UNIVERSITY OF New Rk.-The session
for lsG7 -GS of this University will begin on
Monday, October l4th, 1867, and continue
nntil the lst of March.
The lectures will be given in the building
adjoining the New York Hospital as they
were last year.
The graduates Of the University will per.
ceive at once the important advantages
arising from connection with this, the
largest Surgical Hospital in America. -
There were treated IN it last year nearly
1000 cases, more than half of which were
surgical. Owing to being located in the
midst of a dense population, the College
Clinics are carried forward on scale else.

The Hospital is open to students every
day throughout the year.
The number of graduates Of the Medical
Department is nearly 27OO, and the number
Of students has been more than 5000.
In addition to the advantages of the New.
York Hospital, the students of the Univer.
sity have access, on the same terua as the
students Of the other city colleges, to Belle.

surgical operations take place daily through

ter power in our county yet unemployed,
and every such water power would be profit
able if used as mandatory of some kind.
One of our chief wants is cotton and wooden
mills on large scae-something in the style
of the New England factories. Such mills
would undoubtedly pay largely on the CAPT
tai embarked, and benefit our county in an
amazing degree. We want, and must have,
mills and factories of every kind, or our
county will retrograde, and we continually
grow poorer.
The Susquehanna lumber trade is an i'm.
portant item in the wealth of our county,
1t has built up the fiourishing town of Port
Deposit, and increased the general prosper
ity of the county.
Some iron ore, chrome, and granite are
found in different paris of the county,
These mines and quarries need development,
when they would surely prove large source
Of revenue to us.
The class of settlers we desire is men and
women who come to stay, who come to do
us good and themselves good. No specu-
lators are desired, but men with money,
men with ingenious and educated brains,
men with Industrious, skiful and willing
hands. We want workers, not iders-there
are too many of the latter here now. We
want every one who is a man, and no one
who is less than that. We want producers
Of wealth, and no mere consumers. We
want those who will add to. everything good
that we have, and every blessing we enjoy.
There is room for them all. A splendid
climate, a bounteous soil, welcoming pco
pie each invites them.

Too Many Volunteers.

Inspector Gen. Jeffries, complains that
too many have joined the National Guard
and attached themselves to volunteer COM
panies, under the Militia law of this State,
and that they can't all be accepted. He
doesn't want any volunteer companies in
Cecil. He prefers that Cecil men should
pay two dollars. TIE Cecil companies are
otlicered by loyal men and not by returned
rebels; hence Gen. Jeflrles' distaste to Cecil
volunteer companies. Mr.. Jeflries under
takes to interpret the law to suit himself,
when he declares that volunteer companies
of this county will not be accepted. If they
are not accepted we would like to see his
rebel drill officer put them through their ex
ercse. Mr. Jelfries holds his Office contrary
to the law he processes to serve, the law
requiring five years residence in the State
and his residence here dates back only to
6@. The rebel programme is to force loyal
men to pay 50 and get the returned rebels
in the southern counties and in Baltimore
to form volunteer companies, and by this
means hold the State under rebel Military
rule. The bold ones among them in this
county don't hesitate 10 declare that the
object of the Militia organization is to be
ready to resist law Of Congress which shall
grant the right of suffrage to the negroes
We warn the Republicans of Cecil to be on
their guard. Form volunteer companies,
and pay no money into this fund to strength

BAY VIEW, August LIST, 1867


On Friday evening last, a cutting ARRAY
occurred at this place which came near
proving fatal. Jesse j. Riddle, an old cod
ger much given to intemperance, commenc.
ed without the least provocation, curs,ng
and abusing Mr.. John II. Janney. After
quietly taking this for n while Mr.. Janney
shaped fiddle on the face, when the latter
drew knife and cut Mr.. Janney in the
abdomen. DR.. Bentley was called in and
dressed the wound. Mr.. Janney has since
been confined to his bed but is slowly re
covering.
A volunteer company of 81 men, was
formed in this neighborhood, on Saturday
night last: The company is requested to
meet at Bay View, on Monday evening, Aug
9th, at 6 o clock.
A novel sight was presented one even
ing last week. A company of ladies passed
along the road, discorsing most deli ghtful
music.
The farmers have finished their harvests
and the yield of wheat, grass and oats has
been excellent. The corn looks very line
