4 Man Killed By the Crs.-On Friday
morning, the 7th inst, the train south, on
the P. & b. c. r. r., ran over John
Knight, an old man, at the crossing near
McClennaham's Quarriss, at Port Deposit.
He ATTEMPTED to cross the track in
front of the engine and was ran
over and killed Immediately No blame
is attached to the engineer he being
unable to check the cars after Mr.. Knight
stepped on the track. When the train
came in sight of the unfortunate man, up
wards of a hundred yards distant, he was
standing near the track, but not on it.,
lighting bis pipe, which done he calmly
stepped between the rails and in moment
the engine was on him. The cowcatcher
caught and dragged him 80 feet, when the
wheels passed over the back OF his head,
crushing it to pieces.
On the same day ono of the brakesmcn
fell from a train, near Rising Sun, and
when missed by the engineer, the cars
were backed and the poor fellow found
lying at the foot of an embankmcnt, where
he had rolled, severely but not fatally in
iured.
Regigious.-The Methodists have been,
and are yet, carrying on series of meet
| ings. Prayer-meetings are held alternately
in the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches
at Z. NJ. and in the evening, preaching
and prayers at the NJ. E. P. Church at r.
Congregations large; audience attentive,
and apparently much concerned. But few
converts at present-christians hoping for
| more.
Lectures have been of frequent occur
rence-sone enlivened by music from on,
Brass Band. Phrenology took pretty well
but it is thought some gents who submitted
their craniums for examination, Aero not
we'll pleased with the public announcement
of their proclivties.
| Weather.-The ice-king, on Saturday,
notified his near approach, the atmosphere
growing colder every minute. On Monday,
| the bearded monarch had stretched his
arms from shore to shore of the noble Sus.
quehanna-but on Wednesday relaxed his
grip. At this writing the river is free OF
ice, except some floating particles from
! above.

Reltgious.-A protracted meeting is in
progress at Bethesda Church. Many have
professed religion, and quite number are
still around the altar.
Frre.-The barn and contents, together
with about 800 worth Of farming utensils,
belonging to Mr.. VIM. Grubb, of Fulton
township, was totally consumed by fire on
Thursday afternoon 9th inst. Mr.. Grubb
was in Lancaster at the time, and no men
about the place. The loss is estimated at
$4,000. Insurance 5000.
Bridge Meeting.-The stockholders Of
Conowingo Bridge held their annual meet
ing on Monday, but did not elect officers
for the ensuing year on account of little
excitement among themselves. More
anon. They declared dividend of IS cents
per share, and remodified the tolls.
R'rer.-The river has been quite high
for this season of the year. The chances
for ice look bad.
Accidents.-James Richey, while pointing
rails, near Bald Friar, cut his foot very
severely. Mrs. Warner, wife of J. G..
Warner, was thrown from buggy and Sc
verely injured, on Wednesday of last week.
The horse took fright-as she was in the
act of getting out of the buggy at her
