Carroll County Teachers Association

reported Tor the DemOCTdtlC AuNOcdte.l
The Teachers Association of Carroll County
met at Central Hall Schoolhouse, Westmin-
ster, Friday, February 8, for the transaction
of business, &C., Mr.. John c. Nutting in the
chair.
After prayer by Mr. Adam Zimmerman they
proceeded to business. On calling the roll
80 members answered to their names. Mr.
Daniel l.. McSwiney' suggestion to have but
one session was accepted.
Prof. j. NJ. Newson read list of books
that could be added to a school library with
very little cost. He urged every teacher to
make an effort to have library, and called
their attention to the school law, which adds
ten dollars after ten has first been raised.
First on the programme was an essay on
''Cramming Culture by Prof j. NJ. New
son. He thought that many of our school ex
aminatons explained the examining process
much better than he could, and feared that
some teachers, to please the parents and 9th
ers, INDUCED in it. The essay terminated in
a discussion, Mr.. Daniel Ebaugh and others
Joining in. Mr.. Ebaugh thought that children
should not be taught as We teach parrots; that
this examining of pupils he could compare to
nothing better. He thought the process used
to prepare children for public examination
very wrong; that the child's mind was drawn
away from practical studies, and examining
culture inculcated instead.
Miss c.. Belle Poole entertained the Associ-
alton with some choice reading.
Miss Mamie Z. johnson presided at the
organ, and Prof. c. H. Spurrier' music was,
as usual, much appreciated.
After some discussion on grammatical err
rors, &C., the Association adjourned to meet

The Next Governor.

In the Baltimore Day of the 9Th inst, the
"Arctomys Monax of Antietam,' on ground
hog day, doubtless, when that curious animal
is supposed to creep out of his hole to look
for his shadOw, must have heard some OF the
folly, and perhaps worse than folly, which is
occasionally uttered by thoughtless writers on
the subject of the next Governor of Mary
land and, to reprove what he then thought he
saw to be clearly wrong, he gave, in a ram
bling sort of way, nearly column OF timely
admonition, closing with the following, which
all ought to endorse: .-ss-# fa
"Maryland's favorite son to-day though not yet
in the 'sere and yellow leaf has already attracted
attention and admiration far and wide. The CAPT.
tai of the whole country appreciates him. baltimore
Democracy unanimously, as well as thousands OF
magnanimous Republlcans-will hail with swelling
pride the mere mention of his name. Need he be
here announced? No 1t would be invldlous ana
vioaIve of what is here inculcated. But, II local
preudiceS, the selfish advocates of the nomination

escutcheon of Marylands present safest leader by

loatheS all eyes in the convention Will almost in
voluntarily turn to him; and he will be nominated
thereupon admring people WILL of course, tri-
umphanty elect him to be Governor of his native
State.
This bill can be admirably filled; and the
"Arctomys'' will not have to go far out of his
range to find the proper man here in Carroll
County.

their way to work. The tracks of some kind

the track. Each man gave his opinion as to

it was a horse, others COW, some hog, and
finally one man decided that it was the Evil

be the tracks of the dog of Mr.. Henry Baker,

When the ground-ho went in on the End of
this month the politicians came out. Candi-
dates for Office are numerous III this district.
1t is a little remarkable that we have no can
didate for Governor in Freedom district.
We have men here who, if there were shadow
of show, would, no doubt, announce them
selves for the position. But for everything
else. fellow-citizens of Carroll, stand from
under; we've got EN-, and if anyone wants to
build a church in this district this is a good
time to travel around to collect. Candidates
for the Legislature are plenty, and some twenty
old men have been scratching their gray heads
as they calculated their chances for the Com
missioners' Board and the Orphans Court.
The Orphans Court has the greater number
of candidates, and, strange to say, all who
want the place are orphans. We merely give
this piece of news to show the position our
people expect to occupy, and we think the
county ought to rejoice when she knows one
of her districts can furnish material, and that
willingly, to run state government. We will
continue in a future letter our political pre-
dictions.

Banishing a Leper.

A leper, who came ashore at Lewes, Del,
from foreign vessel few days ago, caused
such an excitement that special meeting of
the Town Council was decided upon to con-
slider ways and means to rid the community
of the dangerous patient. The meeting re-
suited in his being ordered to leave town.
On being interviewed by reporter, he ad-
mitted that he was leper, and gave his name
as James Atwald. He said he was an En-
glishman by birth, but up to the last summer
had been for ten years resident of Havana,
where the disease, the germs of which were
latent in his system, developed itself. His
impression was that he contracted the lnhrml-
ty while at Madagascar, where he and others
of the crew with whom he was associated
were forced to work side by side with gang
of natives, number of whom were known to
be diseased Sometimes the colors his skin
had assumed would blend until his flesh actu-
ally appeared to him almost as variegated as
a garden in Jnne. The horror of his position
became at the time almost unbearable, and
he contemplated suicide as a means to escape
his awful fate. He studied his case, and
having learned that exposure to cold weather
was the only means by which its ravages
could be mitigated, he determined to go to
Canada and enter a hospital in Toronto. 1t
was with this object in view that he obtained
a berth on the English ship Formosa. The
Captain, however, suspected the nature of his
ailment, and told him he must leave the ship
at Wilmington, N. c. At his request, how
ever, the Captain permitted him to land at
Lewes instead, from which point he intended
to go to Canada. Mr.. Atwald during the
interview displayed to the reporter the pecu-
liarities of the disease as developed in his
case. The mere rubbing of his hand created
a fine, bran-like dust. Across the palm the
lines were streaked brightly, so that in the
rays of the sun they shone like web-work of
silver. This peculiarly in his flesh had com
municated to the crow-f feet lines on his tenn
