The Following Extract is from letter
received from a former resident OF Elktoi,
which throws some light on the present
failures of the effort to procure an appro-
priation for clearing the channel oil
Elk River. 1t is refutation to the
charges against Mr.. Creswell. by certain
persons, who to their shame, never lose an
opportunity to misrepresent the Postmast-
er General:
| Having occasion to call upon Hon. Stew
enson Archer few evening since, and our
ing our conversation in regard to the Elk
River appropriation, | informed him thit a
number of citizens of Elktop (all of whom
are, of course, good Democrats were I'M AZ
| der the impression that MIR. Creswel anu
not exercise his influence in behalf OF tlaC
enterprise. Mr.. Archer said that alter
| Senator Hambleton and himself had done
all they could for it. that Mr.. Creswell d'a
go before the Committee and MADE
lengthy and able argument, warmly advo-
eating the propriety of such an approPilia,--
ton, and that probably he Mr.. Crcs"elj
was more disappointed than the most Inter
| ested citizen Of Elkton.
| Mr.. Archer, further said. thathe thought
the appropriation was lost solely because
| the survey was inaccurate, as the Commit
tee would not listen to making the appro-
priation when the surveyors report before
| them showed that the survey was made oy
punching holes in the ice. He also sala
that he was pretty sure of getting suhi-
| cicnt amount to make an accurate survey,
and that he thought it policy not to bflnS
| the bill up again this session, for ii 1t was
brought up and lost, (Which he was conf
dent it would be- it would only have ten
dency to weaken it at the next session.

ReyivalS.-There is very encouraging
revival of religion at Wesley Chapel, on
Elk Neck charge, Rev. w. L. Tull, pastor.
Quite number have been converted, and
the church greatly quickened. The meet
ing has been in progress for about two
weeks, but there have been several stormy
nights. Those converted are mostly grown
persons, and are said to be such as Will
remain.
Cherry Hill charge, Rev. Mr.. Weston,
pastor. is having the greatest revival there
that has been in that neighborhood Tor
twenty-five years. The meeting has been
in progress number of weels-the pastor
keeping it going for several weeks without
any evidence of success. But about TWO
weeks ago the people commenced to move,
and since that time the altar has been
nightly crowded-as high as forty-five per-
sons being forward on one evening. Many
have been converted and have joined the
church. Both old and young are the sub
jects of salvation. Several persons who
had been seeking for four and five years
have received the light. The work goes
on with undated interest.
We are informed that the note published
two weeks ago stating that the Sabbath
School at that place had closed, was incor-
rect There was failure to have school
on two Sabbaths, owing to combinati on
of circumstances which prevented the
superintendent, Mr.. W. J. Grant from
being present. The school is now regu-
larry held, when the weather is such that
the children can attend.

The Peaches.-At the meeting of the
Peninsula, Fruit Growers Association, held
at Dover, Del, on Monday last, the follow
ing information was elected in regard to
the condition of the peach buds:
There was much concern manifested
about the probable injury sustained by the
peach crop from the intense cold weather.
Mr.. Townsend said the crop was badly
damaged about Townsend.
Mr.. Cochran said that around Middle
town, the damage was serious, and thought
there were enough uninjured buds to Sc
cure fair crop.
Mr.. Griffith, of Kent county, Nd, said
in the neighborhood of Sassafras, about i
per cent. of the buds, only, are left-unin-
iured.
Geo. W. Cummins, of Smyrna. said that
in the upper part Of Jersey, and north of
St. Georges in this State, the frost has
been very fatal.
Dr. Davidson said that in lower Kent
(Del.) and on down the Peninsula, so far
as he had heard from, the prospect for IL
large crop is most encouraging. The buds
are entirely uninjured by the cold, and the
trees are in very healthy condition.
