BRICK MEETING HOUSE.
MAY 3rd '5h

Mn. EDITOR This is very busy time of
the year for the farmers, and if grain and
potatoes are not lower next spring than at
present it will not be their fault, for there
will be more corn and potatoes planted
around here this season than for several
previous years. Some have finished plant
ing, some half done, others not yet begun.
Chester and Lancaster counties seem de-
ter,nined to be supplied with herring and
shad the ensuing year, for not less than one
hundred fish-teams daily pass toward the
fisheries. and it is certainly fine fishing for
the rum sellers, judging by the condition in
which we see many Of the drivers.
| am sorry to say that in Cecil county
drunkenness is on the increase Where have
our boosted men of Temperance gone Have
they been warned to flee from the country,
like Lot and his family were from their ma
tive City. If such is the case we may look
for birthstone soon-the whiskey makes fire
enough. ia few of the missionaries who
are sent to foreign countries to convert the
heather would stop here short time they
might find we are not all Christians, judging
from the number of people we observe work.

THE LEDGER AND BREADSTUFFS.

During the past week The PHILADELPHIA
Ledger has succeeded in putting down the
price Of wheat a few cents per bushel, which
has caused small shipment of some thou
sands Of bushels of wheat to a foreign mar
ket for the benefit Of their especial friends in
Europe. This was brought about bv esti-
mating that about 200 900 barrels Of flour
is ready to come forward from the West and
Canada: 100000 Of which comes from the
latter place. Now. suppose this estimate to
be correct as to quantity. what will that all
amount! 1t is only equal to 100000 bush.
els Of wheat. The crop Of the whole Union
exclusive of Canada is about 10000. 900
bushels per month-the 10000 then is
less than one months consumption. Three
months must expire. before but little new
wheat can be brought to market. 1t is then
but too plain, that little chance remains for
reduction Of price, before the new crop
comes in, if The Lcdgcr's account of the sup
ply is correct, which is now doubtful. as tile
following extract Of this morning May ls%
will show:
'!No PLACE FOR PooR MAN.-Fiour is selling
at Montre Il. Canada at STA per barrel. and at Que
bee at from Sl2 to S3 per barrel; butter is 40 cts
b.; beef 10 to 90 cts per H.; and labor at two sh
ings currency, or 40 c per day"
Thus it is seen that the price of -four in
Canada averages Sl3 per barrel, whilst the
price of -four in New York ranges from 1915
TO $3.50 per barrel, being now $l.3s7
higher in Canada than in New York. 1t is
thus seen by the Lelgcr's own showing that
but Ii tie reliance can be placed on its esti-
mates about the supplies of breadstufs: but
which, indeed. are about as correct as any
staten nts ever made in that journal as re-
CARDS Political Economy, or any thing else
which tends to the well being of American
Interests. DELAWARE FARMER.

Mn. EDITOR The work of the Central
Railroad goes on finely. The engineers are
now locating the road from the Pennsylvania
line to the Susquchanna river, with strong
assurance that it will be ready for the rails
by December, which will put an end, sup
pose, to all c. nt"ovc ,sy about the most fav-
orable location for the railroad, Frink and
Ash surveys, &c, and whether Cecil can
furnish $50 900 or not. Now for the bridge
across the river; never was u better time
timber cheap.
The river has been in fine rafting order for
some time and large quantity of boards,

but large quantity yet remains along the

considerable reduction in pricos of all kinds
of lumber is anticipated.
Now is the seed time and Harvest along

BRINGUAM You've AND THE GOVERNOR
SHIP OF UTAH.-Brigham Young has been
making characteristic speech at the Great
Salt Lake City. in which he rants and raves
over the prospect of his removal, and abuses
the United States officers that have been sent
to the territory in the filthiest language.
There is considerable cunning exhibited in
the following passages extracted from a
speech made by Brigham to ''the saints"
If the gallant gentleman who is now in our
midst had received the commission of gov
cnor of this territory, as was reported. and
had accepted it. would have taken off my
hat and honored the appointment: and this
people would have been just as passive and
submissive to him as ever they coull be to
me. That I will warrant and vouch for. But
for man to come here and infringe vi on my
individual rights and privileges, and upon
those of my brethren, will never meet my
sanction. and will scourge such al one until
he leaves; am after him. But say to the
praise of the gallant gentleman referred to, if
there was going to be gentleman called up
on to be our governor, that there is not
man under the Kingdom Of God that would
listen to sooner, and feel more confidence and
cordiality towards. than to him. wish this
need of praise could be awarded to every Of
tccr in the government, but it cannot. We
have some Of the most corrupt damnabc
mean curses here that ever disgracod the
earth some who even wi n the carry the holy
sanctnry in one hand and a jug of whlskcy
in the other, and follow -, and have u
saint trail behind them to hold up their gar
ments to prevent their drabbling.

owe find the following account of q
runaway scoundrel in The Bait. Sun, taken
from the N. Y. Tribune. It was about
Havre-de-Grace and not Port Deposit that
the man had been lately fourishing; of which
former place he had been resident for several
years, in the person of the notorious W. W.
Levy, who has occasionally figured as The
Sun s correspondent. We saw Mr.. Tome on
his return from the unsuccessful pursuit; he
was of the opinion that Levy and Mrs. Deav-
er had left New York in steamer either for
Charleston or California;
AN ALLEGED SwlNDLER--Tbe New York
Tribune of Monday contains an account of
the visit of Mr. Jacob Tome. President of the
Cecil Bank, Of Port Deposit Md, in COM
pany with Mr.. John w. Beaver of the same
place in qnest of man who. it is alleged
absconded with 5000 borrowed money be-
longing to the Bank President, and the wife
Of Beaver, who leaves two children. the
youngest of whom is but fourteen months
old.-It appears, from the statements of the
gentlem en- in pursuit Of the fugitives, that
the man has been hourishing about Port De-
borrowed funds to large amount, giving his
notes, payable in three and six months.
Having wife to whom he was not devoted.
ly attached, he finally concluded to abandon
her and his creditors at the same time. Not
wishing to leave the country alone, he in
simulated himsclfinto the good graces Of Mrs.
beaver, who is said to be an accomplished
and remarkably fine looking woman. Poor
Beaver became nearly frantic at the absence
of his unfaithful and heartless wife, whom he
traced to Philadelphia III company with the
DESTROYER Of his domestic happiness, and
there became satisfied that the two had talk
EN- the cars for New York. Hercturnt d home
to make some provision for his young chill
drcn, dc:e mined, however, to pursue the
guilty couple and learn the worst He was
almost overpowered with sorrow. Mr.. Tome
and Mr.. Dcaver concluded to come to New
York togethcr-one to secure his money, and
the other to find his wife; but before starting
pcruscd letter received by the deserted wife
from her husband. dated in New York, con-
vcying the soothing intelligence that he was
about embarking for distant country. there
fore 1T was useless for her friends to pursue
him. Thinking this might be mere pretcxt
to hide his whereabouts, Mcssrs. Tome and
Deaycr hastened'to this city, the latter look
ing the very picture Of misery. They had
failed in the object of their trip, and Mr.
Tome considering the chances to find the man
and recover his money decidedly bad, con-
Sdcred it best to go home by the first train;
but Beaver being more determined, and hay.
ing greater interest at stake, is securing
the city with policeman i'll search of the
fugitvcs.

CyThc statistical tables of mortality show
reduction in this country OF the proportion
of deaths from pulmonary diseases. Doct
AVER attributes this result to the effect Of
his CHERRY PICTORIAL. He also asserts that
the cures from his Catllaric Pills give reason
to believe they will, as they come into more
general use, materially reduce the mortality
from those particular diseases for which they
are designed. From what we know we know
of his preparations, we think he has grounds
for his claims, and if he has, it is an attain
ment of which an Emperor might be proud.
Rarely is it permitted any one man to know
that his skill is brstowing health and life to
the masses ofhis fellow men.
Such a reflection is worth working for, ev-
en- though he had only the reflection for his
reward.-Springf eh Daily Courier.

Mr.. EDIToR THE charming month of
May--the month of flowers and beauty has
again made its appearance, and now, as
write you, the bland winds as they whistle
the requiem of departed winter, are redolcnt
with the perfume Of thousands of flowers.
May parties are all the rage hereabouts:

thing rich should transpirc, I'll give you the
interesting items.
The Farmers are busily engaged IN plant
ing corn; some of the fast ones have finished
planting some time since. Wheat and grass
are looking finely, although the past winter
has been very severe.
The fishing season isin full tide and "mul-
lets" are numerous. One of our citizens
caught one few days ago Of an extraordin-
airy size. which he intends to pickle; 'sardines'
being very delectable article at all times,
and pickles, are in great demand at this juno

SHOOTING BIRDs.-A gang of several Toys
came into town one evening this week freight
ed with the spoils of an unhallowed days
occupation in the shape of some dozen of
birds which they had shot down in the midst
of their songs and nest-building. We cam
not find words too strong to condemn this
cruel and heartless sport. Where is the love
Of the beautiful in plumage, in music, in
motion, in such hard-hearted and ignorant
young bird slayers, who thus destroy and
lay waste the life and beauty of wood and
field out of mere wantonness! We fear they
are the material to make bad men.

FIRST SALE OF New WHEAT.-A bona fidc
sale Of wheat on the ground-the incoming
crop was made on Saturday, and the first
we have heard Of having been made this sea-
soa. One of tie most extensive farmers in
an adjoining town contracted for the sale of
the product of about one hundred acres, to
be delivered Immediately after harvest. at a
fraction less than two dollars per bushel.
Tho purchaser was country miller. A
handsome advance was made OH the spot to
bind the contract. The inference from this
sale is that the present indications are that
the opening price for the new crop will he
lsss than two dollars. 1t will be ten weeks
to harvest. and important changes may &C.
cur 10 affect the markets in that time.
