DEAR RlChErTs Since the l1ll, lust, We
have had severe winter weather with but lit

rise the thermometer stood at 20 deg this
morning at 80: on the o7th at . clock il
stood 5 degrees below the freezing point. Tc-
day we are enjoying genuine snow storm
the ground is quite covered presenting real

The navigation Of the Susqrehanna by

been full of lnush ice for some "a hours. We
are told that blow Port Deposit yesterday
morning it had nearly closed, ami only with
somc difficulty could the Steamboat make hcl

The miserable condition Of the Old Md. Ca

Lumber to market through this channel. We
cannot see any good reason the legislature
can lave for fostering the interests of this
company, when instead Of the Canal being a
great public accommodation, it is a great nui
sance. The low stage of water for some days
prevents RATS from running by way Of tho
bed of the river from Peach Bottom to It'd,

In days of wore, when our progcnitors used

the rafting of the herring hearse was not UNI
frequent. The months of April and May was
a merry time with the Transfers of adjoining
states in their pcrogrinations after fish: for
sometimes they would take up their abode on
the shore for several days and have a .iubilcnt
elee to themselves. Sometimes procession
would come through our place a mile in
length, from the Pennsylvania farmer with
his Concstcga horses and tremendous wagon
down to the wigwarm forester with his little
OK in the shafts, and goods box for cart
body, reminding one of pils1ina on an annual
visit to the holy places. But alas! what a
change. Shad and hcrrings were then hauled
to the shore in innumcrablc quantities, and
notwithstanding the monstrous number Of
toams and prodigious quantity of hogsheads
sailed, it was impossible for the fishermen to
get rid Of them. Thousands upon thousands
were hauled out on the fields for manure, and
