RISING SCN, April 80, 1857

StNr "a P'i w. Atofs
Mr. EDlroR:-It has been long time
since have noticed anything in your col.
..mns from our village and as we have not
been standing still we certainly deserve an oc.
casional notice.
Two years ago. to be sure. our village was
no; very large, vet within that period Of time
our population has doubled new buildings
have been erected, some old ones repaired
and others torn down and replaced by better
ones, Besides this number Of huiltling lots
have been sold and should the Railroad be
completed within any reasonable length OF
time, we may yet rank among the places Of
note, in this county. at least.
Some of yonr correspondents, when speak
ing Of the Railroad, have been in the habit of
asserting that the work was entirely suspcn-
dcd in this county. Now this has not bt ell
the case, since the work commenced. except
at one time las. winter, during the extreme
cold weather. One of the contractors, how
ever: did stop working. az the payments OF
Stock were SLOW and would not justify more
than one set of hands working at q time, on
the contract in this county.
Some of our citizens are quite excited in
consequence of report that some individual
residing at or near Principle alias SHUTDOWN
has hccn carrying pistols for some time,
and thrcatnng to use them on certain Of his
species. Rnmor also sav-th that he snapped
twice at a certain official of Plincipio, and
that he has killed outright former citizen Of
cur village. AS quite number of our VII
iagers are in danger, they are on the g"i r,re
and a considerable change is noticed in them.
would advise YOU, Mr.. Editor to warn the
good people of Elkton in time-as the man
with the pistols" may pay your county seat
visit in his rounds.
Our farmers are behind with their Spring
work, owing to the cold weather. Wheat.
generally, looks bad. ABSEE.

DEATH BY DROWNING On Monday after
noon, two toys named Aubel. attempted to
cross the Susqucha hna river above the dam

strong and succeeded in getting some distance

rapidly towards one Of the breaks in the
dam through which the water was rushing
with great force. In going through, the
boat struck on rock, upsctting, and they
were seen for some time trying to save them,
selves till at last they sunk.

ELkTON, MAY 2, 1857.

WlNGATE's MARYLAND REGISTER We
mentioned, two weeks ago, our indebtedness
| to the po,teness Of Mr. James Winga,c for
copy of his HWyland Register for lS57.-
| Since then We have given glance at its pages,
and have to regret that we find it SO unreliable
as to be entitled to no credit at all unless
there be other evidence, at hand er The mat
tiers stated by it as facts.
For instance; let us take up that part OF
the work relating to Cecil county, and see
what is its standard of correciness
| 1t states the residence Of Lon. j. B: Ri
caud Member of Congress from this. District
to be Elliton; whereas it is ii! Chestertown.
Itputs dawn d. W. Farra as the Postmas-
tr at Elkton, when no such man ever resided
here; our Postmaster is Mr. John 4. Brown.
In naming the Judges Of the Orphans
Court, it gives Principle as the Post Office Of
Mr. Lyon, and Port Deposit as the P. o. of
Gen. Sites.
In speaking OF the County Commissioners
Of Cecil county, ii says IF resident ten or
more miles from Westn'nster they receive
50 90 per day
It gives ii. c. Mackall as Auditor, instead
Of VIM. J. Jones, who was appointed as long
ago as january, 1856.
Then there are many errors in names such
as Sinton for Linton. Stackhorn for Stack
house, Barwice for Barwick, Dr.. F.. II. En-
Dry instead of DR.. J. X. b. Emory, &c. even
two members Of the bar are robbed Of part of
their good names by prc6xing J. r. to Mr..
Rowan instead of J. B., and j. P. to Mr. Nc
Cullongh instead of j. 7.
In giving list of Presby terrain churches in
the State he puts none in Cecil, although
there are at least five; two Of them built more
| han half century ago.
So much for Cecil--an there is more if
we had time to note it: and this leads TO the
query: if in the matters known to us there is
so much error, how can we rely on it as au-
thoi:y in regard to affairs with which we are
unacquaincd in other counties? Clearly its
statements must be received with distrust. -
These are errors which cannot be defended
| and we regret their occurrence in the work,
winch Is one gotten up on a good plan and
with much labor and expense. We hope Mr..
Winsate will take the steps to correct it be-
fore he issues the edition foI 1858.
