BRIEF, BUT APPROXIMATELY inaugu-
ral address of Governor Cleveland, Of New
York, was brief, but in exceeding good taste.
Addressing his fellow-citizens, he declared
that the interest now transferred to new
hands are theirs, and the duties newly as
sumed should be performed for their benefit
and good. The right to demand and the pow
er to enforce performance was in their hands,
and should be exercised. The Governor said
he entered upon his duties with profound
sense of their responsibilities, but his hope
was in the guidance of Divine Providence,
which he believed twill aid an honest design,
and the forbearance of just people, which he
trusted would recognize Il patriotic endeavor."
The impression created by Governor Cleve-
land was, according to all the Albany CORES
pOndents, altogether favorable, and he enters
upon his office with excellent prospects for a
highly creditable and successful administra-
tion.-Baltin,ore S,tl.

During dense fog carly Tuesday morning,
the Bay Line steamer Carolina, Capt. VIM. &.
Whittlr, accidentally strnck the British steamer
Riversdale, which was anchored off Cedar Point
The Riyersdale failed TO sound her fog horn, as
required by law, and was therefore not discover
ed until too late to avoid a collision. The
course of the Carolina was changed the instant
the steamer was seen, and the latter was there
fore struck sdewisc The Carolina in gancing
along the side of the Riversdale had number
of her state rooms crushed. The passengers
on the Carolina were greatly frightened, but
Captain Waffle, who was in the pilot-house
when the accident occurred, by his GOODNESS and
presence Of mind reassure them of their safety.
The boats were lowered and every map, woman
and child taken on board the Riversdale, which
was only slightly injured. Captain Whtte was
the last TO leave his vessel. After seeing hs
passengers safe on board the English steamer
he returned to the Carolina, and finding her in
no danger of sinking, all the passengers, except
two returned TO the vessel, which arrived safely
in Baltimore. Capt. Whittle deserves great
praise for his GOODNESS and bravery, which prob
ably averted frightful disaster.

Mr.. Spencers lane, amidst the jingling of sleigh
bells and merry peals of laughter. The party
dismounted and invaded the house without giving
any alarm to the inmates, who. however, were
not frightened, but cordially welcomed their IN
expected guests. The evening was passing de-
lightfuly until some of the guests began to dis
appear. Their disappearance was remarked as
singular, but was accounted for when they were
found surrounding table heavily laden with
good things to which ample justice was done by
all, as usual. AT 2 O'Clock, A. M. the guests dis
persed.

A Raid on SusInehanna POt.Hunters.

For several weeks past owners of different
ducking shores on the Gunpowder, Susquellanna
and Bush rivers have made frequent complaints
against the unlawful and damaging work OF
certain gunners, known as "pothunters," who
killed ducks at night with the aid of large guns
strapped TO the bow of their boats. A gun
about seven feet long, patterned after the ordi.
nary ducking guns, but capable of carrying ~
pounds OF shot, was used. The boat was rowed
quietly out into the stream, near the feeding
place of the ducks, the gun trained on ii rock,
killing many at discharge, and soaring the
rest away from the feeding grounds. The dep
relations Of the "pot,hunters" We're so disas-
trous to the Legitimate gunners that ii became
necessary to take some decided action in the
matter. The law positively forbids the
killing of ducks at night, either from boats or
shore, or by means of those guns, under pen
atty of from $50 to $3.50" Marshal Gray was
consulted, and he sent Detective Mark Hagan
to Iavre dc Grace last Monday. Bya little work
he gained the friendship of some violators of the
law. One of these took him on an expedition,
when 100 ducks were destroyed, but the detec-
tive did not arrest his instructor, hoping to cap.
ture some of the Others. lie sent TO Baltimore
for aid, and Detectives Mitchell and Gault who
were accompanied by Mr.. John +. Semmes,
attorney for the ducking clubs, went on Thurs.
day to Havre dc Grace Eleven of the pot
hunters, well armed, were intrenched on Spesu.
tia Island and defed the detectives. Mr.. Semmes
hoistcd flag of truce and parleyed with the
hunters, finally persuading them to abandoned
their determination to oppose the officers on the
ground that the detectives, if necessary,
would be reinforced, and intenped to take the
offenders, no matter at what risk. Washing
ton Barnes and James Holly two of the princi-
pal hunters, were arrested and their guns cap
tured The men were taken before Justice
Harris, of Aberdeen, Hartford county, and fined
$50 and costs. Their guns were brought to the
city and destroyed. One of them was valued at
5000, and was a fine piece of mechanism. 1t is
the intention TO send other detectives to the
ducking shores TO prevent any further depreda-
tions of spot hunters"
