by Mr.. Samivel Weller ST., TO his hope

If Mr.. Weller ST., had lived in our time

cause to mourn to see how little his ad-
vice is needed. think, myself, that he
was mistaken in his estimate of them in
some respects; to be sure he was right in
one thing-they have such winning
ways about them, that if poor fellow
suffers himself to come within the circle
of their influence, he is IN great danger
of being caught. They know the ad-
van,ages Of the married state and are
anxious that those expressive lines of the
poet should have universal application

the tract of Land owned by the late Dr.
WIN. Sappington, situated in Elk Neck,
Cecil Co., took place on Friday, the 18th
INST; Ohio Scott acting as Trustee. The
whole tract, containing some 1900 acres,
was sold for $l5,050, to Messrs. }. &
&. P. Whitaker of Cecil, and Richard
Green of Hartford. 1t is supposed they
bought it principally for the wood that
is on II. There are several fine fshe-
ries belonging TO the property.
Two wharves belonging to the estate
situated in our town, now occupied by
c. A. Cole, were sold for $4,000, to DR..
John R. Sappinston, they are very
cheap at that price.
The ducks have nearly deserted the
waters Of the Chesapeake. 1t is owing
to the fact that the gunners give them
no time to rest, cunning for them night
and day. Several OF our gunners have
left for the Potomac, where the ducks
are san1 to be abundant. The few that
remain in the chesapeake have become
so cunning that they Will not dart at the

There was a current report yesterday
evening of ali attempt at suicide by a
young lady, II or IS years Of age living
some two or three miles from here, The
facts as near as could be learned from
the different versions of the unhappy af-
far, are these. The young lady had
formed an attachment for young gem
tleman who was a boarder in the family
OF her parents; the attachment was Te.
ciprocal, but opposed by the mother of
the girl. Finding her parent unyicld-
ing in her opposition, self destruction
was determined upon, and during the
temporary absence Of her parents the
girl threw herself into the well, some
thirty feet deep. Her lover, being not
far distant, went to her rescue ard IN
being lowered into the well, the rope
broke, letting him fall some fifteen teet.

hurt from this perlous situation. Both
were finally rescued but the lady it is
