Mrs. Margaret McCaskey, for the last
fifty years resident of Havre de Grace, died
at that place, on the 31st of January, in the

Our esteemed contemporary, Tile Delta
Times, we regret to learn, has ceased to exist.

We have received enough communica-
tions upon the Liquor License Question to
make good sized volume. Some of them
are not accompanied by the name of the
writer, and therefore can not he published
others are so badly written with pencil on
both sides of thin paper, that the labor of
copying them, unless they possess unusual
merit, is too great to be undertaken. Cor
have to say, write plainly, with ink, on one
side of the paper only, and send their real
names with their communications.
The wild ducks, it appears, were mis-
taken in returning to their feeding grounds
in the belief that winter was over. The
ground hog knew better, however. Alarmed
by his shadow, on Candemas Day, he
sensibly retired to his hole, in time to escape
the severcst touch of winter we have yet had
On Thursday of last week lively snow
storm set in, and by Friday morning the
earth was covered with an Arctic robe of
white OF course every body who possessed
a sleigh took advantage of the occasion, and
our streets were enlivened for several days
by the merry jingle of the bells A thaw,
however, set in, the snow disappeared, and
the roads are again nearly rs bad rs they
were two weeks ago.
