WITHDRAWING THEIR INsURANcE.--The
board of School Commissioners, at their meet
ing on Tuesday passed an order instructing
their Secretary to notify the Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company in Hartford county that on the
first of next January the school board will with
draw all their insurance upon school houses
from the company. This action of the school
board has been taken because the Fire Insur-
ance Company has declined to pay the full
amount of $500 insurance on La Grange school
house, which was destroyed by fire several
months ago. The officers of the company say
they have had estimates from competent
mechanics who offer to give bond to restore the
building, the walls of which are standing, for
$3.50 with single roof, or $500 with a
slate roof The company are willing to either
replace the building pay to the School
Commissioners $500. The building was octag-
snail in shape and the school board desire to
change the form of it. They think that in
view of the large amount of property they
have insured in the home company and the
promptncss with which their premiums and as
sessments have been paid they should be dealt
with in liberal spirit, particularly as the en-
tire public and no particular individual will be
benefited.

with their shells on, and are most plentiful
around the trunks of large trees Some of them
cast their shells on the ground, while others at
tach themselves to the trunks and limbs of trees
and shrubs, where they come out of their envel-
ope, their wings grow rapidly and they fly away.
Hogs, poultry, squirrels and birds devour them
with avidity. They are, it is said, not injurious
to vegetation, except from the injury done by
the female in depositing her eggs in the twigs
of trees. By the 9Th of June all of them have
left the ground From the 18th to the Goth they
commence depositing their eggs. Ten days at.
forwards the old locusts begin to disappear and
about the 25th of July the eggs are ready to
hatch, the young insects dropping to the ground.

Gen. McCIellan's Grafton ut Antietam


The Grafton delivered by Gen. Geo. B. Nc
Clellan, on the battle. field of Antetam, on
Decoration Day, was repete with noble,
generous and patriotic sentiments.
"Within the walls of this vast cemetery" said
he, 'peopled almost in a single day, those who
met death sleep after their long and desperate
struggle. These men who laid down their own
and sought each others lives in fierce but loyal
battle have been placed almost side by side
awaiting that last dread trumpet sound that shall
call them to life again. There are here to-day
those who fought on either side; men who, clad
in gray, followed the noble Lee, and we who
wore the blue. We are here with common
purpose-to testify ourreyerence for the valiant
dead. 50 let us bury all animosity, all bitter
recollections of the past, remembering only that
on Antietam's hills brave men gave their lives
for what they thought right. | pray that this
fair land of ours may never again be the scene
of such carnage. | shall not trench upon the
causes of that war further than to say that our
children should never forget that it was brought
about, and even made necessary by the extrem
lists of the two sides. If the moderate men
North and South could have controlled events
the dread arbitrament of arms might have been
avoided
Gen. Mcclellan also paid the following
manly tribute to Gen. Robert E. Lee:
81 am glad that have been permitted to live
until the fame and exploits of those magnan-
nous rivals, until the ability and virtue of
Robert E. Lee, and the achievements of the
Army of Northern Virginia, as well as the hero
ism and renown of the Grand Army of the Po-
tomac have already become part of common
heritage of glory of all our people, Would |
could meet here to-day the living presence of
that splendid man and soldier, Robert E. Lee,
in this very field, where, in all honor and ear
nestness we strove. as enemies, and even take him
by the hand as in the long-past days when we
served together in the land of the Montezumas
know that his nature bore no malice, and that
he would be the first to respond to the greeting
and unite with us in paying to the gallant dead
of this Army of the Potomac the same tribute
offer to his Army Of Northern Virginia."
Gen. Mcclellan graphically sketched the
greatness of the United States, and opposed
centralized government, which, he said,
would result in dsmemberment The pres
ent division into States, counties, cities,
towns, SC, with their own local control, is
best for the interests of the people. Let the
general government keep within the restric-
tons of the constitution, and all will be we'll

Howard COOper's Case.

The case of Howard Cooper, coored, con-
victed in the Criminal Court of Baltimore
city for felonious assault upon Miss Kate
Gray, of Baltimore county, was argued in
the Court of Appeals, on the 2Sth of May, on
writ of error based on an alleged discrimi
nation against the admission of colored
men to the Grand Jury of Baltimore
county. The court adjourned until June 23d,
at which time their decision will be announc-
cd tbs expected that the opinion of the
court will show clearly that the law of the
Stale of Maryland is not in conflict with the
Constitution and laws of the United States,
and consequently that Cooper's appeal can.
not be sustained. In the meantime Cooper
will remain in Baltimore city Jail until the
decision is rendered. If adverse to him, as
expected, he will be removed to Baltimore
county for execution.
