Mr.. EDIToR:-Our Iron Works cam

water, and the great amount of ice on

The Susquehanna remains about the
same, except the ice must be growing
weaker.
Mr.. D. F. Shore, the Superintendent

fire, with most of its contents. The
scarcity OF water and extreme cold. pre-
vented much from being saved. 1t is

rebuilding Immediately. He is a most

A gentleman in our vicinity bought,

Mr.. EpIToR:-I understand that some orvour

with ''Peter's' communications, on the ground
that they are not Us interesting as formerly. On

do not stir up the folks sufficiently with Il

please stir up them are varnints with a long

it is hard 10 please all tastes, and It is much to
be regretted that some tastes are depraved
that they must always be fed on others faults;
or, else are not satisfied All can say to such
is, thai when deem il necessary TO stir up the
animals, that they be sure to keep out Of the
way, lest the end OF the stick may touch them in
a tender place.

The Railroad Agent at Elkton has tuken upon
himself 10 contradict the report that some one
connected with the road had appropriated the

the city, 10 the exclusion Of the farmers and
others on the route. Perhaps the gentleman
misaprrchended my remarks and thought the
report had some alusoin to him or some one in
Cecil. lfso, assure him it was FAR from my
intention to connect him in any way with it.

the whole line it is well, and OF course must

sci at rest the attempt to bridge the navigable

The principles involved in the two cases are

Mr.. CLAWS HEALrn.-The cores
pendent of the Philadelphia North
American, of Monday, has the follow
ing in regard to this gentleman's health;
1t is a source of peculiar pleasure for
me to be able to say that Mr.. Claws
condition has materially improved with
in the past week.-His cough has subsi-
ded considerably, his strength has revi-
we'd somewhat, and his spirits are more
elastic and cheerful. The dawn of this
spring weather, which has succeeded
the storm, may enable him, when it be-
comes prudent, to seek the refrrshment
OF balmy atmosphere, which he has
been denied SO long.-Whiie there is
life there is hope; and if prayers can
avail, the sage OF Ashland will find con-
ISOLATION, at least, in the universal invo-
cation that his life, which for time has
hung suspended, as it were, by hair,
NAV be still preserved to the country
which he has 50 long and faithfully hon
ored and served.

BRIDGE AT HAyRE DE GRACE.-One
Of the Reporters of The Baltimore Sun,
visited the Sus1uchanna on Monday,
anda!ter referring to the piles of ice,
the temporary rail road, SC, makes the
following remark, which, we believe is
the first time any ofthe city papers have
thought there was any weight in the
reasons given by the citizens of Port
Deposit, why they should not be annu-
ally drowned out Of their houses, and
their property destroycd:
1--WE met at Havre de Grace a num-
h"r of citizens of Port Deposit, and we
found them sensibly alive to the danger
70 be unprecedented when there comes a
break up. The lower part of the village
they think will doubtless be flooded, and
much injury to property is anticipated.
The great matter of conversation APP
psared to be the propriety of allowing
the Railroad Company the privilege Of
failding bridge at Havre de Grace.
As matter of course parties ale divi-
ded-some are for and others against
tire grant; and the reasons of the oppo-
nrnts OF the opponents of the measure
certainly have weight. A very pretty
quarrel all round, we take it, they will
have, when the matter comes before the
Legislature of Maryland"

'sThe sun set, and up rose the yellow moon:
The devil s in the moon for mischle,-''
So one might have thought by her appearance,
and the phenomena with which she was sur
rounded on Tuesday night last: for really some
thing unusual seemed to be brewing overhead.
On each side of her hlghncsS, north and south,
precisely in the ring ola large halo, two bright
objects, larger than herself appeared and re-
manned for hours They had bright tails slrcam-
ing off on the sides opposite the moon; looking
all the world like two great comets, and seemed
TO bear the same relation TO the moon that Saa-
dogs do to the sun; consequently must have been
moon dogs; and were doubtless formed By the
intersection Of two halocS, although when we
saw them, but one was visible at the earth dis
lance.
But il was on terra Grma. more particularly,
that Mr.. Byron thought the Moon melted
mschief--and we are inclined to agree with
him. Many stories Of merry doines On these
bright moonlight nights, come TO us-merry
doings and wild mschicvouS pranks Dash
ahead young iolks-now is your day.
