Letter from Chesapeake City.
CHESAPEAKE CITY, Aug, Cd, 1876

Q -'
EDITOR Wing Il ask place in YOUR
paper to make few truthful statements
There are some things here that we do like
to see and some we do not among the
former is sociability, and the citizens of
TINS town VINO were not too lazy, OF neglect
full, to attend the M. E. Church, on Sab
bath morning, witnessed this admirable
quality OF human nature. Rev. Mr.. Will
Ilams, OF Bethel, exchanged pulpits with
Rev. James Esgatc, of this town. OH that
day, to the satisfaction of both con@re~a' % e.,a'
tions. Mr.. Williams sermon to the saints
and sinners was very ably delivered. and
will not soon be forgotten by those who
listened to his earnest teachings. Nav il
be like the bread of life-gathered home to
some sinner in after days.
Our favorite is absent from his churcb.
recruiting his health among the Jersey
sands and sweet potatoes. He has been in
the habit, during the present warm season,
of preaching to the boatmen on the shore,
an act which is worthy the warmest praise,
as this is the first step Of the kind that has
ever been taken by any of our clerical
friends in this vicinity. May he return
improved, both spiritually and bodily, and
lead us, as in days past, by good counsel
and works, along the narrow, but safe high
way.
/ do not intend being too iron-fisted this
time, but there are some wrongs that will
not right themselves. A hint is sufficient
l hope but two ice-cream saloons in thi
town, kept by protesting christians, were
kept open until nearly one o'clock on Sun
day morning last, and the disturbance
caused will not be overlooked SO readil,
upon second offence. If better order il
not kept, their names will be handed to th'
Grand Jury of next term. Look out, salool
keepers, i'll the future Yet, word to til,
wise is sufficient.
Still on the lookout for all passing events

North East Items.

Temperance Pastor of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, Rev. #. L. Poulson,
announced that he would preach, by special
request, on the subject of Temperance, in
his pulpit, next Sunday morning:
Stunned by :Ltg'ttning-M John Armour,
OF Philadelphia, while sitting in the depot
at this place, during the thunder storm
last Thursday evening, was severely shocked
by the lightning, which entered the build
ing by the telegraph wires. He was not
seriously hurt.
The New Operations have been
commenced at the site of the new bridge
that is to be built over North East Creek,
on the Charlestown road.
Sickness. There is great deal of sum-
mer sickness among the children of this
neighborhood. Several deaths have occur
red.
The Ercursion.-The excursion by the
steamer Alice, of Port Deposit, on last
Wednesday, from this place, was very
pleasant affair. They went to Still Pond,
Kent county, Nd, and returned home at
an early hour in tie evening.
Base BdM.-Another game of base ball
was played here, on Saturday last, between
the North East club and the Newark DEL
club, resulting in a score of 80 for the
North East, and SO for Newark.
ImTrooement.-Th X. X. Company have
renewed and enlarged the platform on the
left hand of the road going south, at the
depot, in this place.
The Heated Term.-With us, the hot
weather continues, relieved, occasionally,
by pleasant breeze from the southwest.
lhe earth is parched, vegetation drying
up, and the blades of corn are shriveling in
the fields: The absence of rain doubtless
intensifies the heat.
Fhnerd5s.-The remains of three persons
who deceased at q distance, were brought
here on the cars this week and Inferred in
adjacent cemeteries.
p New Buildings. Mr.. Geo. McCullouch's
dwelling, on Main street, will be, when
finished, very fine, large and commodious
residence. Two other residences on the
proposed new street are also approaching
completion.

The Levy List.-Much of our outside
space is taken up with this, to the people
who pay the taxes, important statement
Many items of expenditure may be scanned
with profit, looking toward retrenchment
and reform in the future. The Bridge ap-
preparations at North East are among those
which look like bad management. Two
new bridges are provided for to be built in
addition to the very substantial one now
there. By making a short piece of road on
the opposite side of the creek, it is the
opinioun of many acquainted with the
locality, that the public would have been
better and cheaper served. Next year.
when the Republican party assumes con-
troll Of county affairs, it will be under
pledge Of retrenchment and reform.re-
form especially in the county road system,
which is the crying evil of the times.

STAMP YoUR REcEIPTs.-The law is
plain and positive on this subject, and we
do not see how any one can misunderstood
it or fail to comply with it's requirements:
but many do, for we notice that about fifty
suits were entered in the United States
District Court last week against parties in
Richmond city who had offended in this
respect Among the number are some of
the most respectable citizens, embracing
every class, who have occasion to give re-
ceipts in the amount required by law to be

The Mutual Building Association.

The Mutual Building AssOciatiOn.-Th
new Building Association of Elkton, found
ed on the permanent OF serial plan, and
called the Mutual Building Association of
Cecil County, met on Saturday evening
last, pursuant to adjournment, and perfect
ed it its organization by adopting charter
and bylaws, and electing David Scott,

The committee on subscription reported
five hundred and fifty shares OF the stock
of the first series sold. 1t is proposed to
sell thousand shares of this series.
The first payment to be made this Sat
urday) evening, and hereafter on the last
Saturday evening Of every month. I.
The Perma"e"t plan is now generally
acknowledged to be the best, new series
of stock being sold every year, so the num-
Der of shares may amount to several thous-
ands, thus consolidating in one company,
the business of many single companies,
saving much trouble and useless expense.
The New Jail.-This important building
is likely to become as prolific a theme for
g locals - as the "Old Jail" has been in
the,past.s The Commissioners on last Sat-
irday, completed an the preliminary ar
rangements to get to work on the building
as soon as possible. Mr.. Eli Sentman was
appointed to superintend the work for a
per centage of the eost-fve per cent; of
the cost, it u generally believed, is whaf:he
is to receive. Some of our prominent
builders complain that the Commissioners
"went back ON them - and on their word
in the matter of the superintendence, while
the "lcading men" of the town claim tha,
the Commissioners acted rashly and pre-
maturely in purchasing lot without con
sulting them in regard to the matter, ant
by so doing, were led into selecting a 10
which is only suitable to erect pig pens o

Coal Oil Lamps.--Fill your lamps by
daylight, and keep them well cleansed.
Never burn lamp when it is less than
one-half full of oil.
Never fill lamp near the fire.
Turn the wick down low before blowing
it out.
Keep your oil can in a cool place. Coal
oil is explosive when heated.
Don't let your children meddle with oil
or lamps.
If you want to blow yourself up, pour a
little oil out of your can on your fire to
start it.

Liquor Licenses.-We give below a list
of Licenses issued by the Clerk of the Cir
cult Court for the ensuing year, from the
first of May last, for the sale of spirituous
liquors in this county. The licenses for
hotels are graded by the rental value. In
comparing the rental value of many of
them with said value given Oh the same
houses to the Internal Revenue officer, they
are found to be, in the case of the county,
considerably less. This is business for the
Grand Jury to attend to- There are prob
ably some other shops in the county, where
whisky is sold, that have not taken out a
license. 1t is the province of the Good
Templars, we believe, to attend to this, and
where any such are found, to report to the
Grand Jury, in September

Census-Taking.-Taking the census
seems to have turned out less desirable
job than was anticipated by many of the
applicants for the Deputy Marshalships.
The newspapers publish numerous state
ments where tho original appointees refuse
to perform the work, chiefly on account of
the small pecuniary compensation allowed
for it.
In our own county, two out Of the three
Deputies appointed to. take the census
have declined, or are about doing SO. DR..
r. H. Tuft, who was appointed to do this
important work in the First Second and
Third Election Districts, declines taking
the First District. After having partially
completed the Second and Third Districts,
he has become disgusted with the business.
Mr.. j. Dixon West, who was appointed
TO- take the census of the Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth Districts, is ready to give up
the job when he has completed the Seventh
District. Here is fine chance for some
of our office-hunters to taste the sweets of
office. Rally round the flag, boys, and
file your :" claims with the Marshall Mr.
Goldsberough.

and F. Wallace Davis, was elected as regu-
lar representatives; and Mrs. Joanna Sloan
and Mary j. Davis, was elected as alter
mates.
The Grain CrOps.-The wheat crop of
the county is placed at not quite half an
ordinary crop and the grain inferior in
quality. The oat crop is good 1t was got
up i'll excellent condition, and is considered
by the farmers to be fair average CROP
both in quality and quantity. The corn
crop, generally, has every indication of
proving a superior one, though it is at
present beginning to suffer for rain. The
potato crop will also suffer If IL docs not
receive rain. Hay was a heavy crop in
the county; and with the exception of the
wheat crop our farmers have been thus far
successful. The loss of the wheat crop is a
serious drawback to agricultural interests
in this State, and one that all other advan-
tages will not compensate for; that crop
mainly constituting the money crop of the
farmer.

The PRUSSIAN PROTEST.

1HG Irussian Under Secretary of State, Won
II lie, has forwarded to Baron von Gerolt, the
Minister of the North German Union at
Washington, protest against the violations
of international law and the rules of civil
lied warfare on the part of the French by
firing upon the flags of truce. Herr Won
Thile mentions three instances in which flags
Of truce were fired upon, in one of which
the trumpeter accompanying the flag was
killed, and he declares that it will hence
force be impossible to send flags of
truce to nation whose soldiers
have lost in Africa, China, and Mexico all
recollections of civilized warfare. The sue
cession of disasters which have overwhelmed
the French appears to have frenzied their
soldiers as we'll as their citizens, and while
such barbarous behavior as that of which
they are now accused is on no account to be
excused, the probabilities are that the leaders
of the army are blameless in the matter, and
that the Prussisn flags of truce were fired
upon by over-zealous sentinels or pickets
The French Government has got itself into
sufficiently bad repute already with civilized
nations by its eagerness to begin
the present war without even
decent pretext, and it cannot afford to
bring itself into further contempt by coun-
tenancing style of warfare that would dis
grace sayages. The object of Herr Won
Thile in sending this protest to Baron Won
Gerolt was that he would communicate it to
Secretary Fish, who would forward it to
Minister Washburne, with directions to lay it
before the French authorities in his capacity
o. guardian of Prussian interests in France
during the continuance of hostilities. We
expect that as a matter of course the French
will promptly disavow what were probably
the unauthorized acts of private
aoidiers or subordinate officers, bat
