The Alpha Literary Association.

This association met last Saturday, as usual.
The school-house was crowded TO its utmost
capacity. The exercises were Interesting, con-
sisting of readings, defamation, dialogues, an
essay and debate. A defamation by VIM.
Reckord elected much ninth and laughter.
The dialogue, BY eight members, received much
applause. Master Harry Robinson deserves
much credit for the manner in which he per.
formed his part. The question for debate WIS,
(Which Is the more conducive TO happiness
married or single life?" Geo. w. Richardson
and Eugene Hollingsworlh, two confirmed old
bachelors, were ON the affirmative, and Silas
Norris and James Buckingham, two gentlemen
tied by the knot of matrimony, supported the
negative. Those on the affirmative appeared
extremely anxious to convince the audience of
the delights Of the married state; but 1t was q
mystery TO me how they could 80 speak, not
having any experience IN the matter.
The married men on the negative side por-
trayed the joys of bachelorhood so forcibly that
the judges deciued in their favor.
Tie next meeting will take place on satur-
day, the 10th. NIxEY.

PoTsoNEDFRo EATING CANNED FRUIr.-
On Sunday the family of Mr.. VIM. G. Jeffrey,
of this place, were taken violently i'll, after
eating peaches which had been sealed up
last summer in cans that were used the pre-
vious season The cans not being perfectly
air tight, the acid in the fruit dissolved the
thin coating of tin, which mingled with the
peaches and caused the sickness. The
prompt application of proper remedies by
DR.. r. D. Lee, doubtless prevented serious
result Housekeepers should be warned by
this case not to use tin cans for fruit a second
time. The coating of tin is generally 80

think it is due to our worthy smiths that
history be set right in their case. IT is true
that for some time past, they have been indici-
ent rs to cons tant work, for The reason that our
merchants some time ago adopted the cash sys-
TEN, and SO rigid were they that they would not
even trust our smiths, With all their ''money
enough " for horse shoes, nails &c. Under this
rule they concluded if their customers would not
pay, or at least furnish The material, their horses
would have to go without shoes this slippery
weather Let me say, our smiths have not re-
tired with "money enough" but are always
on hand 10 receive the Quid pro quo for their Ia

learn from good authority that application
will be made to the next meeting Of the Balti-
more Conference, in March, to change several
of the circuits in Hartford. For instance OAR
lington and Rock Run will be one station under
one pastor, who will preach every Sabbath in
each place. Now they have preaching every
other Sabbath. Bel Air and Mt. Zion are also
to become one station and to have preaching
every Sabbath. Aberdeen and another appoint.
mcut will also be likewise set apart for weekly
services. If this plan should be approved il
will be u decided step forward from the present
arrangement.
IMPROVEMENTS.
am gratined to hear that Mr.. G. Whitelock,
of Baltimore who recently purchased the Rob
nson property, in our prosperous village, in.
tends 10 erect several new dwellings in that
part of his land north of the shops We need
this kind of enterprise in our town.
1t is also given out that Mr.. w. II. II.
Whiteford intends TO build large store house
on his property. and to this end is now SELL
ing off his present stock at cost
We now have three large stores here and all
are doing we'll, selling of al cost TO close"
1t is not thought, however, that any of them
will "retire with money enough" but will
''pick the flint and try again" rs soon as spring
opens and Tilden is inaugurated.
DR.. Sappington expects to get into his fine
house early in the spring. 1t is now nearly fin.
ished.
The new Episcopal Church will soon be
ready for conservation. 1t will be fine and
costly structure.

/ am glad to hear from Dot, that my old
typo friend, of The fyiS, is making money
from the cash system. Our smiths have made
"money enough" by the credit system, Please

The SUsQUEHANNA RIvER--The ice in

without doing any damage. On Sunday
there was break, Up at McCals Ferry, rs
miles above Port Deposit, and considerable
gorge was formed, extending for five or six
miles above the Ferry. The water also rose
rapidly at Port Deposit, church services were
suspended, and preparations made to remove
household gools, &C., from the buildings ex.
posed to danger from the masses of ice which
it was expected would be hurled against them
by the stream. The river fell during the af-

The TRAMP NUIsANCE.-The following
law relating to tramps is found in the Code,
Article II, section II, of the local laws for
Hartford county. II has never been enforced,
10 our knowledge, but few examples under
its provisions might make the fraternity of
tramps little shy of Hartford county, The
only difficulty in the way, perhaps, would be
to find work for them TO do at the Almshouse
The law is as follows:
ANY Justice of the Peace, or any person
by him authorized and appointed, may APP
prehend, or cause to be apprehended and
committed to said almshouse, any vagranls,
vagahonds, beggars. and other idle, dissolute
and dsorderly persons found lettering or re-
siding in said county, who follow no trade
or occupation, and have no visible means of
subsistence, there to be kept at hard labor
for any time not exceeding three months,
and the oversccr shall receive the person so
committed"

GLOOMY STATEMENT.

The New York Telegram of July 9th,
published in its columns the following
gloomy account Of the condition ana
prospects Of the workingmen in the
neighboring city of Brooklyn:
The Summer OF 1877 thus far bids fair
to rank second to none in recruiting the
great army of unemployed laborers,
both skilled and unskilIed. Cleanly,
poor-l0oking nen stand on the street
corners looking wistfully up and down
the block for the sign of "a job" Aud
here and there, should an out building
be commenced, the applicants tor work
cluster IN crowds. The action OF the
Commissioners of the Board OF City
Works yesterday, in discharging large
Dumber OF laborars who we're engaged in
filling up Sunken lots, has led to severe
criticism, not only among the men who
were affected by the action, but also
among many taxpayers, who recognize
the propriety of giving work to the poor
laborers in the summer months, in order
that they may be able to save li,tls
money and make provisions of some dis
cription for their families for the winter.
The City Hall Park is the scene Of large
assemblages OF idle workmen daily, who
sit beneath the shade trees and look
toward the great marble structure as
though they were expecting momeDtarily
u summons from the municipal govern
ment officials to 20 to work. One of
these men remarked to his companions
to-day, The politicians make we'll of US
any how. They get our votes and after
that We may 60 to the poor-houss or to
prison. In winter they tell US We shall
have work when the snow disappears-
when the spring comes. In April they
tell Us the money is out, aud when at
last we get to work they discharge us,
telling us the taxes are too high aud ail
public works must stop. So here we
are, and the politicians are all right. "
