FROM Our Regular Correspondent.
Rain, sleet, frost, snow and tickle
winds are not infrequent visitors
hereabout. Ice seemingly has come
to stay, and dust, well, we haven I
seen any for sometime since fair
Luna full orbed shed her mild beams
the better part of nights.
Oystermen are in buoyant spirits.
They realize from 60 to 40 cents a
bushel, and as the season advances
the prices will enhance.
Recently Captain OF a dredge
boat-Jake Bradshaw is the name
given-put colored man ashore on
st Jerome Greek almost in a nude
condition with feet and hands much
swollen. Mr.. Stephen Bean kindly
cared for the sufferer, and Justice
James Roach has informed the prop
er authorities in Baltimore. 1t is
only when backed by law rigidly en-
forced that the ethics of higher civil
lization can hold hand gainst con
scienceless men. No man, it APP
pears to US, who enjoys the atmos-
phere of civilized community would
treat human being, even if the
coloring matter in the rete mucosum
is black, in the way that the man
Brown was treated. We lay our
pen down for a few moments and
soliloquize. Well, yes, we are as
sured that it is God alone who can
kindle in our souls the fame of love
which shall burn with inextinguish-
able glory, for His honor and man s
welfare.
The Sacred Tree of Life was placed
beyond the reach of man as soon as
moral evil entered into the world,
and God s almighty fiat went forth
that all men must die. A fresh
grave looms up in the distance and
the material part of an estimable
lady is emtombed there. The death
of Mrs. w. 7. West is painful to
chronicle. That she was a good
woman we do not doubt; and those
who knew her well will unite in say
ing that the whole compass of Ian
guage would scarcely afford an ex-
preston, so concise, soappropriate
to her. Yes, her spirit has retired in
to another region, TO mix with be-
ings whose natures are analogous
to her own. Death enters, and
there's no defense; His time there s
none can tell.
Many children, white and colored
attend school. Progress is the law
of the mind, and it is, and of neces-
sity must be, gradual. The mind
by gradual steps must acquire
knowledge, teachers are aware oil
this fact aud their patience is COM
mensurate with the gradual unfold.
ing OF their pupils minds.
Merchants seemingly are doing q
fairly good business, and carpenters
and blacksmiths are kept tolerahly
busy. In saying this much, we do
not wish our ecauainsances TO cata-
logue us with those who play Paul
Pry, i.e., insert our nose into other
peoples business.
Cupid is active, and SO far as we
know young men do not antagonize
one another.
Some thieving is reported Thieves
should be removed from the
body polite TO the place for such
