st. Inigo's Happenings.

Correspondence OF the Beacon.)
The few weeks that we intended
should elapse before appearing again
has heightened into many months,
but as the district is not lacking in
correspondents at present we are
satisfied that our silence has not
been amiss.
Stern winter has passed, and al
though for short time we may have
the disagreeable winds that March
is won't to bring, we see spring in
the distance to encourage US. The
singing of birds and the croaking OF
frogs, never falling reminders that
the joyous season is near at hand,
have already greeted US. In a few
weeks we may gather trailing arbu-
tus, that modest and fragrant little
flower that loves to nestle so closely
to mother earth, in sports unseen
and lonely.
The travelling has much improved
the past week, and farmers have Ia
ken advantage of good opportunity
to make their plant beds.
The penitential serson is passing
rapidly. We have already heard
Laetare: Rejoice. for Easter is
nigh" The devotion Of THE Way
Of the Cross, held at st. MichaeI's
Church. has not been so well attend
ed this year as formerly. owing "a
the unpropitious weather.

To The Honorable, The Judges Of The
Circuit Court for SAINT Mary's County !:
We the Grand Jurors of the State
of Maryland for the body of Saint
Mary's County, sitting during the
March term of this Court A. d. 1902
beg to submit the following report.
We have examined 80 witnesses,
investigated thoroughly all offenses
brought to our knowledge and found
presentments wherever we thought
the evidence would warrant 1t. We
are happy to concur with the previ-
Gus Grand Jury that the percentage
of crimes generally seems largely
on the decrease.
We have examined the Jail and
found that it needs some slight re-
pairs, but conspicuously free of
prisoners. There has been a num-
Der of rumors brought to our notice
OF liquor dealers selling Intoxicating
drinks to persons ON Sunday, and
whilst nearly every one seems TO be
cognizant Of the fact, we. have been
unable to find any one who is will
ing 10 testify against these malici-
Gus and diabolical offenders OF the
law. We know of nothing better
than to appeal to the public trusting
that better sentiment may be Great
ed against this pernicious practice,
knowing full well. that no Law is d
any avail unless the public will de-
termine 70 enforce it.
