THE IIAvRE REPUBLICAN.-After srs-
liran, comes to us greatly enlarged and i'm
proved. We are glad to see this evidence
of success upon its part, not only because
of our friendly feeling toward the enter
publican paper published in benighted Har
ferd. Friend McCombs has the ability to
edit, and the energy to run, a good paper,
with such encouragement as he should but
reasonably expect, even from the handful
of Republicans in that county.

Lecture.-Mr l.. W. Butler, q young
man Of much promise, a native of Della
ware, lectured in the Hall on Wednesday
evening last-Subject: The Dark and
Bright Sides of NEW York. 1t requires
concerted effort to get good audience for
a lecture, especially if the lecturer does not
come hearalded by reputation which has
been built up by years of effort in that
particular line of public speaking. Mr..
Butler has received many high commenda-
tons by the press, where he has lectured.
The audience was not large at the Hall on
Wednesday evening" but the lecture is
spoken of as credtable, and the youthful
lecturer gives promise of future promi-
nence in the popular and useful path he
has chosen as a profession. He delivered
his lecture last night at North East, and

Letter from Chesapeake City.
CHESAPEAKE CITY, Jan. &c, 10

CHESAPEAKE CITY, Jan. &c, 1870.
Mr.. EwING:-As you have been so kind
as to grant me so many favors in the col
umns of your valuable paper, l will ask
another. if You have room. Not having
heart of stone, neither sloth or corner
loafer,' on last Sabbath, it being the finest
day ever saw for January, overcoats being
of no use, took my bearer high top, and
wendell my way to the Presbyterian
Church, where every stranger is made o
feel himself at home. The ii rst thing that
grcets the eye on entering the church door
are the cheerful and appropriate notices,
.'Welcome to ALL 50 Our Church, Our
Pastor" while over the pulpit the three
heart-inspiring words, God is Love-
The church was well filled, the singing
charming, and the meledeon seemed to
fairly talk under the skillful touch of Miss
Julia Mariner, and the voices from the
choir swelled forth under the able leader,
J. NJ. Reed. The voluntary was grand;
Mrs. l. Ethcrington leading in the soprano.
Unlike Ike Partington, | carried neither
pencil or paper, therefore cannot give you
the text. But twas one suited to every
case in the congregation, and was very ably
handled by the pastor, Rev. c. Mallery.-
His advice to the young converts was the
ablest that has been delivered in this town
for years Mr.. Mallory scenes to be a
man called by God for this place; for when
he first began his mission here, about five
months SINCE the church had dwindled to
almost nothing. But truth " will prevail
and right conquer might so the congre-
CATION through him has revived, and it
is at present one Of the finest since the or
ganization of the church. Humble minded
as little child, visiting the poor and affiict-
ed, always willing and ready to speak and
do good; his name has become watch
word, his memory talisman. God bless
him and spread his work is the earnest
prayer from every heart and lip. May the
ranks of his army soon be filled with SOL
diors marching on to Emanuel's ground
with armor, shield, and breast-plate of
righteousness. If you, or any Of your read
erS, happen to be in our nice little town. l
would recommend you to hear him. Here
you will be made welcome.
also visited the NJ. f. Sabbath School,

count of in my next. Yours, T. p.

The Public ROads.-Now is the time for
those interested in road affairs to examine
and find out what roads are the wort for
neutrality-suspicious. the mud is deepest, and
where the roads are dryest. Many useful
lessons might be learned by an examina-
tion Of the public thoroushfares this Win
ter. Mud reads will be found knee deep,
while those composed of gravel are dry and
firm, affording comfortable travelling, while
the former are almost impossible. A very
fair specimen of mud road may be found
between this town and Sites Mill, and
between Elkton and the bridge below Rick
etts' Mill, while those parts of the road,
between the town and Marley Paper Mill,
that have been graveled and which used to
be well nigh impossible, are at present firm
and dry. And the fiat between Hill, Har-
Ian & Co.'S Mills and Mr.. Creswell's gate,
which has been graveled within the last
year or two, and which previous to that
was perfect bog, is now as smooth and
dry as an ordinary turnpike.
w hSH ShiIH ~ III yihS cNh 'thi puoiiC liz
jury as the mud roads that lead into this
town from all sides, might be so readily
aud permanently remedied, it is a matter
of establishment that the people-or those
who have the responsibility of the roads
| resting upon them-should endure with a
| species of grumbling patience long
There is plenty of gravel all round the
town to make every road smooth and dry.
And for the money that is wasted upon
these roads in ten years. to make them no
better at the end of that time, they could
be made firm and dry forever, costing but
trif1e yearly to keep them SO. What a
horrid piece of road that is from the town
| to Sites Mill. and all about the creek there
is gravel enough to make ten times that
extent of road as smooth as park carriage
/ way.
All that is necessary would be for the
Commissioners to publish for proposals for
some contractor to do the work.
\ track twelve feet wide would be amply
! sufficient to accommodate the public. This
could be gradually widened in the future
! by additions of the same material. All
the roads centering in the town, which the
whole people of the county are compelled
to use, and generally at the worst seasons,
! could be made permanently good in the
| same way. If the system was once adopted,
everybody would be in favor of it, and it
would extend throughout the entire county.
/ There is but one way to get work done,
now days, and every practical man must
admit it,-and that is to make the contract
ing parties wholly responsible for its proper
performance.

and then fired it. to conceal the burglary.
There was an insurance on the goods Of

at $4,000.

Dead HOrse.-Three horses belonging to
Mr.. T. B. Marrett, Of this town were left
locked up in their stable three days dnring
the early part of the week, without feed or
water. The coered ostler who had the
care of the horses, appears to have given
up the job without giving Mr.. Marrett
notice of his intention to leave. One of
the horses which was old and not in high
state of "keep,' got down in the stable
and was unable to rise without help; and
died from the effects of neglect. The loss
pecuniarily was not great. but it was
shocking oversight to leave the poor beasts
to starve without food or water for three
DAYS.

Runaway.-On Sunday afternoon last,
as Mr.. 7. JEFF. Bayart, of Elkton, and his
brother, William, were driving from St. Au-
gustine to Chesapeake City, they met with
serious accident. They had a young and
spirited horse, which was attached to an
open-top buggy. Just before reaching
Deshane's Corner, the horse, seeing another
team short distance ahead, started off in
a run. Before the driver could check him,
he turned suddenly to the left, at the place
named. and as he did so threw Mr.. T. jeff.
Bayard out, landing him a considerable
distance, flat on his back but doing him
no injury. His brother still remained in
the buggy, but not being able to get hold
of the lines, was powerless. The horse
continued running for a few hundred yards,
when he brought up against the fence,
throwing William out and injuring his
head and knee severely, and completely de-
molishing the vehicle. The animal then
disengaged himself from the wreck, and
after proceeding a little further, was
caught by DR.. Jos. Y. Wallace, whose car
riage was the one preceding. The buggy
demolished was a fine new one, and will be
considerable loss to the owner Mr. VIM.
Barr, livery stable keeper, in Elkton.
