Ayers Sarsaparilla thoroughly cleanses the
blood, stimulates the vital functions and re-
stores the health and strength. No one whose
blood is impure can feel well. There is a
weary languid feeling, and often q sense of
Ciiscouragement and dependency. Persons
having the feeling should take Ayers Sarsap-
parilla to purify and vitalize the blood.

Trouble with the New Oyster Steamers.
The new oyster steamers-the
Gov. McLane aud Gov. Thomas
recently built by Philadelphia con-
tractors, are giving the State officials
a great deal of uneasiness, and will
result. it is thought, in no little ex-
pense. Objection was raised to these
steamers from the first by Commander
WaddeII, Of the oyster navy, and their
defects pointed out to the Board Of
Public Works, but as the steamers
were built according to instructions
and plans furnished them, and &C.
cepted by the State, it is said no re-
sponsibility can rest upon the build
ers. The boilers Of these steamers
are claimed to be Of inferior iron, and
have already shown weakness in
their construction. At the last meet
ing of the Board of Public Works an
examination was ordered to be made
of the boilers of these steamers, which
we're reported to be in leaking con-
dition. The boiler Of the McLane
was examined yesterday and that of
the Gov Thomas will be made as
soon as she returns to Annapolis,
when the report of the examination
will be submitted to the Board Of
Public Works.
Two Eastern Shore gentlemen, one
a Senator the other Delegate, were
made the majority of q Commission
to contract for the steamers, and the
Governors name was thrown in to
give color and dignity to the whole
scheme. The Governor was too wise
however, not tosee through the whole
business, and he sent word to have
his name taken off the Commission
and that of Capt. J. [. Waddell, sub
stituted. This was refused although
the captain was known professionally
and unknown personally to tbe bal
ance of the Commission The first
specification under which the bids
were made, was one thing, the second
specification under which the boats
were built, were another. The boats
were handed over to the State minus
Q number of articles usual to stea.
mers.

Baltimore, now Of Norfolk, Va. q
well-known lumberman, put In here
on Friday evening, with . floating
saw mill, in tow OF the steamer Free
Canal" bound for Norfolk. The
steamer being slow and fearing the
weather and ice, Captain Tobey con-
cluded to put in here and procure ad
ditional assistance. He left here res.
terday for Baltimore, where he pro-
cured the tughoat Alexander Jones, !,
Capt. CottrelI, to assist in towing
his floating saw mill to Norfolk. The
mill was built i'm New York at cost
Of $4,000, and has capacity Of saw
ing $4,000 feet of lumber per day.

and Chowan rivers, and will also
work with his floating mill 10 the re-
gions of North Carolina.

few doors below his former place Of
business where he intends keeping q

Rain and Fog.

For several days past the atmos.
phere has been murky and gloomy,
dense fogs pevailing greater part Of
the time, accompanied with misty
rain. Last night the rain poured 10
tarrents for some time, and this MORN
ing the fog was so dense that objects
were scarcely desernable across the
street. Many vessels and the daily
steamers have been unable to navigate
ia consequence and the oyster trade
has also been retarded from the same
cause.

ina Bad Way.

A United States marine stationed
at the Naval Academy created some
excitement while on duty few days
ago by hurrahing for President-elect
Cleveland. When asked by O naval
officer why be did so when on duty,
he replied that the prospect Of meet
ing an uncle whom be bad not seen
for long time had SO overjoyed him
that he could not resist expressing
himself in the manner indicated. As
the marine has acted strangely for
some time and is thought to be men
tally deranged, O medical survey will
be had 10 his case.

Filling Up.

The purveyor of Bayview reports
that institution containing 972 in
mates larger number than was
ever know in the.asylnm before, and
attributes the great increase to the
oyster dredging business. Bayview
is not the only AImshouse that is be-
ing filled with inmates at this season
Of the year, as many find their way
into these institutions in the counties
also. Anne Arundel generally has
her quota of this class of unfortunates
at this season ofthe year.

The pavements and streets were
covered yesterday morning with q
CLASSY coating Of ice from the rain
which fell the night previous, and q
grand skating and sled carnival was
at once inauguraEed by the juveniles
of the town. The pavements and
sidewalks along the different streets
that had not been sprinkled with coal
ashes and saw dust, presented an
animated appearance, being crowded
with boys and girls gliding swiftly
and gracefully over the frozen surface.
Considerable fun was had and some
udicrous scenes were afforded as
those unfortunate wights not used to
skates took sudden and undignifed
positions on the slippery pavements.

Hon George CoIton's Lecture.

The Hon. Geo. Cotton, Of Balti-
more city, says the Baltimorean, lee
tured in the City Hall at Havre de
Grace, last Tuesday night, under The
auspices of the knights Of ST. Leo.
The attendance was large and the en-
joyment complete. The lecturer kept
the attention Of his audience from be-
ginning TO close, and between his
many side splitting anecdotes and
humorous incidents, there were occa-
sional touches Of pathos which elected
the unbidden tear. Altogether, the
success Of the effort was beyond ques-
tion. Mr. Cotton lectures here II

Sunday School on the 5th Of Febru-
ary next, when we predict for him b
crowded house.
