PROPOSED ERECTION OF CHURcH.-For
some time past religious services have been
held in the Academy, at Darlington, by Rev.
E. A. Colburn, of Trinity (EpiscopaD Church,
Churchville. The attendance upon these
meetings having been so satisfactory, an eff
fort has been set on foot to erect church,
Although but short time has elapsed since
these efforts were actively commenced, we
learn that the ladies of the neighborhood, by
the energy, perseverance and interest they
have manifested, have obtained fair sub
scription list, as an initial step towards the
desired object The efforts of the ladies have
been warmly aided and sustained by the Rev.
Mr. Colburn. At a recent meeting, the fol-
lowing persons were appointed committee
to contract for the speedy erection of the said
church Hon. John Fl. Price, George X.
Bowen, E. M. Allen, John M. Cooley, j. R.
Ely anu G. Wilson, Jr. The building is to
be erected, we are informed, on the lot for
merly donated for the purpose by Philip w.

WORTH REMEMBERING.-Th ladies should
remember the privileges accorded to their
sex with the recurrence of leap year. Many
q gay bachelor, unable to fix his choice among
such an array of beautiful and attractive Ia
dies as Hartford can boast, might this year be
made happy for life. Take compassion on
them ladies. And We disconsolate bachelors,
if any of you should be so honored by lady,
do not say her nay, but entertain her propo-
sal "in all guide courtesic." These leap year
privileges are older than the magma charta,
as the following statute in the old Saxon
code attests:
"Albeit, as often as leap yearre occures the
woman holdeth prerogative over the MEME
in matters of courtshippe, love and matrimo-
ME, so that when the lady proposeth it shall
not be lawful for the name to say her nae,
but shall entertain her PROPOSAL in all guide
courtesie."

THE CHICKEN CHOLERA is again playing
havoc among the poultry in some sections

which upwards of seventy chickens and tur.

for this pest of the poultry yard would be
boon to farmers.

BEAR AND HIS KEEPER IN LINBo-The
Italian and his pet bear, who passed through
this place some days ago, were arrested in
Baltimore on Saturday. Their arrest placed
the officers in quandary similar to that of the
man who drew the elephant at q rattle. They
were at loss what to do with their prison
ers-especially Bruin. The charge against
the man was for exhibiting without license,
and as no charge had been preferred against
the bear, it was deemed unjust to imprison
him with his keeper. After some consulta-
ton, however, the man and his shaggy charge
were permitted to to depart, upon condition
that they should leave the city at once-and
the travelling show, says the Sun, according
ly took its line of march for Washington.

THE Ice CROP ON THE SUsoUEHANNA--
The ice crop taken from the Susquehanna
river above Havre de Grace, this year is larger
in quantity and of better quality than any
secured in that quarter for many years past.
Messrs Cochran & Abrams, of Baltimore,
have filled six large houses at Lapidum, and
have also nearly finished filling as many more
capacious houses at Perrymansville, on the
Cecil shore.
The houses of Messrs. Oler g. Co., six in
number, and large dimensions, at Lapidum,
are also nearly full, and this firm was en-
gagged this week i'll filling their houses on
Watsons Island.
A continuation of the present cold weather
for a few days only, would furnish ice enough
to completely fiji all the houses along the riv-
Ell and canal
The ice already saved measures from seven
to twelve inches in thickness.
Messrs. Cochran & Abrams, after having
taken all the ice they could get on the Canal,
finished filling their houses at Lapidum with
ice from the. river. The ice was cut in huge
cakes, about 80 feet long and 16 feet wide,
which were towed through the outlet lock
and down the canal to the ice houses. This
was an undertaking of considerable magni-
tude, but was accomplished successfully.
