THE BEL AIR CoLoRED School On Monday
morning School Examiner Mitchell paid visit
of inspection TO the Bel Air colored public
school He was accompanied by several citi-
zens of the town. The school, which numbers
30 pupils, is taught by Miss Samantha Green
an intelligent and well educated young colored
woman, of New York. Owing to the pressure
of spring farm work most of the larger and
more advanced boys have been withdrawn
About "a pupils, however, were present. Glasses
were examined in arithmetic, reading and spell
ing. Although somewhat ditident under the
eyes of strangers, they acquitted themselves
creditably. The effort to educate the colored
children of the State is one that should be en-
cOuraged Their usefulness as citizens will GER
tainly be enhanced if they are taught at least
to read, write and keep accounts

MISS JENNIE SHURE.

Miss Jennie Shure, daughter of Mr.. Daniel f
Shure, Superintendent of the Tide-Water canal
died after brief illness, at the residence of her
father, at Shures Landing, at o'clock, on the
morning of April Z, 1883, and was inferred in the
beautiful Darlington cemetery, on Monday after
noon April 9th, services having first been held at
Grace Memorial p. Il. church, of which she was O
member, by the rector, Rev. Il. w. Wroth, assist
ed by Rev. L. A. Colburn of Churchyille. The
choir, of which she was also member, having
been tastefully draped in mourning by the hands
of her loving lady friends
The flower in the morning of life has dropped
us no more in this land Of sorrow and gloom, but
will add another tie to draw us on to that Eter-
nal bourne of blessedness prepared for those who
walk in the way of light and love. The family
chain, formed by the parents and twelve children,
has for the first time been broken. Yea, one of
its brightest links that all of the others were SO
tenderly and lovingly united with has been sud
denly and rudely sundered. 1t is a broken tie
that no earthly mechanic can ever weld anew
The great Architect of the universe can alone in
His mansions on high restore that loving unity
To that happy reunion we can only point the
broken-hearted for their comfort in this great
sorrow. Let them remember and draw solace
therefrom-that for those who walk in the light
of Faith, Earth hath no sorrow that Heaven can
not heal But oh It's hard, it's hard, thus TO
part with loving and beloved daughter and sis
ter to have the soul darkened forever through
the extinguishment of the bright light of the fam
lily. Sad hearts be comforted by the thought that
true and faithful in all her trusts, and now has
gone to her rewards, prepared for the good, Sc
cure in her eternal rest.
Re cOmforted, sad hearts that Rrieve the whole
community mourns with you; the chord of sor-
row In the breasts of all who knew her has been
tensely and painfully strung and vibrated:
The stricken father and the devoted, self-sacri-
fcing mother are the recipients of universal sym
pathy throughout the bounds of their wide ac-
quaintanceshtp. We all grieve with you, and
trust that you may find consolation in the hope
of union with the loved and lost in that "other
and better world"

There are none above Port Deposit. -Four floats
and eight shores are fishcd below Havre de Grace,
mostly in the river mouth and Bay, in the vici-
nifty of Spesutia Island. In addition to these
about 500 men, there are very many gillers who
fish for shad for the markets and send the results
of their labors fresh to Philadelphia, New York
and baltimore

Col. STUMP's BARN BURNED.-At q o'clock
Wednesday morning when the hands On Col.
Herman Stump's farm, Waverly near Bel Air,
went to the barn, one of them thought he per-
ceived the smell of fire. Upon going into the
hay-mow they found pile of oat.straw, in one
corner, on fire, the flames having evidently just
started. The men ran for buckets and water,
and when they returned, in a few minutes, the
entire NOW was In n blaze. They had barely
time to remove the horses and cows before the
whole building was on fire. 1t was entirely de-
stroyed. few days ago Col Stump removed
nearly all his best farming implements and ma
chinery from the tool house into the barn, and
these were all burned, with all his hay, straw, a
large quantity of feed, wagon and pillow har-
ness and phosphate. The barn was one of the
finest in the county. 1t was 90 feet square, with
an overshoot, and could not be replaced for
5000. Col. Stump's loss will reach nearly
5000. On this there is insurance for e., 600 on
the building and 81, goo on its contents. The
barn, 1t is believed, was set on fire, accidentally
or otherwise, by a tramp. When Col. Stump's
men discovered the fire they saw also the i'm
preston of mans form in the oat straw near
where it was on fire. About the same time
tramp, with oat straw adhering TO his back,
was seen going from the direction of the barn.

Oriental Women.

AS time progresses, the condition OF
the women of the Orient rapidly i'm
proves. Japan has taken the lead in
this respect, and to-day Japanese women
occupy a position and exert an influence
that few of them would have dared dream
Of n quarter of n century ago. China is
being taught the lesson, though more
slowl ly than Japan, and woman are enter
ing to lmitod extent into the world of
business and politics. Merchants of Can-
ton, who would have secluded their wives
with tho utmost caro- decade or two
ago, now permit them to be seen, and,
what is moro, they allow them to con-
verse with other men. They travel with
them on the steamers that navigate the
Chinese rivers and the waters along the
coast, and it is said that some of them
have gone SO far rs to allow their wives
to sit with them at tho public tables.
similar progressis observable among the
Siameso and other eastern nations. The
world still moves.
