NAVAL NOTES.
LOCAL NEWS OF THE DAY
Public School Mouth I y Recitations.
As the new public school jear be
gins on Monday next, every parent
and guardian, who take an interest
in the education of their children and
wards, are, no doubt, now busying
themselves in getting them ready to
enter upon their studies by the first
day the schools open. It is of the
greatest importance that every child,
of school age, should be strictly and
promptly in his or her attendance on
the very day and hour that the teach
er raps the school to order. If some
are negligent iu this respect, and do
not make their appearance at school
until after the balance of the classes
have proceeded in their studies, the
inevitable result is, and must be, as a
rule, that the negligent are kept be
hind in their studies, the teachers re
ceive all the blame aud at the end of
year such children are found to be
deficient in their studies, and hence
stand low in their classes. The
cause is not the fault of the teachers
but that of the parents or guardians.
As an ineentire to the children of our
public schools, we would suggest to
our school trustees to adopt the plan
by means of which a special and pub
lic recitation of the studies should be
given by the children on the first of
each and every month during the
scholastic year. This would be ip
the nature of a y?m.st.public examina
tion. Let the trustees also invite a
number of gentlemen and ladies of intel
ligence and education to attend upon
such public recitations and we feel con
confident that such iunovation would,
in the end, result most beneficially,
both to the teachers and the scholars.
Children need and look for some en
couragement, and, if this suggestion
is adopted, the children would look
forward to the approach of the first of
every month with some pride and
pleasure, and it would excite them to
strive to rival one another in their
respective studies.
What Some People Lose. .
Those who are daily readers of the
Evening Capital will bear testi
mony to the varied, yet excellent and
instructive reading matter that it con
tains outside of its local columns. If
any one will but take the pains to ex
amine its inside columns, from day to
day, as our paper is issued, they will
become convinced of this fact. There
are many persons, however, residing
both in Annapolis and the county
wrho, by reason of not being subscrib
ers to the Evening Capital, are not
aware of how much they are losing
in the nature of substantial, intellect
ual aod instructive information, and
all this, too, at a loss to themselves of
only one cent per copy, or six cents a
week or twenty five cents per month.
If any persons who are not at present
subscribers thereto, and who wish to
test the troth of our assertion herein
contained, will send us their names
and address we will cheerfully mail
them the Evining Capital for one
week free of all charges.
The Oyster Law.
There seems to be some conflict of
opinion between oystermen as to the
right construction of the general oys
, ter law passed by the last Legislature,
and there is much uncertainty among
oystermen of the counties, especially
where some of its provisions seem to
conflict with the local laws. Com
mander Waddel has endeavored every
way possible to make the law plain ;
he has on several occasions gotten the
opinion of the Attorney Geneaal on
, certain sections of the law and has
bad a number of copies of the law
printed for the use and benefit of the
oystermen. They certainly should be
j well up on the law of bivalves if no
other, and there is no excuse for vio
lating it

Complaining of Post Office Loungers.
A city correspondent complains of
lounging by young men in front of
our city Post Office, pending and after
the arrival of the mails. The writer
says it is a nuisance, and that pedes
trains cannot pass without hearing
some improper language from the
months of these loungers, and that
ladies have frequently uttered their
complaints against this lounging. If
this be true, the police should look in
to the matter and break up tbe roost.
Evidently those who indulge in this
manner of lounging have not thought
the matter over with themselves
We are sure all that is necessary is to
call Post Master Munroe’s attention
to the complaint.

(tiring for the Painter.
A gentleman, residing on Main st
has suggested a good idea which he
says he believes will take and become
popular all along the liue if put into
immediate operation. That is to have
his window-shutters, dressed up in a
new coat of green paint, and which
have stood the invitations of the ele
ments for the past twenty years and
without the least disturbance from the
painter's brush. No doubt such a
move will have a good effect upon bis
neighbors, and be followed by them.
All that is required is to serve notice
upon our enterprising artist, and
“Ned” Hutton will soon make things
look trig and tott about your resi
dences.
The Fatality Among Severn Horses.
The fatality which broke out
among the horses of some farmers
on North Severn, by which several
were carried off, wo are informed has
all disappeared. The cause of thg
trouble was traced to eating unsound
new oats, which threw the animals
into violent cramps and caused death.
Mr. Duvall, who has lost several
horses, went to Baltimore for a veto*
rinary surgeon, who attributed the
cause of death* to eating of heated
greei>oats, which brought about con*
gestion of the stomach. No more
deaths have occurred since those re
ported in the Capital some davs

Scarcity of Building Lots.
It may seem passing strange, nev
ertheless it is a fact, that there are
very few vacant lots in Annapolis;
that is, so far as desirable localities
are concerned, that would suffice for
the building of private residences.
This fact proves that our city has
grown exceedingly in the past twenty
years. We are told by a gentleman, is
who in search of a small lot of ground
on which to erect a lawyers’ office,
that, thus far, he has been undble to
secure such a lot in any suitable lo
cality in the city, so scarce are eligi
ble building sites.
Schooner Aground.
A schooner bound to Baltimore,
from York River, loaded with lumber
run aground on Greensbury’s Point
bar early yesterday morning. She is
being lightened to-day by a sloop
from Annapolis, and her lumber
brought to this city. The Captain
of the vessel wag asleep at the time
of the accident and the vessal was in
charge of a colored man, who said he
thought he was going into Baltimore
harbor and mistook Greenbnry Point
light for the bodkin light Baltimore.
Rather Tott.
Some of our lady folks have baptis
ed a portion of our city with the
quaint but significant nom de jAume
of “Old Maid’s Corner” where friendly
chats and innocent cajoling are in
dulged in. Its quite the properthing,
you know. Yes, rather tott.
