North East Items.
Almost Observation-Disclosures
Prolific Remoping.

There was almost riot in Charlestown,
on Wednesday last. 1t seems that gentle
man from the country is the owner of a
little property on the southeast corner of
Caroline and Bladen streets. Said country
gent is about erecting new fence on his
premises and according to Charlestown
rule, was about to encroach pretty heavily
upon said corner. At this junction one of
the old rcsidenters came along and used
rather severe epithets; such as d-m bar
remisters, &C., &C., which excited the
wrath of said owner of the corner, who
pounced upon the town man and disfgured
his countenance fearfully with his fist. At
one time matters assumed large proportions
as hatchets and saws were dextriously
waived in the air, but fortunately better
judgement prevailed and no serious injury
was sustained.
Some white shad have been caught on
the North East river; highest boat, thirty
five. Herring are rather scarce, yet Mr..
Barnes put on one Of his hauling seines on
lnuISuay last.
Farmers are nearly done sowing oats,
but the cold snap prevents their vegitating.
Flour, $3.50 per barrel; corn, 10 cents
per bushel; butter, 40 cents per pound;
eggs, % cents per dozen; beef, 14G16 cents
per pound. (Slnce the new butcher came
to town.

two mothers came around the other night.

REAL ESTATE IN EASTERN MARYLAND.
The Eastern Shore of Maryland is now
reapipg that result from our late financial
panic which it was predicted would follow
as natural sequence. There are now
more in4uirers after land than ever before,
and Mr.. J. F. Mancha, of the firm of Man
cha & Bro, Ridgely, the most extensively
engaged in real estate of all the firms in
Eastern Maryland, informs us that there is
a corresponding increase in the number of
sales. There has, however. been no ap-
probation in the value of real estate as
vet but if these GALES continue such must
he the inevitable result. The Mancha
Bros. have also been empowered to sell a
tract of 1000 acres lying east of Ridgely,
belonging to Parson Ridgely, which they
have divided into small lots and some thir-
ty settlers have already purchased homes
Of these, eight or ten have already built
themselves houses and moved in. An in
centive to purchase is the very easy terms
upen which the lots are sold, no money
being required for live years.

Court.-Court closed on Monday last
with the trial of State ps Veal for assault
and battery. Tried before the Court,
plead guilty and was fined one cent
When the fine is less than fifteen cents the
State pays the cost. 1t is sarcasm on
Justice that it is made possible for such
cases to consume the time of a Circuit
Court.
The Jury in the Kearney case after
having been out from Thursday plight
agreed on Sunday evening about half past
eight o'clock. The news soon spread
through the town, and the Court House fill
ed with an eager crowd to hear the YER
dict. The prisoner was brought out of
his cell and placed in the box, and the
Judges summoned, but after consultation
they determined not to hear the verdict
till a quarter past t,celre o'clock. This was
showing pious regard for the Sabbath
worthy the days Of the Puritans. We
read in the Book, "What man shall there
be among you that shall have one sheep,
and if it fall into pit on the Sabbath day
will he not lay hold on it and lift it out %
And the same author says, 81 will have
mercy and not sacrifice" but it was sacri-
flee and not mercy that kept Jury four
hours longer on the rack, and prisoner
on trial for his life with his enfeebled wife,
wantonly four hours in terrible suspense.

For The Cecil Wing
LECTURE AT JACKSON HALL.
A LADY ON THE STAND,

The few persons who found it conven.
lent to be present at Jackson Hall on
Thursday evening, March Goth, to hear
the lecture by Wilmington lady were
amply compensated by rich intellectual
feast, for their trouble and labor involved.
The subject of the lecture was "Mind."
The lecturer said, as we know nothing
of Mind disconnected from Matter" it
would be necessary to treat of Physiology
in connection with Phrenology. And the
ability with which she handled these kim
dred sciences, evinced rare acquaintance
with them. Had the lecturer not been a
woman this effort would have passed mus
ter anywhere, for everybody has heard of
female inferiority.
The mysterious connection of mind with
matter, of soul with body, and their SYM
pathies one with the other, were discussed
with rare ability.
The effect of bodily disease on the mind
and the Importance Of attending to a few
simple rules which she laid down for pre-
serving the health of the body, were forci-
bly, illustrated.
The lecture aboun ded with so many use
full suggestions, that it would be impossi-
BILE in my brief notice of it, to give even
the outlines of it. 1t was one of those
rare efforts that must be heard to be appre-
ciated. AS scientific inquiry into the
wonderfully and fearfully made creature,
man, have never heard it surpassed, while
the literary dress in which the subject was
displayed is seldom equaled. Altogether
this single discourse would establish the
reputation of man as a lecturer, what it
may do for woman remains to be seen.

LETTER FROM OHIO.
CAMDEN, Preble County, Ohio.
Ontl. 1O-l

CAMDEN, Preble County, ONO,
March 30th, 1874.
EDITOR WHIG:-Gone, though not for
gotten, is the Hon. H. G., who gave utter
ance to the words, $50 West young man,
60 West. Being determined to seek my
fortune, left Cecil county on Tuesday,
the Gath inst. Meeting with friend in
Baltimore, we took the train for Washing
ton via. the B. & O. Railroad. After view
ing the Capitol, Treasury, White House
and the Public Works, we started for Har-
per's Ferry, stopping there over night. In
the morning we walked upon Boliver
flights to view the Potomac and Shenan-
doah rivers and the old town of Harper's
Ferry. From there we went to Loudon
flights, where we could view the town and
Sandy Hook, just across the Potomac.
Returning again to the depot, we took the
tram via. Cumberland, up the II mile
grade on the Allegheny Mountains, view
ing such scenery as is not surpassed in
America. Hearing SO much of Cheat
River Valley, on tho Allegheny Mountains,
we determined to stop over there at small
town called Rolesburg. The next morning
we started down Cheat river; after travel
ing a distance of three and ahalf miles,
carrying our view traps, we became some
what exhausted and determined to retrace
our steps, and that Cheat river must look
far prettier in Summer than in the Spring.
From this point via. Cincinnati, we
made our way to this little town of nearly
1000 Inhabitants situated on the Cincin-
natl & Chicago Railroad. This town is
truly one of the ,oomen's crusade towns.
The crusade began here about week ago,
part of the saloon keepers closed at once,
saying they did not want the women pray
ing around them. So they signed the
pledge, saying it was low, mean business
at any rate. One other who determined to
hold out, swore he would not quit until
h-ll froze over, but during the week they
met with him often. On one occasion he
put on the stove peppers and tobacco,
when they opened the doors they determ-
ined to stay on the outside; so they sang
and prayed there. His billiard room was
filled with some of the citizens of the town
who were ashamed to be seen, and they soon
left by the back entrance. Most all the
ladies in the town from all the churches
have taken hold Of this work, and the
rum-sellers had but few on their side
Camden is now without a runs shop. The
last one gave up on Saturday last at P.
NJ. This crusade is not only in Camden,
but all over the country, and in nearly
every instance they have met with success.
The women here are determined that if
any one opens again to repeat their pray
ers until he gives up and signs the pledge
not to sell any more liquor. An old by
stander makes the following remark
Dings ish comm tn a CRATE pass in the
name of Got; de womens ish goin tn take
