—lt is really wonderful how creduloussome farmers are. The reason is, that most

farmers are honest men, and being so them-selves, naturally conclude that all othermen are equally so. Every now and thenwe hear of some one of them being defrau-ded by tricksters. The latest instance we

have heard of is that of John Rhoads, a

farmer ofCardova, Talbot county, Md.. whohas been fleeced out of £ISOO by three confi-dence men, who played on him an old andsimple trick. List Monday week the threemen arrived at Cardova, and, putting up atthe hotel, sought Mr. Rhoads and stated thatthey desired to purchase some property.

He was anxious to sell,;and a price was soonfixed, the payment to be in cash. Thequestion of ability to give a clear title beingraised by one of the men, who would nottake Mr. Rhoads’ word, they suggested thathe put SISOO against the same amount ontheir part, as a guarantee of good faith.That was the price of the land. The moneywas to be locked in a tin box and left withMr. Rhoads. The gentleman had to go to

Denton for the cash from the bank, and oneof the men was delighted to go with himand get his part of the money from his sis-ter. Mr. Rhoads drew out SISOO in billsand they dreve home. The money was put

in the box, but just before Mr. Rhoads lock-ed it his attention was drawn away a minute,and one of the men slipped the money fromthe box to his pocket. Mr. Rhoads did not

know it and locked the box. The man left,promising to call the next day for the deed.That evening Mr. Rhoads concluded to peepat the money and unlocking the box andraising the cover discovered—nothing. Hewas in Wilmington Friday conferring withthe police in hope of recovering his money.

The Elktou Cornet Band.

Wo have a ood word to say for the

Elkton Cornet Bind heeanse the mem-bers of it are good fellows personally audgood musicians besides. They have pa-tiently practiced week after week until

they have attained an excellent degreeof proficiency, and we assert that in thequality of their music, aod in variety olselections, they are excelled by none and

equalled by lew country bands. Besides,they have not placed a purely commer-cial value on their services iu this com-munity. but have contributed to the

pleasure ol our citizens time aud timeagaiu iu open air conceits during thesummer without money and withoutprice. Now there are uo rich men in

this baud. They are all working mendepeutleurJoti their daily labor, and theyneed uniforms to present such an appear-

ance ou parade as will do credit to the

town they represent. Now isn’t it a fairstatement to say, that the citizens of the

enjoyment of the concord of sweetsounds they have catered, should recog-nize that they owe just a little debt of

good feeling and obligation to the boys

of the E'.kton Band, aud that the way topay this debt, is to help them purchasethe needed uniform?? We think it is,affd as petitions are in circulationthroughout the town fur this purpose, werespectfully solicit from the cititeus of

this town aud vicinity, their cordial aud

friendly aid.

The congregationwas large and listened attentively to thesermon which was taken from St. Luke’saccount of the parable of the pounds. Mr.Branch feelingly alluded to his pastoratehere and the many expressions of the kind-ness of the people during the first tiifie hewas pastor of a church, and the many

kindlygreetings he has received since whilevisiting them. He has been visiting themembers of bis congregation and will leavefor home on Saturday.

uty would “set them up,” which he did byordering and paying for a half pint of dis-tilled corn juice which all partook of to

tneir delight. The deputy then said he was Iglad to meet the gentlemen aud asked their ,names which were cheerfully given audwhich were as carefully noted down Hav-ing since learned his errand to Jackey ’s, 1they are wondering where they can hide jthemselves from Uncle Sam as they know ]he cau get them whenever their services arerequired. •

I>- No Recount for Cecil.Mr. Charles H. Smith. Clerk of the

i ; Census office at Washington, a duplicatejof which was addressed to the Hon.

t Herman Stump, iu which Mr Hyde stales

a the grounds upon w hich the Departmentdeclines to order a remuneration of any

. of the districts of this county :

n Department of the Interior, j

Census Office. >

Washington, October 13, I8i)0. )Dear Sir-—With regard to your request

s for are enumeration ol Cecil county, Md.,I beg to inform you that after giving the

, matter the most careful consideration, It have come to the couclusiou that the

office would not be justified iu ordering arecount merely ou the strength of the

. evideuco before it. It has always taken

r the ground, and I think with unquestion-I able propriety, that, iu view of the univ-

ersal tendency to overestimate populatiou, mere dissatisfaction with the result

* of an enumeration on the part of anyparticular community is no evidence that

i such enumeration was imperfectly taken, and although taking the country through

out, uiuely-flve per cent, of persons bolieviug themselves to have been omitted,

i prove ou investigation to have been properly enumerated, no very strong casecau be made out for a re enumeration,

, unless there is absolute proof of asufficient number of of omissions to d>scredit the entire enumeration. The cen-sus presupposes a oertian percentage oferror, but the office confidently maintainsthat the omissions are, as a rule, fully

, offset by the duplications that will inevi-tably occur. Your appeal for are enum-eration of Cecil county is based upou theregistration, the vote cast and the numberof children iu attendance upon the publicschools, which, although worthy of allproper consideration, cannot be regardedas infallible criteria ol population iu con-sequence of the varying ratio which theyare all liable to bear to the number of in-habitants. The number of registered voters shows an increase in eveiy districtin the county, yet at the last presidential :election, four of tha nine districts cast a

smaller vote than at the presidential elec-tion of Even iu the Second Elec ,lion District, Chesapeake City, where itis admitted that there has been a con-siderable falling off in population, therehas been an increase of 18.5 per cent iuthe number ol registered votes since 1882.The ratio borne by the number of actualvoters to the number of names ou theregister is not only found to vary in diff-erent years iu the case of each individualdistrict, but to vary very considerablybetween the different disti lets at any oneelection. In short, the amount of carebestowed upon the register, especially iuthe elimination of the names of deceasedpersons, together with the more or lessfluctuating interest iu public affairs ex-hibited by given cotr-nittees accordingto the degree to which the question of 'the day concern them, are far too uncer- 1tain factors to be relied opon iu a matter Iof this ktud; while, as regards the num-ber of children in attendance upon the ipublic schools, there may be, as thereundoubtedly should be, an incensing ap-preciation of the advantages ol educa- 'tiou, sufficient to account for the increasein the number enrolled. With regard to 'the charge that Mr. Thomas P. Joues, (enumerator in the Ceeilton district, hadnot sufficient time allowed him lor thecompletion of his work, lam informed 1that Mr. .Jones states alter wailing a few 'days for an extension of time, he took it 1upon hitnsell to continue the work, not- 1withstanding the expiration of the period <allowed by law. It was not until the -middle of July that he -transmitted his tschedule to Supervisor Owens, whereasthe work was presumed to have beenbrought to an end on June3o. Mr. Wm.Coale, enumerator for Uisiog Sun dis- 'triot, who is charged with being physic- 'ally incapable of performing the duties iassigned to him, proved to be a strongand active old gentleman, acquainted ,with the people throughout almost hisentire district, and far more likely to ‘make a stictly accurate census than manyyounger men who might have been selec-ed for the work. The euumators of Cecil |county were all residents of the county; sthey were paid by results; they had all ;the time necessary to make a completeand correct enumeration, and there is no *reason why they should not have done 1the good work lor which this office gives 1them credit. The integrity of the June Ienumeration has not, in the opinion of sthis office, been successfully assailed, and ias was recently declared by the Secretaryof the Interior, to re enumerate a distriot iu the absence of serious disorep in- fcies would be a inanifect injustice to 8the country. It is the desire of this office Ithat the census should be as complete gand accurate as it can be made w ith the flmachinery at its disposal, and while, as aalready stated, I cannot consent to orderare enumeration of Cecil county on the 'evidence before mo. I will have addedto the schedules the name of any person 1who was a resident in county iu June last 'Jbut was not enumerated. j

Yours, very respectfully. „A. 11. Childs,

Acting Superintendent of Census. .

No doubthe founded his opinion of our apparentprosperity upon observations made duringflying visits to it.

The agitation of the subject of the de-crease of population iu Cecil county has ledmany old inhabitants to put ou their“studying caps,” and the result has beenan arrival at the almost universal opinionthat Cecil county has lost largely especiallyin the upper section within the last fiveyears.

HIS FIRST CHKW.

And lie Had Knuiigh ol (lie Weed to LastHim a Idle Time,

The boy said it was a peculiar kind oftobacco, and was known as molasses to-bacco, because it was so sweet. Theother boys did not ask how he came toknow its name or where bo got it—boysnever ask anything that it would be wellfor them to kuow—-but they accepted histheory aud his further statement that itwas of a milduess singularly adapted tolearners without misgiving. The boywas himself chewing vigorously on alarge quid, and launching the juice fromhis lips, right and left, like a grown per-son, aud my boy took as laige a bite ashis benefactor bade him. lie found it assweet as he had been told it was, and heacknowledged the aptness of its name ofmolaisss tobacco. It seemed to him agoldou opportunity to acquire a noblehabit on easy terras. He let the quidrest iu bis cheek, as he had seen men do,when he was not ciushiug it between bisteeth, aud for some moments he poledhis plank up and down the canal boatwith a sense of triumph that nothingmarred.

Tneu all of a sudden he began to feel

pale. The boat seemed to be going roundaud the sky wheeling overhead. Thesun was dodging about very strangely.Drops of sweat burst from the boy’sforehead; he let go his pole aud said thatbethought he would go home. Thefellow who gave li.m the tobacco beganto laugh and the otin r IcJlows to mock,but my boy did not mind them. Somehow, he did not know how, he got out ofthe canal boat and started homeward,but at every step the ground rose as high

as ids knees before him, and then, w henhe got his loot high enough and beganto put it down the ground was not there,lie was deathly, sick, as ho reeled andstaggered on, aud when ne readied homeand showed himself, white aud haggaid,to his frightened mother, he had scarcelystrength enough to gasp out a confessionof his attempt to retrieve the familyhonor by learning to chew tobacco. Inanother moment nature came to his re-lief, and then he fell into a deep sleep,which lasted the whole afternoon, so thatit seemed to him the next day when hewoke up, he was glad to find himselfalive, if not so very liv. iy.

Perhaps ho had sw.ili iwed some of thepoisonous juice ol the tobacco, perhapsit had acted upon his brain without that.His father made no very close inquiryinto the facts, and he did not forbid himtne use of tobacco. It was not necess-ary; in that one little experience he hadenough for a whole lifetime. It showsthat alter all a boy it not so hard to satisfyiu everything.— Harper's Young People.
