From 0ur Regular Correspondent
Farmers appear to be progressing toler-
ably well witt their work despite the I'm
favorable weather. Wheat and rye are
growing rapidly, and tobacco beds are
thick with healthy looking plants.
Oystermen are utilizing their brief time
TO the best possible advantage, and nothing
but severe sickness and incessant winds it
seems can divert them from their purpose.
So fer as we are able TO ascertain fruit
has not been injured TO any considerable
extent and strawberries are thriving.
Fish--herrings. alewives, etc.-are being
caught, and are very cheap considering the
demand for them.
Before many days the dogwood (Cornus
Florida) will put forth its beautiful flow-
ers, and then, as the fishermen say. rocks
will bite
Now that the Lenten season has passed
we presume the young folks will resume
their joyous gatherings, and Uncle Ham
will reap harvest Of pennies.
A young man residing near the western
side of St. Jerome's Creek says that he has
about reached the goal. We requested
him to explain the clark saying" and his
reply was in substance as follows: Well,

gift to man, and think, barring all acct
dents, &C., I'll claim such being for a
partner by tie time the bloom appears upon
the early plum, or at least, ere the little
ducks commence 70 chase the chary June
bug.
To-day twenty.four years ago we, in
company with hundreds of Confederates,
were landed at Point Lookout as prisoners
of war, and really we were pitable look

tons just escaped from the graveyard than
ordinary specimens of humanity. Alas
how many of our comrades have answered
the last roll-call? Yes, they are sleeping
the sleep that no reveille can disturb, nor
the poison breath of enemies modest.

The churches of the district were well
attended on Easter Sunday and appropri-

Roads are in fair condition and the own

diIninusion Of the basis, which viii NOT
likely reduce the rate Of taxes this year
EHferpriss.
Having the Clerk Of the Levy Court sor
its authority the above may be regarded a
official. To our already over burdened
taxpayers il Is by no means pleasant read
Ing. The increase in officers accounts
indicates, either the business Of the Courts
u largely increasing or that they meet more
frequently than necessary. TO the latter
opinion many Of our best citizens sub
scribe and 1t has become a subject Of
general talk. When the levy list is pub
hshed our taxpayers should scrutinize II
carefully If the accounts are larger than
they should be, should know the rea-
son why. The law we are told, makes
but few meeting Of the courts obligatory
and the majority Of the meetings are called
az the presiding officers see it, The point
to be examined is, have these officials
abused their discretionary power or have
they only called their courts when necessity
required il. II the latter is found 70 be the
case the increase in their accounts Is Of
course legitimate; If not. it il wrong
When the accounts are footed up an ex-
PLANTATION will be in order and the people
should demand Of their servants an account

TO the lovely character of our friend and

illness was added a death which inspired
us by its example of gentle faith and firm
endurance. The days cfsutfering wrought
in him the perfect work of patience, and
his last weeks on earth were 3 fitting close
10 his Christian life When on yesterday
we consigned his body TO its last resting
place, sorrowing that we should see his
face no more on earth, the Resurrection
Festival, in the light of which we were al

strains that death isswaliowed up Ia victory,
and we were comfDrted by the assurance
that our friend had entered into the "Para-

The supreme court of Pennsylvania has
sustained judgment in the suit Of j. NJ.
Meyer against the Southern Maryland
railroad company, said to be the largest
judgment ever recovered by an individual
through that court. The amount was
$s34, 900, and with interest added now
reaches nearly $25O,OOO. It's claimed that
Col. s. S. Smoot, president of the Southern
Maryland road, became indebted to Meyer
for $4,000, and the company was indebt-
cd 10 Smoot and had given him nominally
100000 of its securities; though the COM
pany still held them in its possession.
Meyer began action to obtain possession of
these securities. Meanwhile Col. Smoot
made an assignment to Col. Darling, the
purpose being, as alleged by Mr.. Meyer,
20 defeat his claim. In 1881 it is asserted
the railroad company cancelled the attached
stocks and bonds, and issued new ones in
their stead. The remaining bondholders
then took action TO have Col. Meyers at
tachmeDt set aside, but the supreme court
ruled against them and sustained the
judgement obtained in the lower court
Washington Star.
