resident of Brick Meeting House, who has
passed the Winter in Florida, for the ben
eft of his health, returned to his fathers,
near this place, a few days ago. He is very

other health-seekers there we hear more
tiattering accounts.

THE NORTH EAST RUM TRAFFIC

We take the following extracts from
the communication of correspondent,
in reply to the article of " North End. ;"
We have omitted the larger part of the
communication, not having space for both
we publish one on first page-containing
in substance all that was relevant in answer
to the letter of "North End:'
North End says: Many pints of poison
were gulped down the throats of those who
twill have whiskey no difference what the
law may be-" We would here remak that
during the four years of prohibitary rule,
we never saw an intoxicated man in North
East, except those who were made drunk
at North End, on whiskey, clothed in a
ficticious garb of raspberry wine, cherry
wine, &c.
"North End" acknowledges rum to be
an evil; and if an evil, why does he pray
so hard TO have it sold in North East, where
all the drunkenness, quarreling, beastly
exposure and gambling is made public to
the eyes of children of both sexes. Perhaps
"North End" has no wife Or children; if
not, for mercy's sake have little respect
for your neighbors' children, who are sub
ject to be ensnared at any moment.
TIC tdlhS ABOUT Respectable notelS, he
never saw one where they make drunkards,
paupers and beggars. If you want to see
a respectable hotel, come out like man
and advocate strictly temperate one, and
the writer will be with you, heart and hand.
We can assure you nineteen out of twenty
of the citizens of the borough of North
East are opposed to your disgraceful policy
We have always been in favor of temper
ance hotel, and if the people of North East,
who claim to be temperate, would turn
their faces against rum as they should, we
could accomplish that object.
We are convinced of the fact that q
tetotal house could be sustained by paying
ordinary rent, and accommodating the
public and keeping private boarders.

BAY VIEW ITEMS.

i write to inform you that Itemizer
still lives, bat not having SO much spare
time as your correspondent league above,
will account for my seeming negligence,
and not being acquainted with all the dead
and live languages, makes it somewhat
difficult for me to give my items such a
learned appearance as the productions from
Zion. We still hold the same opinion in
regard to the morals of this immediate
neighborhood as before.
Rev. DIR. Eversole is returned as pastor
of our church for another year, to be as
sisted by a Mr.. Sullivan, as the Junior
preacher.
Changes-There have been more changes
than usual hereabouts this spring. Several
new beginners have established housekeep-
ing, and several families from distance
have come among us.
Flshing-Fishing season is at hand,
more engaged in it, | think, than usual,
but the demand will doubtless equal the
supply of the finny tribe. Already the
road is lined with wagons, mostly one
horse, principally from Pennsylvania
some from as far up as Reading.
Crops.-The wheat and grass look prom
Using. Some of our farmers are planting
potatoes. All are anxious to try the Early
Rose variety. Some have their oats sown-
the energetic of course.
Polhical.-The Democrats of this section
were quite .iubilant over the Sumner diff
Guilty, predicting total rout of the whole
Republican party, and on that account
would receive him to their bosoms; and it is
well to note that they received their infor-
nation through that same trustworthy
medium, as usual, the Cecil Democrat.
The Lau.-The case now pending in
Court known as the Naval alias Nevill,
creates much excitement in this vicinity.
Many of our citizens visited Elkton, on
Wednesday, expecting the case to come up
for trial

ReceptiOn.-The family of Rev. II. S.
Thompson, the newly-appointed minister
of the Elkton NJ. Z. Church, arrived on
Wednesday evening last and were cordially
received by the members of the charge
who rendered them reception. The ladies
met at the parsonage in the afternoon, and
prepared a supper, which was in waiting
upon the arrival of the guests. Some of
the Official members, with their wives, and
others OF the older members, were at the
parsonage to welcome the family, and to
sup with them. After tea the Choir gave
an entertainment, to which goodly num-
Der OF the young people of the Church and
congregation were invited, making, in all.
large and very cheerful company, to
extend a hearty greeting to the new pastor.
and to participate i'll the enjoyment of the
evening. The Choir sang several selec.
tions, with organ accomplishments and the
whole company spent the greater part of
the time in singing the songs of Zion and
in social converse. About 10 O'Clock IN
inviting repast was served, after the par
taking of which, prayer was offered, and
the company gradually dispersed. Every.
thing passed off in the most pleasant man
ner, and was the means of bringing the
pastor into contact with a large part of his
people, and establishing between them feel,
ings of mutual regard and friendship.

License NOtice.-In the notice published
by the Sheriff, concerned the taking out
licenses, will be found much information
which should be familiar to every one.
The Act prescribing the requirements for
"Ordinaries and Tavern Keepers, is con-
stantly violated in that part relating to
rooms, bedding and stabling. The Act
relating to Hawkers and Peddlers, it will
be seen, retains relic of the "black laws"
of other days. Section twenty-five :"
enacts that "No such license shall be
granted to any other than white person,
&C. which contervenng the Constitution
of the United States, becomes, of course a.
dead letter. 1t will be observed that the
North East license law is somewhat pecu-
liar, the power to grant or withhold license
being made optional with the Judge of the
Circuit Court.

Oxford, drank too much liquor, and after
getting in the cars to go home, got out as

for home on foot, along the railroad track
1t is supposed he laid down on the track
about mile east of Oxford, where the

ling the body of the unfortunate man in a
most horrible manner. The Oxford Press,
from which we derive the above facts, saws
the young man was an excellent mechanic,
and that day was the first he had been idle
for upwards of four months. Then he fell
