BRIDGE MEETING.-The Conowingo
Bridge Company held their annual meeting
on the Sth of January, at the village of Con-
owingo. The following gentlemen were
elected to serve for the ensuing year: Pres
ident-Jas. G. Bell Directors-Jacob Tome,
Richard b. Mccoy, Levi X. Brown, Joseph
Ii. Jewett The Bridge company have, dur
the past year, put up new span on the cast
side, $50 feet in length, which will enable the
public to cross at all stages of water, and
when the road on the east side is raised, as
the Directors intend to do, there need be no
wet feet in crossing the great river in times
of high water. Tolls were largely reduced
two years ago; the travel, in consequence,
is constantly increasing, and the number of
cattle and transportation of heavy merchan-
disc has quadrupled. The principle acted
upon is to make reliable crossing, at mod
crate prices, and the result of this policy is
working well, the receipts of the company
showing steady increase. The stockholders
before separating passed complimentary
resolution, expressing their sense of the value
of the long and faithful services, in behalf of
the bridge, of jeremiah B. Haines and Henry
McVey, and granted them free passes over
the bridge, for the remainder of their lives

Darlington, were arrested by Constable r.

to be delivered in the M. E. Church at Aber-
deem, on Tuesday, Jan. 23d, at o'clock, p. M.
by Major A. NJ Hancock, formerly U. S.
Consul at Malaga, Spain. The Major, we

interest the audience.
"F0urteen Years in tie Hinerancy," is the
title of lecture to be delivered by Rev
Thomas L. Poulson, of Baltimore, ON Friday
evening, February 9th, at the Court House

| ability to interest his hearers.
The proceeds of these lectures are for the
| benefit OF the respective churches, and we
hope the gentlemen will be met by large ant
appreciative audiences.

THE PROPOSED AIRLINE RAILROAD
We are informed says the West Chester Pa.)

whole road can beput in running order by
the time this point will be ready for travel.
The intended excavation will not be of long
or wide dimensions but be very deep, its char,
acter being such as will allow of but q few
workmen within it,

aer fruit these birds eat, they amply repay
