The new law regulating the granting of State and other licenses by the Clerks of the Circuit Courts provides as follows: "The Clerks shall grant to every person who 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 the month of which the same is legally obtain- able, under a penalty of #SO for each aud every offense, said penalty to be recovered by an action at law upon his official bond. ’ “Every Clerk shall lay before every grand jury attending his court a list of all licenses granted by him for two years prior to the meeting of such grand jury, setting forth in full the names of the parties licensed, the date of issue, the amount of capital stock, if any, the expiration and the value of such licenses,” under penalty as above. It is stated that a great many merchants neglect to secure licenses promptly on or before May Ist, and all such would be liable to indictment for this neglect if the grand juries should strictly enforce the law where lapses should be discovered. The law is, therefore, interesting to the merchants as well as the clerks of the dif- ferent courts/ Social Events.

Items from St. Raul's Parish. Although some time has elapsed since j Lent, it was well observed at St. Paul’s and 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, not withstanding the often dark, dismal days and 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. Holy week services were still more impressive, and the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, in the calm of early morning, made it doubly so. Easter morn rose charmingly, with bright sunshine, and the edifice was filled with a crowded and appreciative congre- gation. Beautiful and flagrant were the floral decorations in the font and chancel with Calla Lilies abloom, in long stems and otherwise; growing and potted plants were grouped at interva's and helped adorn the platform, making a pleasing ef- fect. The subject of the sermon was the crucifixion and resurrection of our Sav- iour. on just such a lovely Easter morn—- when all nature is springing into new life and beauty, typical of casting off the robes of sin and darkness aud being clothed in Christian brightness and grandeur. There was a celebration of the Holy Communion at the close, the rector and organist sang an anthem, and the music rendered throughout was appropriate. Monday morn there was morning prayer aud the usual custom thereafter of elect- ing officers, and at 4 p. m. the rector ad dressed the Sunday school, which was at- tended by sixty or more scholars, many of the teachers and members of the Ladies' Guild, who, at the close of the Sunday school exercises, distributed an indiscrim- inate variety of cake, colored Easter eggs and other dainties. Meanwhile, the coun- tenances of the children were irradiated with smiles, showing that their faces were an index to their hearts, and all dispersed to commemorate the happy event upon a similar occasion. But almost the crowning feature was still later—the 13th —when our noble Bishop made one of his annual visits, for the purpose of confirmation, and again our Church was nearly filled, to listen to the most excellent discourse delivered by him from the 20th chapter of St. John and the 29th verse: “Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they that hate not seen, and yet have believed.’, His illustration between those who are ready to accept faith as the foundation of readily believing, and those who are doubt- ing. as anything that is a matter of faith and not of sight, is difficult to us, showing that it is by faith alone that wc must be- lieve that He is—nevertheless, could we but hear his voice as Thomas did, who would not fall down and worship the Un- seen! •‘Faith lends its realizing light. The clouds disjKjr.se, the shadows fly, TIP Invisible aji>ears in sight. And (rod is seen by mortal eye.” Our pen is not facile enough to portray the depth and pathos of this very wonder ful theme, which, of all others, seems the most interesting and absorbing, suffice it to say, he held his large audience enchant- ed for a time. The candidates, too, came in for a share of his eloquence. From the Easter offering was realized almost #2OO. One ok the Gcii.ij. The Now Catholic Church. St. Mary's Catholic Church, around which so many memories both of gladness and sorrow cling, will in a short time be taken down to make way for a new and, in every respect, more improved building. The old Church has been associated with so many generations of our people, that its demolition will cause feelings of keen regret. From its altar, words of piety and warning have been heard by cars now deaf to life’s turmoils, from its portals happy brides have passed to join in life battles, aud through its crepe draped doors have been carried the forms of loved ones, whose voices arc forever hush- ed in death’s long sleep. Many of the priests, whose holy missions were zealous- ly executed here, whose memories arc still dear, have passed to their reward, others have 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. The contract will be given out in a few days. In style it will be Gothic, having a frontage of 00 feet, on the right front of which will be a tower rising 50 feet, in which will be hung a bell weighing 1,000 pounds, cast by MeShane A Co., of Baltimore. The depth of the Church will be 119 feet, a cross six feet high will surmount the roof in the front, from the ground to top of the cross will be 50 feet. The roof will have a break in it, and 21 stained glass windows will be put in the body of the Church will have 12 large windows on each side, behind the altar a stained glass window will be placed, while above the front entrance a very large stained glass window, flanked by two smaller ones will make an imposing front The building will be of brick, trimmed w ith Hummells- town brown stone, the cement between the bricks will bg pencilled in black; the sealing capacity of the building will be for Soo. There are two sacristy rooms 12x1(1 feet, one on each side of the altar. There w ill be only one gallery, which w ill be for the organ and choir. The roof is to be supported by 12 ornamental iron pillars from the floor of the Church, there will be a basement large enough for two furnaces. The altars and interior furnish- ings of the Church have not been decid- ed on, the railing in front of the altar will correspond in finish to the pews. The nucleus from w hich funds nearly sufficient to build the new Church was made up of bequests by Mrs. Eliza Graham Miss Agnes and Miss Anne Hill, former members of the congregation whose wishes in 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 for the untiring energy he has displayed in his efforts to make the hoped for result a reality. This is the first held of his priest- ly vocation; he is only twenty-four years old, but has already shown qualities and talents of a high order. His furture, we trust, w ill be one full of justly merited rewards in his Holy ministration.— Gw.r'le. To Our Customers. Salt to put up your fish, now only li7c ■ per sack.

Edlavitch, The Bargain Merchant, Upper Marlboro’, Md Tobacco Growers anti Buyers. The meeting held here yesterday of the growers 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. Efforts i were made to impress upon the entire planting population the fact that they arc injuring their own business by carelessness or negligence. Conditions have now ; arisen, it is claimed, in which the utmost attention must be paid to a proper assort- ment in packing, or else the farmers must and will sustain continued financial loss. The day has passed when the seller of tobacco will accept hogsheads of the leaf without first carefully examining the char- acter of its contents. Every package which passes through his hands is always scrutinized 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, even for a moment, that they can mix goods with the upper and lower layers of better stock, hoping that the entire hogshead will 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 is always lost by being mixed with tobaccos of an inferior grade. It is this very truth which the Baltimore delegation tried to impress upon the Prince George’s planters, disclosing to them how vastly they will increase their profits by paying due regard to proper packing and shipping. They showed that while inferior tobacco mixed with better grades will destroy the maikct value of the latter. It was shown that if planters will assort their tobacco according to grades, will pack each according to its as- sorted grade, will thus ship the best packed to itself, while the second and inferior grades are likewise separated, that the net proceeds of the entire stock will far ex- ceed what the present methods bring. Among those who attended from Balti- more were Messrs. Henry Lauts, Henry Wilkens, 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. i Dove, Col. F. M. Hall, F. W. Hill, I\ m. Berry, George W.

A joint meeting of the Patuxent Plan- ters’ club aud the Vansville Farmers’ club was held on Wednesday, at Stratford, the * home farm of Dr. Richard S. Hill. The committee of inspection, consisting of 1 Mr. L. M. Bacon, President of the Senior 1 Gunpowper Club, of Baltimore county. 1 Mr. S. Powell, President of the Vansville ! club, aud Mr. Amoss, a member of the Fallstou Club, of Harford county, accom- panied by the members of the clubs and several guests made a thorough inspection of Dr. Hill’s farm. Their report was very commendatory of the Doctors system and management, he being one of the first in this vicinity to abandon the old system, by varying his agricultural products, and be- sides feeding and raising cattle. The clubs aud guests then were driven to the Club House of the Patuxent Rod and Gun Club, where a most sumptuous dinner was served, the “piece de resis- tance” being planked shad. Those pres- ent there witnessed, many for the first time, that most interesting spectacle, a shad bake, and with appetites whetted by the sight, showed most apprcciately their enjoyment of the Doctor's hospitality. The business meeting of the two clubs were then held. President Powell, of the Vansville club presiding, and addresses were made by Mr. Dolfield, of Baltimore county, upon the subject of good roads; Mr. Bacon, of Baltimore county, upon Farmers’ Markets; Senator Clagett, upon lbs new tobacco inspection law;Mr. Amoss, upon Farmers’ Institutes, and Mr. F. Snowden Hill, upon the union of farmers to forward they interests. The clubs then adjourned, the visitors one and all acknowleding that Prince George’s county is the garden spot of Ma- ryland, and that Marlboro’ district is the richest little patch in that beautiful gar- den. Among those present were Mr. George O. Brown, the aricultural editor of the Baltimore >’, Mr.Louis M. Bacon, Pres- ident of the Senior Gunpowder Club, of Baltimore county, Mr. Amoss, of tin- Fallston Club, of Harford County, and Director of the Department of Farmers’ Institutes, Mr. Dolfield, of Baltimore . county, Mr. James Owens, of Anne Aruu- _ del county. Senator William B. Clagett, Col. F. M. Hall, Mr. Joseph S.

Hall's s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur- faces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving , the patient strength by building up the i. constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.
