STEAMBOAT EHcvEsIoN.--The steamboat
lancaster crowded with ladies' and n
t'"men fon Port DEPOSIT, fIavre-ae-
Gncr, id TorryviIlr, called at Elk
Landing on the ith and took some one
hundred and fifty to two hundred OF slr
ciiizens, including some thirty five mem
bers OF our Lodge OF Odd Fellows. to
ChnGapeake CITY. The boat was detained
great while atthe Landing-the tide be-
ing SO low that she could not be worked
In the channel. The delay married the
pleasure oflhe trip very much. Fine prspa-
tions had been m'de by the Odd Fellows
OF Chesapeake to meet their friends, but
the short time the boat staid spoiled the
arrangements.
HoMlclDE.-We regret that our county
has been this week, again the scene Of
death BY violence. James \. Ilynson OF
Sassafras Neck, killed nan named lohn
Cul'ey on s'ay evening by stab5lug
him with knife. The circumstances, We
understand, were something Ike the tol-
lowing. Some dozen or so men were COL
lected at grog shop kept by Ilynson. \
quarrel arose among them which grew
INTO fight. H"nson inteFiered 10 res
tore quiet, and Culey charged him with
interfering unfairly. This led to scufIle
between them. Hynson snatched up an
unloaded pistol, and Culley ran from him,
the former pursuing. tulley presently
turned around and met Hynson; the lat
ter struck him over the head with the pis-
tol and they again engaged in a scuiile.
Hynson asked Galley to let him go The
latter would not; when the former stabbed
him near the heart, producing death This
is the substance Of the statements we have
heard. Hynson was yesterday committed
10 the county Jail to await his trial.
BalDGE AT bohemia FERRY The citi-
Gems Of the thriving village of Chesapeake
City are determined, they saw, to have a
bridge over the Bohemia at the Ferry.
They argue that it will not only be Of
great importance to them, but that it
will add greatly to the value ofthe lands
Of e'lssafras Neck and Bohemia Manor
that it will, BY building another bridge
brtween FrederickIown and Georgetown,
make direct sold down the peninsula,
aud thus be Of great importance to Elk
ton, and all the Els,rrn Shore.
