Relief for Kansas Sufferers.-Mr. NJ. X.
Pierson, whom our citizens will remember
calling on them a short time ago for contri-
buttons for the Kansas suffers, has for
warded his collections to the agency there
authorized to receive them, and is strongly
urged to make still further appeals in be-
half of those famine stricken people on the
frontiers, who are deserving in an eminent
degree, but terrible sufferers from the grass
hopper visitation last Summer. Any of
our more favored people whose hearts yearn
toward those sufferers on the frontiers, will
be certain of their contributions reaching
the perishing ones for whose comfort they
are designed, by forwarding either money
or clothing to Mr.. NJ. X. Persons address,
at Upper Principle, this county.
We have been permitted to read letter
received by MIR. Pierson in acknowledgment
of the receipt of goods and money for
warded by him. The picture of distress
which the writer gives, who appears to be
a woman in humble, and at present very
reduced circumstances, is heartrendng.
The following extract will convey some
idea of the distress prevailing in the fam
ine-stricken regions of both Kansas and
Nebraska. After reverting to the better
times she has been used to, the letter con-
tinues:
81 never had given my children dry
bread, but now they are glad to get it.
When my little boy was i'll and had moth
ing but dry bread to give him, he craved
butter or grease. 'Oh, ma, give me a lit
tie on my bread he pleaded, but l had
none to give. l took little rnd Of meat
that l saved to grease my bread pans and
fried the essence out of it to satisfy his
craving. Oh, the feelings of my heart at
that time God only knows; but | must not
complain; so many are in worse condi-
ton than l am. tell you the anguish Of
mothers heart can't be expressed at hav-
ing to soothe her little children to sleep,
when half starving, by telling them the
kind people would send them something to
eat; that they would not let them starve
In the morning they would 60 to the door
and look, and seeing nobody coming, would
80 back sadly into the house, or dugout,
| wait few minutes and go again; and per
haps away i'll the distance spy some object
approaching. Oh, with what anxiety the
little things wait the coming of the sup
posed relief. 'Oh, ma, they say. we are
sure it is aid coming Yes here it is at
the door. oh, ma, we wont starve, will
we?' l wish you could only hear these
little ones join in the glad chorus, Wont
God bless those kind folks in the East p
Is it the mothers prayers that reaches their
hearts ~

RESOLUTION OF THANKS.

At a meeting of Sassafras Lodge, No.
1T, l. O. G. T., held at Cecilton, on April
LIST, 1875, the following preamble and reso
lutions were passed:
WHEREAS, The legislature has seen fit
to pass law giving power to the Grand
Jury of Cecil county to recommend or sup
press license; and, whereas, The effect of
intemperance among us has awakened a
goodly number of our citizens to a sense
of duty, causing them to send to the Grand
Jury petition requesting the suppression
of license in the First District; and, where,
as, The Grand Jury has licensed but two
houses in this District; therefore, be it
Resolred, That we. the members of Sas-
safras Lodge, do render our heartfelt thanks
to Almighty God for so great favor.
Resolred, That we do heartily thank the
Grand Jury of Cecil county for having
taken such wise step, and also Mr.. John
V. Lavender for having aided so nobly in
procuring large petition for the First
District.
Resolred, That as temperance men, we
will never cease our efforts until everything
that can intoxicate shall be driven from
our community.
Resoloed, That we will earnestly labor to
implant these principles in the hearts and
minds of the rising generation.
Resotoed, That we urge all Christian men
to support the temperance cause.

Havre de Grace and Pert Deposit Items.
HAvRE DE GRACE, April 8, 1875.

HAvRE DE GRACE, April 8, 1875.
MIR. EDIToR:-Things in general around
both Havre de Grace and Port Deposit
have an upward look. The cars of the
P, w. & B. railroad run up as far as the
Depot now, in Port, making their first trip
that far since the flood on Tuesday, at
noon. The P. & B. c. road, however.
have not been so fortunate in refixng their
track, and their road is still lying nearly
on end, from the Depot to Rock Run.
The carpenters of the different roads have
been busy fixing up the platforms around
the Depot, and making any and all repairs
necessary, and will in short time have
the work completed. The lumber dealers
have hands at work fixing up their yards,
repiling the scattered lumber, etc. The
Commissioners of the town have men at
work relaying the board pavement, which
was thrown so much out of place during
the Gorge, and fixing the streets generally
and everything has look considerably
better each succeeding day than it had the
day before. TIE Western Union Telegraph
Company have also had a gang of men at
work rebuilding their lines through town,
which are now nearly finished.
THE RIVER
has fallen considerable, and is not higher
than is usual at this season of the year.
There is no more ice above to come down
now, and more than ordinary high river
is not looked for this Spring. Rats are
expected down next week should the river
be in rafting order. Herring begin to
come up slowly, and few have been
already caught with scoop nets near the
shore. Fishermen are getting their seines
and nets in order for the Spring work, and
will soon engage in their finny work. The
season for fish, it is thought, will be an
extra good one The launching of the
boat of Mr. Murry Vandiver. which is a
very large one, will take place from the
marine dock here in a few days. This
vessel, which it is calculated will carry two
hundred tons burden, is a new one (entireiy
new and will ply between Havre de Grace
and Baltimore when completed.
PRoMIscUoUs OF HAvRE DE GRACE.
The whooping cough and scarlet rash
are quite plentiful here. The canal boats
which were washed up SO high on the
wharves at the Basin, have all been gotten
down but one. The workmen will soon
have it in the water. A wedding of lady
of Havre de Grace and a gentleman from
Baltimore took place at the Methodist
Church last night at eight o'clock. 1t was
attended by quite respectable audience.
The happy pair took the s. 80 P. NJ. train for
Baltimore. Sunday afternoon was like
Summer, and many were out enjoying it.
When we have much of such weather. look
out for Spring fever. There are more old
tramps around town than a few. They
delight to ride from here to Perryville and
back on the trains. They are looking for
work, and when fishing commences we
hope they may find it. Catching wood
and logs has been the order of the day for
week past. The colored folks have
erected new church in Grace Town, but
have failed to pay for it, and it is closed
up until the stamps come down.
Very respectfully yours,
ELECTRICAL.

Temperance Lecture.-SamuelL Logan, Jr.
Social Glass;" at Westamwell school house,
near E kton, on Tuesday evening last. The
speakers remarks were chiefly confined to
his own bitter experience and observation,
having been it's victim for ten years, and
were delivered in strong terms and with
much earnestness, in which the terrible
evils of intemperance was wildly portrayed.
He gave some astounding and thrilling in
cidents, scenes, ETC., proving the degrading
influences of the demon, plainly showing
how it drags men from the highest spheres
of responsibility down to the lowest stages
of degradation; making rich men poor, de-
stroying the peace and comfort of once
happy families, filling our aims houses and
jails, besides largely increasing the number
of widows and orphans all over our land.
The occasion was enlivened by some fine
instrumental music. Three very appropri-
ate pieces, "Touch Not the Cup "Spark-
ling Water" and "Crowd Us Awfully,'
were beautifully discoursed by the Misses
Evans, Warner and McNeal assisted by a
trio from Elkton. Both the lecture and
music we're loudly applauded by the audi
ence.
Mr.. Logan delivered his lecture at Atkin-
sons Hall, North East, on Thursday night

Pythias Hall, Cherry Hill, this Saturday
