The Last Kick Of a Copperhead.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I do not deem the SIAN
ders and Misrepresentation which find a
place in that cest-pool, called THE Cecil Dem.
0crat, whose columns are open for the vom-
iting of those who are overcharged with
gall, worthy of reply; but there are men
who read that sheet who are not aware OF
its poison, because it bears the name OF
Democrat. 1 have special reference to the
issue of May 25th, in relation to the visit
of the President of the United States to
the little town of Elkton, which with
Noah's Ark, will compare as to to the length
of the time of building. For what par
ticular purpose the President came we
know not; possible to see if the shittim
wood of which part of the town is built
was not rotten; which he found was so.
While making this examination, copper.
head, who lay embedded in the rotten
wood, snapped at the President and Post
master General, with all the venom posi-
BILE; and not content with trying to bite
these two notables, he throws out his crook
ed tongue at an old gray-headed man, he
called Barreniter, which in his view is a
crime but adds still further, he knows
everybody and everything. The reason
of his fixing the old mans residence in the
Barrens was that location was most famil-
lar to him for reasons here unmentionable.
This is the same spirit that has long gov
erned the southern branch of the So called
Democracy, who have burned churches,
and school-houses for fear some would learn
to resist fraud and assert their rights.

Accidcnt.-J. S. Strahorn, while using an
adze, on Tuesday last, cut himself severely
just below the knee. Notwithstanding the
severe pain and loss of blood, he managed
to get to Thomas Garrett's residence near
by, where he remained until conveyance
arrived to take him home.
In State Quo.-The macadamizing the
public road from the Fox Chase to the
Delaware line, that was commenced last
winter and conducted SO vigorously for Il
while. by voluntary contributions, has
come to close, with great quantity of
large stone lying in the middle of the road
unbroken, compelling teams to turn to one
side of the road-making it very dangerous
after night. Our Delaware neighbors are
more than half done their part of the work
from Newark to the Delaware line.

LETTER FROM DAKOTA.

DAKOTA, May 10Th, 1872.
DEAR Wn1e:-In my last, said would
say something about the climate of the
northwest. Well, it is very cold in the
winter; some days it is from 15o to 20o
below zero, and high wind blowing most
all the time. There are generally some
warm days in the last of January and first
of February. At that time they plow and
SOW wheat; but this Spring they did not
get their wheat in until the middle of April,
and then it was cold. 1t is very dry; not
much rain falls here in the Spring. There
are no snow squalls or rain storms here like
there are in the east; but the wind blows
very hard and cold. The grass grows very
luxuriantly. This has been cold Spring,
and at this time we wear our winter cloth
ing, and keep up fire in the stove.
The people here are all new comers from
the East, many from Philadelphia and
New York. They live in houses built of
sod. They plow and then cut the sods in
blocks about IA inches square, and build
them up like bricks. They are built about
AXIS feet, one story high; the roofs are
nearly flat, with brush Or long grass laid
on the rafters, and dirt thrown on the grass
so they look from the outside like pile
of dirt. They make very warm house
much warmer than a log cabin. Some
have cellars under them, but they never
wall the cellar up; indeed there are not
stone enough to build a chimney. The
stove pipe is run out through the roof
Some have log houses sided up; but it is so
dry that the boards warp up and they are
colder than the mud houses.
Now don't think that the people are low
class; far from it, they are very intelli-
gent class-all well educated and have seen
something of high life. Indeed find them
hearty, good natured class of people
Their furniture consists Of one or two rude
bedsteads, one table, two or three chairs,
and some boxes. They make all their own
furniture, SO n cabinet maker would starve
to death at his trade, and as for an under
taker, why he could not live, for it is very
healthy. Indeed, it seems to me that they
live on health and good humor. The great
est drawbacks here are wood and water;
but water can be had by digging from six
to twelve feet, and the best well water |
ever drank. All who take up land break
enough the first year to set out from 500 to
1000 trees. The trees are what they call
Cottonwood; it grows very fast. The Cot
tonwood and Maple are the only trees that
grow here. Some places there is some oak;
but it is not good for anything.
The wheat and oats crops look very fine.
Nearly all are done planting corn. Farm
ing here is the easiest work ever saw.

The Cecil Whig., 1872-06-08

Fire W0rks.-As the 4th ofJuly-the time
for cannon and tire-works-is rapidly ap-
preaching, dealers in pyrotechnics will
necessarily be casting about to see where
they can get the best and cheapest articles.
1t will be seen by an advertisement else
where that the Messrs. Adams & Brother,
506 Market Street, Wilmington, Del,
inform dealers that they can furnish
Fourth-of-July celebrating material at
New York Prices-which are supposed to
be always the lowest. Give them trial.
Beautiful Pictures.-We had the pleas
ure, the other day, of seeing the very
beautiful French "Oil Chromos:' Vide
A,cake and Fast asleep, which are now so
widely advertised and so much admired by
amateurs. These beautiful pictures, which
are now selling rapidly in all the picture
stores,- at $40 for the pair, are given as
premiums to subscribers for H. W.
Beecher's Christian Union, and are decid-
edly the best thing of the kind we have
seen. The paper itself, "a large "a page
weekly independent of the Chromos is
fully worth the subscription price, being
the leading weekly religious and family
paper published. 1t is entirely unsectarian,
having some of the ablest writers from
every denomination. 1t is devoted to
Religion, Morals, Reform, News, Litera-
ture, Music, Science, Art, Agriculture,
Trade, Finance, &C., and embracing con-
tributions from we'll known and promi-
nent writers, among whom may be men,
toned H. B. Stowe. The Editor, H. w.
Beecher, contributes lecture or sermon
regularly every week. Altogether it is
the best and cheapest combination that we
have ever seen, and lovers of literature will
do we'll to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity now offered to subscribe. The pic
lures were obtained in Paris by the pub
fishers by mere chance at very reduced
rate and will not be offered again this year.
A pair of these beautiful Chromos can be
seen at this Office, where subscriptions will
be received for the paper.

AS for Adams, do not fear him-an
aristocrat by birth and a Democrat from
perverseness-the love of money makes
such union possible. He is Democrat,
but afraid to confess his creed, or wear his
uniform. If any party allows him to lead
it he will lead it to the grave, as all the
Adamses have always done. Old John
Adams vanity, bjgotry, and hate of Ham
ilton put the Federal Party into its tomb.
John Quincy Adams Administration was
the death blow of the Wing Party, then
called Republicans. The light which gilds
the Adamses is that of sunset. They
insure defeat. Chatham said Sir William
Young's voice was the death knell of his
country. The breath of an Adams fame
has the chill of the charnel-house in it
Let them nurse their money-bags like
timid misers and allow bolder and more
unselfish men, whose foreheads are lit by
the rising sun, to help the world forward,
undisturbed by their greedy ambition or
their querulous crotchets.
For loyal Administration to protect
the negro, awe the rebel, and give the
working man a chance, Grants little finger
is worth a bakers dozen of Greeley's.

Transferred.-Rev. H. S. Thompson,
who has been stationed at the NJ. E.
Church, in this town, for the past fifteen
months, was last week transferred to Prov
idence Conference. The transfer was rath-
er sudden and took his congregation by
surprise. Dir. Thompson was in New York
at the time, and the first intimation of the
matter here was letter from the pastor
himself stating the fact. Mr.. Thompson
goes to the church at Warren, Rhode
Island; which is said to be quite fine
appointment. 1t is given as the Bishops
plea for thus unceremoniously depriving a
congregation of their Pastor, that it would
be much easier to supply Elkton with a
preacher than the church at Warren. That
church had been for some time filled by
a Navy Chaplain, who was home on fur
Tough, and he having been called to duty
was the cause of the vacancy there. There
was also numerously signed ''call' from
that Conference, asking for the transfer.
:Mr. Thompson filled his new appointment
asst Sabbath.
