From the above statistics is is observable
that the statement lately made in the papers
that the receipts at Newark are greater than
at any other depot between the cities, except
Wilmington, is incorrect. Elkton stands
first, being ahead of Newark by 81 500 "a,
and ahead of liavre dc Grace by 50 .2l2.72.

daylight on Thursday called to mind that it
was the anniversary the l.3rd) of the birth
of Washington.' The day was finished out
(and the next day bcgun) by ball at the
"IIoward House, at which, we understand,
there were thirty ladies ani probably twice
that many gentlemen. Ih2. danced all night
till broad day light'--and II is likely We're
not much better or wiser in the morning.

Of the wedding order be sure but Johnson's
match horses, which having been brought
out to take some Of the ladies to the cars
ran off and smashed his carriage performing,
indeed, conpetcr ssbrcak down" than any
thing produced in the ball room. The town
is again quiet and the country appears for Il
time to be safe.
SHOOTING ArFRAY.-John Egnor shot
Caleb Wilson with pistol on last Saturday
evening, the ball entering the feshy part of
his thigh and passing nearly through it. DIR.
Mitchell cut out the ball on Sunday morning.
The ARRAY occurred at a house mile cast Of
Elkton; whiskey and jealousy may have had
something to do with the case. Egnor is in
Jail and Wilson is getting over it.
HORSE Losr.-M John S. lianes lost q
fine horSe yesterday by breaking his leg while
turning a corner of the street. This is the
second horse he has lost by similar accident
this winter.

Forty persons have protessed conversion at
