Dean, RIcKETrs AS your correspondents
from this place still persist in preserving 81
lcnce, shall send youa few items:--
y The wealth or of late has been exceeding
ly propitiOus for harvesting, which has cna-
blcd our farmers to get their hay and wheat
gathered in good order. Though the hay
crop generally u light, yet it is much bet ter
than was anticipated, making perhaps one
hal of an average crop; but the wheat here
will turn out fully, if not above, an average
yield, as it has not been injured by any of
those ihss cts. that have been trouble some to
the wheat crop in some section of the coun-
ty. The Oats, which is nearly ready to cut,
has never since my recollection given bet
ter promise Of an abundant crop. Corn and
potatoes, also, look admirably we'll.
The Bait. 4 Phla. Central r. X. continues
to be the leading topic. The work of grad
ding and bridging on the Pennsylvania portion
of the road, now under contract, is being
pushed forward with unprecedented rapidity.

Of hands employed, aud the President and
Directors assure us that that portion will lie
fully equipped and ready for operation on OF
before the first Of January next. An effort
is being made in this county to obtain few
riglns Of way, and am happy to say that it
can be accomp ishcd it'll but few exceptions.

CorRr HorsE PoISr.-Aftcr an absence
of ten years spent an hour or two last

history of Cecil County. Here the good poo
IN Of Cecil used to meet for the transaction of
public business.
On the opposite side of the river in Elk
Neck, the old ferry house is still standing
with the marks Of time impressed on it, and
the old ferry boat is said to be lying beneath
the surface of the water in a state Of prcser-
vation. This was public ferry, kept up at
the cxrensc Of the County and the Citizens
from the upper paris Of the County came. by
the way of North East, thence along what
was called the ferry rond to Elk river at the
ferry housc above mentioned. The site OF
the old jail is only dist,nsuisl'ablc by n slight
inlen'ation Of the surface VI the lot over
which the plow-sllarc now passes. Here it
is said. a slave was hanged for the murder Of
his master, and have heard supcrslitions

the spot where the murder was committed

the followers of John l.abadic, who had Il

any record. Or can aught be found in the
history of the Church of st. Augustine to
throw light on this interesting subject: or
are there ancient papers in the families Of the
carly settlers to clucilate the history of the
settlement of Bohemia Manor!

course of Lectures had here during the past
spring, for the bens fit OF the poor, ] have ta-
ken the trouble to wait upon the committee
| and learn the truth of the affair. Persons
who were too mean to purchase tickets to
those Lectures or to contribute even three
cents to q charitable purpose. when called
upon but who spend their money and their
time in drinking rum and getting drunk, have
put into circulation stories that are calculated
unless rctutcd) not only to injurc the per-
sons instrumental in getting mp the Lectures,
but to seriously affect the helpless widow
lady whom they have so vilainously identi
fed in connection with their unprincipled
statements. l am authorized in Stating
that there is not the shadow OF truth in the
report that said widow lady has received
forty dollrrs Of sad Lecture fund On the
other hand, She has never received a single
cent from that source. NJ. T. l.. Pot lson
inform me that about forty dollars, over and
above expenses, were realized from those
Lectures and that eleven dollars of that sum
have been distributed in two ncccsSitons cases
and that the balance twenty nine dollars is
still in the hands Of the committee.

to have a celebration in Mr.. Smiths woods,
