Saturday evening they filled Abrahams
Hall, to listen to Mr.. l.. w. Butler, of Phil
adelphia; and on Sunday afternoon the
body of the NJ. f. Church was crowded tt

and the benefits of total abstinence. Mr.
Butler has a good vice, unmodulated, and

Rev. A. A. Willetts, Of Philadelphia,
proposes to deliver lecture on the 18th
inst. Subject: Sunshine, or the Secret Of
| Happiness" The press, generally, has
proved his panegyrist, and some folks look
| for a rich treat.
Runauay.-On Saturday last the horses
attached TO Mr.. George Poist's meal wagon,
while in the lower part of town, became
frightened at the sound of the locomotive
whistle, and ran off. Before proceeding
two hundred yards the driver colored
boy, pulled them toward the pavement,
when the bay fell over the pole, and in his
struggles to rise and free himself, cut his
mate upon the left hind leg, causing a
pretty liberal effuson of blood.
Streets.-For an almost indefinite period
our streets have been little better than the
celebrated crossing in your town of Elkton;
latterally, however, our authorities made a
move; men with shovels boys as carriers,
could be seen actively engaged transport
ing the surplus mud. This inconvenience
to pedestrians, was disposed of, and made
to help replenish the treasury of the Com
missioners.
4 Fight, almost, occurred under the eye
of Squire Cosgrove, on Monday evening.
The circumstance arose from teacher in
one Of the public schools, short distance
from this town, some ten days or two weeks
since, whipping a child of Mr.. Caldwell be-
yond due bounds. The child, when pro-
duced in tho Magistrates office, still re-
tanned the evidences in confused marks on
his person, of the severity of the punish
ment. A suit for assault and battery was
the natural consequence. Mr.. Carter was
the instructor. Some of the friends of the
respective parties became very warm, and
the peace was nearly broken.
Religious.-The protracted meeting of
the Methodsts have been discontinued for
season.
Postponement.-The extensive sale of Mr..
Chamberlain's personal property, which
was to have taken place on the 9th inst,
has been deferred until Monday the 14th
