We notice that fish, barring those of the
soft filmed snake-like kind, are exceeding |
" scarce. Crabs, soft and hard, are plen- |
tifu and retail cheap per dozen, particui-
arly the latter.
Corn is growing rapidly and its emerald
ike hue is grateful To the eye. Tobacco
presents refreshing appearance after the |
recent gentle showers. Vegetables, such |
as potatoes, onions, and cabbage are fine,
and We believe that prices of same are
within the compass Of reasonable figures.
From some cause not explained TO US,
clover has failed to meet the expectations |
Gf owners. We presume that the cold 7,
weather of the past winter retarded its
growth.
We are requested 10 state that Walter
Wood, J. Dallas Evans, Richard Langley
and w. A. w. Clarke, ex -Confederates are
en- rapport with the movement of Captain
George Thomas and others in organizing a
Society for the benefit Of their class, and
that circumstances permitting they will be
present at the next meeting Of the Society
and join.
4 large number OF priests and scholastics
have arrived at ST. Inigo's Manor, and will
remain several weeks Father Sullivan is
in charge.
Rumor has il that several marriages will
take place in the near future. The parties
who are TO be united by the soft hands of
Hymen represent Smiths creek, Pine, ST.
Inigo's Neck, ST. Jerome's Neck, and the
lower section of downtown. May do
mestic broiIs never occur to mar the future
homes OF our Soung friends.
There is n treat in store for those who
review in their minds eye the land hallow
ed by the footsteps of Him who came 10
call not the good O. but sinners to repen.
lance. Rev. WIN. j. Ennis, s. j., formerly
professor of rhetoric at Georgetown Uni
versity and Chief Editor of the Georgetown
Journal, at present preparing for ordination
at Woodstock College, will give Stereopti-
con views, with lecture, of the Holy Land
for the benefit of the Catholic Churches Of
St Inigo's section and the Pine, July 18th
and 18th instant.
Should the hog cholera keep kindly
away from this section, the coming winter
will find many fine porkers, and butchers
will have much work to do. Early Eupro-
pean navigators found swine in Polynesia
and travel wherever We may within the
district we meet small and large sized
animals of the pachydermata kind indus
triously at work with their noses in search
OF roots, etc. The inhuman practice Of
ornamenting their septa with rings is net
done hereabout.
We have been informed that the school
taught by Miss Rosa Mil5urn closed Goth
ultimo, and that the examination Of pupils
showed marked progress. The pupils were
beautifully treated to ice cream, cake and
other good things. We glad that female
teachers are encouraged. Their mental
power is illustrated in the persons of
Hermans and Sappho, and good taste
and modesty induces US TO admit that they
are mans equal at least in the school room.
Miss Mamie Barnes, of Pennsylvania,
and Mrs. NJ. f. Clarke and daughter, Mrs.
Walton, of Highlandtown, Nd, are visiting
friends of the district.
DIR. James II. Miles is attending tome
very sick patients in Tick Neck. The
doctor, although of green old age is in
buoyant spirits, and he is true deciple Of
the "Coan Sage, him who is entitled the
"Father of Medicine"
Alexander Jones, Esqr., OF the Fish Com
mission, is in charge of the fresh water
raquarium at the Worlds Fair. Mr.. Jones
is allowed $3.50 per day extra of his salary,
which IL is said is a mere trifle towards
defraying ones daily expences, as every
thing in the way of accommodation at the
Fair is at acme figures. Beef steak, bread
aud coffee for one, $3.50, and every thing
e,se ischarged for in proportion.
Mr.. w. I'll. Sherwood, can maker for
the canning factory Of Benville and Com
pany has made $1,000 cans up to date, and
the work goes merrily on. Really the
First district is taking the lead in several
important industries, aud those who wish
TO see their district progressive should feel
proud to know that despite the absence Of
railway facilities its march is not hindered
thereby. Brains and money properly used
are doing much to place it with other sec
tons more favoTably situated. True, We
have communication with Baltimore and
Washington several times week, yet,
steamboat facilities are not TO be paralleled
with that afforded community by the
rapid transit Of railway. The pine and
the oak are singing the Requiem of
fogyism. The banner Of progress is un-
furled, and we note the word OHrdrd in
plain letters interviewer with the warp and
wool of the same. AzxANA.
