RIDGELY ENcAMPMENT, !. o. o. F.-On Monday
evening, 10th inst, Richard Dean, Grand Patri-
arch of the Grand Encampment of Maryland,
accompanied by Arthur r. Mcclellan, Grand
High Priest, John NJ. Jones, Grand Scribe, and
Mr.. Hoffmeis:er, Grand Junior Warden, paid an
official visit to Ridgely Encampment of this place,
for the purpose of installing their officers for the
present term, as follows G. p, Charles II. Mann ;
ii. P, Richard Parker; S. W., Thomas Murray !;
j. W, Samuel N. Whittle r. S., Lewis Vogle,
(re-elected y P.S., j. w. Vanhorn (re-elected j
t., August Loose, (re-elected.
The pleasures of the evening were heightened
from the fact that when Mr.. Mann assumed the
duties of Chief Patriarch, he stated that thirty
years ago he was elected to and installed into the
same position in Doylestown Encampment, Penn
sylvania.
Reference was made to the immense tide of
events and success which had marked the pro-
gress of Odd Fellowship from that time to this
and to the good that this benign order was now
doing. The new presiding officer was congratua-
ted upon the zeal which he had manifested in the
order for the past thirty years, with the hope
that he would long be spared to carry into effect
its noble principles. Upon the close of the ses-
sion of the Encampwent, those present repaired
to the Smedley House, where an hour was
agreeably spent around the festive board wheE
the grand officers returned to the city.
PARKToN AND MANCHESTER RAILRoAD.-The
Manchester (Md.) Gazette, in urging the com
pletion of this road, says:
"The mineral wealth of Carroll county will
be largely developed by Baltimore companies
Just as soon as they find that they have di-
rect means of conveying the same to the man
ufaetories in and around Baltimore. One ofthe
largest iron ore banks of the county is now be-
ing worked by Baltimore company. The
same company will lease many more banks as
soon as they find means of conveying the
products to their works. The Parkton and
Manchester railroad is the one most favored by
those parties, and certainly is the one to be OF
the most benefit to the farmers and shippers OF
produce generally, enabling them to make
Journey to the city, dispose of their produce,
and return the same day, thus saving much
time and expense. The Parkton and Man
chester railroad is now nearly half graded be-
tween Parkton and Manchester, and cannot
fail to be paying investment to those who
have or may take stock to it. All that is re-
ouired is for those who already hold stock to
pay up regularly their installments and thus
enable the matter to be brought to success
full termination, and those who are or should
be interested in the enterprise to take earnest
hold of the matter and put forth their ener-
gies in its behalf, and it is sure to prosper.
We hope our farmers IN Bachman's valley VIII
take calm and impartial view of this matter
and think of the interest it will add to their al
ready valuable estates, by bringing them in d.
rect communication with the great commercial
city of their own State, Baltimore.

BREAK UP OF THE Ice THE ONO AND OTHER
RIvERs.-The thaw caused sudden move of
the ice on the Ohio river at Wheeling and Pitts
burg on Saturday and Sunday. The Wheel
ing Register, of Monday, says:
"About half past two O'Clock Saturday morn
ing the ice gorge below Steubenvile broke,
and with dull, angry roar the waters sped on,
breaking up great fields of ice as if they were
egg-shells The water climbed up the banks
rapidly, and about three o'clock, when the
crunching of ice and the roar and spiashing of
the waters was first heard by the Waterman on
the boats at Sweeney's landing. 1t rose seven
or eight feet in few moments, the marks show
ing Is feet IL inches. The water coming down
with impetuous fury, and the great masses of
ice it was bearing on its bosom coming with
irresistible force against the firm ice, made
things lively for those in charge of the boats.
Several barges and coal boats were either sunk
or driven ashore. Two barges belonging to the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which were moor
en- at Benwood, were wrecked. The general
damages done, however, is not great.
Some injury was also sustained at Pittsburg.
The Chronical, of that city, says:
'The sudden rise in the Allegheny river and
the breaking up of the ice entailed considera-
BILE damage at various points along the river.
Several poor families, who had located them
selves for winter in boat houses in the vicini-
ty of Parker's Landing, had their dwellings
broken up, and in some instances the people
barely escaped with their lives, losing every
thing in the way of furniture and clothing that
they possessed

The HORSE QUEsTIoN.-Un the subject Of
horses a curious dispute has arisen in Paris
Forage is SO scarce that great many valuable
animals are now being fed upon bread, and this
when made known, was pronounced scandal
GUS. But if they slay their horses at once they
destroy their chances for fresh meat for the
future. A horse, on the other hand, eats about
as much bread in day as would support ten
citizens, and therefore it is asked whether it
is worth while to keep him month in order
to enjoy few hundred kilos of fresh meat ct
the end of that period. There has been good
deal ofarithmetc done on this question, and citi-
zens, horses, and bread have beer multiplied
divided, subtracted, and added up till the min
istry are quite perplexed, and we believe no
decision has yet been taken.
