REPREHENsIBLE CONDUcT.-We are informed
that persons residing near Keith's Cross Roads,
in this county, are much annoyed in consequence
of the selling of ram in a little store kept at
that place. For several months it has been a
place of rendezvous for drinking characters,
aud several times fearful fights have occurred.
They have been getting more and more bold,
until the Sabbath day is not even regarded
On Sunday last, as the decent aud respectable
portion of the people were on their way to
church, they were shocked by the conduct oI
several persons who were passing the " bowl y
around in jolly style, prominent among whom
was an officer from Dover. Such conduct can
not be too highly censured. particularly in I
sworn officer who is foremost in the violation
of law, with the additional guilt of doing it oil
Gods holy day. Are our Offices in such bnt
repute that men Of moral character cannot b.
found to ill them! 1t so, certainly we arr

.TELEGR kPH ACROSS THE ATLAETIC-The
past week will be rendered famous in the an
nails of new spa perdom, as the opening of new
line of communication between New York and
st. Johns, Newfoundland, which is destined,
re many months have passed, to be the con-
Meeting link, or electral spark, which is to reach
to Galway on the West coast of Ireland. Al
though the project had its origin with New
York merchants, yet the stock has been large
many distinguished engineers and men Of sci
ence. as well as The money kings, in its list o
stockholders We may therefore expect mex
summer that daily bulletin will be establish
ed between Liverpool and New York.

CARELESS AOcIpENT.-Ye esterday morning,
little boy. son of MIR. John E. Mount, of this
town, was knocked down in front OF our office,
and severely hurt for the time, by wagon
which was passing through the street at a rapid
rate. The child was crossing the street, and,
had not the vehicle been going faster than tfe
speed prescribed by law, would have had sutfi-
cient time 10 get out of the way. Our town
ordinance prohibits the proceeding of wagons
SC, through the streets at a faster rate thar
six miles per hour. under penalty of $500 fnt
and costs. The arresting and timing few Ofth'
fast gentry, would elfectually work the OBJ
servance of the ordinance, and, no doubt, be
protection 10 life.

THANKSGIVING DAY.--Thursday last, though
recommended and setapart by our Chief Execu-
tive as day for returning thanks to kind and
bouniiful creator, was, we are sorry to say, but
in few instances so regarded in our town. An
effort was made to have business suspended
which was almost unanimously agreed TO, but
for the want Of entire unanimity, did not sue
coed. Many, however, evinced their REGARD
for the day by attending religious services
which were held at the Presbyterian church.
in the afternoon, conducted by the Pastor, Rev
7. G. Murphey, aud in the NJ. E. Church bo.l
morning aud evening. Tie discourse OF Rev
John Thompson, at the latter church, was clear
timely and very effective. We see by our ex
changes thai in most Of the towns on the Pc
ninsula the day was religiously observed.

The CITIZENS OF BlsToN seem disposed to

citizens ticket formed which was triumpha ni
over all other parties. and new they are about
adopting another ticket of the same character
for the next municipal election This is the
only way to secure good city government
