The Central Roilrond-Groand Broken .i9
Ceci-Nor~ Dronrned, &c. X
DEAR RICKETTS, Il am glad again to re-
port progress on the Central Railroad
Mcssrs. Dickcy & Co. have commenced oper-
atoms on the contract from the Md. line to
the Susquefanna River, and from the reputa-
ton of the firm, no doubts are entertained
that the work will go on as speedily as cir
cumstanccs will admit of. | am told they
break ground near the Rising sun on Dir. S.
i. Stubbs fam. Thus, you sec. what was
looked upon as bare possibility twelve
months ago is growing fast to reality, and
we may yet ere twelve months more shall
pass enjoy the benefits ola connection with
some Of the great improvements of the age
am sorry to report a serious accident
which occurred near our town. Mr.. Brown
of Lancaster county, on his way from Port
Deposit last evening. lost valuable horse
While driving slowly along, the horse be-
came suddenly frightened and ran furiouSly
until the coupling of the wagon disconnected.
The lines being strong caught on the front
wheels and drew the horses head close to his
body and in this situation he ran into the
Octoraro Creek i'll about seven feet water,
where he drowned before assistance could be
had. MIR. Brown escaped without being
seriously hurt, although the wheels Of the
wagon passed over his breast. p.

For The Cecil Wh,g.
The DOg-TaX Law.

Mr. EDlroR:-Your correspondent of the
LIST District has given his opinion on taxing
dogs. lie says 81 90 head would pay all
the damage done by killing sheep and much
diminish the number ofdogs, &c. Now, my
opinion is that less damage might be- done
and dogs diminished faster by doubling the
above amount on every SHIT in the county
They are the principal cause of dogs doing so
much damage, not only to sheep, but in grain
fields and sometimes in attacking hogs in
their way.
Some 81 Y or seven years ago gang of those
hungry dogs attacked fine brood SOW Of
mine and would have killed her OF the spot
had not heard th,n in timc. took my gun
and killed the slut, and the dogs dispersed
very quickly. The SOW lived three days and
then died from the wounds given by the dogs.
She was worth ten dollars, or more Thus
You see there is more damage done to farmers
by dogs than by killing sheep, and why
should not man be paid for a hog killed or
for grain destroyed by dogs as we'll as fol
sheep killed by them.
Mr.. Editor, if you think the above worthy
a place in your paper publish it, and I would
like to hear more opinions OH this subject.

"AMERICANs SHOULD RULE AMERI-
BA."-A correspondent refers to our
article of last week with the above head
ing and turns in another direction the
remarks we intended to make this week
in continuation ofthe subject. lie asks ::
elf it is not natural for Irishmcn whose
native country has been so cruelty op-
pressed and misgovcrncd by the English,
to express their Indignation against the
latter country, and to hold themselves
ready to assist the land Of their birth, in
case of a conflict with tile English !''-
We answer: certainly it is natural, and
regarding them as Irishmen, it is right
And it is here the strongest reason is
found why men of foreign birth should
not hold Office in this country. The
principle which induces the love of ones
native land is one of the highest i'll hui
man nature. 1t is patriotism, without
the existence of which no people would
be likely to protect their country and
their homes. And it is this very virtue
of foreigners Which tends to make them
dangerous governors here. 1t is not the
business of this country or the native
citizens of this country to take up the
quarrel between Ireland and England,
and Irishmen who have been naturalizcd
here ought, as in duty bound, to forbear
from any proceedings calculated to CHI
broll this country and England in war.
Such meetings as that in New York
show to what extent Irishmen in this
country would 60 if they were in posses
sion of sufficient influence in the govern
ment, and every sensible man among
them ought to see that while they arc
: thus anxious for difficulty with Eng
land and for this country to take an ac-
tive part i'll behalf of Ireland, the native
citizens here should not permit them tc
hold such positions as would facilitate
them in ef1ecting such designs
No man will censure Irishmen here fol
sympathising with the people of the
country from which he emigrated; MOI
would they be ecnsurablc for Fastening
to Ireland to assist her in case of an at
tempt ON her part to free herself from
English rule, but they should not be al
lowed to hold such meetings here as that
New York affair, while this country and
England are at peace. 1t is ssillibust-
ering" and nothing else. We would
like our correspondent to say if these
are not correct views in the premises.

DEAR RICKETTS, The Canal this morning
is f,oz,n with ice about ! an inch in thickness
the trade in consequence is growing less
daily and the Town will soon put on its Win
ter garments. Prices are high, however and
labor ditto, therefore the winter cannot be
hard for money, down here at least is
plenty as dirt SO hurral for gay and a
merry time.
Loafers are also as plenty as money and
dirt, and before Spring the holes in the coats
etc. of thesc-jndging from past time-will
be far more extended and full than their pur-
scs. Whiskey is, also, beginning to flow in
consequence Of the advent of these regular
winter visitors. and large quantities of it en-
cased in flesh may be seen rolling down town
daily. The Maine law is thing of The past
and the time of good old Rum has again ar
rived. All hail ! the suspicious time when
men can drink as often and as long as they
chose.
The large ice house erected by John Kib.
Ter, Esq. last Spring, is being torn down to-
day preparatory to removing it to more
favorable location. This business was pro.
ftabIe one last year. Upwards of 10000
bushels of ice were sold and twice that
amount could not have supplied the demand

FRENCH WHEAT BuYERs.-Wc noticed tho
fact some time since, that agents of the
French Government were making large pur-
chases of wheat at Chicago and other Wcs-

is supposed to have purchased for French ac-
count, and who paid ont here over 81 200, 900
through the Marine Bank of this city, is still.

tend greatly to keep up prices in the present
