John W. Albrittain received last week an
account of sale Of Is hoesheads Of tobacco in
Baltimore BY his agents, Messrs. W. H Moore
/ Co., at prices ranging from $l0 to S3} per
hundred. four hogshesds bringing the highest
figure. The tobacco which brought the highest
figure was of bright color and fns texture and
it is needless to say had been well banded
The seconds of the same tobacco brought $s}.
For his of color tobacco. which went to the
French contractor, he received SIS. 81 and $3}
the latter for the 'seconds." Mr.. Albrittsin
thinks that is u good sale and 50 do We. lie
says the Baltimore market and State inspec-
tions are good enough for him. These figures
prove that tobacco Of good quality, IL we'll
handled and fairly packed. msy still be sold at
sonewha remunerative prices. and ~e publish
the item hoping it will serve TO encourage some
Of our tobacco growers and stimulate them to
iDprsve the quality aud method of handling
their tobacco. The Impression seems to pre-
vail that, 81 small is the quantity Of brig ht
colored tobacco in the Maryland crop Of last

To Go to Camp.

To 60 TO Camp.
There was a large turn out of the Howard
Rifles on Monday afternoon te arrange for the
coming encampment at Frederick Junction on
the l7,h instant, and, as we surmised some
weeks ago, Co. of the First Regiment will be
prepared to uphold its end of the line and the
honor Of Charles county at the gathering Of
the State militia at that time. Those present,
with only two or three exceptions. expressed
their intention and willingness to attend the
camp and our company will leave on next Wed.
nesday morning with full forty men in line
While not quite SO great number as our COM
pany carried to the Hsgerstown camp two
years ago, still, considering the bnsy season
that is now on hand with farmers, of whom our
company is almost entirely composed. and of
the many who have left the county from cur
ranks, we think this is q remarkably geod
showing and We will show up as we'll as any
individual company in the State. We are glad
casien for after the good reputation We have
heretofore made many critical eyes will be up
ON Us to sec how we'll We sastain the laurels
already won, and it now only remains for those
vho fill up the ranks to brace themselves aud
pay strict attention to orders and duty for us
to return from this encampment with as many
deserved encomiums and as much praise rs has
been awarded US on our previous public dis.
plays We have no fear that the men will fail,
but believe and hope that each one will be filled
with the idea that the henor of Charles for
military spirit aud coed training rests upon
his shoulders and that there will be such con-
cert OF action among the men as to make our
showing fully equal to the best. The company
will leave La Plata sta ton by the early morn
ing train on Wednesday next. the 18th, and
will leave Camden Station. Baltimore at 9:45
\. m., the same day, arriving at the camping
grounds at II o'clock. Those members Of the
who do not attend camp i'll be SUBJ
lected to regimental court martial as soon as
camp breaks and the punishment end fines that
may be put upon them by the military court
will be rigidly enforced and collected. We
hope, however, that every member will so ar
range his affairs as to be able to accompany
The company on this trip, the last probably
hat the command will ever make.

Mrs. R. H. Edelsn returned home on Mon-
day evening after an extended absence from
the county. Mrs. Edelen has been spending
most of the time with friends in Washington

to pay in on that day the shares already SUBJ

Wheat threshing has been general in Nenje-
mny for a week past and the reports Of the
yield are very gratifying after the many seri-
ous drawbacks the crop suffered before harvest
ing. 1t is far beyond the expectation of the
growers and a full crop is looked for ia that
section. We trust the same may be true of
other sections of our county.

EDUCATION IN NEW YORK.

There is doubtless need enough in New York of improvement in educational regula- tions, but an attempt which is being made in that direction doesn't seem wholly wise A bill which has passed the assembly and is now pending in the senate compels children between eleven and sixteen years of age, not regularly engaged in any useful employment or service, to attend a public or private school or receive instruction at home ''dur- ing all the time that public schools in the city or district of their residence are in ses- sion." An objection to this provision is that it would require ali kindergartens and private open during the period that the public schools are in session. The act also requires an at tendance of fourteen consecutive weeks. It is pointed out that the word fconsecutive" inscribed in this act, if strictly enforced, would only be complied with by the most robust children, and an attendance at school for ten weeks, with an absence of one week through sickness, would compel the child to begin over again, in order to make the "four- teen consecutive weeks" Hence, a child might we'll attend for forty weeks during the year, but not at any time for fourteen con secutive weeks" The act also provides that no child between the ages of eleven and four teen shall be employed without certificate from the public school authorities stating that such child is qualified for employment through having complied with the act.
 The proposed act further makes it compul- sory for children who are taught at home to be instructed "by teacher duly qualified under the laws of this State, or approved by school commissioner or by superintendent of schools" Consequently, parents who are perfectly qualified to teach children, psrticu- larly the young and delicate, would be pre- oluded from doing so, and the choice of teachers would be limited to class who must find favor or approval from a public school commissioner. The act would com- pei the parent or guardian, or any member ot the family teaching the child. to obtain 8 license from the State or to be approved by g school commissioner or superintendent of schools.
 It is said that this bill is likely to become law. But it hardly seems possible that even the New York legislature would make such g law
