DEAR RICKETTS, Our town WIS thrown

brought OH shore 1t proved TO be that of an
infant Of apparently. a day or two old to
whose neck was a stone Efficiently heavy to
carry 1t to the bottom. \ c0runcrS inquest
was held and post ,nolten" examination
made by DIR. Wallace. have not yet heard
what was the verdict of the jury. This is
the third case of this kind that has happened
here within the last year or two. There was
| considerable speculation in regard to the mat
t'r, blt it his all died away. PERHAPS had
! they have asked Sam" he conll have told
them something about it. although report
| says he is a know nothing.
| f.w days ago the Canal Company lower
cd the wages of the men II their employ from
| nine to seven shii;ngs er day. The lianl;
refused TO work at the reduced rates, giving
rs their reason that they could scarcely pay
| thcir board at such PR c&. \ nunicr OF
tn m ycSte'lav returned to the work at the
| reduced wages.
y Protracted Meeting commenced at Bethel
some nights since. Notwithstanding the
horrible condition of the roads, learn that
| it has been very we'll attended, and thcy have
had sufficient encouragement to continue it
for some time yet.
The canal is again open and a considerable
number of boats are passing. The water,
however, is very low. withstanding the
amount Of rain that has fallen lately.

Mr.. Ediior:- The accounts from the Central

on Monday last At OXftrd Pa. ). j. Dclcv
IS vi, sided, The r. ports from the cngi-
nccr, Mr.. Sicklcs, AMI others were of the
NEST gratifying character. Enough of stock
has been disposed of in Chester and Delaware
counties within SAG Goo to grade and bridge
the road through their respective counties.
10 the Md. line, the balance necessary it is
confidently assured will be forthcoming in
due time.
The representatives from Cecil plcde, d her
o raise sufficient for the same purpose thro'
her territory: so, also does Hartford, and we
believe Baltimore counties. Thus you see
while many are talking Of the project as i'm
possible and as thing that may take place
sometime in the future, probably during the
20th ccntury the projectors of the road are
going forward with ali energy truly praise
worthy.
1t is contemplated to have the vince of ihr
road 70 the Md. line under contract 10y LIST of
February. 1t is also contemplated to build Il
travel bridge in connection with the Railroad
bridge at the Susquclanna. Tell your cor
respondent 'Bayard" to arouse his constitu-
cntS before they are cclipscd by both railroad
and bridge for travel.
McSSrs. Quigly & Co., have some 80 men
on the first miles and are pushing forward
with their accustomed energy. They pro-
pose grading most of the Road to Maryland,
and possibly further: they ale willing to
take one third Of the amount Of their contract
il stock and bonds Of til" Company.
There ale yet a few building lots at Row
landSville not taken. those desiring good
situations had better make ,ally Application.
The ice has at last left the Susquchanna
river and few RATS Of lumber have taken
shelter in the Md. canal, Should the wealth
cr continue mild and the water improve n
little more, there will lie Il Number venture
to tide water. There yet remains quite a
quantity Of Timber ut Peach Bottom await

man, in the employment of Mr.. Morris.
heard her child cry. in the room next to her.
and went in to see what occaSioned it. She
saw as she entered the room, Il large rat ru-
hing of from the child, who was lying on the
floor, and upon approaching the infant she
found a bite upon its check. which be pro-
iusely. She thought nothing of the accident,
and about two weeks since was sgain callod
into the room by the crying of her child.
Upon getting in she saw large rat ], a.
from the bed, and taking up the infant, which
was about seven months old she found that il
had been severely bitten on the mole Of the
head. No attention was paid TO the matter,
in consequence Of the trihing character ofthc
wound, and few hours afterwards the chi III
died. DR.. Wilson. who had the case under
