Much of the time of Legislature is taken
up with the consideration of local hws,
about which the Delegates from counties
other than the one directly interested know
little and care less. It has been suggested
that il might materially shorten the session
ofthe Legislature if all such matters were
left to the discretion of County Commits,
sioners, who know what would subserve the
interests of the people of their respective
counties. On this subject the Cambridge
Democrat and Nescs says:
The Annapolis correspondent of the Balti-
more SIN made good suggestion recently,
to the effect that it would be good policy to
give the county commissioners of the several
counties the power to make petty local laws
and thus relieve the Legislature of much of
its present unimportant work. Such laws rs
those governing game, foxes, wildfowl, musk
rats, roads and road gates, the building of
bridges, wharyes and many other matters of
purely local interest could well come under
the supervision of the county commissioners,
who would be apter to arrive mt more correct
conclusions concerning them than the Leg
islature in which it is impossible for delegates
from Allegany county to decide whether n
wharf or pier shall he built in Cambridge or
not. If the county commissioners had con
troll of these affairs they would be conducted
in accordance with county opinion with no
outside influences to interfere with or hinder
their enactment and enforcement.

The trade journals say that enquiries for
canned goods continue to be made and more
cheerful tone pervades the markets. The
jobbers, it is believed, have not carried large
stocks of goods, and are now ready to begin
buying to supply their customers. 1t is not
probable, however, that large purchases will
be made. The demand will doubtless be
moderate and steady, and prices are not ex-
pected to advance very much.

THE FUNERAL OF Col. VIM b. STEPHENSON,
which took place at Rock Run NJ. +. Church,
last Saturday, was largely attended. The Rev.
Mr.. Gushing held religious services at the
house, the service at the grave being by mason
ic rites, Col. Stephenson having been member
of Stephenson Lodge of lapidum the lodge
being named in his honor. The masonic cere-
monies were directed by DR.. W. w. Virdin,
Grand Master, assisted by Mr.. james Smith
Marshal The pail bearers were Messrs. John
Craig, Asel Tollinser, David +. Wilson, VIM.
IL. Reasin, Ambrose Cooley and John G. Kelly.
Col. Stephenson will be greatly missed. As
IA neighbor he was oblging and conslderate,
being particularly kind 10 the poor, none of
whom he ever sent away empty handed. AS a
citizen he was public-sprited and earnest in his
devotion 10 the interests of the county. He was
an excellent business man and one of our most
cnterprsing and progressive farmers. His
farm had been brought 10 the highest
state of fertility and is probably unsur-
passed in productiyeness by any farm in liar
ford.
