Local Affairs.

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE.-On Thurs
day of last week, Mr.. William Beale an old
gentleman of this neighborhood, left his home
on foot for Havre de Grace, informing his
family that the object of his journey was to
pay lumber bill he owed in that place.
Arriving in Havre de Grace he put up for
the night at hotel, and after eating his
breakfast on Friday morning, in response to
an inquiry as to whether he would be in to
dinner or not, he replied that it was doubtful,
and paying his bill lie left. On Saturday his
son-in-law, Mr.. Ezekiel Matthews, who lives
in Baltimore county, received letter from
him, dated at Havre de Grace, enclosing
receipt for the lumber bill, the letter stating
that the writer intended to make way with
himself" 1t also requested Mr. Matthews to
settle up his estate, which amounts to seven
or eight thousand dollars, and informed him
that in n small box in a certain place he
would find sum of money which was to be
given to his wife, who, he said, had been a
faithful wife to him. No traces of the writer
have been found since he left the hotel at
Havre de Grace on Friday morning, and it is
feared that he has carried out his intention
to destroy himself.
Mr. Beale was probably suffering under q
temporary alteration of mind caused by Pc
cuniary embarrassment if he has, as seems
probable, carried into effect his rash intention.
He was man of strong common sense and
more than ordinary intelligence. The act had
probably been contemplated for some time,
as his books and papers were left in perfect
order, showing precisely the state of his bust.
ness affairs.
Mr.. Beale was about sixty-fve years old,
five feet six inches in height, very heavily
built and wore when he left home black
SLOUGH hat, black sack coat and dark over
coat, ribbed cloth pantaloons, brown gloves,
coarse shoes, and carried cane. His family
are in the greatest state of distress and alarm
on account of his singular disappearance
Any communication in regard to his where

tains number of good things. Among the
stories, we notice "Wartburg Castle, "Chrst-

new series of the popular "Dukesborough

is commenced, and the number also contains
another instalment of Lord Kilgobbin" and
"Run to Earth" both popular Stories. "Notes
on E. A. Polard's Lost Cause" by Gen. G. T.
Beauregard, will be read with interest, and
coming as it does from the pen of so distin-
guished an officer of the Confederate army,
will be regarded by the future historian as
reliable data upon the subjects of which it
treats.

HoPEWELL y ROADS,
January 31st, 1872.
MIR. EDITOR: Quite long time has elaps.
ed since we saw any communication in your
paper from these parts; but these long win
ter nights afford us time for Slight recrea-
ton, so we thought to amuse ourselves for a
short time by dropping you Il few lines, hop
ing you will find them of some little interest.
noNATIoN PARTIES.
On Tuesday the 10th inst, fine donation
party was given to the Rev. Mr.. Shreeve,
pastor of the NJ. p. Church, at this place
Quite good collection of supplies of all
kinds were taken. The good people of this
church, by whom this worthy minister is
much and justly beloved, chose this means of
testifying their high respect for and gratitude
to him for his faithful efforts in their behalf.
Refreshments were provided for those pres
ent and all Jared sumptuously. The day was
II happy one, and will be long remembered
by the participants.
n few days after another donation party
was given to n very needy family near here
Useful and necessary articles ofvarious kinds
were taken. TO those whom Providence has
seen proper to place in our midst unprotected
and unprovided we doubt not those who par
ticipated in it will be rewarded for their noble
charity. If this practice was more generally
followed what vast amount of suffering
might be saved.
SMALL POX.
Considerable uneasiness is felt here in re-
gard TO the smallpox Several cases of this
loathsome disease are prevailing near us,
though in its milder FORM Other diseases
also are prevailing to considerable extent
Drs. Virdin, Finney and Roberts are kept
quite busy.
MARRIAGE FEVER.
The marriage fever" too, is raging to an
alarming extent, several of our young friends
have been taken off by it. Scarcely week
passes that this fever does not put an end TO
the single existence of some of our acQuaint-
ances, 1t does not seem partial to either sex,
but invariably attacks one of each at the same
time and in the same way. The Rev. Mr..
Shreeve gets his full share of practice in these
cases, and his remedies are highly recon-
mended by all who have tried them. Con.
tirmed old bachelors and elderly maids should
give him call.
LECTURE.
The Rev. Mr. Reed delivered an interest
ing and instructive lecture, in Rock Run
Church., few evenings ago His subject,
"Thirty Years in the Itinerancy," was quite
humorous, and was highly appreciated by
his audience.
ACCIDENT
During the sleety weather some four weeks
ago MIR. Wm Woolsey, living near Chnrch-
vile, met with very painful accident from
falling on an axe which severely cut his
knee. He has been in bed ever since.

Another Route for the Hartford Railroad.

Another Route for the Hartford Railroad.
Since the proceeding article on the Hartford
County Railroad was in type, several influen-
tial gentlemen from the upper part of the
county have called upon us with the request,
which we cheerfully comply with, to notice
in our columns a new and, it is claimed,
thoroughly practical route for road from
Magnolia to Bel Air, and thence 10 Delta, at
or near the Maryland line, to connect with
narrow gauge railroad from York to Peach
Bottom, and thence by way of Oxford to
Philadelphia, which last mentioned road will,
it is represented, unquestionably be commence
ed at some time during the coming Spring. 1t
is claimed that by this route a narrow gauge
railroad, which would be- in all, about TWEEN
ty seven miles in length, can be built for a
sum less than three hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars; and it is further represented
that unless the route is brought by Bel Air,
thence to the Philadelphia Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad, it will undoubtedly be
built from Delta to point on the Northern
Central road.
Whilst we are in favor of decided and
prompt action to secure what we regard as
indispensably necessary to the continued i'm
provement of our county-the building of a
rairoad-we are welded to no particular
scheme, and cheerfully give our citizens gen.
orally the benefit of all suggestions looking
to the accomplishment of so desirable an end.
The route above indicated certainly lays
claim to attention on account of its direct
communication with not only rich agricul-
tural region, but also with the immense and
increasing business of the numerous slate
quarries of that section, as well as with lime
lumber and coal supplies.
Finally, that the sense of our citizens may
be taken upon the subject, we are requested
to announce that meeting will be held in
the Court House in this place, on next Tues
day, February 18th, on the adjournment of
Court, to send delegates to a meeting which
will be convened on Thursday, February 18TH
at 1 o'clock, P. NJ, at La Grange Iron Works.
to take into consideration measures looking
to the building of the road.

DEATH OF AES, DEFENDER.-Col Ed
ward Rutledge, of this county, died at his
residence, on the 31st ult., in his 10th year.
Col. Rutledge was a soldier of the war of
1912, having served in Captain Macatee's cav
airy company, of the regiment commanded
by Col. Streett-Morgan Richardson being
ahe adjutant of the regiment.
Col. Rutledge's death was sudden. He
was apparently in his usual health on Tues
day morning, and was engaged in cutting
wood, but remaining out of the house an I'M
usual length of time, his brother went out to
look for him, and found him lying by the
wood-pile, speeches., having probably fallen
with an attack of apoplexy. His death &C.
Cured the next day. Col Rutledge was very
widely known in Hartford county, and his
death creates gap in the rapidly decreasing
circle of patriotic men, who in the last war
with Great Britain rushed to arms to defend
the honor of our country.
