rean artist, who has rooms for a few

o. The Frenchtown Line was run
ming yesterday and the day before, and
will continue, we suppose, until the
Susquehanna is clear of ice.
THE ICE BRInGE.-Passengers crossed
the Susquehanna on the ice yesterday,
without any apparent danger, but freight
is no longer passed over on 1t.
o. The Ledger states, that the busy
scene which the Susquehanna at Havre
de Grace, has presented this winter has
been made the subject of picture,
which will be shortly autographed.
JUDGE CHAMBERs.-We see the name
of Judge Chambers mentioned, as a
probable successor of Judge Heath. No
man in the State is better qualified for
the station.
The Philadelphia Ledger gives it
as an important rumor from New York,
that Mr.. Webster received by the At
laatic On Thursday, dispatches from the
American Minister at Paris, which
rendered necessary his immediate pres
ence at Washington.
D-By an advertisement it will be
seen there will be changes in the arrl-
val of the cars at Elkton on and at Ell
Monday next. The Baltimore mail
will reach here at about two O'Clock in
the afternoon, and the night train for
Philadelphia Will pass at quarter past
nine o'clock.
SUpERvlsoRs.-We see that bill has
been reported in the House of Delegates
for the election of Supervisors in the
several counties ofthe State. We know
nothing OF its provisions, but presume
it will n'akeit duty ofthe County Com
missioners to divide the roads and de.
termine the number of Supervisors
We do not well see any better plan
unless special Road Commissioners
were appointed or elected.
TEMPERANCE WORCESTERSHIRE no.
tice that active temperance movements
are being made in various parts of the
State, and that petitions are being SEN
into the Legislature to pass law similar
to the Maine Law, prohibiting the sale
of spirtuous liquors within the State
except Tor medicinal and mechanical
purposes. When the enormous crime
and wrongs it causes to be perpetuated
the misery it produces, and the costs tt
which it subjects the tax payers, are con
sidered, it seems no wonder that an eff
fort should be made to Danish it from
the State.
The CECIL County BIBLE SOCIETY,"
The Anniversary of the Bible Society

The choirs of the Methodist an
Presbyterian Churches were united Of
the occasion and were assisted by MI
Lancaster, on the organ; the musica
part of the exercises added greatly t
, the pleasure and interest OF THE meet
> ings. Certainly it was music of a hig
degree Of excellence. Mr.. Lancaster
, is an accomplished organist, and we ar
pleased TO learn that the united choir
have determined to give grand con

not fail to be delightful music, and
crowded house to listen tv it.
