Mr.. EDIToR:-l think the variable

past, exceeds any thing ever noticed.
On Saturday 9th March, we had very
hard rain, accompanied with heavy
thunder and vivid lightning, with occa-
sional showers of hail mixed with snow.
and so dark, that it become necessary to
light lamps in the stores in our neigh
borhood, twice during the day. On
Sunday last 4th inst, the weather be-
came quite cool, and about . O'Clock, it
commenced showing and hailing, which
continued during the balance of the
day, all night, and on Monday, until the
snow was at least three inches deep.
What was most surprising, at intervals
there were heavy thunder and vivid
lightning, which continued during the
afternoon, and in the evening torrents of
rain. Although, SO far advanced in the
spring, their remains considerable snow
in our view, up to this time.
The Susquehanna river continues in
fine rafting order, and the lumber is
coming rapidly to tide water. Both of
the Canals are said to be in good re.
pair, and doing fine business. Moth.

the consideration of the Exemption

nesses, interested in the matter of con.
troversy, and the bill to establish new
system for the relief of insolvent debt
ors, to the 18th inst. A motion to APP

state of the public business, and recon-
mend day for the adjournment OF the

CONGRESSIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE
The most important act Of Congress, du-
ring the past week, has been the passage
in the House of Representatives, of the
resolutions, recognizing the binding eff.
fcacy ofthe compromise; and declaring
the belief, that, the people are deter
mined to abide by, and support the
measure. The Homestead Bill, and al.
so the reconsideration of the act in re.
lat'on to the abolition of flogg,ng in the
navy have been up, but neither were act
ed, up to the time OF our paper going to
press. In the Senate MIR. Clark's In.
PREVENTION resolutions have been the
subject of some discussion. O'Rielv the
telegraph man has asked that his line
OF telegraph to California be protected
by government troops. He asks no as
slstance in its construction. Mr.. Hale
gave notice of his intention, when the
compromise resolution should come up
in the Senate, of making some remarks
upon the Fugitive Slave Law. He also
offered two petitions from Pennsylva.

A CHALLENGE.

NV. EEIToR:-lt will be seen, by
looking into the American Farmer for
April, that J. Pollock Burguyn, one of
the largest wheat growers of the south,
authorizes the Editor to say, that il sew.
EN- others will DO the same, he will be
the eighth to give fifty dollars each, ma
king, together with the amount offered
the Maryland Agricultural Society, the
sum Of five hundred dollars, to be paid
as premium for the best reaper that
may be exhibited next harvest.
Now sir, believing that home-mar.
ket for our breadstuifs is of even more
Importance to the farmer than the best
reaper; and as am somewhat interest
ed in the sale, as we'll as the mos, eco
nomlcal mode of harvesting wheat;
will be one, of five pc rsons, who will
subscribe five hundred dollars for an es.
say or memorable Congress, that will
bring about the repeal of the Free Trade
Tariff of 1916, which is crushing Amer.
lean industry and building up the man
ufacturing interests of Europe partie
larly of England and France. BY the
arrival of every steamer, we get infor-
nation, that business of all kinds was
never better. The factory workmen
making full time, and money is plenty.
During the last few years, our iron and
other manufactures have suffered great
er damage, than, in the same length of
time, since the formation of our govern
ment' Many ofthem have failed; and
the great majority of the others are
merely held together by the hope of
change. Our monied operations are re-
strained by free trade; and, the demand
for specie, to purchase foreign goods,
that ought to be made at home by the
consumers of our breadstutfs, is nearly
equal to the coinage; amount frequent
~ to 100000 per week. And still
it goes Instead ofexporting flour; we
are mo'o importing more wheat from
Camada and Chill, than we are e1puyt-
ing to Earepe, .Asia and .Afraca. In
deed, our own Brandywine is sending
Millcrs and burr-sones to Chill, to make
flour, to come to the United States, in
stead of manufacturing flour for expor-
tation as formerly.

early Spring, OF the modest al bu,us, the first Of

II was found in that pleasant walk over Red
Hill, beyond that silver stream that winds its
silent way along TO mingle It's transparent waters
with those of the briny ocean. He las LETT his
former haunts for buster scenes, hut their recol-
lection will no doubt remain in the midst of care
and toll, for it is not IN the nature of man to
forget carly associations they come up I'M
called amid the hustle Of active life, and infnse
their charms when the dark clouds Of adversely
are around us.
| have ever admired the early flowers tina,
speak the advent of spring, and have seen with
feelings OF emotion, delicate female, with the
hectic flush on her cheek, place the modest VIC
let on her bosom as twin-sistcr, destined soon
TO fade; but emblamatic of renewed bloom in a
happier cline, when the wintry storms of life
have passed away,
The Concert.-We suppose, the lovers of music
! Will enjoy rare treat, at the concert TO be
given on Tuesday night next, by the united
choirs Of the Methodist and Presbyterian
Churches. A concert of sacred music is new
feature in Elkton, and we would think il worth
patronsing, for the sake its influence upon the
tastes OF society. While we cannot coincide
in the remark 81 Goethe, that "we should do our
utmost TO encourage the beautiful, for the useful
will encourage itself;' we think, nevertheless,
that in this country, too little attention is paid
to the cultivation oftaste and refinement. Beauty
and utility are not incongruous elements, as
some imagine, but are capable of being harmo-
nlzed, and taken together THROUGH life. Those
m"nt calculated TO elevate and purify the heart,
will attend the concert Of sacred music.
Hogs.-To be or not 10 be, tina, is the ques-
ton. Whether its nobler in our citizens, 10
suffer these filthy pigs to root and crunt abou,
our streets; smcaring the pailings with insight
ly filth, or, BY single edict, pen them! The
question of Hog Law is engaging the attention
Of some of our citizens at this time. Various
modes, of bringing about the proposed measure,
are in contemplation; some or, in favor O. quiet
ly taking around petition, to be signed BY the
citizens for or against hogs; others propose, to
run hog and anti-hog tickets, at the next cleo
lion for town commissioners. We are not aware
what corporate powers are conferred upon the
Town Commissioners; but we remember dog
law, once passed by this body, which failed, on
account of its illegally.

For The Cecn Wig.
THE DOG TAX.

Mr.. EDIToE:-A.l law for the protec.
ton of sheep has long been wanting in
this county, and the one reported will
probably answer the purpose as we'll as
any that can be framed at present. Sim
liar laws have worked we'll elsewhere.
and there is no doubt, that public opn-
ION in Cecil, is favorable to such a law.
Let the delegates take the responsibility
of passing it, if they are satisfied it will
operate to the general advantage of the
county, and having acted for the best,
let their popularity take its chance.
They will not be likely to receive any
very general expression of opinion in
regard to the law before it is enacted.
Some may object to the application
of tax on dogs, TO the purposes of ed
ucating children; and may refer to the
Law of Moses, wherein the price of a
dog, is said TO be an abomination, not to
be received into the treasury.

Benson & Co. have been exhibiting their car
riascs, with Evcrill's Patent Coupling. We
have examined them closely, and should think
the Patent Coupling very desirable improve

dent in turning. The one we examined, called

all lost. A part, also, of the stock was con-
