Chesapeake City Items.
CHEsApERKE CITY, Oct. 9Th 1865

CHEsAPERKE CITY, Oct. 9th 1869.
Editor Of Whg:-From the shades of the
Great Camden Camp, back to the quiet
little City of Chesapeake. From the voices
and faces of strangers back to the tireside
of relatives and friends. And not least
among my friends The Wing tho see the
Chesapeake items of late have become like
the steps Of our grandmothers, few and sell
dom, and | am fearful that the readers of
your paper have long since thought that
Chesapeake had ceased to be place of
note and that few of its inhabitants only
were left and none to write its obituary.
The first Monday in September the Pub
lie Schools were opened. The Bayan
School numbers % scholars, an average
daily attendance of 90. Through the wis
dom of the School Board the District was
divided cutting off ten scholars from the
Bayard School. The school at the Acade-
my is tlourish!ng having sufficient pupils
for two teachers.
The next in way of news is the nomina-
ton of Candidates for School Commission
ers. The selection was-Republican, T. b.
Hopper; Democratic, George r. Carpenter;
the Office not being very lucratiDe generally
goes begging. But being one Of the most
important, care should be taken thatsuit-
mind and judgement are sufficient to select
competent persons to teach.
Our merchants are thinking strongly of
going to the city for the purpose of pur-
chasing their Winter stock, so if Jack
Frost still turks around the black and red
plaids will take the place of the more
delicate colors.
The Good Templars are still alive and
through the influence of the order many
poor inebriate has become reformed, and the
tireside where storm and destruction seemed
to dwell, all now is sunshine, and smiles
wreath the face where tears before were
seen.
Four new houses are in course of cree
ton in Biddle street. Mcssrs Bowen &
Boulder are surprising the natives by
erecting large Granary and their accomo-
dating manner will secure large share of
the public patronage.
The Pulpit of the Presbyterian Church
is now being filled by the Rev. Charles
Mallory. Pleasant in manner and winning
in address, he has thusfar proved a general
favorite.
The good felix's at Pivot Bridge have
been holding an extra meeting for the past
few weeks. The most welcome visitors are
those who come in new silk dress and a
large rose on the bonnet. Shouting and
crying, as in days gone by, is looked down
upon. But of course this is an age of pro-
gression, and refinement here asserts it's
sway.
Croquet has been all the rage here this
season. The grounds about the Universe
list Church have been used for this pleas
ant sport very much to the disapproval of
the discounted, jealous old maids about
town. LENA.

RowlandSyille Items.

RowLANDsvILLE, 10th Mo-, lth 1869.
Friend E'cing:-Inasmuch as The Wig
has no regular correspondent from this
place venture to give few items.
The heavy rains last night raised the
water in Basin Run and Octoraro, nearly
as high as has been known for years.
The Railroad from Rising Sun to this
place has been damaged Considerably.
The county bridge over Basin Run near
Canisius's Mills is lying one end in the
stream. This bridge was built by the r.
r. Co., in a very indifferent manner. Now
the query is who shall rebuild, the Railroad
Co., or Cecil Co.? We think the former.
The mill dam at Canisius's is swept
away. We are not aware that any damage
has been done to the dam at the Iron works,
although several large trees passed down
the creek.
The roads are badly washed. What i. to
be done? No money is the cry from the
County Commissioners Where is that
nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand
dollars? Well perhaps it was 100000.

~ The following communication WAS
crowded out by the pressure of other mat
ter on our columns, the week after its re-
ceipt, and has been overlooked till now:
PTvoT BRIDGE, Sept. l4th, 1869
Mr.. Editor Our village and commu-
nifty, always noted for their peace and quiz
etneSS, have of late been the scene of con-
tention and excitement over the public
school located at this place. Since the 10th
of last November up to the Both of June,
| acted in the capacity of teacher to, and
for, said school and during that whole
time | never heard a single complaint as to
my mode of teaching, or of the progress
made by the pupils in their respective STU
dies under me. On the contrary, | have
heard from various sources, that the school
on the whole had been better managed dur
ing my administration of affairs over the
school, than it had been for number of
years before. And such was the unanimity
of the patrons at the close Of my last term,
on the Both of June, | gave notice to the
pupils that if | was living and well, would
take up the school again at the close of
vacation, viz,-the LIST of September. And
l also believe that every patron of nv
school unders TODD that l would still be
continued as their teacher, and such was
the belief until within four or five days
prior to the re-opening of the public schools
of this county-when 10 and behold the
news came to both teachers and patrons,
that another teacher had been appointed in
my stead, and the person who made the
appointment, had no more legal right to do
so than the President of Liberia has,
When I asked this parsonage in reference
to the matter, he replied that he was riding
through Chesapeake City, upon a certain
occasion, and was called into a place where
there were quite number of persons hold
ing meeting in reference to the public
schools, and among the matter and things
brought up for consideration, was our
school. He said that there were several
patrons of this school, who preferred
female teacher for their children. and to
make the thing unanimous, he voted for
lady teacher.
Now, Mr.. Editor that vast meeting re-
ferred to at Chesapeake City, consisted Of
two persons, and as we are not SO far gone
in ignorance and degradation as to be ruled
and governed by one man power, we have
resisted, and the consequence is, we have
private school here of about thirty scholars,
taught by one w. c. Lake, while the public
school, taught by a lady teacher, has but
six or seven pupils. l will give you more
particulars in my next. w. C. LAKE.

Serious lccidept.-On Tuesday morni

Serious AccideDt.-On Tuesday morning
last, Leon, little boy about four years old
and son of Mr.. E. B. Johnson of this town,
met with very serious accident. He and
an older brother were at their grandmoth-
er's, (also in Elkton,) and were at the stable
playing with the patent cutting box; and
while the latter was turning the machine,
little Leon placed his thumb where the
knives would come in contact with it. One
knife Immediately took off the thumb near
the first joint, when another severed it
entirely from the hand, above the second
joint. The screams of the poor little fellow
brought him assistance, when he was car
ried to the house, and DR.. C. M. Ellis sum-
moned. The physician was compelled to
saw off the bone, in order to bind up the
wound properly, thus making the third
time the member was taken off. 1t was
the thumb on the right hand, and must
result in serious inconvenience through
life; although being so young, he may learn
to use his left hand with as great facility as
he would ever have been able to use his
right hand. The patient is doing we'll.
