Powhatan, I'd District.-A saloon at the
western terminus of Baltimre street is open every
Sunday Men, boys and even women are contin-
ualy passing in and out. The bartender, in his
shirt sleeves, is kept busy ''settng them up" Up
stairs regular concert is carried on, consisting
of vocal and instrumental music. Hilarity of al
most every description is heard out upon the
street. A few Sundays ago, as an inoffensive
citizen was passing the place, lot of inebriates
fell upon him with stones, and when they let up
the man was covered with blood. Now, with
these bold facts staring us in the face, we would
ask our County Commissioners or any others high
in authority, Do you tolerate such actions-ac-
tons in open violation of law And is that noble
band of county policemen, whom you have APP
pointed to bring these outlaws to justice, for
whose noble services the taxpayers of Baltimore
county willingly pay their taxes, are these pre-
SENATORS of law in colleague with the law viola
tors i? If so, then the sooner you dispense with
their services the better, as it will materially
Tighten the onerous burdens pressing SO heavily
upon the taxpayers.
The Powhatan Literary Society was, as usual,

The Arctic voyagers, the wild geese, several
focks of which have been seen passing over recent
ly, Enthusiastically informs that the icy chains of
winter have been broken, and that Dame Nature
is about to throw off her white robe of modest
purity and attire herself in her spring robe of iv
ing green. Already the maple blossoms are max
ing the air fragrant the for get not and trail
ing vines are lifting their tiny heads above the
surface; the spring songsters have attuned their
mellow threats and begun to MARBLE forth their
sweet anthems, and all Nature seems to rejoice at
the near approach of lovely spring. The farmers
in this section are rejoicing over the bright pros
pectorf "5ng u arrvst sIsrfhhg wofthIss OF BaI0;
more county yeomanry, Mr.. William Goss, while
standing the edge of one of his grain fields the
other day, exclaimed at does look well!' How
many of the farmers of this county can join in the

The schools, both public and private, in this
section, are beginning to fill up, as the children,

The new Baltimore cemetery, "Lorraine," stu
ated near Powhatan, promises to be the finest in
the United States. The grading, lawning, etc.,
under the supervision of Mr.. Randolph r. Ware,
is progressing. The company to whom this GEM
etery belongs, has made new departure. The
antiquated phases of adornment by tomb-stones,
iron fences etc., as exhibited in all the cemeteries
around Baltimore, are left out. No fence of any
kind or curbing is to be put around the lots, and
no tomb stones to be used. One marble shaft is
to be erected in the centre of each lot, containing
inscriptions, etc. L.
