DEAR " HlG: Since my last nothing If
serious IMPORTANCE has ;ranSpi'ci, and tliS
wuuld not greet Your readers il it were mo-;
tur the fact that some inlivilnaia havIsasscr
ted that Pop" was afraid to write more and
could not prove that already written. Toal
such | would say the responsibility Of these
cI,isilcs Is assumed with II full cGmSciouSn, IS
Of all the powers belonging to and likely TO
be exercised BY these parties and they will
be continued just so long as my inclination
leads me To collect and write without the
least dread % consequences.
The Town Commissioners, on Saturday
last, appointed r. Mcfarland their Clerk. and
John Fillingham, BaliH. They are both
good men and it is said by some that the

town, already know tie !Iail.if and steer clear
Of him.
The Trade in the Canal is immense. The
new and large Locks have been kept in action
constantly for The past two weeks and the re-
ccipts arc vastly larger than at any former
time.
Tic Department at Washington has not
filled the vacancy in the Post Office here, al
though he resignation of the present incum-
bent was sent on a month ago. Two Staunch
Democrats arc applying for it-onc ofcourSc.
from each side Of the Town. Ticktown, it
was thought at one time hnd the best chance
but the matter wears new face now, and
probably Chesapeake City, actual and proper
will retain the Post Office.
Ticklown is getting very ravenous and
serious irlcas are entertained on tie Chcsa-
pcakc 81 L. Of cutting loose 'dlsSolving til e
Union and letting it again 60 down into its
former nsigniticancc-I should not advise
this course because Chesapeake then having
no one to quarrel with light get up u little
internal war.
A new street is being laid out just back of
the new Canal Lock. 1t is wide and well
located street and as the lots in that part Of
the village are cheap, it may soon be expected
to improve.
Bouchcl of the Manor House placed before
his guests this week Rock weighing 81
POUNDS rather large affair for these parts.

The southern side has always deferred Inc

Supervisor is now making the grade less steep
and vastly improving the road, generally. a
good Supervisor Is good thing to have and
Buskirk is turning a new leaf.
The Creek is filled with Timber from the
susquchaniah. ready as soon as practicable,
to pass the Canal on its way to the north.
