Am ElucidatiOn.

Mr.. Editor-In your issue of June 2S,
.sS4, appeared an article-the central
figure of which being the late Principal
OF the high Schoo, of this town-so eulo-
CYSTIC As to excite the utmost wonder in
the mind of every intelligent reader who
was aware of all the proceedings of the
above mentioned gentleman of ability
and thorough experience" during his
two years sojourn in our midst The
nature, though not tile substance of the
article, seemed to leave no doubt as to
its authorship. Such encomiums, we
tnonght. could come alone from the
Board of Directors, under whom that
inst and impartial" Principal has la
bored for the moral training and adj
vancement" of our ..sons and daughters. I"
AS We know of no private citizen for
whom he has performed such signal ser
vices, or to whom he has rendered him
self so personally agreeable as to call
forth such vo.iey of panegyric. That
the School Board had examined. and
felt satisfied with, the ..basis of examin-
alton and cardinal principles on
which their Institution is said to have
been conducted. and in consequence he'd
deemed word of praise encouraging to
the Young graduate of the High school
In Baltimore. This, we say, was the
only solution we considered possible as
10 the question of the authorship of the
article under discussion. Bnt when we
ascertained the astounding fact that the
gentleman of ability tn manage and
discipline had thus sounded his own
praises, We Were struck dumb save for
o-t ..ss..ol, az 10 w.ita lis tlGmIttei

Cordes, wholesale grocers and COM

new firm, is well known to many OF
our readers, having been member

a number of years past. during
which time, by his urbanity and
gentlemanly treatment of his Gus
toners, aud his many good quail
ties of mind and heart, coupled
with a strict attention to business,
he succeeded in building up an ex-
tensive trade with the merchants
throughout the State, and we be-
speak the same liberal patronage
for the new firm. See advertise
