We were taken to account in re-
gard to the "no pass" business of the
Cecil County Fair. If the report of
little meanness of the people who
resort to the pass business to take a
whole family in free, is true, it is
time that change be made. No
doubt there will be some offended at
this doing away with the passes, but
we believe it will only be those who
have used this dishonorable way to
enter within the enclosure every
year. Every person who has any
interest will attend and pay their
way honorably.

THE four large cotton mills at
Woodbury., near Baltimore, are
making active arrangements to go
into operation at once, They have
been idle over a year. About 1000
operatives are employed in these
mills. This looks as if the industries
of the country expected better times.
Elsewhere mills and factories are
going into operation, and before
Christmas we believe there will be a
general resumption of business all

RIDGEwAY PARK, just across the

be the scene of vice unrestrained,
where nightly congregate all classes
ofsociety. The Philadelphia "News"
of Tuesday gives an account of a
visit of a minister to that infamous
resort, and he was Mortified to find
such a state of things. Vice runs
mad. Young girls he says can be
seen drinking beer and carousing in

COMPLAINTS are coming in against
the manner in which the Town
Commissioners are grading Main
street, claiming that the sharp
stones injurc horses feet as they
travel over them. How true this is,
we are unable to say, as we neither
own or have we driven horses over
the said street, but from causal OBJ
servations, we certainly think
crushed rock or oyster shells would
be much better material to grade
with, This is merely a suggestion

ever, they will consider the question
