HEALTH OF H. CLAY.-We notice a
paragraph going the rounds Of the
Northern papers, to the EFFECT that our
distinguished fellow-citizen, the revered
Sage Of Ashland, contemplates resign
ing his seat in the Senate of the United
States, owing to the debiitated condi-
tlOn Of his health. We can assure the
numerous friends Of Mr.. Clay through
out the country, that all such announce
meats, to say the least of them, are
premature. Mr.. Clay's health is gra-
dually improving, and cough that he
has found troublesome through the
summer has nearly left him. There is
now 10 reason for surprising that Mr..
Clay will not be at Washington at the
organization of Congress. His own
opinion, as well as that of his friends,
Is, that he will enjoy full as good health
at the metropolis as at home. The
country may therefore feel confident of
reaping the advantages of his expert
ence and wise counSelS during the ap-
preaching session of Congress- Louis

THE CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE CANAL
This canal was blocked up with ice on We'd
nesday, and on that day some thirty or forty YES
sells were there, detained by the freeze. The
gigantic new steam pump for feeding the canal,
which, at its trial some time ago, was broken in
some part Of its machinery, was to be started
again on Thursday.
CHESAPEAKE CIry.-Among the improve
ments contemplated in this rapidly improving
village, we understand, is fine house by the
Canal company, for the chief manager ofthe
work, John r. Price, Esq.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE 4rH DIsTRIcT.-The
lands in this section of the county have been
rapidly enriched during the last few years, and
many valuable impro, ements have been made in
the houses, mills, ~. In the neighbol hood of
Dysarts, Mr.. John Johnson is at present finish
ing fine brick house, and Mr.. Donald is build
ing handsome English cottage.
SCARLET FEvER.-The scarlet fever prevails
to some extent among the children in the upper
part of this county, and has in some instances
proved fatal.
ScARcIrY OF W,ATER.-The springs in this
section of country haze never been rcsuscted
since The drought oithe paSt summer and autumn
Many ofthe wells are dry in various parts of
this county, and the running streams are very
low.
FATAL CAsuALry.-A man named John Tay-
lor, aged about 20 years, who resided three miles
south of Eikton, was killed in shocking man
ner on Monday last. He hal borrowed waron
with two horses from Mrs. Rachel Davis, living
near him, and during the day, the horses with
the wagon, returned to her house, with Mr..
Taylor fastened in the gears, his head hanging
near the heels Of one of the horses and life cx-
tinct. His skull was fractured and his head
sashed and bruised. 1t is supposed that his feet
slipped from the front of the wagon and he fell
between and partially behind the horses, and
that one Of them, known to kick when fright
ened, kicked him 10 death. He was buried in
the M. E. church yard in Elk.on, on Wednesday.
IcE.-The severe cold Of the last few days has
made ice I've to seven inches thick, and our cit
liens are busy filling their ice-houses. The
ponds and creeks were clear as chrysal, and the
ice is of excellent quality.
STovrs.-In this bitter weather it may be
something to those who are suffering with the
coiu. % snow that Messrs. Graham & Aldrdge,
uocse advertisement will be found in The Cecil
Hhi~, Keep an excellent assortment OF stoves of
al hl.:ls and qualities, and at cheap prices.
They have already sold this season from two
hundred and fifty to three hundred.
ERRICsoN STEAMBoAT.-We understand one
of the Ericsson steamboats, is locked up in the
ice near the mouth of Back Creek, abou, four
miles from Chesapeake City.

The AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT has ia

in having expelled from Vienna and the
Austrian territory the correspondent of

truthto be acceptable. He was escort

The power of Prince Schwartzenberg

the gentleman endured the rigor of the
Austrian surveillance at Dresden quite

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION IN SOUTH
CARoLlNA.-A bill has passed one
branch of the South Carolina legislature
and will probably pass the other, which
exempts, in addition to the property
now exempted by law, the dwelling
house and houses appertenant thereto,
together with fifty acres of land, one
horse, twenty-five dollars worth Of pro-
visions, and one negro slave, to be Sc.
lected by the debtor from levy and sale
The provisions of the bill. however, dc
not extend to the inhabitants of town
or city, or to property lying in such, but
to the country exclusively.
