THE GERMAN CORRESPONDENT This en-
terplising newspaper, published in the city
of Baltimore, by F. Raine, Esq, has just been
enlarged one column on each page, and the
columns proportionately increased in length.
This enlargement has been made necessary
by the great increase of its business, and is
the third time within the past two years
Such series of engagements OF II newspaper,
in so short time, has never been equalled
in Baltimore, and rarely excelled anywhere.
Our friend, Mr.. W, Pinkney Hamilton, has
had control of the business department ofthe
paper for the last two years. and its prosper
ity is in great measure due to hia unremit.
ting energy and business tact.
The Correspondent is published in the Ger
man language, and is now the second paper
in Baltimore, in point of circulation, adver-
Using patronage, &c, the Baltimore San, we
believe, taking the precedence, in these par
ticulars, among the city press

BREvITY.-We have received communi,
cation from friend in the Long Corner,
which, on account of the crowded state of our
columns, we were obliged to curtail to such
an extent that we doubt if he will recognize
his handi-work. We have repeatedly solicit
ted and are anxious to receive news from all
parts of the county, but we would impress
upon our correspondents the importance of
brevity. Say your say in the fewest possible
words, and your communications will be
gladly received by the printer and read by

THE BREACH WIDENING.-The trouble in
the Republican camp seems to be on the in
crease, Notwithstanding their recent victo-
ries in New Hampshire and Connecticut.
The want of accord between Senators Will
son and Sumner, in political affairs, has as
sumed personal character, and these two
prominent men, who in times not long past
Joined hand to hand in the support of every
measure intended to Cypress and degrade the
South, will henceforth regard each other as
enemies, The old adage, " When rogues fall
out" &C., may thus have another Illustration.

Local Affairs.

FoREPAUaH's MENAaERIE, en- route from
Philadelphia, on summer tour, encamped
in this place last Thursday night, with won.
drous collection of elks, elephants monkeys,
bears, tigers, &c, which, however, were not
exhibited here. On Friday morning, the
managers were unable to pay the full amount
of their hotel bills, on account, as they alleg-
ed, of their funds having run short, owing
to unexpected delays from bad roads. Ac-
cordingly, James F. Ashton, mt whose hotel
number of men and horses were quartered,
held ten of the horses and the band wagon,
as security for the payment of their indebt-
edness, and ,he showmen departed, uttering
curses not loud, but deep. Upon their arriv-
al in Baltimore q man was despatched back
here, post haste, with the required funds, and
the horses were released.
The celebrated elephant Romeo" known
among showmen as the champion man kill
En-" was in the collection. This vicious brute
few weeks ago gathered his keeper up in
his trunk and dashed him violently against
the ground, injuring him severely. He was
only subdued after repeated thrusts with a
large pitchfork were dealt to him. He is a
dangerous animal and it is about time he was
killed,
A very valuable horse and two monkeys
died while they were here-the former, it is
supposed, from over exertion, and the latter
from the overturning of a cage

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION for State of.
ficers took place on Monday, and resulted in
the success of the entire Republican ticket by
II small majority. There were four tickets
for governor in the field-Democratic, Re
publican, Temperance and Labor Reform.
The result is not surprising, when it is re-
niembered that the Republicans were backed
by the corrupt influences of the powers
that be at Washington, who chose to regard
this little local election rs test of their pow
er to carry other States by the same corrupt
means used to achieve this success.

March Both, 1872,
MIR. EDITOR: deem it not amiss in send
ing greeting, informing you that although so
Tar distant we yet can consider ourselves
within the pales OF civilization, and wish to
impress upon the minds of all that the DEM
ocratic Fourth yet lives and desires remem.
brance, sometimes at least, and consequently
she banishes from her presence the mastery
inactivity of the past, and Phenix-like rises
| from the lethargy under which she bowed,
and proclaims her determination TO do or
die.
We have been visited by rs severe winter
as ever fell to the lot of man to experience in
this cline, and Old Boreas has held high car
| niva to his windy contest, and has died a hard
death through sheer exhaustion. We drink
the parting cup to him with glee, as we desire
not the chilling grasp of his hoary hand
again, nor the icy folding of his snowy gar
ments.
THE ROADS
are in q miserable condition at present, and
bid fair 10 be worse, and it is only to be hoped
the Supervisor will place the road warrants
into good hands during the coming spring,
and allow sufficient sum 10 properly mend
our highways. The Commissioners should
come up some time in their light buggies and
try our fine driving grounds. I'll warrant
they will not desire Il repetition of the dose
high taxes, uncertain school laws and poor
roads are not very pleasant contemplation. We
enjoy the inestimable blessing Of good health
up here and that awful dread, the Presidential
tiend, so virulent in other sections, skinned
lightly DER our heads and only marked few
victims in its destroying course and vac
cination has, like other dread topics, had its
run.
WORTHWHILE LYCEUM.
Our young men are vigorously prosecuting
their praiseworthy search after knowledge,
and the bright star Of intellect is in the w.
cendant, as the Norrisville Lyceum is de-
cided success and is GROWING itself with well
merited honors. The debate was ably sus-
tanned, and the subject discussed admirably
by Messrs. John Mann, D. A. Edie, DR.. j.
w. Harkins, w. b. Jordan, Will. G W. Nor
ris and IS. j Norris, and all were infinitely
pleased and highly edited, and not until a
late hour did the large audience withdraw
from the pleasant hall to think over the words
of wisdom so lately heard
I only hope the good seed of perseverance
may produce q rich harvest of golden results,
and that the priceless germ ofeducation may
here find a resting place.
