born and brought up in this community. He
is comparatively young man, has good
education and has followed the profession of
teacher to a considerable extent, but, for
the most part, his occupation has been farm

township for two years. 1sS4-s5, and the adj
mirable manner in which he performed the
duties of that office fully demonstrated his
ability, and the republicans of Van Buren,

Mr.. A. II. CHANDLER has already faithfully
served his county as prosecuting attorney for
four years last past. When he was first
nominated there were those who were not
fully satisfied with his nomination, but the
prompt, fearless and impartial manner in
which he performed the duties of the Office
during the first term removed all such doubts
and led to his unanimous denomination two
years since. His last two years in office have
in no way lessened the esteem in which he is
held by his constituents. Ever ready to
prosecute case that has any merits, he is
equally ready to refuse when prosecution
would be persecution. Strictly honorable
and upright, neither friend nor foe can
swerve him from what he believes to be his
duty. He has been particularly watchful of
the financial interests of the county, making
no unnecessary costs for the people to pay.
His four years record as public prosecutor is

The Next wheat CrOp. The Bait

The Next Wheat Crop.,-Ihe Balti-
more Morning Herald of the 29th pli non-
tains reports of the wheat prospect iiom
nearly every county in the State, showing
that the outlook for a large crop is better
than it has been for years. The following
in regard to the crop in this county is fur
nished by the regular correspondent of that
paper at this place:
Montgomery county has for the past
thirty years been noted as one of the finest
wheat-growing counties of Maryland, and
since the general introduction of lime has
vastly improved in this respect. The quality
OF the grain raised in this county is not sur
passed by any county in the State, and it is
much sought after by millers who make
a speciality of fine grades of -four.
Information from all sections of the coun-
ty indicates that the crop this year will be
more than usually large, while the acreage
is much above the average The following
statements are from prominent farmers in
almost every section of the county:
Judge w. Veirs Bouic, one of the most
practical and successful farmers in Rock
| Vile district, says: 81 have In wheat cult
walton this year about 30 acres, which is
looking remarkably promising at this time,
and will probably yield from % to 80
bushels per acre, barring, of course, the many
accidents that are liable to befall this crop.
With the exception of few acres, 1t is on
high, rolling land, and has been but little
injured by heavy spring rains. In addition
TO a large crop of good quality wheat, there
promises to be much more than an average
crop of straw"
On the large wheat farm of Mr.. John H.
Bogley, adjoining that of Judge Bouic, the
crop of rs acres looks very fine and promises
from 25 to 80 bushels per acre.
Mr. S. M. Lyddane, a prominent wheat
raiser Of Rockville district, says: II have
not q very large crop in this year, but that
promises more than average yield. It was

Efforts will be made TO get another appro-

that all one had to do was to sit on rock

School Commissioners.

In compliance with the law of the last
Legislature, the retiring Board of School
Commissioners met on the LIST instant to de-
liver all books, papers, moneys, &c, to the
new Board appointed by the Governor.
just before adjournment Mr. Renshaw
offered the following:
WHEREAS, for a period of more than six
years the association of this Board-whose
duties close with this meeting-has been one
of continuous harmony, we, the remaining
members, who have been re-appointed, de-
sire to express to the Hon. A. B. Davis,
President, our appreciation of his impair
TALLY as presiding officer a wise and judi
cious counselor, a true and devoted friend
to the public schools, and in retiring from
this Board we extend to him our thanks for
his uniform kindness in the past and our
best wishes for his future.
To which Mr. Davis made the following
response:
The resolution which you have so kindly
passed-although highly appreciated by me,
and most cordially reciprocated to you-was
not necessary to assure ME Of your conf
dence and good will. Acts speak louder
than words-lor more than six years OF close
and personal and official intercourse assure
me OF that fact, and shall carry with me in
my retirement the recollection of unbroken
personal and official harmony. With the
law, the public welfare and the oath of Of

minded men, such as you have proved to
be, the instructive sense of right forbid it,
and you know appreciate the sacredness
of the obligation laid upon you. And now
in bidding you farewell, permit me to tender

DEATHS.
Tn Memoriam

DIED, April 14th, 1886, near Boyd's Sta.
ton, Md, in the 9Th year of her age, little
IDA ID. WHITE, oldest child of Joseph IT,
White, Esq.
AS stood by her grave and looked upon
the dear little face of the departed child, |
thought of Him who once stood at the grave
of Lazarus and wept bitter tears in his luv,
ing sympathy for the afflicted ones-thought
of Him, too, as being present Just as truly as
when he stood at the Eastern tomb. | could
not look on the transcendent calm Of that
little countenance without realizing the
presence Of Him who had undoubtedly said
of her, "Suffer her to come unto me"
They told me she had been great sufferer;
that her little eyes had been dimmed with
the tears and her little frame shaken with
the throes Of pain. And yet could hardly
have believed 1t, for, to me, there seemed no
evidence of such sad death for one so
young-so peaceful was the smile that how
cred, like some messenger of comfort to the
living, over the stiffness of that picture of
death-earnest of endless peace and iadeless
joys in the Beautiful House of the Soul.
Three times the shadowy messenger has
knocked at the door of this devoted home and
claimed, each time, a little inmate. Grieve
not, fond parents, for surely God must love
your little ones well, to ask already, for three
whom you tenderly loved and cherished,
and yet whom He must have loved infinitely
more. This pure little flower was not to
boom in this unwholesome cline, crushed
and tortured bYhuman pain. The Father
had kinder-destiny in store for her, and
hence He claimed her for himself, and trans
planted the tender flower in his own beau
tiful garden.
The flower has gone, but its fragrance still

hoods innocence and purity-and for years
to come, aye, for all the years of their earthly
lDilgrimages will that fragrance dwell In the

Sum.Total Of Influence.

No human being can come into this
world without increasing or diminishing
the sum-total Of human happiness, not
only Of the present, but Of every subsc.
qucnt age of humanity. No one can
detach himself from this connection.
There is no sequestered spot ia the uni
verse, no dark niche along the disk of
non-existcnce to which be can retreat
from bis relation 10 others, where he can
withdraw the influence Of his existence
upon the moral destiny Of the world;
everywhere his presence or absence will
be felt; everywhere he will have COM
panions who will be better or worse for
his influence. II is an old saying, and
one of fearful and fathomless import,
that We are forming characters for eter-
nifty. Forming characters /? Whose
our own or others? Both--and in that
momentous fact lies the peril and re-
sponsibility o.. our existence. Who is
sufficient for the thought? Thousands

A Sunday School teacher was telling
her children how the devil goeth about
like roaring lion seeking whom he
may devour, and after the lesson was
through she said that those who wished
could ask questions. At once little
boy spoke up and asked how fast the
devil could run.
Hush, Johnnie" said the teacher;
such questions are very profane."
"Well, | don't care" said Johnnie ;

Why Jews Live so Long.

The New England Medicat Hoathlq
comments very favorably on the pro-
verbal long and healthful lives of the
Jews. DR.. Picard holds that this
superiority is due to their stringent
health laws. The Mosaic. like the
Older Egyptian code, is very stringent
regarding the eating of flesh and other
articles of food. Of the animals ex-
amned, large proportion are always
condemned as unfit for food. People
who eat meat Unfortunately are very
prone to disorders of the blood and of
the kidneys, for meat is composed of
nitrogen, which the kidneys have to re-
move from the blood. and of course
they cannot do this successfully except
by the aid of Warmers safe cure. the
best kidney strengthener. unless it is
temporarily partaken of and only the
very best meat is used. jews also use
alcoholic liquors very sparingly and
thus keep up good digestion, and then
again they are holiday-loving aud
