as large al immigration to the State as could
have been wished. This is accounted for on

The Scare at Port Deposit.

The following a. the condition of affairs
at Port ~ t-lrgraphed at late hour night
before last. The excitement has been very
high for the last forty-eight hours, and there
is every prospect of another disastrous wash
out that may fully equal the terrible one Of
1876, when the water overtiowe'i the first
flor Of thu Port Deposit National Bank
building, and destroyed many thousand
dullars worth Of lumber and other proparty.
The residents Of the buildings on the side OF
their valuables to places Of safety, aud are
prepared to follow at a moments notice,
should the danger become imminent. The
rolling stock Of the Port Deposit and Col
umbia and Baltimore and Philadelphia Cen
trail railroad are kept on the track III u safe
place a mile or NO north of the town. If the
gorge At Culiy's Station, twelve miles north
of this place breaks before the solid ice
leaves the river between Mount Ararat and
Watson's Island, the worst fears Of the riti-
zens will lie realized. At Wild Cat Falls
several large gorges have been formed, but
only where no damage can he done. The
largest and one whirh presents beautiful
appearance from shore, formed in the mid
die of the river, about halfa mile above
Wild Cat, on a clust-f of rocks. 1t is thirty
feet high, with archways perfectly formed,
and wide enough for a common row boat 10
pass through.
We presume that by the time this reaches
our readers the cold snap will have re iuced
matters to state of safety. There is now
no i,c below the railroad, and above the
gorge holds matters. so for the present the
| scare i. about at AN end.

ELTON Boys at an Auction.

During the past week an auction of the
stock and fixtures of the hardware store of
Dir. Samuel s. Ram!'o, on Main street, has
been held The sale was under the .lirec-
ton Of the Sheriff, and goods were run off
regardless of cost. The audience both day
and evening during the continuance of the
sale was large, the store room being packed
The bulk of the buyers seemed To consist of
young men, who appeared to take great in
terest in the sale, and competition among
them run high, bidding against each other,
without regard TO the vau" of the article
offered. Many amusing scenes occurred.
One young gentleman, Who does not boast
of the proprietorship Of a family, WAS seen
going home carrying large lot of a B c
toy plates Another was loaded with iron
foot scrapcrs. Another was the happy OF
unhappy purchaser of more big heavy steel
clrisels than he was able to carry. The
stock, az a rule, sold low and quite a num-
her of bargains were secured

to recover appetite and strength, and after
lingering few days died as stated. Her

Shot for Snow Balls.

A shooting ARRAY took place at Charles
town, in this county, recently between y
couple OF boys, more youthful in years than
those usually mixed up in such scraps. A
lad by the name of Calvert, aged ten or
twelve years, amused himself by snow ball
ing playmate named Burroughs, of about
the saino age. The latter becoming tired of
the sport warned the other that if he did
not desist, he would get his gun and shoot
him. This threat had no effect, and the
snow baller made the missels fly thelivelier
Burroughs now thoroughly incensed enter
ed his home, and taking up his gun reap
pexred and let his assailant have the con-
tents. Tho gun WAS loaded with fins shot
and did but little damage, merely singing
Calvert right snartly. The matter WAS
placed in the hands of States Attorney
Crothers, and prosecution determined on
by Calverts friends at first, but they have

a bad name, but his wife belonged to .
