1t is stated in the Cumberland, Nd,
Journal that John F. Winslow, ESQ.,,
President of the Mount Savage Iron
Works, has purchased in England ten
thousand tons of heavy II rails for the
Belletontaine and Indiana Railroad Co.,
five thousand tons Of which are to be of
the Compound pattern of Mr.. Winslow's
patent. The Journal adds:
The policy of our Government, in re-
fusing protection to our own manufac.
lures, has thus forced the President of
one of the most splendid rolling mills in
the country to purchase rails in England
of form the patent of which is held
exclusively by himself. With sufficient
protection, these 5000 tons of Com
pound Rail light have been manufac-
tured in superior style at Mount Savage,
in this country. To what extent our
farmers, merchants, mechanics, and ope-
ratives generally, would be bene fitted
thereby, we leave the people of the
country to calculate.
BISHOP DoANE's CAsE.-Bishop Meade,
of Va, Bishop M'Ilvan, OF Ohio and
Bishop Burgess, of Main, are it is said
in this city, inquirlng into the charges
recently submitted to them by certain
laymen of New Jersey against Bishor
Doane. If, on investigation, there shall
be found any reason to suppose Bishop
Doanesguilty of any grave ofenc, mea
sures will probably be taken to bring the
natter before the House of Bishops al
the next general convention. If, how
ever the charges are not well sustained
the matter will be dropped.-Phil. BuI

CouRr.--The April term of Cecil
comfy Court will commence on Monday
next. We shall be most happy to see the
friends OF Tile Wig, from the different
parts Of the county, at our office, which
Is one door above the Post Office, and
nearly opposite to Brown s. Foard's
Store. If anything could increase this
pleasure, it would be when subscriber
brings with him new name to add to
our list. We will not offer any prize
for this, but will assure such as confer
upon us this favor of our warmest
thanks, and determination to serve
them in the future to the best of our
ability.

MI Fools Day-Thursday last, being the
first of April, was consequently "All fools day."
Various tricks of devilment were carried on;
some of them amusing enough, and others deci-
dedly fiat. In Authors Gazette, of last week,
there isa story condemning the practice. We
are not not so progressive in our opinions, as to
wish the custom of hoaxing ones friends on
this day relnquished. There is in the life of
every man who mingles to any extent in the ex-
citement nd business of the world, enough of
care and vexatIon to make him relish SEA little
fun now and then. Care should be taken, in
this as in every thing else, TO do no injury to
the feelings of others,and to pay all proper res
pcct to age.

"YouW get orcr H!''-This is an expression
which we hear almost every moment, as we
pass through the town. 1t is repeated by old
and young, youths and children. No matter
what accident has happened to a citizen, the
first words that salute him upon telling his mis-
fortune, are "Youll get over it!'' Does any
one complain of indispostion, about the only
sympathy he receives, is-"You'll get over it!'
"Bob's crying because he lost his ,op,'' SAYS an
urchln In the street. "He'u get over tp' says
another, and away they go, leaving the poor
fellow to "get over it." as best he can. 1t seems
at first simple, unmeaning phrase, and con-
slant use has made it almost vulgarism. But
second thought convinces us there is a good
deal Of philosophy in the expression, common
place as it is. A right good motto is it for one
TO take through life. Are there difficulties in
the way2 Who cares for difficulties? dash at
them with an eager step, and hearty will, and
"You'll get over thcmH' Docs misfortune
throwa cloud over your prospects7 Be of good
cheer, the cloud will pass, and ssyou'l get over"
your misfortune! Does some crushing weight
OF care come upon you without moments warn
ing, and silence almost the very li.e-throb 2
Never despair! Your energies will recupera,e
the life-current will flow again, and ayou'll
get over il!''

Tile Fortune Telier.-Among the topics OF
"small talk" during the past week, "The For.
tune Teller" has excited quite large share. A
poor, old, decrepid man has been going from
house TO house, offering to tell the fortunes of
one Or all the inmates, at a Eleven pence head.
Dog cheap, thought we, considering Roback
used to do il up at the rate of five and ten dol
lars. And who will doubt, that the revelations
OF this travelling priest of astrology are lutte as
true as Roback's? perhaps little more so The
only point of difference we could see, was, that
one was a lazy scoundrel, who deserved the State
Prison; and the other poor, old cripple, "not
able to dig, and too proud to beg" who hi, upon
fortune telling as means of supplying the ne
ccssitics Of life, during the few reuane wears
of his earthly pilgrimage. But Just now we
think of a beautiful poem of Moore's, entitled
"7he Fortune Teller" part of which we will
quote here.
"Down IN the valley come meet me tonight,
And Pll tell you your fortune truly
As ever twas told, by the new moon S light.
To young maiden, shining as newly.
fiat that hour the heav'ns be not dim,
My science shall call up before you
a male appartion--the image of him
Whose destiny tits to adore you.
Down at your feet, in the pale moonlight,
He'll kneel, with warmth of emotion
An ardour, of which such an innocent sprte
You'd scarcely believe had notion.
What other events and thoughts may arise,
As in destiny's book I've not seen them,
Must only be left to the stars and your eyes
To settle, ere morning, between them.

For CALIFoRNA.-By the letter from
Independence, on our first page, it will
be seen that the writer recommends
that place, as the best starting point for
overland emigrants to California. We
need only add that the writer was for.
merly citizen of this county, and the
information which he gives, in regard
TO this and other matters, may be con-
sidered reliable.

THE AMERICAN FARMER.-The April No.
of this excellent agricultural paper, is upon our
table. Besides the usual amount OF interesting
and useful matter, it contains Memoir ofJoh
8. Skinner, once its editor The writer of the
memoir proposes, that the Farmers testify their
appreciation of Mr.. SINNERS services, by con-
tribn'ing to the support of his widow, who is
left with but little means. The Agriculturists
certainly owe much to Mr.. Skinner, and we
are certain they will unite in any plan by which
they can repay the debt.

Our S'reefs.-During this week, we have OBJ
the surplus mud from the streets. For all this
the pedestrian excursionists from west to east
end, and TO that far famed "creek" are doubtless
very grateful. The project Of pavement has
been talked Of, but we reckon it is not feasible.
Only one side Of our main street is in condition
Tor paving, and the owners Of property, espe-
cally business stands opposite, would not be
likely to agree to that side being paved. But
this need not prevent US from keeping our streets
in order, and indeed we :hink the streets of
Elkton will compare favorably with those Of
other villages.

EXPLOSION AT HURL GATE-Loss of
LJe.-A French engineer, Professor
Mallletert, has been engaged for some
time past, in clearing away the obstruc-
ton to the entrance of New York har-
Dor, commonly known as the Hurl Gate.
A serious accident occurred to the ope-
rators on Friday last, by the premature
explosion of large quantity of powder.
We learn that the cause of the disas-
tier, was one of Mailefert's assistants
handing him wire attached to charge
of 1875 lbs. of powder IN cast iron
canister in the boat, instead OF one at
tached to a line charge, properly located
on the rock. When the signal was CIV
en-, instead of the charge under water
exploding, that in the boat which his as
sstants occupied was discharged by the
galvanic battery. The effect of the ex-
plosion of 1915 lbs. of gunpowder, close
ly packed in an iron cylender, were of
course terrific. The boat containing
Southland and his companions was blown
to atoms, and IFS occupants sent flying
RlSn tnr ouSn tle air. vi one man no
trace has been discovered. Ofanother,
a headless, armless, legless trunk was
picked up by row boat and taken to
Stevens Point.
Mons. Maillefert and his brother.in-
law were in one of Francis metallic
llfe-boats, and SO great was the shock,
that notwithstanding they were at the
distance of forty yards at least from
where the other boat was, they were
both blown some forty feet into the air,
and come down in the river. Both
were injured. NJ. Mailefert's shout
der, it is said is broken, and he is much
burned and bruised. His life, however
is not dsspaired of. His brother-in'
laws injuries are comparatively slight
HENRY CLAY first took his seat in the
Senate in December, 1906, nearly four
SIX years ago. There were then but sew
enteen states in the Union land, of the
then thirty-four Senators, it is believed
that Mr.. Clay alone survives.
