GoDEY-We have already Godey's Lady's

long course Of forty years, to build up one
of the foremost and favorite fashion maya
zines of the country. 1t were needless to

summary of the contents of the number,
with glance at the colored fashion-plate,
which is always fine, and in this respect no
former number of the Book has surpassed
the present. The best advice we can give
our fair readers is, at the commencement
of the year, to subscribe for Cooley. For
ward $500 to L. A. Cooley, S. E. Cor. of
9th and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, and
for one year you will DO thoroughly in

I'VE have abridged Payers 3" arti-
Gle somewhat, by curtailing some of the
personal reflections not german to the SUBJ
ject, and it would be much more potent on
the public, were its tenor still less SO. We
request that in discussing questions which
are of public nature-and everything per-
tanning to the public school is-that all per-
sonalitiss, not necessary to a full under
standing of the merits of the question, he
dispensed with, and that writers cenfine
themselves strictly to tine facts necessary to
properly elucidate the case. Long articles
are not admired by newspaper publishers
or readers, where an article of half the
length would contain all the facts if well
put.-ED.l

Chesapeake City.
Tho toacn forty years ago-Then and noe
Business, Improvements, etc.

The place at which 1 mail this communi-
cation is Chesapeake, busy town of twelve
hundred inhabitants, at the western termi-
nus Of the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal,
and about six miles southeast of Elkton,
the capital of Cecil county.
Chesapeake City has history of forty
years. 1t still retains, in central stua-
ton, the house first erected within its linn
its, and gentleman now walks its streets,
who remembers when its site was covered
with trees.
For several years, little or no business
worthy of mention, was transacted here
but recently new impetus has been i'm
parted to all branches of trade and labor,
justifying the expectation that Chesapeake
City is to become the mechanical and mer-
camille mart for all this section of country.
The enterprising firm of Bowen & Boul-
den have recently opened large and sub
stantial storehouse, as depository and
market for grain, flour, meal, salt, coal, &c.
Quite number of dwelling houses arc
in course of erection, in different parts Of
the town, and several new residences have
taken the places of those destroyed by fire,
which occurred here some months ago.
Our Masonic Hall is not yet out Of the
hands of the painters and plasterers. 1t
will be quite an ornament to the place. 1t
will be useful as affording store accommo-
dations for several merchants, besides
convenient place for the weekly meetings
of the Lodge, but most of all, as furnish
ing a comfortable and commodious room
erings.
1t is proposed, at or before the compile
ton of the Hall, to invite the ex-stage ac-
tress, and anti-stage authoress, Olive Logan,
to lecture us upon " Woman's Rights and
Woman's Wrongs" but as several of our
young ladies, who heard her, recently, in
Elkton, came homo with minds muddled,
fuddled and added by the subject, in tho
name of the fathers, brothers and beaux Of
Chesapeake City, in particular, and of suf-
fering humanity in general, we protest.
While there is an unswept house, an I'M
made bed, an un-combed child-talk not
of woman's rights. While there is all un-
sewed button, an unwashed shirt, and an
unloved husband-talk not of ,con,an' 8
wrongs.
The lot recently occupied by the Acade-
my has been converted into public park.
So far SIS we are informed, the commission
ers have not decided whether to call this
resort, Central Park, Prospect Park, or to
name it after one of their own number
1t is generally conceded, however, that 10
one man has benefited the town sufficiently
to merit such an enviablo distinction The
following propositions have been made, the
latter of which will probably prevail to
name the park after the original settler, or
after any individual who contributes tho
largest sum of money for town improve
ments. A glorious opportunity for one to
immortalize himself. Who bids first?

ne-In Cincinnati has just been decided that
has perfect right to mems clothes much rs
she pcascs There need for any such legal decision
as that, anywhere about here; for RocKmLL & WILSON
make masculine garments, delightfully."- adapted to the
men, that tho ladies', instead of wanting to them
themselves encourage the men-tolks to buy them.
And all the hest here and ereaLouts

How Rockhill Wilson manage to sell cheap
they do, we don't know.
And so and all readers continually do tirong

hardly anybody considers trip to the city fully accom-
pshed unless suit from the GREAT BROWN HALL is

Fire.-Onc of the most destructive fires
that ever occurred in this neighbor-
hood, happened ON Tuesday last. At
about half past three o'clock in the after
noon, the residence of Hon. Hiram McCul-
Tough, of this town, was discovered to be
on fire. The house was Jorge three -story
brick, situated on his farm, at " Bell Hill"
two miles from Elkton, and in fnll view of
the town. At the time the fire was dis
covered, there were only two women and
child OF two about the house. Some ofthe
nearest neighbors seing the smoke soon ap-
peared on the scene, but the fire made such
rapid Roadway that it was impossible to
even attempt to save the building, and the
carried from the house and placed beyond
the reach of the flames, notwithstanding,
great deal of furniture and clothing of the
family were lost. Miss Ricketts,, sister-in-
law of Mr.. Mccullough, who was the only
white woman about the house, the other
being a colored servant, narrowly escaped
suffoeation and death to fearful to contem-
plate. In her efforts to save furniture and
in the excitement of the scene she was in
one of the rooms amid the flames and
smoke when Mr.. David Gilpin, one of her
nephews, discovered her and bore her out
of danger in his arms. Her hair was
scorched and her throat severely affected
by the smoke she had inhaled. The fire
made its first appearance in a room on the
south side of the kitchen over the porch,
which had been fitted up as conservatory.
A number of old books and other combus-
tible material had gathered in this apar;-
ment, which served as food for the flames,
which bursting out entered window Of
the main building, and driven by the wind,
in a short timo the entire house was in
flames. How the fire originated none seem
to have any idea.
There was an insurance on the building
of So, 500 in the Cecil Company and 50, 800
in a Delaware Company and 81, 900 on the
furniture and piano in the same companies
making in all $4,000. The building was
worth $4,000 at least, and the loss in
furniture will greatly exceed the amount of
insurance. The piano was rescued with
three legs broken off. One hundred and
fifty bushels of potatoes were stored in the
cellar which were all roasted. Miss Rick
etts' loss in furniture and other articles, we
understand, is considerable. The sufferers
by this sudden calamity have the warmest
sympathy of our citizens; and the catastro-
ply is fearful warning to all housekeep-
ers to be constantly on guard to prevent
every possible chance Of fire.

The Lectures.-Thosc who attended the

The LectnreS.-ThoSc who attended tho
lecture of A. A. Willetts, "The Model
Wife," on Monday evening last, as we
predicted, were richly compensated, and
notwithstanding the snow storm which con-
tinued through the afternoon and evening
of that day, making out of doors very
disagreeable place to be, the Hall was well
filled with an intelligent audience. Mr.
Willetts drew the ground work of his lee
ture from the last chapter of Proverbs,
which he wrought into a most pleasing and
interesting discourse. Willetts is model
lecturer, and nothing is more entertaining
than to sit an hour listening to his humor-
Gus comparisons, and close observations of
human nature. His pictures are SO true to
life that it were impossible for his audience
not to be captivated with his eloquencc.
On Monday evening noxt, 18th inst, DR..
r. Shelton Mackenzie, of Philadelphia,
will deliver the fifth lecture of the SERIES
Subject, "National character" which will
doubtless prove most interesting as we'll as
beneficial to the audience, the subject being
one that is of interest to all classes. At
the conclusion of the lecture Mr.. Macker-
zie will repeat a poem of his own compo-
sition, entitled, The Geraldine, containing
ninety lines, said to be very fine. 1t was
announced in our last issue, that the sixth
and last lecture of the course would be
delivered by Mrs. Burleigh, it being under
stood at the time that Mr.. Vandenhoff, who
had been written to by the Lecture Com
mittec, would not be ablo to give favora-
BILE answer. Since then, however, the Com
mittee have had some correspondence with
the distinguished clocutionist, and he has
been engaged and will read in Elkton, on
the 21st instant. 1t is needless to predict
an overlooking house on that occasion, as
