EsS"Ne publish elsewhere this week n
Synopsis or Analysis of the Levy List of
Cecil county, and the Annual Report of the
Trustees Of the Poor. both of which will he
found highly interesting to the people of
the county, though not as satisfactory as Il
full statement of the levy list would prove
where every item of expense is Specified
We perceive by the county papers Trough
out the State that the latter mode is the rule
and by turning to the act of Assembly on
the subject find 1t to be the law also. The
Commissioners of Cecil county have adopted
the more economical plan Of publishing an
annual condensed or synoptical statement.
This curtails few dollars from the bill for
advertising, but whether the people who foot
all bills, would rather lorego the satisfaction
OF seeing erery item stated for which they
pay their money or save the extra trihing
expense, is a question not clearly deter.
mined. To make law and practice look
consistent, would it not be well for them to
petition our Legislature at its next session
to exempt Cecil from the following clause
of the Act defining the duty of County Com
missioners?
" Art. %. See. o. They 1.-THE County
Commissioners shall make out and publish
annually in at least two newspapers pub
hshcd in respective counties, detailed,
minute and accurate statement of the cy.
pcnscs of their said counties, specifying
therein each purficulr item Of erpcnse, ani for
@.at ond 10 uhom paM etc, etc.
The concluding clause of this section con
tains the penalty imposed in case of neglect
of duty ON the part of officers which is

the duty imposed by this section. shall each

A NUlsANCE.-A lot of half grown
boys have for some tirrc past been in the
habit Of congrcgating along the causcway
and firing guns whenever they saw any per-
son approaching on horseback or in car
riage. Their ostcnsblc object is to shoot
reed and black birds, and to their enjoying
such sport we have no objection but when
a spirit of devitry prompts them to discharge
their guns for the purpose Of frightening
horses, the Town Commissioners should
put stop to their amusement If sports
men can tretrain from shooting while horses
are on the causeway they become nuisance
and should be abated.

Mrs. Harlan, the wife of senator Harlan of
Iowa, who has performed the part of minis
tering angel to sick and wounded soldiers
during the past year, recently returned to
Washington from the hospitals at Corinth,
whittier she went soon after the battle of Pitts
burg Landing. Her statement which is
strengthened by testimony from other sources,
furnishes topics for serious reflection as to
the treatment of this unfortunate class at the
west. Speaking of the difficulty of obtain
ing sufficient hospital attendance, she says -
"For some time past the regular surgeons
have been compelled to fall back on the old
army regulations of demanding a detail of
men from the ranks for nurses but the off
GERS have not been able to furnish the requi-
site number of men and this labor has con-
sequently devolved on the convalescing-th
sick and wounded, in the meantime, suffering
extremely for the most ordinary attentions.
And although our patriotic ladies all over the
land are plying their fingers day and night to
keepup hospital supplies of clothing, wagon

without the possibility of a change, in which
the poor fellows were compelled To live dav
ana night, until removed to their distant
homes or until they were ready to be carried
to a soldiers grave"
Yet loyal people, almost without number,
used to the climate, accustomed to mental
services, willing to work for their subsistence.
and praying to be received were harshlv
driven back from the lines, because they were
slaves. Mrs. Harlan adds -
II have been panied to see our poor sol.
diers, often really unable for duty, though re.
ported as conyalescent, for light duty, stand
ing guard around the houses and property Of
southern people, who were as disloyal to the

Gen. Mcclellan reinforced.

1t is generally mentionedin the newspapers
and therefore cannot be contraband news
that Gen. McClellan's army has been largely
reinforced. The Pennsylvania reserve, eight
thousand strong, has been sent there. and
MANY other regiments also released from 9TH
er service by the arrival of three months men
from New York and elsewhere. The Auburn,
IN. W Advertiser. while secretary Seward
was at home, made the following statement =
eve have good authority for the statement
that Gen. Mcdowell was ordered on Tuesday
last to reinforce General Mcclellan in
front of Richmond" The numbxr OF men
sent from McDowells command is stated
at 10000. The Syracuse Journal states that
several New York regiments haye been sent
to Gen. Mcclellan, and mention has been
made of the arrival before Richmond of sew
eral regiments from Gen. Burnside's division.
Gen. McClellan's army is likely to be strong
enough for any work it may have to do, and
ere long, we think, it will do something to
create sensation and drive the rebel leaders
to the last extremity of desperation.

fess Union sentiments TO save theH properly
and our Door Union soldiers, pale and enact
ated by sickness and hard fare, are required,
on account of this hollow profession OF loyal
tv. TO stand guard over their premises, with
out shelter, sleeping en- the ground or in the
wet grass, exposed to rains, heavy night dews,
and miasmatic atmosphere, which in many
cases develope malignant fevers, that require
them to be returned to the hospitals, from
which too many of them are never re-
moved until the poor, brave, uncom-
planning, noble fellows are wrapped in SOL
dier'S blanket, and, without so much as
rough coffin, carried by their comrades to u
shallow trench, which answers the purpose of
a burying place for the defenders of our iber-
ties and all we hold dear as a nation. And
while our brave Union troops are thus con-
tracing their death sickness in this loathsome
service, and dying by the thousands without
the most common coarse nursing, the hypo-
critical rebels are enjoying all the comforts of
home, under the protection of our soldiers,
whom they curse and spit upon, and betray,
and openly rejoice at their sickness, suffering,
and DEATH And when loyal negroes escape
to our lines, who would gladly serve in the
most mental capacity for their subsistence

kind of negro insanity, send them back tC
their rebel masters, to be whipped and tortur-
ed on account of their loyal proclivities."

CITY AND COUNTY,

FATAL RAILROAD AccIDENT.-The wife of
Dea. Otis Wallis of North Oxford was killed
on the Boston and Worcester railroad, yester-
day afternoon, under the following circum-
stances. She was intending to stop with her
husband and daughter at the Southboro sta
ton, but inadvertently waited in the cars till
the train had started. As she stepped from
the platform she lost her footing and fell be-
meath the cars, the wheels passing over her
and seyering one of her limbs. She was re-
moved to the station, where she died in few
moments. She was sixty-six years of age.
The accident happened on the half-past one
o'clock train from Boston. No blame at
taches to the conductor, as the train had
stopped longer than was usual, and it was
supposed that the passengers had left the cars
The inquest will be held to-day.

HARDwIcK.-We learn from the Barre Ga
zettc, that Mr.. and Mrs. Arson Ruggles, of
Hardwick, recently celebrated the fftieth an
niyersary of their marriage by a social gath
ering of relatives, neighbors and friends, en-
bracing nearly two hundred persons, at their
home. 1t is a remarkable fact that two broth
ers and one sister in this family have already
lived an average of over fifty years each in
an uninterrupted marriage state. Mrs Ste
phen West Paige, sister of Mr.. Ruggles, with
her husband, celebrated the fftieth anniver-
sary OF their marriage in October, 1860, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin Ruggles (brother of
Anson) will witness similar occasion next
November, if their lives are spared. These
three couples all reside in Hardwick, their
native town. In this connection we NAV add
that Daniel Ruggles, father of Arson, lived
with his wife Gfty-nine years, and Constant,
brother Of Daniel, saw flfy-th1ee wears of I'M
interrupted married life!
