South End Valley Correspondence.

Dear Old Register-Thou hast been guilty
of an impertinence. Mind do not say an
impudencel quite a different thing. Once,
House, l interviewed the managing editor OF
the Globe Democrat for the country, my
third was, "What pecuniary consideration,
if any, does Jay Gould pay your paper for
helping Mr.. Hawk's-eye, HoXie or Hog-eye
in his struggle with the Knights of Labor
so caled" His answer, "Don't you think
ah? Isn't that alb rather an impertinent
question:" My reply, mo l think it the
most pertinent of the lott" But you know
there were globes before the discoyorer of
the Robbers Roost and Democrats suppose
among the doges of Venice.
But to my own particular grieveance-you
accuse me or make me accuse myself of hav
ng good APPETITE and a clear conscience at
the close of my last weeks communication.
Now am quite ready to plead guilty, as to
ihe apetite, but I'm not prepared to ac=
knowledge the stupidity OF the other possess
sion for it is the most innocent man or maid
en- who is always scrupulous with worry
ing conscience, or if you like always worry
ing with scrupulous conscience. So do not
endow me with a stolid conscience. And
again (pray REGISTER me farily) that attr..-
butte of dormant conscience was substituted
for my explanation of the error of calling
Daniels (not Danish) mountain by the name
of Lewis who only came to our Valley long
aftec j. C. Berryman's Daniel had lived on
and given his name to that mountain.
Now don't fret if 1 am little over parties
uar, but there was too much OF "much-
ness" in the verse quoted from Moore's
familiar song addressed to his wife Mary.
Lewis did leave us in the lurch with an
elephant on our hands, an elephant that
through the incompetency of his architect
has not been able able to bear castle on its
back-at cost of some $50, 900, what we had
to sell to those good women for thirteen.

PERRYvILLE, May 8, 1889.

Our town election came off on Monday
the 9th inst, and resulted in the election of
Alex. Craig, Thomas Kelley, and Henry
Boyd, an entire new board. The retiring
board was E. Owens, Thomas Kane, and
w. H. Cole, Jr. Mr.. E. Owens who has
served the town for five out of the six years
of its incorporation, positively declined to
serve longer on account of other business
which claimed his attention. There was
more interest taken in the election this year
than formerly on account of one faction
wanting the streets board walked, and the
other opposing it. The boardwalk faction
was victorious, and now where is the money
to come from. One thing we can say that
our town is out of debt, besides we have
some outstanding taxes yet to collect, so
we say go ahead and borrow the money and
give us a board walk. Our taxes now
amount to near $500 per year with our town
steadily improving.
There are two new houses now almost
completed and others will be started in
short time. One of the houses now in course
of erection belongs to John Alexa nder, Mat
thew Alexander being the contractor and
builder. The other belongs to Geo. FIsner,
Dolph Hughes of Havre de Grace being the
contractor and builder.
The ladies of the Presbyterian Church will
hold a fair and festival on the 10Th and 18th
insts. Proceeds to go for the benefit of the
church.
About three weeks ago child of Mr. and
Mrs. JAS. II. Taylor died from pneumonia.
Little Arthur was but years old and al
most idolized by the family. 1t was hard
to think that on Tuesday he was playing in
the yard and on Wednesday he was cold in
death. 1t was sudden blow to the family.
Earle, little year old boy of George
Shvery met with a serious if not fatal ac-
cident on Monday the 9th inst. He with
some other boys was running along on the
freighthouse platform looking at moving
train and not noticing the end of the platform
fell off and hurt his spine very seriously.
Drs. Stump and Smith are in attendance
but do not feel safe to say what the result
will be, but his recovery is doubtful as he
is unconscious from internalinju
LITE.

Edith had been making her home with her
uncle-her mother having died just two
years previous. The Doctor and his wife
were taking much pride in her and they
sadly miss her. The vacant chair" will
serve as a reminder of her no doubt for
years. Much sympathy is expressed.

Death of Rev. j. IL. Johns.

Rev. John Henry Johns died at his
home in Zion on Tuesday about midnight
aged about go years. Mr.. Johns became
pastor of Rock and Zion Presbyterian
Churches in 1859 and continued in that
relation for twenty four years. In the
fall of 1884 he was stricken with paraly-
sis and has been speechless and helpless
since. He appeared TO comprehend what
was going on around him but could not
express his thoughts. He suffered sec
ond attack of paralysis on Tuesday night
and died about an hour later. Mr.. Johus
was native of Baltimore, but came TO
Cecil County when lad and lived for
many years with the Armstrong family
near Rock Church. He was graduate
of Princeton College and Theological
Seminary. His wife, who was daugh
ter of the late Caleb c. Brokaw, survives
him with their only daughter, a young
unmarried lady.
Mr. Johns was an earnest and forcible
preacher and lead an exemplary Chris
tian life.

Teachers Association.

The Teachers Association met in the
usual place of meeting, Port Deposit, on
May 4th at 2 o'clock p. M, with Mr.. F.
S. EverisJ in the chair. Rev. Mr.. Otis
offered a short prayer. The minutes of
the previous meeting were then read and
upon motion of Mr.. Squier, amended So
as to include DR.. J. Ii. Mccullough in
| the vote of thanks passed at the last
meeting. With this addition they were
then approved.
The exercises for the evening opened
with lecture by the Rev. Mr.. Meares on
1.-The Mosaic Account of Creation" The
lecture was an effort to show that modern
scientific Investigations tended rather to
confirm the Mosaic account than to con-
tradict it, and expressed the opinion that
the true construction of the six days of
creation mentioned in Genesis was six
geological periods, and not six natural
days of "a hours each. The lecture was
characterized by breadth and liberality
of view and contained much valuable and
interesting information. 1t was listened
to by the audience with apparent pleas
ure.
The association was then favored with
a quartette by Mrs. Abrahams, Miss Ball
and Messrs Harry Nesbtt and Evans
BrIckley sung to an accompaniment play
ed by Miss Houser. The title of the
quartette was when Moonlight Comes
Again" and rarely has 1t been the pleas
ure of an audience to hear such enchant-
ing music. Those who heard were
charmed and universal sigh met the
close of the performance.
Miss Drusilla St. Clair next recited in
her usual happy style the poem, ''Curfew
Must not Ring Tonight" This was fol-
lowed by an address from Mr.. Henry r.
TorDert of THE CECIL WING, who enter
tanned the association tor the space of an
hour in an address the subject of which
was Education and the Unconscious
Tuition of Teachers" The speaker was
eloquent, his remarks containing many
suggestions which might prove invaluable
if acted on. His estimate of the import
ance of education and the value of the
teachers services is one in which the teach
ers will doubtless agree with him, and
which they will gratefully accept as an
appropriate tribute from so distinguished
a member of the county press.
At the conclusion of the lecture Miss
Emma Brown read humorous selection
called The Inventors Wife," which |
seemed to be greatly enjoyed by the
audience. Mr.. Thomas moved note of
thanks to Mrs. Abrahams, Misses Ball, |
Houser and St. Clair and Messes. Torbert,
Meares, Nesbitt and Buckley which was
unanimously carried.
The meeting was one Of the largest of |
the year, many visitors from the town |
and country being present. The associa-
ton adjourned to meet the first Saturday |
in September. JAMES THOMAS, Jr,,
Secretary.

A sleight of hand entertainment was given
in the schoolhouse Monday evening. AS is
usually the case, very few attended.
Our housewives are all busy cleaning
house and as a matter of course our gentle
men are all grumblins. Not that we mean
to insinuate men never grumble. Oh, no.
We simply mean to say they consider the
cleaning could not 10 on without their semi.
annual opinion of it as long as it lasts.
