On Saturday night last, brush maker nameC

| Philadelphia road, came home in an intoxicated
condition and kicked over the supper table anC
| tried to upset the stove, and when his daughter
demonstrated with him he struck her with a wate

peace. DIR. VIM. III. Mace was called in to dress
the daughters wound.
Our county roads are now in a most wretched
condition, in many places almost impossible.
Some who travel them have to haul stone and fill
up the holes before they can get to the pike. The
old practice still continues in mending roads
throwing nothing but dirt into them and when we
have a winter like the present one, or when the
frost comes out of the ground they become impas-
sable.
What has become of your correspondents from
other portions of the 18th district viz, Orange
vile, Stemmer's Run, &C.? Have they become
weary in well doing or have they moved West?
They will certainly not get an invitation to the
entertainment.
have heard considerable complaint lately that
our omnibuses do not run on regular time and
often they engaged to drive companies to par
ties &C., and their patrons wait for hours and
when they do not come they are obliged to walk.
They should give notice when they are engaged.
The coaches are all to be re-painted for spring
use. NJ A. R.

Oyster Supper-HymeniaI-L iterary-Sabbath
iSchool-Ice, &c.-The members of Union chapel,
near Sweet Air, held meat and oyster supper on
Friday evening, 18th inst, and Notwithstanding
the disagreeable weather, it was well patronized.
The profits went towards paying the minister's
salary. On the succeeding evening Saturday a
free musical and literary entertainment was given
to those who attended the supper.
Mr.. VIM. Chapman was married on Tuesday,
10th inst, to Miss Sallie Bell, the ceremony being
performed at st. Johns church, Kingsville, by
Rev. E. A. Wroth. Mr.. Chapman has purchased
the farm of Thomas B. Gorsuch, in Illinois, and
will shortly remove there with his bride.
The "Irving" met at the usual hour on Wednes-
day evening last. The programme ofthe evening
was of an interesting character After readings
and declarations were gone through with the
question, "Resoiccd, That inventions benef-
cial to the laboring class" argued by Messrs.
Geo. II. Riley and j. L. Duncan on the afirma-
tive and D. S. Wright and 0. McCourtenay, on
tho negative. The judges rendered a unanimous
decision in favor of the former.
The civilian Pinkney Whyte' society still
continues in a fourshing condition.
Some of our neighbors have taken advantage of
the slight change in the weather and have filled,
or partly filed their ice-houses. The ice was
about three inches thick, including the frozen
snow.
There will be many changes in our peaceful lit
tie "burg" the coming spring. Our kind and
genial neighbor, Mr.. Warfel, contempates moving
to Perry Hall farm; Mr.. Tucker, of Hartford
county, will succeed him.
1 noticed in your local columns last week an
item in regard to the "mock trial. held by the
driving" that verdict of guilty was brought in
against the King (Alcohol) This is mistake.
The judges returned verdict of not guilty.
