The Teachers Still at Work-The Assist.
ant School Teachers Association of Baltimore
County held public meeting at Morrel Park,
18th district, on Monday night. A delegation
of over 30 teachers was present from different
sections of the county. Miss Mary g. Logue,
president Of the association, introduced Rev.
DIR. Andrew B. Wood, of Highlandtown, who
spoke of the ridiculously low salaries paid the
teachers throughout the county. He compared
the conditions with those in the city and .poin-
ted out that despite the fact the city is in debt it
is paying better salaries than the county, which
has no debt. Mr.. William a. Lawrence poin-
ted out that some assistant teachers in the
county are receiving less than 85 cents . day
and that when one is compelled to lose day
she must pay substitute teacher 81 80 or
nearly twice as much as she herself would re-
ceive for the same service. Mr.. Carville D..
Benson spoke of the work of the teacher, her
burden of educating the coming generation, the
cares and strife OF the position and concluded
by severely criticising the scale of salaries now
paid in the county.
Others who addressed the meeting we're Mr..
William McCallister, Mr.. Henry Pielert, of

Melvale and Mt. Washington N. @. r.
Rive residents of Melvale are wondering
why Uncle Sam cannot give us better mail
facilities. There is one carrier who starts from
Roland Park at o'clock. arriving at Melvale
anywhere from 10 to IL o'clock, sometimes
with load enough for two men. Then to
dozen or more houses, some half mile apart
sometimes being unable to visit all the houses,
and get back to Roland Park on time and this
OF foot through bad weather and good, heat
or cold. Then this same carrier goes over the
same route in the afternoon, travelling each
day about IL miles. 1t seems unjust that we
should be compelled to stand this inconveni-
ence, where most of the modern conveniences
are available. We have telephones, telegraph,
electricity, steam heat, &C., and yet poor mail
facilities. Melvale is situated within mile of
Baltimore city and yet the mails are more
regular and convenient in the upper districts
of the county.

! of the old dairy of Mr.. T. V. Richardson and
| the robbery of his home on Thursday night
last is the subject of general comment in this
neighborhood, as no one can feel safe II such
an outrage is permitted to go unpunished; or
rather the scoundrel who perpetrated the act
cannot be brought to justice. The plan was
well laid, but Mrs. Richardson, who was
reading in the library and was at the time The
only member of the family mp and heard the
noise of placing the ladder against the side of
the house, went to investigate. When she
opened the kitchen door the building was in a
light blaze. And then, after waking Mr..
Richardson, she aroused the household and the
fight to subdue the fire began and while the
family and neighbors, who had gathered, were
engaged with the fire the robber climbed the
ladder and entered Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson's
bedroom getting 5000 in money and some val
liable jewelry including some family heirlooms
which were priced for their antiquity. The
contents of two bureau drawers were hastily
empiied into sheet taken from the bed.

Rayville, 9th District.-The cold weather
of the past few days has given the farmers
and dairymen, who use considerable quanti-
ties of ice, an opportunity to get supply of
pretty fair quality.
The roads are frozen very hard and are quite
rough, but the chronic grumbler about muddy
roads can take short rest. have frequently
noticed that the ones who complain most about
bad roads are those who use them the least.
Mr.. George A. Galloway fell on the ice at his
home on Saturday last and is now nursing
sprained ankle.
The cattle quarantine has been a very ex-
pensive and very useless proceeding, as there
has not been single case of foot and-mouth
disease in the county, and as the disease is very
contagious and only lasts from ten days to two
weeks, the long continued quarantine seems to
have been solely for the purpose of displaying
q little Agricultural Department red tape.
Rev. s. R. Luding delivered an interesting
sermon on physical. mental and spiritual dis
ease at Pine drove U. B. Church, last Sunday
night. The congregation was small on account
of cold weather and bad roads. This church
has quite large membership, but very few of
the members attend when the weather is cold
and the roads are muddy or rough.
This week the local correspondent will have
bis annual opportunity to get off the time
