North East Items.

The fine shower that fell on Friday
of last week, started the wheat and
grass forward finely. The former looks
very promising.
The fishermen are catching her
rings quite freely. They are, as yet,
high in price, We have seen no shad
on our streets yet.
Rev. Thomas L. Poulson has been
returned as Pastor Of the NJ E. Church
here, for another year, greatly to the
delight of both the church and commu-
nifty.
A heavy northeast gale prevailed
throughout Monday, accompanied by q
copious fall of rain.
Good Friday and Easter Sunday
passed over in the usual way, in our
community. The former and Easter
Monday were enjoyed by those connect
ed with the Public School, as holiday,
in accordance with the school law.
We learn that an attempt was made
by some stragglers, on Sunday last, tc
break into some freight cars at our rail
road station. Being discovered, they
decamped.
Great interest is manifested here
in the Building and Loan Association
The shares are being rapidly bought
up, 1t will be grand success.

Colera Items.

AS you have items, of late, from
nearly all parts of the county, real or
imaginary, it seems proper that the
public should be kept posted in regard
to this place, which has but recently
had name, but is now assuming more
of the REAL, in all that is necessary for
the accommodation of the public than
some of our older neighbors.
We have as good platform and
depot as there are on the Railroad, and,
thanks to the Company for that; but
WHEN the trains will run through to
Port, and our NEW Agent enter on the
discharge of his duties, they do not yet
see fit TO inform the public Market
trains run down regularly, and take up
stones from the big Cut" and the
grain warehouse has begun operations.
In regard to what folks may in
tend to do in the Spring, we will let
you know when it comes.
We have not so fine hotel as
Liberty Grove has supported nor is
one in prospect. Neither have we an
Ardent Mans Club" which your
New Mexico Itemizer has so aptly
described, branches of which Club are
numerous elsewhere

BANDBox HOLLOW is situated Is of

furnishes power for four mills.
IMPRovEMENTs-Mr ID. Jenncss &
Son have had their old wheel torn out
and Turbine Wheel put in it's stead,
which speaks an increase Of business.
They also have circular saw, and
manufacture large amount of lumber.
Mr.. David Ray is preparing to erect
an additional building, for the purpose
Of storing hay and grain. Mr.. f.
Barnes erected barn last fall, so feet

extensive scale. Success attend them
Their first success was in Bandbox Hol

worthy of imitation.

Letter from Pivot Bridge.
Pivot BRIDGE, March 3lst, 1S6

Pivot BRIDGE, March 3lst, 1869.
Mr.. EDITOR In the last items |
sent you from this place, | stated that
there was no rum shop in our village,
and such is the fact But not many
miles distant from here, there is Il
place where the intoxicating poison is
dealt out by the single drink, or by the
larger quantity. ! understand that the
proprietor of this; rum establishment
was fined, and his license taken from
him, by the Court rcccnti:- held at Elk
ton, for keeping a disordcrly house; and
yet this same Court granted him the
privilege of a renewal of his license,
provided he couls get sufficient num-
Der of the sober and respectable free
holders of his immediate vicinity to
sign petition to that effect Well he
tried, but did not succeed. But he con-
Guided it would never do to give it up
so. SO off he goes to a neighboring
town, " almost two miles distant from
his grocery" and there be succeeded in
getting Sufficient number of si@ncrs
to his petition to secure a renewal OF
his license to sell poison to those who
desire to drink it.
If l am rightly informed some of the
parties that signed his petition are pro-
fessors of religion and men of influence.
Now, Mr.. Editor, don't intend to say
word against the rum-seller, but | do
want to say few words to those men
who lend their names and influence to
an evil that is cursing our race, and
sending sixty thousand of our fellow
citizens to drunkard's grave and Il
drunkard's hell. How any man, pro-
Tossing to be christian, can conscien-
tiously and deliberately sign petition
to sell that which he knows is all injury
to his fellow man, is more than | can
understand. Is it any wonder that this
cursed evil, intempcrance, is on the in
crease in our land, when men of wealth
and of high social position in society,
yea, and men who profess to be gov
erned by the principles of christianity,
give their aid and influence to the spread
ing and perpetuation of this dreadful
scourge that is filing our land with
widows and orphans, hindering the
cause of education and religion, and
destroying intellccts that would benefit
the human race to the latest posterity
Oh! what inconsistency, for men who
by their theory preach to mankind to
be temperate, and by their practice and
influence, teach them to become drunk
ards. do not think that when all
mankind shall appear before the great
Judgment seat of Christ, that the rum
seller will have to answer for all the
crimes committed by and through in
temperance but l doubt not but
there will be thousands who will rise
up and condemn many who have been
professors of religion in time, but who
through their influence have led many
from the path of duty and sobriety, In
to the broad road that lcadeth to de-
struction.
The people have the power within
themselves to put a stop to the manu-.
facture and sale of ardent spirits, and
consequently to intemperance, and all
the evils incident thereto, and there
fore contend that greater blame rests
upon the people generally, than upon
the rum-vender. OCCASIONAL.

boast of any new-fangled isms,' and
nv poor Pegasus always pauses at the
FOOT of Parnasian nights, and coaxins
or sternness avaiIeth nought to lead
him on to the summit. | first will re-
view the TIT-nlTs of Snapper's letter,
but as to the greatness Of the place and
people, time alone can tell, and let us
wait with patience until the completion
of the long-talked-of railroad. And
why should Snapper NEEDLE and con
Germ himself about the ecccntricity Of
the teachers. Have any Of them given
him the mitten? From the iGcdpcn-
dence of her character, | am inclined to
think Miss 3. is able to hold up her
own hands and wherever she sees a
field of labor, abe will venture, trying
to strew flowers, that in after years
their fragrance may be inhaled by those
who can appreciate her labors, and
when her Lord and Master calls for the
one talent, it shall be given with an in
crease of hundred fold; and for a
further demonstration, just visit the
Bavard School. l really think that the
back closet of Snapper's soul has jeal-
ousv written on the door, and the said
door has been opened little too wide,
from the tone of the letter Now, if
Miss b. was young, handsome, witty,
talented, and last-though not least
wealthy, Snapper might have cause for
venting his spite; but being nothing
but plain, unassuming person, it seems
too bad that she should be thus assailed
in such an impolite way, and if it suits
Miss B. TO start a library in town, sue
cess to her Why may not Chesapeake
boast as great as any other sister town,
what kind of reading matter would
suit the masses; wonder if Snapper in
cludes himself with the mass, or does
he stand aloof like the Phariscc of old,
saying stand back, | am holier than
thou"
/ have understood that some of Miss
BIS friends in the First District regret
the publishing of Snarper's letter; while
some of her acquaintance, who think
Miss b. egotistical said she was scrv-
cd just right" Now the latter need
not distress themselves; the teacher of
the Bayard School can "hoe her own
