HAvRE DE GRACE, July 9Th, 1869.
Our town has been visited of late by
number ofstrcet shows; one of which was
a man with any number of nasty snakes,
which he handled with as little dread as
boy would piece of bread and 'lassas.-
He gave an illustration of a man when he
has the bugs and snakes on him, by wind
ing them, some twenty or more, around his
head. 1t must be awful if a fellow looks or
imagines he looks like that.
Another was two men, Italians, with a
bear, who performed number of tricks to
the great amusement of the children but
unfortunately he put his head in door too
suddenly, which threw little girl in q
spasm.
There have also been number of boys
with Violins and harps, making melody;
and the pennies at the same time.
Monday was kept here to celebrate the
4th July, and passed off very quietly, all
the stores being kept open, which did not
look like any holiday was anywhere near,
but the train from Baltimore about II
o'clock, brought up large crowd, who all
went to Port Deposit, where there were in
ducements for the people to come a, d
spend the day and their money also. 1t is
SAID that some Isl, $40 was SILENT there by
the crowd, which, with little energy,
might have stopped here, had the people
made arrangements for u dance or any
amusement for them. l understand the
day passed off without Amy accident
but few of the strangers succeeded in get
ting in the lock up, as Captain Lager was
too much for them.
l hear that at Darlington they are about
to start all the mills again. They have
our best wishes for their success.
The coal is beginning to cone down the
canal rapidly, so there is no fear Of want
Of supply. W1LsE.

THE ALANTHUs TREE.-We heartily en-
dorse the following from the Easton Journal,
and recommend it to the consideration Of
our readers, having suffered in common
with others in this town, from the nuisance
complained Of Bel Air, as wei! as Easton,
has some Of these tree5 remaining, although
their number is diminishing, and rapidly
giving place to maple and other more beau
tfful varieties. We notice bYt very few
alanthus trees III other localities in our
county, and hope that they will shortly be
numbered among "the things that WERE
The Journal remarks
''lhe poet says there is nothing in Il
name, and that "a rose hy any other name
would smell as swpet,y.n This may all be,
50 far as the rose is concerned, but to call
the alanthus the Tree of Heaven is a
stretch of poetical imagination not war
ranted in the case. We have many of
these shade trees in our town, and just now
they are in full bloom. There is no beauty
in the flower and the odor emitted is of
the most offensive, sickening character,
filling the air for fifty yards around it
The noxious odor is regarded as decidedly
unhealthy, and in many parts of the county
the tree is not permitted to grow. Why
any one should take such a fancy to the
tree We never could see and why it is
permitted to grow in any town or village
is mystery to US. Ifthere is any authori-
ty for so doing, we would like to see an
ordinance passed to remove every one.
LET us away with the NUISANCE ane

The H0l.ccsfs.

II is truly refreshing to turn away for
the time from the more disturbing and
harrassing turmoils of politics and the
thousand artificial oxcitements connected
Herewith, and view the evidences of ma
terial prosperity and plenty that the abun-
dant harvests of the present season present
on every hand. Nature, fortunately for lis,
sends her increase, though our rulers admin
lister the trust of government committed to
their charge well or i'll. He that cultivates
the soil as he should do, will receive most
probably the increase bis toll merits, ire
spectiyc of aught else than the faithful or
sluggish manner in which he prosecutes his
labors We have cause to congratulate our
selves, in common with the rest of the coun-
try, at the abundant yield that seems eyery-
where to be well nigh assured to the farmers
of the land. In this county the farming in.
terest is, of course, great one, and nowhere
else has the march of improvement stamped
itself more indelbly and plainly to the most
casual view, than here The increased and
increasing prices Of our; land are not alone
owing to the state of the currency or the
price of gold, they are due as well to the ac-
tual Improvement that has been made in the
farms of the county, and the increased pro-
dpctions yielded by them to the farmer. The
last assessment plainly shows this and the
demand for our lands as plainly shows, too,
that We are assuming an advanced position
among the counties fthe State in material
wealth and agricultural reputation. And
we will continue to increase as our facilities
for transportation multiply, as we believe
they are destined to do at 10 distant day
Surely we cannot afford to be isolated from
the world and lose the reward that our efforts
have claimed. But We will not press the
subject here, and cordially do we congratu-
late our farmers upon the prospects of the
present fruitful year.

Letter from Richmond.

correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette
RICHMOND, Oct. S.-The caucus of the Con
seryative members OF the Legislature last night
agreed TO support and pass the bills ratifying the
14,b and 18Th amendments to the Constitution
Of the United States. 1t being thought the part
al wisdom to do nothing to prevent the restora
,ion Of the State 20 the Union if by complying
with the absolute requirements Of Congress, that
nbiect can be effected, The task Is not an
agreeable or easy one, as a willy Toe. whose
head is in Washington, has to be encountered,
mt great caution is observed, and it Is thought
that the desired end may be obtained, and
Virginia be lifted from the slough OF despcnd
into which she has been cast by her bitter and
unrelentiDg foes.
On the passage of the bill ratiiying the l4th
amendment, in the Senate. there were four
votes in the negative-three Conservatives and
one Radical-the Conservatives objectlDg on
the ground that it might not be absolutely re-
cuiste, and that it would certainly pass with
out their consent. The objection OF the Rad!,
cal is inexplicablc, but significant. The Dill
for the ratification Of the 18th amendment was
adopted with two dissenting votes-one Con
servatiye and one colored Radical, who some
bow got off the track.
The Radicals are demoralized, and have 6y
their votes 10 Cay pdchtu Out VI tuS P01i'iO'
assumed in their protest, IN voting for and
taking part in the proceedings Of an illegal
body" .r.,.,
n,onts tho Legislature, by joint resolution, ad
;nurned until the lSth when it will reasscmbo
tor the purpose OF electing two U. ). Senators
Who they will be, time alone can determine.
After the adoption of the two amendments
by the Senate resolution pledging the Legls-
lature to again ratify if Congress shall deem 1t
necessary, upon the admission OF the STATE,
was offered by coored Radical, as an add
tional guarantee A motion to lay this rcsolu
ton on the table failed, and the question on Its
passage ordered, when Mr.. Snowden spoke
earnestly and warmly in opposition to its pas
sage, arguing that enough had been done al
ready. At the conclusion OF his remarks q
motion to adjourn was put, aud decided by TIE
casting vote OF the President in the affirm ttVc.
IN the House OF Delegates Major Kelley, o.
Frederick burg. offered an amendment to the
bill for the ratification OF the 18th amendment
to the effect that the ordinance should take eli
feet when the State is admitted to representa-
ton in Congress, but the amendment was lost
| There were six votes against the 18th amend
ment in the House.
