Sheep Killed.

The worthless ours have again begun Their
murderous work on the sheep-folds of the
farmers in this neighbor hood. rhis time the
sufferer is Mr. Cataldus II. Posey. Some dog

the doctor was engaged in the house the iIors'

We see from the Washington papers that
the work of tearing down the wall OF the old
Convent al the corner Of G. and l0tS street in
that city has been begun. With the old Cen
vent is linked the names of many sanity wo-
m,a from this section of the State who have
ing since 'renounced the pomps and vanities
of this wicked world and dictated their lises
to religious devoiions and christian charities.
The first mother superior was Eliza Matthews
of this county. The preseat mother superior
is Louisa Dyer, whose name in religion is Sister
Mary Augustine Dyer, of Prince Georges
county. She comes of one Of the old Mary land
families noted for force of character and intel
lectual ability. 10 her world life Sister Angus
tine WAS a belle, admired and beloved.
Among others here Sister Mary Philo-
men Stonestreet, and Sister Nary Benedict

tweaty- nine members of the community. They

Why IL tbs -:

We learn from cur Honts omery exchange,
that the schools of that county wi | be affected
similar TO cur own this quarter. by The falling
off of the usual apporiionment. twas intend
ed, however to continue the schools there this
quarter and depend on the shortage in the dis
tribution bting made up in the next quarter, in
June or July Mr. White, the examiner for
tht county wrote to Comptroller Heating ask
ing If it was probable that the amount would
be made good at that distribution, and has re-
ceived from the comptroller a reply to the effect
that ii will be impossible for him TO say any
thing at this time about the future disiribu-
tons as it depends upon the collectors through
out the State. 1t can hardly be possible that
such on important branch of our civil govern
ment as public education will he allowed to
decline on account of the iardiness of tax
collectors. Surely the remedy is al hand, why
not use it? We suggest that the comptroller
and Others in authority Immediately adopt the
necessary measures to make these gargons c lme
forward with the amount due the State for edu-
ca,ional purposes or show good and sufficient
cause why proceedings should not be instituted
to get it. We suggest prompt and even severe
means be at once adopted to obtain the moLey
to carry on our public schools.

sH Don't Remember"

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Mr. Mer-
rick continued his argument in the
Star-route case to-day, and upon
taking up the subject of the 81. B.
b. check remarked that it. was
due to Mr.. Bedford to say that
there was no testimony in or out Of
this case that in any way implicated
or involved him in Star-route mat
ters. Mr.. Belford was an honora-
BILE gentleman holding high posi-
ton in public life, and as current
rumors might be calculated to do
him some damage, he (Mr. Merrick)
made these remarks in reparation
for any wrong done to him. Mr..
Merrick then took up the evidence
relating to the Dorseys, and pointed
out the improbabilty and inconsis-
tency Of their several statements.
After referring to the so-called ':Red
Books of S. W. Dorsey which had
not been produced, be proceeded to
show how Rerdell's statements with
regard to them were corroborated
by circumstances and other evi-
dence. Toward the close Of the af-
ternoon he initiated Ingersolrs re-
cent figure Of speech with re-
gard to the burial of Rerdell by.
giving similar fanciful descriptions
of the burial and resurrection Of S.
w. Dorsey. ''Since they had be-
gun to bury men, he said. he
might as well follow it up. He
would bury Dorsey alongside Of
Rerdell. His fellow conspirators
should be mourners over them. He
would erect an arch, one end rest
ing on the grave of Dorsey and the
other end on that Of Rerdell, and
then. on the keystone of the arch
should be written the epitaph:
They were delightful and lovely in
their lives and in death they were
not parted Giving a peculiarly
lugubrious and sing-song intonation
to his voice, Mr.. Merrick continued:
':And if, Notwithstanding counsers
prayers, Gabriel when he passed
over those graves should blow, and
the corrupt and buried Dorsey
should arise an immortal spirit and
come into that last Grand Court
before the Great Searcher Of Hearts,
before whom we must all appear,
and the Great Searcher and ALL
knowing should ask him, Were you
not in the flesh known as Stephen
w. Dorsey?' the spirit would an
swer, i don't rememt err"
An uproarious burst of laughter
greeted Mr.. Merrick's sally, and
after yainly rapping for order, Judge
Wylie adjourned the court.

A Fire Department at Last.

The citizens meeting that was held
in the Opera House Monday afternoon
to consider the propriety and feasibili-
ty Of establishing fire department,
was not unusually large; but it was
composed of thoughtful men who knew
their minds. including nearly all the
large taxpayers OF the town. 1t was
not one Of your soda-water meetings,
all foam and splutter; quite otherwise.
7. J. Pope. Esq. was called to the
chair and d. o. Herbert, Esq, elected
Secretary. The chairman then stated
that the engine which has been on trial
here, with 1000 feet of hose and two
reels. including freight, can be laid
down at the depot for $4,G20-to be
,paid in six annual instalments, at Z per
Gent. That three tanks OF about Co.
900 gallons capacity each, can be made
on the public square for 5000. making
the total cost $500. That the present
revenue OF the town is just sufficient
to meet its ordinary expenses; that
the Council have reached the legal
limit of a two mills tax; that they
have no authority to issue bonds or
levy 4 special tax: and they therefore
thought it proper to refer this matter
to the citiZehs. He stated farther,
that tax of one mill would yield
about 81 600 a year, the taxable pro-
pertv OF the town being somewhat
more than $1.G00.G00. He stated that
n paved rock-way would be constructed
from the Enginc-houSct to one tank, and
the mud would thus be no hindrance.
That the annual expense OF keeping
up the department would not be great
and could be paid oGt Of the ordinary
revenue of the town.
1t was ascertained that the capacity
OF the engine is 325 gallons minute,
and that it will throw through 900
hose, feet about 225 gallons minute
exhausting 10000 gallons tank in
about four hours.
Mr.. Mower moved ''rhat the Town
Council be authorized and directed to
apply to the Legislature for permission
to levy special tax Of one mill an
nually for seven years, for the purpose
OF establishing a fire department for
the town of Newberrv, including the
right on the part of the Council to is
sue bonds or make other satisfactory
arrangements with seller of supplies
for department" The resolution was
adopted unanimously and without dis
cussion-in the midst of applause.
'Tis 4 consummation devoutly to be
wished.

Ten convicts who were at work
on the Georgetown Railroad have
been returned to the Penitentiary
for hospital treatment. They were
leased to the road, as able-bodied
men; they are returned broken down
in health and spirits. The cores
pondent Of the Neacs and Courier
says, The officers of the Peniten-
tiary are thoroughly disheartened
by the continuance Of this sort Of
thing" If the officers are dishear-
tened, what must be the state Of
the feelings Of the victims them
selves. The State might at least
do its work with greater dispatch.
Why torture the wretches to death?
For the credit of the State and its
good name, let the convicts be hang
