PILOT TOWN ITEMS.

Bridge Neeting.-The Conowingo Bridge
Company held their annual meeting on the
Sth of JAN, at the village of Conowngo.
The following gentlemen were elected to
serve for the ensuing year: President
James c. Bell, Directors Jacob Tome,
Richard B. Mccoy, Levi X. Brown, JOS
eph II. Jewett. The Bridge company, have
during the past year, put up 4 new span
on the east 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 10 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 increas-
ing, and the number of cattle and transport
tation of heavy merchandise has quad
rupled. The principle acted upon, is to
make reliable crossing, at moderate prices,
and the result of this policy is working
well, the receipts Of the company showing
a steady increase. The stockholders be-
fore separating, passed complimentary
resolution, expressing their sense of the
value of the long and faithful services, in
behalfof the bridge, of jeremiah, b. Haines
and Henry McVey, and granted them free
passes over the bridge, for the remainder
of their lives.
Nep Store House at Consmingo.-Mr. J.
G. Bell has just contracted with A. II. Rey-
nolds, of Port Deposit, to build store
house % by 40; to be occupied by J. II.

RIOT IN TURKEYTOWN.

On Friday evening, 9Th inst, this quiet
STATIONS, that our easy going denizens
were completely startled out of their pro-
priety.
The ring leaders are not generally known,
but a careful observer might have suspected
that something was in the wind. For some
days previous there were preparations and
consultations and unusual activity in GER
tain quarters, and an omnous fiuttering
and squalling among the feathered tribe.
About o'clock p. NJ, on the above
named evening, motley crowd,-of both
sexes, and of every age,-came pouring
into town from all quarters; where, being
joined by other rioters of the place, they
proceeded stealthily to the Parsonage, in
body. Mr.. Dare and family were seated
quietly by their fire. side, suspecting no
danger, when suddenly the house was sur
rounded by the rioters, who forced an
entrance before the surprised and defence
less inmates could offer resistance or effect
their escape. Finding themselves in the
hands of the mob, who still came surging,
ijostling, and crowding in, till every apart
ment was completely jammed-from cellar
to garnet, the parson-good soul that he
is-surrcndered at discretion.
At this point, the pencil of the artist
only would be equal to the occasion. Think
of two hundred persons-their hands full
Of baskets, boxes, jars, cans, jugs, bags,
and packages Of every shape, size and
kind; filled with every imaginable article
that is good to eat, drink or wear-for man
or beast-all pushing and crowding to get
into the house. One door not being suffi-
cient, another and another was opened,
and still they came pouring in. Wagons,
carts and carriages, of every sort, were
unloaded, till the serions question came
up, "Where will we put it all ?"
The wagons unloaded, and the plumber
slowed away, in some sort, the inevitable
speech making and cake-eating came off.
Everybody thanked and praised every
body else. Then, hope, with full hearts,
q know with full stomachs) came the sing
ing, which was very good, and conducted
with spirit and power. Singing was fol
lowed by prayer, when all departed their
several ways, feeling, no doubt, that lit is
more blessed to give than to receive.''
Beside the liberal donation of provisions,
including a monstrous turkey and groce-
ries. canned fruits, flour, feed and meats,
enough to stock store, the amiable and
exemplary mistress of the parsonage was
presented with purse containing over
fifty dollars, a beautiful dress and gloves
for herself, and two dresses for her
daughter.
Mr.. Dare's benevolent face glowed with
gratitude for this token of the peoples
appreciation of his services, and he wishes
every contributor to be assured of his dis
tinguished conside ration.

on his way rejoicing that he had received
