Mr.. EDITOR This little village is situated
on the Susquehanna, opposite Havre de Grace,
and has population of probably two hundred
souls. 1t is also the terminus of the Railroad
from Philadelphia via Port Deposit, where trains
from the latter place make regular connections
with all trains on the P, w. and B. Railroad
from Baltimore to Philadelphia.
AT present business here is dull, but the mild
weather is beginning to put those who take the
finny tribe in the notion of trimming their nets
spring fishing. The river between this place
and Port Deposit is covered with ice, with the
exception of some small places where the water
has worked its way through Despite the mild
weather it still retains strong hold here. No
fears are entertained, However Of any damage.
The river below the railroad bridge is almost
entirely clear of ice, and he distant boom Of
the ducker's gun is heard on the days sci apart
for that sport. Ducks are reported few in mum
Der, and from what gather here, the duckers
are not very well repaid for their trouble. Can
vass backs are selling ut 81 so per pair, and
redheads aud blackheads in proportion as to
quality.
The new iron railroad bridge that spops the
river here, is nearly completed, having but
three spans and the draw 10 put up, and when
finished Will be II very tine structure. The rail
road company contemplate finishing ii as soon
as the spring opens. Nothing seems TO be doing
yet among the farmers, although the land in
this locality seems 10 be of good quality and
very productive The people generally are con
siderably interested III the Presidential ques.
