IIezekiah Caldwell, our widely-l>nown
and gentlemanly barber, is one of the Exc
cutive Committee of the, colored Republi-
cans of Maryland. We don't exactly see
how this is: Hezzie is evidently not of the
right stripe for Republican. He was an
earnest sympathizer with the South during
the war, clings with a wonderful tenacty
to every vestige of the old slave aristocracy,
is in favor of sending the "niggcrs out
of this country and colonizing them in
some barren and uncivilizcd land beyond
the seas, and as to their voting-won't hear
to it. Hezzie is certainly in the wrong po-
in any particular we stand ready to correct
them.
On Tuesday last, a small boy, named
Barber, was handling pistol, when the
weapon Went off, the ball tearing his pants
and the powder burning his leg. Quite a
number of boys are in the habit, we under
stand, of carrying pistols, with which
they amuse themselves in frightening theil
companions. Parents had better see to
this.
A welcome visitor-Old Sol, who came
to town at break of day, on Friday, with
smiling face and beaming countenance,
casting halo of light and beauty over the
landscape, and causing all nature to rejoice
at his presence. Ahem.

Mr.. Joseph F. Terrell butchered fat
COW, which was fed by p. C. Strickland,
on Thursday night last, which weighed 720
lbs dressed, which he pronounces the lar

says, also, that the beef was as STAT as but
ter and as tender as Spring chicken, y
two very desirable qualities ina beef. The
beef will be in the store for sale this morn

Rising Sun Items.

We noticed, not long since. that cor
respondent from Chesapeake to your col
umns excused her omission of one week S
letter by stating that Chesapeake was ''not
dead but seepeth."
One might suppose Rising Sun was dead
and buried, for SO seldom has she a right to
claim note among your locals, or rath-
er SO seldom are her contributors seen
there. Yet this is not the case: Rising
Sun. though not troubled with progression,
is still alive. and each week brings around
its usual business, duties, sorrows, joys and
pleasures.
Our railroad facilities are now in accord
ance with our demands, and the "Balti-
more Central has at last, in 4 measure,
fulfilled the intent of the name it espoused,
communication with Baltimore and return
daily being now complete. Business on
the freight train has been excellent since
the new arrangement, and the rolling stock
detailed for the use of the new addition,
has as yet been inadequate to fulfil the de-
mands made upon it, notwithstanding our
long freight trains at 1928 each morning,
remind us of greater institutions, and for
the time almost think we are visited by
your grand double-track P, W. & B. r. r.

convince any one who will notice, that our
land is in good condition, and our farms
lack no want of cultivation. The cold and
backward Spring has had its effect here as
elsewhere; yet fruit seems to be promising
generally. Strawberries are offered in
abundance. and are now rating low.
Rev. T. l.. Poulson, G.W.C.T. lectured
to quite creditable audience in this place,
on Monday evening last, 18th inst, upon
Temperance, and our duties to the cause.
His discourse met with general approval,
being good humored and mild in his re-
proofs-seem to work upon the principle,
''speak gently to the erring." Mr.. p. is
now laboring earnestly for this cause in
which he is officially interested. He rep
resents the interest of the Good Templars,
especially, being now the head of this noble
order in our State.
Our borough, at the usual time, elected
new Commissioners, which we see are
gradually making their works visible, and
we expect of them good report for the
coming year. IT'S well they did not ne
glect the trimming of our sidewalks any
longer. or through your columns Mr.. E.
we might have been compelled to call their
attention to the same, as We seemed to find
that duty necessary last year.
Summer has brought with it its outdoor
sports, and that most worthy of all games,
"Croquet,' still holds her place as the
most popular, so desirable for the
ladies, and none the less so for the Lords
Of CREATION
Trout fishing has been rife too, of late
and some of our townsmen have been very
successful. Although having sometimes to
go some distance, this animal having grown
quite scarce this last few years, yet in most
cases their effort would be crowned with
at least a few dozen of these active and
handsome representatives of finny tribes
that inhabit the ripping streams of our
meadows Yours, &c., LEON.

Cat Swamp Items.

Tile Projected RaHr0ad.-In former items
we have referred to the Importance of this
locality, but it seems Dame Fortune is
about to bestow upon us still more honors,
which will serve to give us greater promi-
nence. 1t is not enough that we can boast
Almshouse, and the soubriquet of Cat
Swamp but the route surveyed for the
new railroad from Delaware City, passes
directly through these regions, across the
farm of Hon. Hiram Mccullough, and
thence making Il ''bee line to the Iron
Works. We understand the Honorable
says he would not have the road so through
his property for 100000 in greenbacks.-
AS the line has been surveyed preparatory
to building the road, we presume Mr.. NJ.
will accept said remuneration, when offer
ed, in consideration of damages sustained.
PolHicdl.-Ever since our Hon. Exon
gresham first occupied a seat III the Ma
tional Legislature, the desire for official po-
sition has been manifest. Next to seek foI
Pluck, who now presides over the ninety
and-one paupcrs at the County Almshouse:
and following in his train, was our worthy
and much respected citizen, Thos. McNeal,
who aspired to the Office of Road Super
visor. And, by-the-by, few better officers
than he can be found, and if Cecil Co. had
more like him, the roads would be much
better than they are. AS much can be said
of Jos. II. McNeal, the efficient and atten-
tive Trustee of the Cat Swamp School.
The Iron Works.-A change has beer
made at our Iron Works. AS The Via
stated, they will hereafter manufacture
sheet iron only, the puddlers having gone
to North East, where they can indulge theil
pudding propensities if not in more con-
genial cline, certainly in much higher
pressure of atmosphere.

will hold pic mic in the grove of Hon. ii
Mccullough, on Wednesday, 10th inst. A
good time is anticipated, and somebod,
will be disappointed if it is not realized

Lay Delegation.-Itw was announced from
the pulpit, on Sunday last, that the vote of
the members of the Methodist Church of
this town, would be taken on Monday, the
29th inst, between the hours of and 9
o'clock PM, for OF against Lay Delegation.
All members of the Church, in full connec-
ton, male and female, are allowed to vote
on this occasion, who are 81 years of age.
Many of the ladies will therefore cast their
first vote this year. Of course no unnar-
ried lady will deposit her ballot, as she
would thereby acknowledge herself to be
over eighteen.

Chesapeake and Delaware Capal.-The


business on the Chesapeake & Delaware Ca

per week. Over a million of baskets of
peaches are expected to be shipped through
