physician to the house for the ensuing
year. We last week stated that the names
of two gentlemen had been mentioned tor
the position of physician. Since that time
We have been authortatively informed that
On. of them, DIR. }. II. lamar, the present
physician, will not be a candidate for re-
election. We regret that DIR. lamar has
come to tins determination. He has, with
out doubt, taken more interest in the welfare
of the inmates of the institution than any
former physician, and the good effects OF
that interest are quite apparent there. We
trust that he may yet reconsider this de-
termination.

About Fish.

Captain Hamlen, of the United States
fishery commission steamer Lookout, now
at Baltimore for repairs, after a cruise in
Southern waters, in the interest of the arti-
fetal propagation Of fish. Speaking Of the
outlook for fish in the future says that the
scarcity Of food fish in Southern waters is
yearly becoming more evident. Meanwhile
The increase Of fish in the Chesapeake and
Potomac, which have been stocked each
year for some time past with young fsh, has
been very great. The hauls in pound nets
have been enormous. In Moljack bay dur
inv one night recently 1000 shad were
caught and On the Great Wicomico so were
taken in the same time. The OILERS on the
Potomac are picking UP from 400 10 i 80 per
night, and At HayFe de Grace fish have been
leptiiUl. 4|he season on the Potomac and

Highfalutin.

This is the way the editor of tie Break
trdter Light, published at Lewes, Delaware
tells its readers not to throw off their heavy
clothing yet awhile "This is the kind of
weather in which the impulsive and impru-
dent person divests himself of his overcoat
or of his heavy tannels, because he feels so
uncomfortably warm, and is determined to
accommodate himself to the meteorological
variability of this extremely versatile sea-
son. The judicious and experienced man
knows better than that. He knows that it
is impossible to count upon the vagaries of
American weather at this time of the year,
and in order to guard against the danger of
being caught by a frost with his .tlannels off
ans hi his oSercoat at home, he submits with
IPhii losophic eqnanimity 10 the lesser incon-
yenisnce Of being smpertiuonsly calolifc'

by either. The want of water supply
and regularly organized fire company was
fearfully felt at this fire. Everybody want
ell to be chief, and issued his directions ac-
| rordingly, while there was no one to heed
them, until three or four cool. headed men
took hold and Strengthened things out
The school authorities and the insurance
companies are indebted to Messrs. Sloan,
Baisal, William H. May, A. W. Mitchell,
James Hemphill, Howard Titus, and Dr.
Cut Wells for efficient services Immediately

pumps, shifted hose, etc, whose names it is
impossible to give. +. A. Ellis and Thos.

Jacob Rambo, Bailiff Smith, Justices Lewis

Barroll, Mr.. Brokaw, principal of the
school, Mr.. Frank Scott, and a number of
Others were upon the ground and took active
part. To those who carried the water and
manned the engine, however, the most
praise is due, and these are the very ones
whose names cannot be known The pro,;i-
inent places at such times find plenty of
takers, while it is only here and there a
man is found ready to go to work at the
downright hard labor of manning the ma
chine and carrying water, knowing his ser
vices will not be acknowledged. Hundreds
stood around with bands in pockets, while
about dozen men worked the engine
One of these we did recognize 1t was Mr..

force all the time she was at work, and to
the old engine the subjugation of the flames
is to be attributed.
DIR. Cut Wells was in the cellar amid ire
and smoke, playing on it with the chemical
extinsuisher, when some one closed the
doors on him, placing him in an ugly pre-
dicament 1: was only by the greatest
efforts he managed to force the door open
again and escape from sutfocation.
One man, when told that it was the school
house that was on fire, very anxiouSly in
quired whether or not 60 the children all got
out safely
A lady awakened from her sleep by the
cry of fire, hurredly went to the door,
opened it, and while looking to see where
the fire was, the door blew shut, locking
the dead latch. and leaving her outside in
style of dress not usually seen on the
streets. She had hard work to arouse the
sleeping members of the family, but finally
succeeded.
More than one man tried to kick the iron
grating out of the cellar windows, and
failed.
About one hundred buckets of wafer
were thrown into a cellar window, upon
the damp ground floor, while the fire was
thirty feet away
One man cried out "let us have dg-cess
to the cellar" and youth ran to him with
a Ratchet.
People on the way to the fire had iollv
time falling over pile of coal, on Main
street, above Howard, in the dark. Some
very suggestive remarks were made there

In the present abundance of bad verse
it is refreshing to find something which
may be said to be better, though 1T is
seldom perhaps, absolutely good. We
select, therefore, an agreeable contribu,
ton from the April number of Temple
Bar. 1t is by Gerard Lewis.
SPRING.
The soft spring danceth in her mirth
With steps that turned the brown earth
green,
And voice that summoned the young flow,
eretS forth,
Like stars around their Queen
The warm winds breathing from the south
Sottening the azure sky above,
We're as the melting kisses of her mouth
That wake the world to love.
Mid bursting buds and building birds,
And vocal waters everywhere,
She came with bleat of lambs and low OF
herds,
And touched me unaware.
For on single grave upset,
Ger all that life or love endears,
She threw random blossom as she passed
And left me drowned in tears.

the smonlderng ruins. Amy information
that will lead to his recovery will be thank
fully received at the office of Squire Scott,
or at the office of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court in Elkton
