Grapes.

The Doctor handed us bunch OF
fine favored grapes that were grown
in the neighborhood of the Brick, and
which proved to be well ripened Cou-
cords. Picking the berries led to lit
tie confab on small fruits. The Doctor
informed US that this was good sec
ton of country for grapes and all other
small fruits. and that the canvassers
for nurseries, have sold large orders to
the farmers. The misfortune is that
farmers, after buying and planting out
good varieties, are apt to neglect them
If the same attention was devoted to
the cultivation of small fruits and ber-
ries that is bestowed on corn and
wheat, those crops would soon prove
very profitable, and more aesthetic taste
would be infused into country life.

Teachers Association.

The Teachers Association of the 6, Z,
and S, districts met on Saturday last,
pursuant to appointment, heretofore
published in the MIDLAND.
Under the head of new business was
the election of officers for the ensuing
year, which resulted as follows Mr.. F.
S. Everist, President; Mr.. S. ]. Tam
many, vice president; Mr.. o. o. Saylor,
secretary. The following executive
committee was elected: Miss H. Louisa
Owens and Mr.. i. S. Quigley from the
sixth district, Mr.. V. H. Watts and Mr..
J. l.. Crothers from the Eighth dist
riot, and Miss Sidney j. Heckart and
Miss Emma Wilson from the seventh
district.
The question, "Would compulsory
system of education be beneficial to
the public schools of Cecil county,
was debated. Rev. Mr.. Conway and Mr..
0. o. Saylor spoke on the affirmative
and Rev. Mr. Squier, Mr.. e. S. Quig.
ICY hHu WI DE- W. 11duIId vi tu0 UeHd.
tive. Upon motion of Mr.. Tammany
the question was postponed until the
next meeting, so that teachers might
have time to prepare for more lengthy
discussion of it.
Miss Owens then asked the teachers
the following question. eff you have
more classes in your school than you
could hear during school hours, what
would you do ? The object of the
question was to make q move toward
having the law relating to the appoint
ment of assistant teachers, modified.
Remarks were made upon it by Messrs.
Tammany, Watts, Hanna, and Saylor.
From the report of the secretary the
meeting would seem not to have been
entirely successful, the main questions
in ar annette, namely. he oranges and
the ''sum of the angles of a polygon"
which were to have been answered,
were turned over to the next meeting
which was appointed for the first Sat-
urlay in October.

Death of DR.. Rowland.

DR.. VIM. B. Rowland died at 10
o'clock A. M.Saturdayin West Phila-
delphia, where he had been taken to |
undergo the oper tion of lithotomy.
The deceased has been in i'll health
for several months, and in this declin.
ing state of health was attacked by
gravel an almost incurablc disease in
aged persons.
DR.. Rowland had been a practicing
physician in the neighborhood where
he was born, for 40 years and was
very popular both as man and ply
stefan, his benevolent nature endear-
ing him to all, and we have never
known him to have an enemy, al
though acquainted intimately with
him from the earliest days of his pro-
fessional life. Last week he was TAX
en- to Philadelphia to undergo the
operation which had become nec-
essary, as no medical skill could pos
sibly prolong his life beyond a few
days. Knowing the uncertainty of
surviving the operation he arranged
all ofhis earthly affairs before leaving
home, and calmly submitted himself
to the ordeal which he doubtless knew
was almost certain death. Drs. D.
Hayes Agnew and White performed
the operation successfully on Friday
but owing to his extreme physical
weakness and his age, "a years, he
did not survive the shock. DR.. Row
land leaves widow and one son, DR..
Samuel Rowland, and two daughters,
Miss Helen, who is at home, and Mrs.
r. G. HopkiLgs, wife of the cashier of
the Cecil National Bank. Mr.. Harvey
Rowland, another we'll known citizen
of Cecil county, is an only brother of
deceased.
The funeral was largely attended,
and services held at the house Rev.
Mr.. Conway of Rockrun Presbyterian
Church, Rev. S A. Gayley of West
Nottingham Church and Rev. Jno.
Squire, officiating. A heavy shower
of rain com menced falling as the coffin
was being conveyed to the hearse,
making it very disagreeable for the
guests while getting to their carriges,
and forming the funeral procession.
The pail bearers were Enoch Nc
Cullough, S. Il. Carson, j. M. Nc.
