Mn. EDlTon:-I again trouble you with a
short scrawl; it seems havcraiscd hornet $
nest but il is rather too late in the season
for them to sting. | say now what | have
said before, that Jonathan does not know any
thing about who are know uothngs here, al
though he prctcnds he does. Moreover
jonathan is not now nor was he ever a resi-
dent of this place, and every thing he writes
is from report He also says that the new
slaughter house shortly to be erected is for
the purpose of killing of know nothngS.' |
have 10 doubt he is well Ms somcohcr> would
be very well satisfied if such were the case,
but am happy to know it was built for a
better pupose. It appears there was some
thing so remarkably funny about my sigma
ture that it has set all the writers to Singer
ing, especially Mike who told us he was :g-
nor;nt at the start of his letter and proved
his words before he finished the same.
Our village will start in the spring with Il
fresh impetus. and have no doubt that lnm-
Der, spoken of in Mikes letter will be rcmov-
cd Immediately. Our mayors election will
come off pretty soon. The present in
cumbcnt has again been nominated for that
important office, have not the least doubt
of his slcc, IS. | am very glad TO see our
friend kclso is still in the land of the living.

SINGULAR OccURRENCE.---In Louisville
KY, couple of foolish fellows having lot
of knotty saw logs, butts Of trees. &C., which
they could not chop, saw nor split apart, got
them together in a pile, OH Thursday evening
last, at the corner ofTwelfth and Main streets,
bored hole in the largest log. filled IL with
powder, and blew up the whole lot with an
explosion which caused the splintcrs to fly in
all directions. One chunk went through
wagon standing OH Main street, killing tw o
men who were standing on the sidewalk ore
of whom was much bruised and his clothes
nearly torn from him. The same splinter al
so knocked hole in the door of a house,
and another fragment demolished window
on each side of the house.

BREADTTUFFs FROM CALIFORNIA.-A letter
in the New York Journal Of Commerce, da-
ted San Francisco, Oct. "a, says:
An effort is now being made with the large
wheat growers of our State to charter a clip
per ship and load her with $4,000 bushels OF
wheat and barley for your city. Many farm
ers have already come into the arrangement
and agreed to ship - per cent of their crops
the freight of which per bnshcl will be about
SO c., or say one cent per H., which, at pres
ent New York rates, it is thought will leave
a small margin for profit, and at the sam,
time help our own prices.

Thus it will DC seen Cecil is UNNECESSARILY
in advance, in intelligence, of every county
on the Eastern Shore; and, with the exccp-
ton of Carroll, of every one in the State.
While education in Cecil county is not near
so generally dihiused as we hope in few
years to see it; yet we should all be proud to
reflect that we live in community of such
intelligence when compared with many of the
other counties Of both the Eastern and Vest
TN Shores.

would never write again: but although sillnt
for sometime, it may not be amiss to write
once more inaSmlch as one or two persons
have been blamed with writing my former
co communications, who are entirely innocent,
while have never been suspected, as far as
know at present.
The news in this section is rather scarce
| can do as many have done before me: give
few words about our farmers and their
crops. They are now busily engaged in put
ting up their corn crop which is very good in
this district, generally. The Buckwhcat crop
is tolcrably good and the young crop Of wheat
is very promising at present.
will now tell you Of rather strange phe-
nomcna in nature that occurred sometime du-
ring the PAST summer. A gentleman whose
veracity can rely upon told me that during
a thunder storm large chestnut tree, stand
ing near his house was struck by Lightning
three distinct times within the space of 5
minutes: stating as a proof that he saw the
splints fly from the top of the tree each time
that it was struck. The only cause he can
think offs the following: A gentleman pas
std whose business 1t was 10 sell lightning
rods Of new patent, and very superior kind,
forget the name. When passing ne drop
ped the tai-piecc of his wagon, which my in
tormant found and placed it in the fork Of the
tree, causing the lightning to strikeas before
stated. If any one should doubt the truth Of
the statement they can obtain satisfactory cv-
idcncc 10y calling on OSCAR.
