WEBSTER.
So, having several ssdiminutive'' letters
this week, under the above authority We have
headed them as you see.
IFor The Cecil Whig.1
Mr.. EDITOR Have we not a functionary
called Woodcorder in Elkton? If we have,
considering the high price of wood, and the
extremely small cords some wood sellers
haul, ] think his services should be called
into rcquisition. There is surely great deal
of imposition in the wood line. Hickory.

EDITOR CECIL WmG,-Dear SIR am
happy to inform the anxious cnquirers after
Mr.. Eppelsheimcr, that he is a leader in the
new political order which is now attracting
so much attention, in which he is likely to
rise to emimcncc. He is a dangerous man to
all ssod fogics," and old bcaux, but Of his
present intentions and whereabouts, as in
duty bound, "KNow NOTHING"
IFor The Cecil Whigl
Mn. RIcKETTs:--I send you the following
answer in rhyme, to the enigma you publish
cd last week.
Far down from mountain peak or hill,
Does Nature lay her icrel plain,
But by mans ierei and his skill
A ierel on the height may reign.
And strangely is the ierei made
BY which the hill is lerel laid
The middle letter: s:V'' is fire,
And ieret reads each way the same;
Cut off the ssl's'' and you have ssErc''
Whose years no mortal now may claim.
So near s.for e'er" she lived withal
II was but an apple caused the 'tall."
(6y-That is good answer; quite as good as
the one in Backwood, we think, which reads
as follows :-Ed.]
Who finds his lcrel falls below
His own good estimation,
But engineers their ierei make
Oft in the highest station.
In icrel see the letter u
Numerical the rddlc);
For though fire letters make the name,
You find fire in the middle.
Turned round still Ierei level is
But head and tail discover,
That little less will stand for ere.
And little more for cuer.
MONTE BELLO.-Bclow we give an extract
from the letter OF correspondent, who
seems entranced with Monte Bello, which, we
believe, is none other than the residence of
George W. Oldham, Esq, on the Sassafras
River -
'-Montc Bcilo! Yes tits pretty name;
and am confident, my dear R, you will
agree with me, when you visit it there is not
sweeter spot in Kent or Cecil, at least; or,
think may safely add, Gin the wide world.''
Those who choose may seek excitement and
pleasure at fashionable resorts; but, for my
self, who delight rather in quiet and seclu
son-I would prefer TO linger at Monte Bello,
the home of hospitality and beauty. Here,
where always gentle breeze comes up from
the water, could, through the sultricst days,
sit, book in hand, beneath the shade of some
favorite tree end gaze upon the river winding
on its serpentine course and listen to the
songs of the birds in the branches and shrub
berry around me, or look into the kind and
earnest faces Of those, swho make each dear
scene Of cnchantment more DEAR while their
ripping voices fall upon my ear as soothingly
as dew upoa til flowers.
All believe me, R, the memory ofhap-
py hours spent there comes up to me refresh
ingly, and if your tastes and feelings are in
harmony with nature, and you are capable of
approaching the true and beautiful, you will
find Monte Bello ca pleasant place. indeed"
