THE ROADS.
The public roads are still the subject of
general complaint, and the road from Mr..

to be very bad, and merits the attention of
the County Commissioners; at least so

gold ores from Colorado. One specimen
Mr. Hanes obtained some seven hundred

Proceedings of Court.

The December term of the Circuit Court,
for Cecil county, began on last Monday,
which was consumed in the transaction of
the usual routine of business. The term
will probably be a short one.
The following cases have been disposed
of up to the time We go to press:
Luke Brown, executor of Allen Kirk IS.
John Kirk. This was an action brought
by the executor of Allen Kirk, deceased,
to. recover sum of money which, it was
alleged, the said deceased had given his son
john Kirk in his life time-aS ii conditional
gft-as his share of the testator's estate,
he supposing, at the time of making the
gift, that he would leave property enough
to allow each of his children an equal sum.
This not being the case, his executor
brought this suit for the purpose of equal
IZiug the share of each of his children.

EXTRA SERVICE.

The extra meeting here progresses with
considerable interest, last Sunday being
quarterly meeting occasion. The Presiding
Elder, Mr.. Hill, preached an eloquent and
powerful sermon from the words, " Have
faith in God" to a large audience.
DIED FROM COLD.
On Saturday morning, 3lst inst, the body
of man, we'll known in this community
as David Maccaffady, was found in the
yard by John Cavender. 1t is thought he
went there for shelter They were away
from home, and the night was extremely
cold and being in state of intoxication,
he perished. He was a very peaceable man
but would take to sprees now and then.
The scene was very sad one on Sabbath
morning, to see him inferred in a cold bury
ing ground on the farm of Mr.. Megill,
where many faithful colored servants

performed the last sad offices of burial.

THE ANNUAL MEETING,

AROUND
Two men, with performing bear, entered
our town limits on last Saturday evening,
giving a street entertainment for the usual
hat collection, but only a few Juveniles
being present, not very large collection
was taken, and Mr. Bear, was stabbed until
Monday morning, when they took their
departure for Baltimore and the South.
THE REVIVAL,
as announced some time ago i'll our items as
being of so much interest, is still continued
nightly, and we hope that the seed sowD,
will bring forth an abundant harvest, yet
we feel that many who have made profess
sion are only adding fuel to the fire, as it
has been noticed by numerous parties that
some of them have been found behaving
very unbecomingly, even after being ad
mitted to membership. Young men beware.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Mr.. Levi r. Mearns has just completed d
large and commodious hog house. VIM.
Mcdowell is erecting an addition to his
barn. We also notice that Mr.. John Kirk
has repaired his house, 10y putting new
roof on, and, taking it altogether, we find
that the farmers of the Ninth district are
not behind those of any other district in
the way of improvement, particularly in
the vicinity Of our thriving little town
the BRICK.
