Money.-The North East Building and
Loan Association sold, on last Wednesday
night, 81, 200 at % cents premium.
Religious B. F. Price, Pastor of

at St. Mary's P. Episcopal Church, North
East, on Sunday next, the 18th inst, at 4
o'clock, p. NJ, on which occasion the rite
of confirmation will be administered.
mpropr4ty.-The prevalent use of pro-
fame and obscene language in our streets,
on the bridge, and other places, by the
man of hoary locks, down to the boy of
ten summers, is truly disgusting to those
of moral and religious sentiments. Where
is the remedy? In the Gospel, or law, or
both A.?
Crop Prospects. seasonable rain the
latter part Of last week, greatly benefited
the growing crops.
Improued. P. Taylor's residence,
near the bridge, has been improved by
painting and new window shutters in front.

PORT DEPOSIT ITEMS.

On Tuesday afternoon the town was
startled by the cry of fire, and the Rcpub
lican club house was discovered in flames.
1t was occupied by West & Vannort, build
ing,-located in rear of Odd Fellows Hall,
and stood isolated. Origin unknown. If
there had been a high wind, it is probable
that our commissioners would now be in
Baltimore or Philadelphia, negotiating for
a steam fire engine. The old SUCTION was
out and proved her name to be no misno-
mer. Wonder if she would draw the green
stagnant water from the pools on Main
street, or open the railroad drain between
the depot and West & Carrolrs shop?
MIR. David Way Insurance Agent, left

FOURTH DISTRICT ITEMS.

The Weather.-The rain of last week has
enabled our farmers to finish up their corn
planting, in good season.
Improvements Mr.. Thomas Strahorn is
making quite an improvement on his house,
by way of poarches, lattice-work, &c.
Religious.-Rev. Mr.. Johns was prevented
by indisposition from preaching at the
Rock, on Sunday last. Rev. Dewitt
preached in his stead. Thele will be COM
munion at said church, on next Sabbath
morning.
Crops.-The crops are looking we'll, espe-
cially the wheat, and every thing seems
forward for the first of May.
Crushed.-Wm. J. Smith, an employee
at the Big Elk Cotton Mills, had the first
and second fingers Of his left hand badly
crushed, last week, while attending to

no injury.

COWS, in this District, the present spring.

May Day.-Quite party of our citizens
visited the fishing shore, on Monday last,
to see the sights and enjoy themselves.
They were very much pleased with the
trip, and report fish very plentiful.
Ancient Coin.-Wm. Truman found a
very curious Spanish coin, in the field of
Dir. Rittenhouse, while planting corn. 1t
is the size of Spanish quarter, but only
about half as thick. All the devices on it
are very plain; does not appear much worn;
bears date of 1717.
Cemetery.-Our last project is a cemetery.
This seems quite appropriate, as the propo-
sition to buy the Cheese Factory, Hall, and
Bank, in Potter's Field, made by CORES
pondent of the Rising Sun, seems at least
unkind; and should the idea of dispensing
with "wind" and running our town with
Octoraro water-power-by a telegraph
pump apparatus-bo adopted, we may at
least have the cemetery, but under the
wind regime, never.
Mooing.-Robert Mearns, of Zion, has
moved to town, and taken up his above
with us. Mr.. Fricke, machincst, has also
moved in from "Reub's."

Neao Mnister.-Rev. Mr.. Sullivan, the
lately appointed pastor of the NJ. p. Church
at New Leeds, preached his first sermon,
on Sabbath morning, Esd ult., to an atten-
tive and appreciative audience. Mr.. S. is
apparently talented young man, and will
no doubt prove quite an acceptable leader
to the little flock under his care.

ing month of August, the ladies of the
Union NJ. E. Church propose holding fair
