We are much gratifed to be able to report
this week that we now have on roll the names
of a considerable number of our young men
who have expressed their willingness to take
part in organizing eur military company, and
we can predict that in its organic ,tion at least,
it is an assured success, as all with whom we,
and others interested have talked, have express
scd much enthusiasm and hearty good will for
our company. Now the question is, and the

During the storm Of Thursday night last
a very sad accident occurred near the mouth of
the Wiconiro river. Two vessels colidsd, one
Of which afterwards sank. Not knowing any
serious damage Mad been sustained the vessels
made for harhor and anchored, near Shipping

and tiilowy waves, they could not lower the

was above water, but for which, all would
have found a watery grave. Five men were

Of The other two. The name Of the vessel sunk

Temporary Closing of the schools.

Elsew here in to-dAys paper, the School
Board announces that the white schools will
be closed for the present quarter on the 3lst Of
this month"; being fifteen DAYS in advance Of
the close Of the quarter. They will be opened
again for Tie next quarter on the 10th Of April
and it is presumed y i'll remain open until tht
close Of the scholastic year. This step has
been rendered necessary by the diminished
amount Of the school fund distributed for this
present quarter. 1t will be seen by the figures
published elsewhere that the quarterly distr-
button for the uhte schools in this county re-
ed schools receive 81 4s4 80. The amount re-
ceived for the white schools heretofore has
been about s. 300. The cause Of The dimin-
ished dis ributiou 10 he white schools is that
the collectors of taxes have been unusually de
!inquent in accounting with the Comptroller
for the State taxes during the present quarter
OF he l83 cents on the 500, h;ch constitutes
thu State tax, 10 cents is for public education
When this tax is promptly collected and turn
ed in the treasury, it is sufficient TO keep our
/ Wnlte sCnOOIS III operation LOT the luII leTlD
thI amount accruin. to this county being, as ".
have stated, about 81 300 but, owing to th.
diminished collections this quarter, the amount
! ed distribution has been coIrospondngly re-
duced. This has necessitated the cl,sing o
the schools for Is days, which will effect
saving Of one-ffth Of the quarterly salaries o
! teachers. 1t is much to he regretted that sucf
Il step should have become necessary, both or
account of tho loss of time 10 the pupils anC
the enforced idleness and suspension OF salarie
Of The teachers, whose remuneration is alrea
small enough though Of course no blame Gil
! be attached TO the School Board. In the cas-
of the colored schools, there is an annual ap
preparation Of 500, 900 directly from the treas
urv, which is not dependent upon the promp
collection of taxes, and hence the pupils ano
teachers of these will not be affected by thu
deinqnencies Of the taxcollectors.

school Fund.

On FRIDAY list the Comptroller made his
quarterly distribution Of The public school tax
10 the several counties and city Of Baltimore

The distribution to the white schools is much
Smaller than usual, Notwithstanding the fact
that the whole balance Of public school tax re-
ccived up 10 this date AID not heretofore dis
tributtd has been apporuoued 10 the schools

decrease is attributable TO he fact that the re

unusually small in the psf quarter OF the

Holy Wee k.

The present week is known as Holy week,
and it is 50 called because it is commemorative
of Christ death for mankind and because it is
observed with the greatest solcmniry and strict
ness Of fasting in all parts of the christian
world. Earl writers mention the fact that
during this week many christians nbst,.ined
from food from Monday morning until Easter
morning though now the fast is not observed
so rigidly. Holy week beg las OIL Palm sunday,
which was last SUNDAY. This day is desi gned
to recall the circumstances attending the
Slviours entrance into Jerusalem, When the
j,eople hailed Him as their king, strewing his
path with olive branches and palm. very

Church on Sunday to wituess the ceremony,
which is practic,d in all Roman Catholic
Churches, of blessing and distribu,u the
