Circuit Court.
The July intermediate term of our Cir uit
Court convened at 10 clock, A. NJ :. on Mon
day, with Chief Judge Stone on the bench
The dockets were called over and judgment
entered in plain cases. John Campbell, colored,
appeared and renewed peace warrant that he
had sworn out against Mr. Frank r. Wheatly
about a year ago. Mr.. Wheatly renewed his
security. R. H. Edelen, Esq, moved the ad
mission to the bar of Messrs Beale E. Padgett
and w. Mitchell Muschette. Mr.. Muschette
having already been admitted before the
Supreme Bench of Baltimore city, was sworn
in as an attorney at this bar. Messrs. r. H.
Edelen L. Allison Wilmer and A. Posey were
appointed by the Court as a com,nitte to exam
inc Mr.. Padgett and ascertain his qualifications
as an attorney. The committee postponed the
examination until Tuesday, and the Court then
adjourned,
Tuesday-Court was called at 10 o'clock
with Judges Stone and Brooke on the bench.
Judge Brooke fled written opinion in the
equity case of Smoot IS. Hungerford which
was tried at the last May term. We gave a re-
sumo of this case at the time, so it will be ua
necessary for US to repeat it hear. The case
was decided in favor of DIR. S.noot.
The case OF ] W S,oddard l. Co. VS. Thomp-
son l. Page was taken up. In this Case Stod-
dard l. Co. sued Thompson l. Page, who had
been acting as their agents in the county, for
the sale of wheat drills, for Sl13, So, being the
amount due them by said Thompson l. Page.
The suit was made ont against VI. Thompson
and Walter N. Page, while it appeared that the
contract between the parties was signed by H.
Thompson and VIM. B. Page; and the Court
held that Walter NJ P..ge was not liable for the
debt, but gave jude me- Mt against Thompson for
the full amount, and judgment in favor Of
Walter NJ. Page for the costs in the case
Mr.. Beale E. Padge,t was examined in open
Court by the committee appoi1ted for that
purpose and passed highly creditable exami-
nation, and was sworn in as an attorney, after
which the Court adjourned until the 3rd Mon
day of November next

We would particularly call The attention
of our farmer readers 10 the advef tisement OF
Mr. John II. Lloyd, the clever aud genial
agent for the reliable feriiiizng goods Of q
Ober's l. Sons Company. These goods have
been used extensively throughout this section
and that the best results have been attained by
the use of them will be fully attesisd by every
individual observing farmer who bas tried
them. When so many worthless compounds
are on the market and sold as pla,R' producin z
goods, and as our farmers generally have no
means of distinguishing the gooi from the
worthless save from trials or the kaoHn relia-
bility of tie detler it is we'll for them to deal
only with those whose reputation f,r reliability
and honesty is well established, as he case OF
Mr.. Lloyd and the standard goods hs represents
He is known TO nearly all of our poop aad i
is also well known that whatever he says in
regard to his goods i: strictly true t, the letter.
Therefore in purchasing fertilizers for fall crops
remember this gentleman and de ii either with
him Or through his agents in this section. You
may them safely rely on getting what you pay
for. Read advertsem mt elsew here

No Steamboat Racing Allowed.

Supervising Inspector ofSteamboats james
Curran, accompanied by Deputy Inspectors
Saville and Valentine, made personal inspec-
t on Of all the river stea before the latter
left for their regular Sunday excursions down
the Potomac Sunday morning. Inspector Cur
IN made numerous inquiries concerning the
race which is said 10 have taken place rereatly
betw cen the steamers Armenia and Arrows smith
Mr.. George L. Sheriff, agent for the Armenia,
says the sta tements which had been published
about the alleged race were greatly exaggerated
According to his statement the Armenia is a
somaw hat swifief boat than the Atrowsmith,
and generally asses her going up or down the
river with ease. On the occasion referred to
the Armenia had aboard an inferior quality OF
coal, and was following the Arrowsmih up
the river without attempting to pass her.
What vii: the Harvest Be?
The Baltimore Sun, wi h lis usual interest
and energy has obtained report Of the heat
CROP of the State from its reliable correspond
ents. The Sun notes that the quality Of the
berry is, with few exceptions, reported to be
good, and the yield on the whole much better
than was anticipated, the favorable weather
during the spring and early summer making
up to some extent the falling off occasiened By
the drought last fall and the severe and pro
tracted winter.

Hawaiian treaty than Of her com.
mercc in any other quarter Of the
globe. IL is almost the only foreign
trade the nation monopolizcs in her
own ships. II is not necessary to
repeat the arguments of the BuI-
letin, which are not new TO our
readers, and we close with quoting
two of its conclusions, namely;
1.-The balance of treaty benefits are
largely in our favor. In the inter-
change of commodities, the profits
from transportation come wholly to
the United States" 1t is hopeful
sign that one of the very best papers
on the Coast has deserted the howl
ing pack of umeasoning opponents
of the treaty.

delay of the streams, from spreading
no one can guess how widely.
Technical education is depart
ment under the Government of New
South Wales, for which Mr.. Reid,
Minister of Education, has the
credit. Last year the number of
students was over two thousand,
divided principally among the classes
Of applied mechanics, mechanical
drawing, architecture, carpentry,
bricklaying, masonry, freehand draw
ing, geometrical drawing, perspec-
tive drawing, and modelling. Stu
dents are taught the science Of their
trades as well as the practical side.
Hereafter a certificate as an "in
dustrial expert is to be issued to
anyone who has passed through the
classes and followed up his subject
for three years.
There is strong tincture of dem
agoguery in the Advertiser's attacks
upon certain financial and commercial
firms for their action in protecting
their own and their customers inter-
ests, against not only the results of
the Governments failure to admins
ter the Currency Act, but the advan-
tage liable to be taken of them by
other firms on account of that failure.
Let the Government publish las asked
of it, list of those who drained the
Treasury of its meagre supply of
gold, and then our contemporary
may be in position to enlarge its
list of " conspirators' against the
community upon one side and curtail
it upon the other. Also let the res
pective sets of patriots" mentioned
in the discussion give verified state
ments of their disposition of gold,
and the public will see whom have
been guilty of the attempt to corner
the precious metal.
How jokes do travel Here is one
clipped from a New Zealand paper
received by the last steamer! "He
was Dutch barber on coroner's
jury, and after sitting quietly for an
hour during the inquest, arose,
peered into the face of the corpse,
and then, turning to the rest of the
jury, said, "Mein Gott, dot man isll
dead! Let's 60 home" This is a
slightly cooked relation of fact, as
the writer was present at the inquest,
about seven years ago, on the other
side of the globe from New Zealand.
The real remark of the Dutch barber
was, "What is the use of wasting
our time? The man is dead" The
amusing incident got into paper in
the above form, and started like the
Krakatao dust upon the circuit Of
the globe. Here it is now, and il
another seven years it will probably
return well-seasoned and be lega
tender as original wit on the platform
and in the press.

owned by Mr.. William Vale. The
Fire Department was promptly OH
hand, but il was some time before
water was got OH, which gave the
fire a chance to make great headway. |
When water was finally obtained,
there was found TO be an insufficient |
supply. The building in which the
fire originated was only completed
on the ground floor last week, and n
workman was still employed upstairs
when the fire started. Mr.. Richard
son, druggist at Benson, Smith &
Co.'s, occupied the ground floor,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Vale intended
living upstairs. They had moved a
stove in, but not any furniture. The
other new building, makai of this,
was rented to several occupants. On
the ndaka side was Mr.. Thomas
Sorrenson's residence. 1t appears
that Mr.. and Mrs. VALE partook of
their breakfast, and then the latter
cleared away the things, and had
gone into another room. Suddenly
loud scream was heard, which
startled the neighbors, and Mr.. Geo.
Johnson, who was working upstairs,
ran into the room used as kitchen
and saw it was all ablaze near the
stove. Someone gave the alarm of
fire Immediately afterwards. A large
number of willing workers at once
commenced to carry out furniture
and other things from the rooms
below and the adjacent buildings.
Meanwhile the flames were making
rapid headway and the heat was in
tense. Mr.. Sorrensonss fine piano
and his furniture were all got out in
very quick time, and all this while
the roof of the house was on fire and
the flames gradually spreading. Mr..
Sorrenson's house was insured for
$4,000. The roof and one end were
considerably burned. The building
just above it, right at the corner OF
the street, got on fire several times
on the roof, but was put out by
water, and in one instance by pot
full of coffee being thrown on. The
two buildings which are burned were
owned by Mr.. Vale and have only
recently been built. The one nearest
Mr.. Sorrenson's was insured for
81, 800, furniture, 5000. The other
one was also insured for $1,000,
furniture $500. The insurance is
held in the Prussian National Fire
Insurance Company, for which Mr..
H. Riemenschneider is the agent.
Mr.. Vale estimates his loss on the
two buildings at about $4,000. He
owns the land on which they stand.
Mr.. johnson the carpenter also
mourns the loss of quite a number OF
tools. The street, Y. M. c. A. hall
and the yards opposite were all
filled with various articles of furniture
saved. Fire Marshal MCGUIRE wishes
to thank all those who so willingly
assisted him in saving MI. Sorren-
sons property. His Majesty the
King was rendering assistance at the
rear of the building with a number
of his men. About twenty minutes
to ten O. clock the fire was we'll under
control.

THE COAST WANTS RECIPROCITY.

AS intimated in brief paragraph
some days ago, the San Francisco
Bulletin of Jan. 31st contained an
argument, from the California stand
point, for the continuance of recip-
rocity. This deliverance, which in
small type extends over two columns
and a half of the paper, was a rather
agreeable surprise to us, for the last
previous mail to that which brought
it contained the news that the Bal
letin, with all the other dailies OH
the Coast, was hostile to the treaty.
Indeed, it looked as if some ques-
tionable influences had operated upon
nearly all the journals of the Coast,
so concerted was their silly effort to
show that this Kingdom was a pauper
making heavy drafts upon the cha
rity of its great neighbor. The only
paper, probably, that did not excite
surprise by its course was the Chro-
micle, but its assaults upon the
treaty, although the most bitter,
were doubtless the least mischievous;
for, wherever that paper is known,
the public does not find il necessary
to examine the principles upon which
its conduct is based, but is satisfied
with enquiring what selfish interest
or personal spite excites it's fury.
1t was puzzle, the solution of which
could hardly be sought in any facts
creditable to the California press, to
find the latter taking ground opposed
to the interests of their own country,
as the treaty was clearly shown by
the merchants of San Francisco, in
their presentment telegraphed to
Washington, to be no less advan-
tageous to the trade of the Pacific
Coast than to the industrial and
commercial interests of this King
dom. They showed, besides, by a
lucid exposition of the sugar situa-
ton of the whole of the United
States, that the operation Of the
treaty was not injurious to any legi-
innate sugar growing Or refining in
.terests of the country. The fatal
antipathy manifested by Congress to
the proposed treaties with other
countries has been partially explained
as being to some extent due to a
dogged determination of the Demo-
Gratis to oppose all commercial mea-
surss Of the Republican administra-
ton. Notwithstanding such play
ing of dog-in-the-manger by parti-
sans at Washington, and of cutting
off their noses to spite their faces by
the California journalists, we are
still sanguine enough to believe that
the treaty with Hawaii stands in a
better position than those new ones
so summarily disposed of. The facts
cited by the merchants in their
document referred to, and those now
adduced by our San Francisco name
sake, show that the United States
has more reason to be proud of her
trade and shipping supported by the
