(From our Regular Correspondence
April showers. The process of bud
ding of seeds requires moisture and we
have it in abundance. Soon the earth
will be dressed with the richest vegeta-
ton. Flora has already given us some
of her beauties. Our thanks go out to
the beneficent Creator. Could we WELD
facile pen like Occasional we could ex-
press our gratefulness in suitable words
could give vent to the rapturous SEN
sations of a soul capable of experiencing
the heaven born principles which under
lie virtuous actions, etc.
There can be no mistake, j. e., fear of
misrepresentation in saying that far
mers and truckers are progressing well
with their work. Corn is being planted
and judging from the area being pre-
pared for the reception of this cereal,
st. Inigo's will keep abreast with her
sister districts in this respect.
We are pleased to chronicle the fact
that the morals of our citizens are good.
The minds of our youth are being taught
useful lessons. We have the satisfac-
ton of knowing this. Improvement in
mind and morals are contemporaneous.
Observation and experience convince
the, reflective mind that there is a close
relation between the brain and the
heart. Properly cultivate the former
and the latter will be made capable of
being good. 1t will seek virtue pure in
its essence, which is a beacon to that
better existence beyond the tomb.
Ii Is obvious to us that merchants of
this section did fairly good business
during the holidays, and report has it
that the entertainment which came off
10Th instant for the benefit of st. Igna-
titus Church was pecuniarily and socially
n success.
Report No. 2 has it that several mar
riages will take place in the near future.
We presume that mutual affection is the
basis of the prospective unions. II is not
pleasing to the mind to entertain the
opinion, /. e., to admit the theory which
gives immutability to the affections.
The Catholic and Episcopal Churches
are well attended during divine service.
What consoling thought to sinful men
that within the very shrine of eternal
glory the Great Goldman has gone to
plead for them-that He is conscious of
their needs and touched with their in
firmities. That ministers endeayor to
impress this fact upon the minds of their
respective congregations is not to be
questioned.
Listen! Thanks, the voice of the
whippoorwill is heard is the land. The
woods will soon become the banqueting
hall of migratory birds. Welcome, thrice
welcome are these feathered songsters
from the sunny South.
II is a truth cognizable by ordinary
, faculties that politicians of both parties
are active. We note that Mr.. J. ].
Greenwell is the decided choice of dem
octats, old and young for Clerk of the
Circuit Court. Mr.. Derby Lynch is ia
vorably spoken of for the Legislature.
Samuel L. Raleigh, Esqr., has been
appointed Deputy Game Warden for the
State of Maryland by j. Olney Norris,
Esqr., Game Warden State of Mary
land. Mr.. Ralei gh says that the Game
and Fish laws Of the State viii be strict
ly enforced. Biackbirds, crows and
hawks may be killed with impunity.
Self-willed indiyi duals should take warn
ing. 1.-THE possession of Game or Fish
ont of season is prima facie evidence of
violations of the law and those found in
such. possession VIII be prosecuted"
