DISTURBING A RELIGIOUS MEETING.

We witnessed law suit on Wednesday
morning before Justice Adams, of Havre
de Grace, when one Bartlett was brought
forward, charged with interrupting divine
service by making noise with bell, on
January 18th, in the NJ. E. Church.
He acknowledged the charge and pleaded
guilty, but said he had misbehaved while
under the influence of liquor drunk, and
being really unconscious of what he was
doing. In order to keep him from becom
ing unconscious again by that means, he
was fined ten dollars and cost, which
amounted to thirteen dollars and sixty five
cents in all.

4 Fishing has commenced pretty generally
on the North East River. The catch has
been rather small, on account of the back
ward and cold Spring and the Susquehanna
remaining high. Your Itemizer witnessed
a haul at 6. W. Barnes. on Wednesday
last, some 200 shad, 500 herring and abun.
dance of hickories was the result. Hope
he may succeed; he is very worthy man.
A boss fisherman on the North Eas,

We see by your last issue the thanks of
Sassafras Lodge to Almighty God and to
the Grand Jury for what has been done for
them by the restriction of some of the
liquor licenses in their District. Well, we
can thank Almighty God, but not the
Grand Jury for anything done in our Dis
trict. There was great excitement in this
place while the Grand Jury was in session,
aud great anxiety on the part of some,
but we are happy to know that two-thirds
of the citizens of this District are in favor
of no license at all, and more than that
would be in favor Of one instead of two.
The Good Templals are doing a noble work
i'll this place, but they need not be afraid
of running out of work, for we think that
they will always have plenty if they last as
long as the world does. There is a crowd
of young men and boys that take it into
their heads to try to break it up now and
then, and they get little liquor on and
come whooping and following around as if
they were unclvllzed. About their having
good sense, of course we cannot say, but
they certainly do not exercise good judg-
ment or they would not show themselves
IN such a condition at such Il place. The
Lodge was visited by the same crowd on
their last meeting night Saturday, April
l0th,( and moral suasion won't do any
good for them we would like to know if
there is not legal suasion that will.
The roads are improving in our neigh
borhood. The wheat and grass has begun
to green up. The trees are putting forth
buds, which, with the singing birds that
Inhabit their branches, cause us to think
Spring has at last come for certain. Some
of our farmers have their oats sowed.-
Fresh fish have made their appearance in
our village.

has been the watchword by the Western
Union Telegraph workmen, who have been
at work all the week taking up the cables
across the river, which are somewhat out of
order. They charter the Hdpre de Grace tug
boat in raising the cable, aud being SO heavy,
aud knocked out of place by the ice, the
undertaking is no small job. The cable
was found to be broken in several places
aud was all brought to shore at Havre de
Grace, where it Will be mended and thor
oughly tested and relaid. The wires now
cross through the railroad bridge, but there
is not much satisfaction in working them,
as they have to be cut every few hours,
whenever vessel passes through the draw.
This will soon be remedied.
The Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Com
pany, whose wires also cross on the bridge,
are making arrans ements TO remove them
round by Port Deposit again and to re es-
tablish their office here. which will be
done in the course of few weeks, if not
few days.

The Reading Reom.-The Reading Room
established last Fall through the public
spirit and active, pushing philanthropy of
few who have ever foremost in their
thoughts the welfare of their fellow man,
has proved blessing thus far, and sue
cess even beyond the expectation of its
originators. The Room has been great
benefit in affording quiet, attractive place
of resort, and by cultvating taste for
reading. The society numbers 90 men,
bers, and so useful and laudable an enter
prise should not be allowed to fail, and we
trust there is no danger of this-when it
has prospered SO we'll thus far. If all will
keep their promises by paying their dues
and subscriptions regularly, the society
cannot fail to be sustained, and when it is
fully realized how much pleasure and profit
is received for SO small an outlay, we can
not conceive that there is any one of the
so members who will hesitate moment or
manifest reluctance about paying up. In
deed 1t would seem that by little exertion
on the part of members that many more
names might be added to the membership;
and many persons who are not members,
would doubtless contribute toward the e1-
pense of the Room, if approached properly,
and the lasting benefit to young men that
results from the cultivation of a taste for
reading, above that of lounging about bar
rooms and other idle places, the haunts of
vice, were properly presented to them.
There will be business meeting of the
members at the Reading Rooms to night,
when these hints might be considered with
profit. All members are earnestly request
ed to attend.
