X cw |,iw as to Trailers’ Licenses.

The new law regulating the granting ofState and other licenses by the Clerks ofthe Circuit Courts provides as follows:

"The Clerks shall grant to everypersonwho shall apply for same such license as

he may desire and be authorized to obtain,

properly filled up aud signed by them,but they are expressly forbidden to ante-date any license or issue to any person or

persons any license other than in themonth of which the same is legally obtain-able, under a penalty of #SO for each audevery offense, said penalty to be recoveredby an action at law upon his official bond. ’

“Every Clerk shall lay before everygrand jury attending his court a list of alllicenses granted by him for two years priorto the meeting of such grand jury, settingforth in full the names of the partieslicensed, the date of issue, the amount ofcapital stock, if any, the expiration andthe value of such licenses,” under penaltyas above.

It is stated that a great many merchantsneglect to secure licenses promptly on or

before May Ist, and all such would beliable to indictment for this neglect if thegrand juries should strictly enforce thelaw where lapses should be discovered.The law is, therefore, interesting to themerchants as well as the clerks of the dif-ferent courts/

Items from St. Raul's Parish.

Although some time has elapsed since jLent, it was well observed at St. Paul’sand faithfully attended by the Rector of

the Parish, Rev. M. C. Stryker, holding

services regularly three times a week at

St. Paul’s and as often at St. Mary’s, notwithstanding the often dark, dismal daysand inclement weather. IN e were present

to hear some of those addresses, and es-pecially those on envy and covetousness,which were good and instructive. Holyweek services were still more impressive,and the celebration of the Lord’s Supper,in the calm of early morning, made itdoubly so.

Easter morn rose charmingly, withbright sunshine, and the edifice was filledwith a crowded and appreciative congre-gation. Beautiful and flagrant were thefloral decorations in the font and chancelwith Calla Lilies abloom, in long stems

and otherwise; growing and potted plantswere grouped at interva's and helpedadorn the platform, making a pleasing ef-fect. The subject of the sermon was thecrucifixion and resurrection of our Sav-iour. on just such a lovely Easter morn—-when all nature is springing into new lifeand beauty, typical of casting off the robesof sin and darkness aud being clothed inChristian brightness and grandeur. Therewas a celebration of the Holy Communionat the close, the rector and organist sang

an anthem, and the music renderedthroughout was appropriate.

Monday morn there was morning prayeraud the usual custom thereafter of elect-ing officers, and at 4 p. m. the rector addressed the Sunday school, which was at-tended by sixty or more scholars, many ofthe teachers and members of the Ladies'Guild, who, at the close of the Sundayschool exercises, distributed an indiscrim-inate variety of cake, colored Easter eggsand other dainties. Meanwhile, the coun-tenances of the children were irradiatedwith smiles, showing that their faces werean index to their hearts, and all dispersedto commemorate the happy event upon asimilar occasion.

But almost the crowning feature wasstill later—the 13th—when our nobleBishop made one of his annual visits, forthe purpose of confirmation, and againour Church was nearly filled, to listen tothe most excellent discourse delivered byhim from the 20th chapter of St. John andthe 29th verse: “Thomas, because thouhast seen me, thou hast believed; blessedare they that hate not seen, and yet havebelieved.’,

His illustration between those who areready to accept faith as the foundation ofreadily believing, and those who are doubt-ing. as anything that is a matter of faithand not of sight, is difficult to us, showingthat it is by faith alone that wc must be-lieve that He is—nevertheless, could webut hear his voice as Thomas did, whowould not fall down and worship the Un-seen!

•‘Faith lends its realizing light.The clouds disjKjr.se, the shadows fly,

TIP Invisibleaji>ears in sight.And (rod is seen by mortal eye.”

Our pen is not facile enough to portraythe depth and pathos of this very wonderful theme, which, of all others, seems themost interesting and absorbing, suffice itto say, he held his large audience enchant-ed for a time. The candidates, too, came

in for a share of his eloquence. From theEaster offering was realized almost #2OO.

The Now Catholic Church.

St. Mary's Catholic Church, aroundwhich so many memories both of gladnessand sorrow cling, will in a short time betaken down to make way for a new and,in every respect, more improved building.The old Church has been associated withso many generations of our people, thatits demolition will cause feelings of keenregret. From its altar, words of pietyand warning have been heard by cars now

deaf to life’s turmoils, from its portalshappy brides have passed to join in lifebattles, aud through its crepe drapeddoors have been carried the forms ofloved ones, whose voices arc forever hush-ed in death’s long sleep. Many of thepriests, whose holy missions were zealous-ly executed here, whose memories arc stilldear, have passed to their reward, othershave gone to wider fields of labor, carry-ing with them the prayers of those for

whose good they labored so faithfully.The new Church will be modern in de-

tails, commodious and imposing. Thecontract will be given out in a few days.In style it will be Gothic, having a frontageof 00 feet, on the right front of which willbe a tower rising 50 feet, in which will behung a bell weighing 1,000 pounds, castby MeShane A Co., of Baltimore. Thedepth of the Church will be 119 feet, across six feet high will surmount the roofin the front, from the ground to top of

the cross will be 50 feet. The roof willhave a break in it, and 21 stained glasswindows will be put in the body of theChurch will have 12 large windows oneach side, behind the altar a stained glasswindow will be placed, while above thefront entrance a very large stained glasswindow, flanked by two smaller ones willmake an imposing front The buildingwill be of brick, trimmed w ith Hummells-town brown stone, the cement betweenthe bricks will bg pencilled in black; thesealing capacity of the building will be

for Soo. There are two sacristy rooms12x1(1 feet, one on each side of the altar.There w ill be only one gallery, which w illbe for the organ and choir. The roof is

to be supported by 12 ornamental ironpillars from the floor of the Church, therewill be a basement large enough for twofurnaces. The altars and interior furnish-ings of the Church have not been decid-ed on, the railing in front of the altar willcorrespond in finish to the pews.

The nucleus from w hich funds nearlysufficient to build the new Church wasmade up of bequests by Mrs. Eliza GrahamMiss Agnes and Miss Anne Hill, formermembers of the congregation whose wishesin life, when carried out,will result in a vis-ible testimonial to their pious generosity.

To Father Trinkhaus, the present pas-tor of the Church, all credit is due forthe untiring energy he has displayed inhis efforts to make the hoped for result areality. This is the first held of his priest-ly vocation; he is only twenty-four yearsold, but has already shown qualities andtalents of a high order. His furture, wetrust, w ill be one full of justly meritedrewards in his Holy ministration.—Gw.r'le.

Tobacco Growers anti Buyers.

The meeting held here yesterday of thegrowers and buyers of tobacco was a grati-fying success. It was well attended by

■ the planters of the county and the ad-i die. ses of the buyers were instructive and

■ interesting.The point dwelt upon principally was

, that of the shipments of tobacco. Effortsi were made to impress upon the entire

planting population the fact that they arcinjuring their own business by carelessnessor negligence. Conditions have now

; arisen, it is claimed, in which the utmostattention must be paid to a proper assort-ment in packing, or else the farmers mustand will sustain continued financial loss.

The day has passed when the seller oftobacco will accept hogsheads of the leafwithout first carefully examining the char-acter of its contents. Every packagewhich passes through his hands is alwaysscrutinized with the utmost minuteness,and, according to the grade of the goods,so will be the price it will bring. It is use-less, therefore, for planters to think, evenfor a moment, that they can mix goodswith the upper and lower layers of betterstock, hoping that the entire hogsheadwill thereby pass as of the best quality,despite the fact that there is a preponder-ance of indifferent stuff. On the contrary,the value of the better grade tobacco isalways lost by being mixed with tobaccosof an inferior grade.

It is this very truth which the Baltimoredelegation tried to impress upon thePrince George’s planters, disclosing tothem how vastly they will increase theirprofits by paying due regard to properpacking and shipping. They showed thatwhile inferior tobacco mixed with bettergrades will destroy the maikct value ofthe latter. It was shown that if planterswill assort their tobacco according togrades, will pack each according to its as-sorted grade, will thus ship the best packedto itself, while the second and inferiorgrades are likewise separated, that the netproceeds of the entire stock will far ex-ceed what the present methods bring.

Among those who attended from Balti-more were Messrs. Henry Lauts, HenryWilkens, Henry Ruhstrat, Charles A.Martin, William H. Moore, John Gourley,Charles W. Owens, M. Tilghman Howard,John Talbert and James A. Dawkins.

Among those present were; Win. B.Clagett, Dr. Richard S. Hill, George S. iDove, Col. F. M. Hall, F. W. Hill, I\ m.Berry, George W. Brooke, Upton Brooke,Charles Harbin, A. B.

Farmers’ Clubs.

A joint meeting of the Patuxent Plan-ters’ club aud the Vansville Farmers’ clubwas held on Wednesday, at Stratford, the *home farm of Dr. Richard S. Hill. Thecommittee of inspection, consisting of 1Mr. L. M. Bacon, President of the Senior 1Gunpowper Club, of Baltimore county. 1Mr. S. Powell, President of the Vansville !club, aud Mr. Amoss, a member of theFallstou Club, of Harford county, accom-panied by the members of the clubs andseveral guests made a thorough inspectionof Dr. Hill’s farm. Their report was verycommendatory of the Doctors system andmanagement, he being one of the first inthis vicinity to abandon the old system, byvarying his agricultural products, and be-sides feeding and raising cattle.

The clubs aud guests then were drivento the Club House of the Patuxent Rodand Gun Club, where a most sumptuousdinner was served, the “piece de resis-tance” being planked shad. Those pres-ent there witnessed, many for the firsttime, that most interesting spectacle, ashad bake, and with appetites whetted bythe sight, showed most apprcciately theirenjoyment of the Doctor's hospitality.

The business meeting of the two clubswere then held. President Powell, of theVansville club presiding, and addresseswere made by Mr. Dolfield, of Baltimorecounty, upon the subject of good roads;Mr. Bacon, of Baltimore county, uponFarmers’ Markets; Senator Clagett, uponlbs new tobacco inspection law;Mr. Amoss,upon Farmers’ Institutes, and Mr. F.Snowden Hill, upon the union of farmersto forward they interests.

The clubs then adjourned, the visitorsone and all acknowleding that PrinceGeorge’s county is the garden spot of Ma-ryland, and that Marlboro’ district is therichest little patch in that beautiful gar-

den.Among those present were Mr. George

O. Brown, the aricultural editor of theBaltimore >’, Mr.Louis M. Bacon, Pres-ident of the Senior Gunpowder Club, ofBaltimore county, Mr. Amoss, of tin-Fallston Club, of Harford County, andDirector of the Department of Farmers’Institutes, Mr. Dolfield, of Baltimore
