New Moon. Beautiful nights. Moist
weather.
Carpenters are saving and driving
nails daily, except Sundays. Dozens of
lambs may be seen. Birds are building
nests. The English sparrow takes the
lead, and the wren follows. Wheat has
an emerald hue. Tobacco beds are up
to the standard, l. G., they ere carefully
prepared, properly sowed, etc.
In the estimation of some of our
neighbors Corbett and men of his ilk are
their beau ideal of men of physical
strength-men who immortaliZe their
names as the winners did in the Corin-
THAN races of old.
We notice that outdoor exercise among
women is becoming fashionable Horse
back riding and, perhaps, in the near
future bicycling will be INDUCED. Good
may come out of it, We are an opti-
mist
We have no societies such rs the
Rechabites, Nazarites, etc, and it gives
Us pleasure TO state that drunkenness is
not often seen down here. No, this
heaven-foreclosing and hell-opening
vice-this beastly use OF intoxicating
liquors il the exception not the rule in
this section of St. Inigo's
Politicians are busily engaged using
that member-the tongue-and we heard
one say the other day that as "birds OF a
feather flock together" he supposed in
asmuch as he would be 4 speaker it be-
hooves him to crystalize his thoughts in
to words and be ready for he.'stump'
wheneYer the campaign begins. We
understand that Mr.. Ed Tennison is the
choice of St. Inigo's republicans for the
Legislature. Johnson Cotton, Esqr., is
the choice of some republicans of the
| district for Senator and of others, for
Register of Wills. He has many friends
white and colored, down here. He is
the coming man for either of the po-
sitions named, provided he urges his
claims, j. e., so far as st. Inigo's district
is concerned. Clubs do not amount to
a cipher say n number of colored voters.
They are the silent and final clinches.
st. Inigo's is an important factor in the
election of candidates. Don't forget
this fact, please
Fish, such as shad, herrings, etc, are
plentiful and cheap withal. Competi-
ton reduces the figures, and poor and
well-tO-do families may crafty their
tastes in fish of different species.
Irving Evans, son of ex-rebel ] Dallas
Evans, is an officer on the steamer John
w. Garrett, which runs from Baltimore
to New York. Paul, Mr. Els eldest son,
is in the Navy.
There was Mass at st. Michaers 9Th
instant. Ministers do all that is within
the compass of their power to get their
respective congregation to love Him
who bore our griefs and carried our
SORROWS"
Martins have made their appearance,
and soon the soothing notes of the orr
ole will be heard.
No talk of the railroad. All specula-
ton as to quick transit has taken depar-
ture from the brains which INDUCED it..
The progress of time may be productive
of an event that will give to unborn
generations flying machines of practical
| utility, and the communication now so
| greatly desired will then be realized.
No sickness of consequence to chroni-
Gle. We want no evidence to prove
that our neighbors including underta-
kers, are perfectly well satisfied. Our
mind does not float in an ocean of I'M
certainty.on this score.
Schools continue to be well attended
by girls and small boys. The collision
of mind with mind makes youth prompt
and self possessed; discriminating and
ludicious. So far as our knowledge
goes, the teachers possess sound sense
they are operative. No chair warmers
No cobblers-on the contrary, skilled
workmen.
Cling, cling. By POUNDS. That was
narrow escape, to be sure. What
momentum.
Say, drivers of ox-carts, wagons, etc
you must clear the track whenever you
hear the peculiar and not inharmonious
sound eminating from bicycles. 1t is q
warning which you should heed, other
wise you'll be knocked into-well, you'll
get hurt. A word to the wise is sufli
cIcnt.

Baltimore to attend the funeral of hi.
