Messrs. Editors The Britan's Neck

at the home of Mr.. w. s. Davis and effec-
ted a permanent organization. by electing
!. Thomas Abel, president, Fl. NJ. II.
Yates, secretary, andJ G. Cryer, treasurer,
to serve for one year. As this was our
first regular meeting we had no special
topic for discussion. Our next meeting
will be held at the home Of Mr. George FL.
Payne ON the End Saturday of June. The
subjects for discussion will be the most
practical, safe and cheapest method ofsav-
ing the wheat crop from the reaping to the
threshing; also the comparative cost of ma
nuring, planting and saving an acre of to-
hacco and potatoes; the probable yield per
acre in bushels and pounds. Also, win it
improve the land most TO NOW the clover,
feed it to stock and return the manure 10
the land or trrn the clover down. Per-
sons interested in farming outside the Club
are invited to attend the meeting and give
their views upon the above subjects.
After partaking of refreshments, served
by our kind hostess, in the way of wines,
cake and lemonade, we were invited TO
take stroll over the farm By our jovial host
and were delighted at the general appear
ance Of things, particularly his beautiful
orchards, his fine, sleek cows, hogs, &c, all
OF which show unremitting care and atten-
ton.
On our return to the house we were in
vited to peep at the dairy, and there we
could see the result of the care and asten-
ton to the cows in the shape of large and
beautiful rolls Of butter Of the richest coll

From oar Regular Correspondent
Mr.. Stephen @. Goodrich, undertaken at

Of fine caskets for adults and children, and

The quarterly report of Willie Lee Clarke
student Of Georgetown College, shows
that he is utilizing his time in profitable
manner. The young man who believes
that knowledge is worth possessing, and is
willing to apply his energies, has much to
encourage him.
The cold wave of the past week sent the
mercury down TO 500, and fires were COM
Portable at noon several consecutive days.

HORSE IN A PARLoR.
Great was the surprise TO the young folks
who were attending ''sociable" in Tick
Neck few nights ago when horse, with
the utmost indifference, walked into the
parlor in which they were assembled. No
doubt some damage would have been done
by the animal, which after its ingress be-
came frightened, but Mr.. r. Kearney For
rest succeeded in opening back door, and
the unwelcome guest made its egress to the
delight of all present.
DIR. Blakiston, dentist and physician, has
located at Old st. Inigo's.
Heavy rains frequently visit this section,
and rainbows, the token Of Gods covenant
with Noah and his descendants, are ex-
ceedingly beautiful. The seven colors can
be seen by closely observing the bow in its
consummate magnificence, but Of course
not so distinctly as with the spectroscope.

The Confederate Dead.
Messrs. Editors 1T is proposed to con-
tinue the good work, happily begun last
year, of decorating the Confederate Monu-
ment at Point Lookout. Col. John F.
Dent has been invited TO deliver the ad
dress and II is to be hoped that it will suit
his convenience to do so.
Monday, June 10, has been selected for
the ceremony, the address to be delivered
at p. m.
The condition of the lot is not such as il
should be, and unless some active meas
ures be resorted to at an early date, look
ing to its proper care and maintenance, its
condition will be discreditable to our peo-
pie.
It has been suggested that the care Of
the Monument lot might safely be placed
in the charge of Memorial Association
similar to those existing in different Sec
tons where such monuments have been
erected. Such an Association, consisting
for the main part Of the good ladies of our
county, it seems to me, might, without en-
failing very much of labor or responsibility
upon anyone individual. be an effective
means for the end desired.
When il is remembered that the remains
of more than three thousand of the Con-
federate dead lie buried there and that
their lives were given in defense of a cause
that with singular unanimity was espoused
by the people of our country, and when
we reflect that upon us has devolved the
sacred duty of caring for their last resting
place upon earth, already adorned by an
appropriate monument, the gift Of the
State, il must be that there will be a prompt
and hearty response TO this appeal.
No more appropriate time or occasion
could be chosen for the formation Of q
Memorial Association" than the day Sc
lected for the decoration ceremonies. Il Is
then recommended that steps In that direc-
ton be taken Immediately after the Adj
dress to be delivered on the 10th of June
next. Respectfully,
GEORGE THOMAS,
on behalf of the Cemetery Board.

Island Items.

An unusual cool and stormy spell of
weather has prevailed for few days past
The unwelcome and much dreaded visi-
tors of Summer, the mosquitoes, have made
their appearance in profusion and are as
sidiously plying their probe-like instru-
raents.
The building boom has for the last month
or two been raging with intensity in this
section. Messrs. Pearson, Moore and Ches-
ser have erected ornamental additions TO
their dwellings, while many win do like
wise in tho near future. Capt Joseph Poe
viii soon begin the erection OF handsome
residence on his Island Greek property.
MIR. Forester, Of Va, is the contractor.
Messrs. Rude and Hammond have re-
Gently been engaged in boring an artesian
well at the Potomac Hotel. They are clev-
er gentlemen and seem to understand thor
oughly the principles of their trade. Per-
sons having work in their line to do would
consult their interest by corresponding
with these gentlemen.
Mr.. w. S. Crane, the popular agent for
DR.. Talmage's Pathway Of Life," visited
this section lately in the interest ofhis firm.
Mr.. Crane represents reliable house, and
the book, for which he is canvassing, con-
tains matter that will dispel some of the
worst vices of to-day. sour future men
and women of influence and distinction
says Emerson, ''are coming from familie:

us TO literally encourage the circulation o.
good and useful books.

1t is given out that Mr.. S. Chapman

fill the vacancy in the Orphans Court
caused by Judge Milburn's death iftender-

the matter agree that Mr.. Thompson is en-
titled to the place, having made the can
vass and having led his ticket as candi-
date for the position. Mr.. Thompson
would make an excellent Judge.

Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition of the Surplus in the U.

A verdict has finally been reached
in the Cronin case in Chicago. OF
the five indicted for conspiracy to
murder the unfortunate man. Beggs
was acquitted; Kunze was declared
guilty of manslaughter and sentenced
to three years imprisonment; the
verdict of murder was brought in
against Burke, Coughlin, and O'Suli-
van and the sentence of imprison-
ment for life. Burke, who fed to
the Northwest British provinces and
was then arrested, is the one who
hired and furnished the cottage to
which DR.. Cronin was lured. O'Suli-
van, the ice man, made the contract
for professional services under pre-
text of which DR.. Cronin was
brought to the place of his death.
Coughlin, the eX-policeman, engaged
the horse and buggy that were used
on the night of the 4th May. The
only objection to be made to the
findang of the jury in the case of
these men is that the extreme penalty
of the law is not to follow their just
conviction of the crime of murder.
