GOne.-The wooden defector or break
water, erected by the Government three or
four years ago in the river opposite our
town, has gone where the woodbine twin
eth, or at least, left for parts unknown. 1t
will be recollected that some fourteen or
fifteen old canal boats, loaded with stone,
were sunk along the line of the frame de-
Hector. Whether the turbulent Susque-
hanna, with its terrible brigade of ice-mail-
ed raiders, paid any Difference to these
sunken canal boats, and left them right
side up with care is, as yet, unknown.
What effect the late floods have had, in the
way of making deposits, forming bars Or
cutting new channels about the mouth of
the river, has not been ascertained.

Cecil County.-The first County Institute
of the year was held at Port Deposit, in
the last week of February. 1t was great
success. More than ninety per cent of the
teachers were present at every session, and
the citizens showed their interest and ap-
probation not only by attending the exer-
clses, but by throwing open their houses to
the teachers. The generous hospitality of
the ladies' of Port Deposit on this occasion
will long be kindly remembered. 1t is
worthy OF note that all the members of the
County School Board were present from
the beginning to the end of the Ins titute,
without the loss of an hour. In ad dition
to the usual programme of exercises, there
was very eloquent and interesting lecture
by Rev. DR.. Nelson of St. Johns Co ,lege:
also, an evenings "Readings by Mr.

tive lectures on the physical geography of

DOnatiOn.-Rev. Charles 2. Mallory, Pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church of Chesa-

surprise donation. He unsuspectingly ac-
cepted an invitation to take tea with a
friend in the country, and on his return
home he found that his house had been
taken possession of by the members of his
congregation.
After their gifts of hams, eggs, lard,
cakes, &C., had been deposited in the
kitchen, and neat mantel time-piece, (the
gift of several ladies', had been placed in
the dining room, the friends repaired to
the parlor, where T. J. Cleaver, Esq, on
behalf of the donors, in some appropriate
and amusing remarks, presented we'll

cepted the gift with thanks, after which
refreshments were served, and the company
separated.

DEATH OF GERRITT SM;TH.-The tel
egraph announces the death of this good
man and eminent phlanthropist. He
was stricken with apoplexy at the house
of his nephew, John Cochrane, in New
York. He was an old man-had reached
nearly II years. His life has been very
active one. Few men of large means
have lived more unselfshly than Gerritt
Smith.
He inherited and otherwise acquired an
immense tract of land. But be distribut-
ed more than 200,0 acres Of it in small
parcels TO blacks and poor whites. He
also gave large sums to benevolent socie-
ties and institutions Of learning. His en-
tire life was filed up with acts of benevo-
lence. Gerritt Smith was elected to Con-
in 1852 from the Oswego District but he
resigned at the close of the first session.
lie was an early abolitionist. cooperating
with Chase, Sumner, and men of that
school. In times when an abolitionst
concentrated upon himself the most in
tense dislike, Gerritt Smith was respected
by all parties. He was an honest man of
singular purity Of character, always work
ing for the good of others. He was, be-
sides, man not only OF large heart, but
of large intellect. He will live in history
as one of the best men tins country has

MARITAL SUTTEE.-The old story of a
room with a number Of windows, one of
which disappeared every day and the
room gradually contracted till it crushed
its occupant TO death, evidently haunted
the brain Of Partisan jewelor who re-
Gently committed suicide. The unlucky
Frenchman, inconsolable for the loss of
his better-half, became subject to a spe-
cies of somnambulism. He was used to
wear a gold necklet, one of his late wife's
favorte ornaments, and he used to say to
his friends that The necklet daily grew
smaller, and his wife was thus painessly
killing him, much to bis JOY. The fact was
that the somnambulist rose every night
and went in his sleep down to his instru-
meRts, knocked off a link Of the necklet
and put on the fastening again. Next
morning he found the collar smaller, and
having no recollection OF what he had
done, attributed the event to supernatural
influence. This continued till last week
when the necklet had grown so small
that in fastening it on, the hapless widow
er literally garroted himself to death.

NOTABLE DEATH.-Dr. j. +. Morse,
well known throughout the State, died
and was buried last week, the funeral
service being conducted by California
Lodge, No. l, !. o. o. f., assisted by
delegations from many of the Lodges in
the central part Of the State. DR.. Morse
was one of the pioneers of the State, and
though unknown IN political life, has been
more or less a public man during his res
idence here. lie was editor Of the Sacra-
mcnto Union tweEty years ago. His ser
vices, however, in connection with odd
Fellowship are what will make lis mem
ory reyerenced in the Order. He was
Grand Master for one term and his last
great service in behalf Of the order was
the visit he made to the German Empire
in which the Order Of Odd Fellowship
was introduced into the principal cities
and towns of that nationality. OF late
DR.. Morse has been in feeble health, and
recently attempted voyage to Australia
in the hope of finding improvement, but
was compelled to return from the Sand
wich Islands, only to find grave in this
State which had been such useful field
Of labor during life.

THE LOUISIANA SITUATION.

We give below the latest intelligence
in regard to the situation in Louisiana
In the present light it is not an easy mat
ter TO form an opinion as to the rights or
wrongs of the controversy. 1t seems,
from the best information we can obtain,
that the Democrats got control of the As
sembly by trick, and sought to retain
control by Immediately admitting five
members Of their own political faith not
going through the little formality of Civ
ing the other side a hearing whereupon
the Federal troops were called in and the
officers unsesied. In the excitement fol-
lowing this proceeding, the dispatches
from the scene of action will be more or
less colored, as they represent the feeling
Of the one from whom the dispatch is re-
ceived.
New ORLEANS, Jan. 4th.-The Con-
servatives gained control of the Legisla-
ture by adopting resolution declaring
five mem bers entitled to seats who were
not returned by the Returning Board
Speaker Wilt then addressed the mem
bers in conciiatory spirit, promising to
accord to all who respectfully addressed
the Chair respectful hearing; and prom
ising justice to all, both white and black
Mr.. Wilt was then nominated for per-
manent Speaker by the Conservatives,
and Mr.. Hahn by the Radicals Mr..
Witt received filty-iive votes, Mr.. Hahn
two, and Mr.. Lowell one. -Four refused
70 vote az all, and others did not answer.
/ Mr.. Wilt was then declared permanent
1 Speaker, and the shouts of jov from the
/ Conservatives inside the building were
caught up on the street. Immediately
after the organization, on a call from
/ Governor Kellogg, Colonel De Trobriand
moved the Thirteenth Infantry into the
State House, and with file OF soldiers
unseated the Democratic officers who had
I just been seated. The military remain
/ ed and kept the peace while the Clerk
called the roll. Mr.. Hahn was then elect
/ ed Speaker, whereupOn Mr.. Witt vol
UNFAIRLY surrendered the gavel and with
! his party withdrew from the State House.
There was much excitement, but nobody
/ hurt. Congressman Potter was present
during the comp d'etat by Wilt and dis
couraged such proceedings. He declared
that Wilt could not lawfully hold the
position, and would harm the Democratic
cause.
Later dispatches represent the city as
being unusually quiet during the night,
no armed men being seen except the
United States troops encamped around
the State House. The leading papers in
the East generally unite in denouncing
the act of the Federal troops in occupy
ing the State House as an usurpation Of
power uncalled for. General Sheridan
has arrived in New Orleans, and taken
command of the military forces at that
place. People will await with great in
terest for his report upon the condition Of
affairs in that unhappy section. Ifit is a
war Of races. we shall know it, and if it is
a war Of one race upon the other, with
the lighting and killing all on one side,
we shall know that also.

NEVADA MATTERs.-The Legislature
Of Nevada met this week. AS the Re.
publicans are largely in the majority in
both houses, an organization was effected
at once. The most exciting feature Of the
session will be the Senatorial election
Sharon was supposed to have the thing
all his own way, until recently, but il
now seems that there are about dozen
Republicans opposed to Sharon, and these
by combining with the Democrats and
Independents, may elect some other. II
Sharon has nothing but his money to re.
commend him, such 4 consummation is
devoutly to be wished.

A SERIAL STORY. The Pe0pie's Cause
a Red Bluff paper, comes to us with Il
serial story occupying one Of its pages.
We are inclined to doubt the wisdom Of
this innovation. The reading matter Of
a country newspaper should be complete
every week, with nothing left to guess
at. Even the best publications having
serial reading, such, for example as Har-
per'S, are laid by until an article is fin
ished before they are read. We don't
think the California public will take
very kindly to long-winded stories in
their country weeklies.
