In January 1851 fourteen licences
were granted which, is larger number
than in any one month forthc preceding
ten years. During the last month 7
were granted. This seems to be small
number of marriages for population Of
from Is, 900 TO 10000, but more are mar
ried. The Friends, or Quakcrs, Of
whom there are many in the county,
ito not take out licences, but publish the
banns in their meetings, which makes
licences unnecessary, besides many 90 to
Pennsylvania to be married and thus
avoid buying licenses. Probably about
90 or 100 couple are married in the
county each year.

RELIGIOUS TESTS.
EEMARKs OF JUDGE cMAMDEN:

IN the Maryland state Convention on
the 1th ult., when the subject ofrcli4.
lous tests was under consideration, the
Hon. Judge Chambers expressed himself
in the following terms:
Mr.. Chambers said, reluctant as he
was to obtrude any remarks upon the
House, he could not give silent vote
on this subject. One Of the proposed
amendments, opened a question of the
utmost concern--a question not ncw to
him.
1t would be recollectcd that originally,
no other than one protesting to be- a
Christian, could hold office. Some thirty
years since, while he was a member of
the State Senate, a clamor was raised
against the Constitution, because ii ex-
cIuded Jews. Under pretcncc Of adj
hitting Jews, the attempt MAS made to
a"lnlt inidrlS. it failed, and after a long
struggle, the Constitution was so far
changed, as to admit jew to hold office,
Who would profess his belief in future
state OF rewards and lunShmrnts. 1t
was no Fart OF his purpose now to renew
the discussions in which he, at that time,
participated. y proposition is now be-
fore the chair, which he deeply regretted
to see the learned gentleman from Anne
Arundel, (Mr. Dorsey,) Submit-the di-
rect effect Of which would be, to demol-

For TIE cecil Whir


The Elkton Lyceum is dead. Those
who took an impartial and philosophic
view of the bantlng in lis swaddling
clothes, and were aware Of the circum-
stances under which it struggled into
being, prophcsied its premature death
for the seeds of disease and dissolution
were transmitted to, and rooted deep in
its system. And the prophecy has been
verified. After lingering out a msera le
existence Of six wccks--a period Of in
tense anxiety to its Muc friends, it cx-
PRED on Tuesday night the 25th ult.,
regretted by none. The friends who
stood by when it closed its eyes, shed not
tear; but girding up their loins, quietly
carried out its last mortal remains on
two chips. Tie lote %ecretay.
"Oncc upon Time a couple of lads
in our office started little paper at fifty
cents per year. After publishing two
numbers they let it drop, and published
an o'if~ary Of it. Being waggish fell
lows, they punned upon the word thus:
"Oh! 1U you IRE, Eli Embarrassing it
to those who had paid them in advance.
This little incident was brought to mind
by the above obituary Of the Elkton Lv-
ccnm. Certainly if any Of its members
paid their initiation fee they never re-
cciyed the worth of their money in re.
turn.
We shall take the liberty Of making a
remark or two here, touching the above
deiunct concern. The title E7hton Ly-
ceum was a gross miSnomcr. 1t should
have been called the Rdbid Locotoco
Lyccum. Such it was, and nothing else.
1t was gotten up by some two or three
of the bittrrest partizans of that perslla-
sion, and contained in its Constitution,
this remark lble provision: that all nom
bcrs should be elected by ballots and
that one rote shouM erclude ony opg1i-
can't This provision, as we have been
informed by gentlemen who belonged 10
it, was for our especial benefit; it being
that if we should at any time
be proposed for membership, some one
of the few ninnies who make it virtue
to hate us, would be present and put in
the one rofc. They might have spared
themselves the pains, for it must have
had moro attractions than it ever pos
sesscd TO have been desirable place for
us. Well! it went into operation with
rejoiclngs on the part of the petty
fools who invented the one rote principle
the story it seems ran around the town
no audience ever assembled large
enough to hear a certain "arostate"
lecture, advertised from time to time
no lady ever attended it, although it was
announced again and again, that great
care should be taken to insure their com
fort, and-cvcntually it died, poisoned
to death by It's own vrulcnce, and above,
we have its obituary, written by its late
secretary. 1t had no soul, Or we would
wish it might rest in peace.
We should not wonder if this ''first
rate notice. should gaIvanize it and
make it give few convuIsive jerks, but
ii is dead, essentially dead, and gal,an-
ism couldn't make its nerves twitch
much longer.

\ CntSls in CALFoHN1A.--lt is hintod
that matters Of business in California,
are tending to a crisis, great losses are
sustained on importations, and cargo af-
ter cargo must inevitably be forced into
auction, and sold for what they will
bring. There is an enormous amount
OF goods in the harbor; on January list,
the Chill Flour Company alone had in
bond about 100000 worth of flour al
cost prices in Valparaiso, and that has
doubtless been doubled by subsequent
arrivals, one half Of which must sour in

$500.

Secession cannot be accomplished hut by

PASSAGE OF TIE PoSrAGE BILL.-The
Cheap Postage Bill, debated for some
days past in the Senate, was passed YES
tcrday,-not the Bill as it came from
the House, but the one by Mr.. Rusk.
The most material differences between
Mr.. ku>k's Bill and the House Bill are
Mr.. Rusk's Bill provides three cents
when prepaid, five cents when not pre-
paid, on letters less than half an ounce,
and for any distance exceeding three
thousand miles double these rates. In
stead OF a uniform rate Of one cent ON
newspapers, it provides tariff Of Postage
from five cents to twenty-five cents per
quarter for weekly papers according to
distance; semi-wccklies pay double, tr-
wecklics triple, and dailips five times
these rates. 1t is very doubtful whether
the House will concur in enough of the
provisions of the BIZ, in this shape, to
guarantee its passage. But. &Hn.

many such an episode as this but there are few

Ellen Cross sprang to her feet and cast
piercing glance into the darkness to see if he
was not followed-then sank by the side OF the
bed, moaning and trembling as if the whole
force Of the wild storm without had conferred

sat upright and, drawing the boys head to her
bosom, she whispered, family
a. Is it as feared! Are you alone, my boy!
And he answered:

Cropping with her trembling hand until it
again rested on the head of Ellen, and still
clasping her child to her heart, the widow sank
back in the arms of Mrs. Cross while her lips
murmured blessings so faint and indistnct that
the angels alone could hear them. At last the
lips were motionless the Pickering breath
ceased, and the orphan boy and the widowed
maiden arose and gazed upon the face of the
dead.
Over the very spot where the widows cottage
stood a railroad now passes houses have sprung
up in the solitary places, and the voice OF the
wind in the grand old woods will never again
fill the heart of man or boy with strange memo
ries of the sea, for the axe of the Spectator
has been there, and only here and there patch
of green woodland remains to tell of its former
grandeur.
There is no vestige of the old home OF the
widow and her children remaining, but they
are not quite forgotten. In the village grave

brothers dying wish and sometimes, of winter

enhancing by the contrast the comfort within,

her own boys sit with the morris-board between
them, enlarges on the perils of the sea, and the
evils of running away" and tells how Jim
Farnham never never could forgive himself for
disregarding his mothers wishes.
1t is quite certain that he never forgot it, as
