The communication of &C.," on Immi-
grafton, will receive attention next week.
Our stencil-plated friend, George Taylor,
is again taking trip through the county.
We shall have lots of "items" when the
newly married editor gets back from the
frontier.
Robert S. CORY has been appointed
Postmaster at SHREVEPORT, in this county,
Thomas Latimer having declined to accept
the appointment.
Mrs. Scott announces this week the
receipt of Spring Millinery. AS the holy
days are near &C hand, this is the time to
select desirable articles in this line.
It is said that "the Postmaster of Port
Tobacco is whole-souled Republican, u
The impression heretofore has been that
he was only halfsoled.
The Devil of the Hatastiagtonian office
writes to our imp, and says: "Mr. Scott
has gone to Illinois to get mess OF
GREENS, and % there will be no sheets
pressed in this office this week, I am going
to have a jolly time as well as the editor
Young Mr.. Scott, of the Huntingtonia'a,
has gone West % be married. The proba-
bilities are for an increase of items, and
that Huntingtoa City will be called-not
Bowie-~but Port Prolific.
Remember the Festival at Mrs Owens
residence, near Hilltop, ON Easter Mon
day night, for the benefit of the church at
that place. We understand the Brass Band
have been invited, and it is expected that
they will be present and render the occa-
sion one of more than ordinary interest.
On Thursday next Ghis day week. the
Band will entertain the denizens of Cox's
Station and the surrounding neighborhood
with two Concerts, one to commence at 8,
and the other at p NJ Mr.. Sanders, a
member of theaBand, will repeat the a.
musing address delivered by him in Port
Tobacco sometime since, with additional
''hits" at the times.
The Road Supervisors in the adjoining
county of Primo Georges have reserved
sundry mud hoses," which they intend to
bring into requitition to extinguish GER
tain gaseous light that has come among
them " f ON the, civilized country of the
North" Uaderthis process, what nice
little dip-candlek che Heutingtonion editor
would make.
Thatanoetrzl ublished in the Hunting.
tonia'a of last week was not of that lot of
illusions, furnished by writers of Prince
Georges county, for which the editor was
offered "three cents pound" as the high
est bid. 1t came from writer from a
more "civilized",and inspired region.
The young Republican editor says that
sport Tobacco has greater proportion of
good looking ladies and gentlemen than
any other town in the State" This, con-
sidering the editors inclination towards
Verdant-cy, and his decided admiration of
black folks, is remarkable instance of
his stumbling ON the truth.
Mr.. Scott told his readers, last week,
that in visiting Port Tobacco he "came
''from the civilized country of the North"
During the war ''Scott's Nine Hundred"
came from the same country" The band
of the regiment played "Old Hundred" to
perfection, and the men preyed equally well
upon sheep, hogs and poultry. Heslin,
also, came from the same enlightened re-
gion; his occupation was that of "borrow-
ing" horses for his distressed friend.
The Alexandria Gazette of Tuesday says
s'The receipts of fish since the last report
have been about four thousand shad,
twenty-five thousand herring, and twelve
hundred punches of rock and perch. OF
the shad, 1880 were caught by Captain
Enoch Davis gang of OILERS in Nanjemoy
Reach. The ruling quotations to-day were
$11 to $13 per hundred for shad, $40 to
ST. per thousand for herring.
The Washington Sunday Herald thinks
that the Potomac fisheries will be failure
this season, and that the catch of fish is
annually decreasing. The season is from
the 18th of March until the list of June,
but sufficient time has elapsed to show
that the probabilities are against pros
porous years supply. Some Washington
fishermen have not yet wetted their seines.
There was every Indication in the begin
ming of the season of fine run of fish, and
the disappointment will be severely felt il
this immense trade should even partially
fail.
