Chesapeake City Items.

The hard freezing weather of the last
three weeks stopped navigation on the
canal, and the suspension has been turned
to advantage by the company in putting
the canal in complete order for Spring
trade. New lock gates have been put in
ut this place, the construction of which
gave employment to twenty mechanics and
as many laborers. and the sound of the
saw, the az and ham mer have given our
town lively and business appearance.
The boiler of the steam pump is also un
dergoing repairs, and the metallic ring of
the riveting hammers make ono fancy he
has been suddenly transferred to the vicin-
ity of some large machine shop or manu-
factory.
The large steamers used as tow boats
between this place and Baltimore are being
repaired and put in complete order for the
next seasons trade. They are powerful
boats. and in addition to transporting large
quantities of coal, grain and other mer-
chandise. they sometimes move tow of
twenty bargea, averaging $50 tons each,
which gives employment to one hundred
hands daily. The business of the canal
gives our town the benefit of large float
ing population, that absorbs large guam
tity of farm products raised in the adjacent
country.
A distressing accident occurred on Fri
day night. January Goth, by which one Of
our aged citizens lost his life. John Smith,
who was in the 10th year of his age, rose
from his bed sometime in the night, and
in attempting to go down stairs in the dark.
fell; the noise of his falling aroused the
family, and the old gentleman was found
at the foot Of the stairs So much injured
that he died few hours after.

Religious. Presbyterian Church of
Chesapeake City is enjoying revival of
religion which, for extent and power, is
unprecedented in its history. Though the
special services, which lasted for more than
four weeks. are discontinued. the ipte,e> ,
to some extent at least, is still mantair ell.
The pastor of the church was assisted by
the Rev. Vim. 3. Cults. of Philadelphia.
who, night after night, preached earnest
and eloquent sermons to large and atten-
tive congregations.
There is reason to believe that deep and
lasting impressions were made upon the
minds and hearts of the hearers, and be-
sides the harvest already reaped there will
be souls gathered after many days.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cults is to
labor for week or more in the Presby
terrain Church of Elkton, commencing to-
morrow.
