For the last three weeks every one who
could raise a sleigh rig have been enjoying
themselves TO their hearts content. Our
roads have been one mass of compact, solid
ice, and the thaw-up on Monday made some
of our young folks think that their intended
sleighing parties for this week would have to
be put off; but ere the dawn of Tuesday morn
ing they found that the earth was again white
with new supply of snow.
During the past week there has been great
deal of coasting by the young folks, and even
some of the older ones took very active
hand Judging from the alacrity and dex-
terity of all who took an active part in the
amusement, one would suppose that the coast
ers were trying to excel even Sir Isaac New
toms boyhood researches to tellt velocity
and power of the wind.
Mr. Richard Owings, who shot himself on
New Year day, is convalescent. Mr.. Owings
is much respected by all who know him, and
during his aff1iction he has had many visits
from anxious friends.
Mr.. Adam Rupert, living near Shipley P.
O., has been afflicted for long time with an
internal and kidney affection. He and his
wife left home on Monday for Baltimore. We
understand that Mr.. Rupert expects to I'M
dergo surgical operation while gone.

HOppe Will Case.

The case of John G. Byers and Ann Byers,
his wife. claiming 1000 of the estate of the
late j. Henry Hoppe, has almost come to
close. The trial in the Washington county
court decided that the letter written to Mrs.
Byers, telling her that she would get
$40, 900 at Mr. Hopes death, will or no will,
was a genuine letter, written and signed by
Mr.. Hoppe. The case was taken to the Court
of Appeals on exceptions to the ruling of the
court. and the Court of Appeals sustained the
court below. The letter was then offered as
a testamentary paper in the Orphans Court
of Carroll. Issues were framed and taken
to Court of Appeals to ascertain whether the
letter was sufficient as will. On Friday Of
last week Judge Miller handed down the
opinion of the Court, deciding that it was a
will. What will be the next step by the defense
is not known, but it seems to be the general
opinion among legal gentlemen that Mrs
Byers has won her case and will get the S40,'
600 promised in the letter written to her by
Mr. Hoppe.

Havre de Grace water worls.

Col. W. W. Taylor, who so satisfactorily
built the Westminster water-works, has Just
completed az work for the citizens of Havre de
Grace upon the same plan. Havre de Grace
is place of about 1900 population, situated
on the western bank of the Susquehanna river,
in Hartford county, Md. The site of the town
is nearly level, though three-quarters of a
mile northwest is a range of hills with an ele-
yation of two hundred feet above the place.
Upon one OF these IS located the reservoir,
with capacity OF four millions OF gallons,
suihcIent Tor three months supply. The
water Is drawn from the Susquehanna by a
| pipe projecting 500 feet out into the river, and
is forced into the reservoir by u Blake steam
pump, capable of pumping $4,000 gallons an
hour; In all particulars the works are like
the Westminster works. At Havre de Grace
Col. Taylor displayed the same energy that he
did here, and in the space of about three
months completed the work.
On Wednesday the works were turned over
to the corporation and water company. On
| that day a thorough test was made of the ca
pacity of the works to subdue fire, and it
proved very satisfactory one. Besides the
Mayor and Council of Havre de Grace, men,

Society was held on Monday evening, the 14th
inst The exercises consisted of music and a
lecture entitled "a Lesson on the Science Of
Language, by Rev. Rupp. The lecture was
an able production and very interesting and
instructive. But after lecturing an hour and
being fearful of wearying the audience, the
speaker closed after delivering about half the
lecture. We hope however that he will favor
the Society with the balance before long.
