THE NEWS.

The invasion of Canada by the Fenians last
week was the absorbing topic ofintercst for q
few days. The actual forces engaged at one
time were yariously estimated, but did not
certainly number more than few thousand,
if so many. The leader of the chiefraid, Gen.
O'Neil, was arrested in the presence Of his
army by the U. S. officers, fora breach of the
neutrality laws, and in default Of bail was
committed to prison. Some four other az
rests of subordinate officers were also made,
and the whole affair has apparently dropt
off into small parties who make "forages over
the border" but with no prospect of gaining

taken place. Gen Grant issued his procla-
nation forewarning all against violation of
the neutrality laws, and has also sent forward
U. S. troops to the localities selected as gath
ering places by the Fcnians, to see the laws
executed. Gen Meade and others are on the

THE Corn CRop-So far as we have been
able to learn, the corn crop in this section
come up evenly and regularly, and looks well.
No complaints have reached us of cut-woms,

BALTIMORE, June LIST, 1870.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The subject of the
Congressional nomination to succeed our
present able representative, Hon. Stevenson
Archer, is freely discussed. Our choice is
DR.. Henry S. Hunt, who resided with us in
the I'd ward twenty-five years, but resides
now in Brooklandsville 9th district Balti-
more county. The DR.. is known through
out the Congressional district as a gentle
man of superior talents, good speaker,
and an able debater. We are sure he will
not electioneer for the nomination, but
would acceptlit if rendered him. We be-
leieye he would poll larger Democratic
and Conservative vote than any man in the
district. We need now not the busy poll
tician, but man of ability and strength
in our nominee. We therefore cast his
banner to the breeze for the nomination.

The Maryland Central Railroad.

The ordinance passed by the City Council
of Baltimore, some time since. granting the
aid of the city by endorsing the bonds of.this
road to the amount of 100000, upon certain
conditions, will be submitted to the voters
of that city on Tuesday, the 14th day of
June. We trust that the citizens of Balti-
more and Hartford counties, who are inter-
ested, will lend their influence to awaken an
interest in the city, and not suffer the election
to go by default, without any knowledge or
information in regard to the merits of the
work. Many voters in the city do not take
selves in regard TO the question submitted to
their sufrages, for lack ofany interest in the
matter.

Our colored citizens apparently are ex-
tremely "loyal." They have a grand pro-
cession almost every week; to-day they
are marching through our streets at the
beat of the drum, most all of them arrayed
in brilliant costumes and bedecked with
flowers. Two weeks ago they marched by
thousands and rejoiced over equality be-
fore the law" The effects of all this
marching are murder, want, idleness, theft,
&C., and an assurance that "every colored
citizen win vote the Republican ticket"

ford that they make extra exertions to be
present, as an extra time is expected.
An effort is being made by many of our
moneyed townsmen to construct an addi-
tional street railway in Baltimore, the
tracks to be laid on those of our highways
at present untraversed by the horse-cars.
Without doubt it would be great conve-
nience; but whether or not it would be a
success is question Of great doubt.

A LECTURE BY L. p. WHIPPLE.-It
ing columns of the HERALD that the next
lecture in the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION course is to be given at the Rut-
land Opera House on Tuesday evening,
December Goth, by Edwin P. Whipple OF
Boston. Subject, "Charles Dickens" 1t
is not often that our community is favor
ed with the opportunity of listening to
one of the first of American scholars and
writers of the class to which Mr.. Whipple
belongs. He is genial, careful and ele-
CANT writer, and a good speaker. He con-
denses more glittering thought and sound
logic calculated to arrest the attention,
impress the memory, and leave with his
hearers a substantial literary repast, than
almost any other of our New England
lecturers. The condensation of facts and
their elaboration in pleasing manner has
been his great work since entering
the literary arena. We have no doubt
that Charles Dickens in the hands of Mr..
Whipple will be presented in life-like APP
pearance, and with full appreciation OF
all his merits and dement's, and justly
weighed commendation and a discrimi-
mating criticism where necessary. We
can but advise our citizens not 10 lose the
opportunity to listen to this lecture. None
who have read Mr.. Whipple's writings
or Charles Dickens's inimitable works
will fail to hear Mr.. Whipple on this &C.
easion.

bushes. It was binding and stunning. l

felt Of it. It had two bullet holes, two
inches above my head. I dashed into the
bushes, when two men broke cover and
rushed upon me. They seized me, and
we struggled back into the road-they
trying to throw me down, and trying
to get my arms free. 1t was quite dark,
and we fought CALAMITY, when, like flashes
of lightning, two streams OF light shot
out, two sharp cracks were heard, and
my principal assailant fell. The other
was instantly seized from behind with as
perfect garrotte as ever was, and was
half strangled in second.
BY Jove, it was Emily! She had fol-

arm for No. 1, and severe foretaste OF
