""'Se NS'""ie was iol present, UelnS
confined by sickness in Baltimore.
The LIGHTNING TRAIN.-An effort is ,,ine
made by some of our citizens to have the fast
mai train .or Baltimore, which passes here
at about half past two in the afternoon, to
stop at the Elkton Station. We hope thew
will succeed. The only chances of going to
Baltimore by the cars at present, arc at one
o'clock at night and l0a in the morning. and
the business of many of our citizens, and
particularly of those who come this way from
down the Eastern Shore calling them fire.
quenly to Baltimore, great Inconvenience is
experienced by delays and night travel. The
train in question might be stopped here, we
should think, with scarcely pcrccptible
delay
TIE PRISONERS IN THE JAIL.-It is now
settled that there can be no court to try the
criminal cases until in October if even then.
The Jail is filled with prisoners of various
sorts and colors, charged with various crimes
and misdemeanors, who must there remain
at the expense of the county, for number
of months to come. This will add to the levy
to be made next month for the current wear,
but more to the levy to be made in 1856. 1t
is hard bargain too, to the sheriff; as he,
cannot raise the price on his boardcrs, but
must feed them now as when provisions were
half their present prices, at So. 10 per week.
THE PoRT DEL oslT LECTURES. Fifth
Of the series Of Lectures in the Town Hall at
Port Deposit, will be delivered on Friday
evening the 18th inst, by Rev. c. 7. Lewis,
Of Wilmington; the subject will be The
Imaginative as connected with the Good"
On the night Of the 18th inst Rev. pcnncl
Coombe lceturcd according to arrangement
on "The Unity of the Human Racc"-his
lecture, as we understand, was thorough
exposition Of the subject, and an irrcfutaLle
argument in favor Of the proposition.
TIE BUSINESS OF TIE TowN.-Everytlng
is active herc-our merchants have splendid
stocks of goods on hand and arc selling them
off rapidly-our lumbcrmen are making ar,
rangcments to lay in large supplies for the
great demand which they forcscc will be
made on them all our mechanics arc fairly
oycrrun with business, and laboring men for
common work ale scarcely to be had at any
price.
TIE WHEAT CRoP IN CEcH..-Bcfore the
slight rains of Tuesday and Wednesday the
wheat fields in this county were suffering
severely from dry weather, which amounted
almost to dWuth. So injurious was it that
in many fields great deal was dying out
Now we see an Improvement but there is no
sort of doubt but the crop must be short in
the county-the young wheat is not on the
ground to make an average crop.
OuR WILMINGTON ADV ERTlsEMESTs.-Ou
readers will find in our columns the adver-
mcnts of a number of business men in Will
mington. After attending to the duty of
first purchasing at home, wherever they may
reside, if they go elsewhere they will find no
better opportunity to have their wants sup
piled than by our Wimingtr advertisers in
their several departments nsiness. We
know them personally and peak from that
knowledge.
A DANGEROUS BRIDGE.-The foot bridge
over the Big Elk on the road leading from
town toward Red Hill is at present in very
dilapidated condition. The floor is unsafe,
great portion of the railing is broken off and
unless it is repaired shortly will be danger
GUS to cross. IL should be attended to with
out delay.
Cool WEATHER.-We dnesday was dar k
drzzly, cold day-too cold for the beginning
of April.
"Wintcr lingering CHILLED the lap of May"
but the sun has triumphed over the Nor
Easter" and the clouds and,wc have pleasant
weather again.
TIE ClRCUs.--The extensive and celebrated
circus of Rivers & Derious is advertised to beg
here on the 22nd inst, on which occasion
We will no doubt have large concoursc of
people: it being one of the best establishments
of the kind now travelling in the country.
srccEssFUL FIsInNG.--Mr. John Ycamans,
of Charlestown, in this county, informs us
that Elisha g. ycamans and + TT Ho1lirT
