About Profanity.
WooD LAWN, March 9Th, 1855

" ppD LA W NJ NldICH 0Gu, 1000.
Mr.. Edior:-For long time the heart
of the writer has been panied to see the
growing tendency to profanity in our
neigh borhood. These are SO many espec
tally among the young men who cal
scarcely talk three minutes without ut
;eriug oaths and curses. Well says one,
What are you going to do about it?"
You can't stop peoples mouths, aud yoa
cau't convert every body. OF course we
don t expect every body TO be religious,
nor even strictly moral, but we do believe
that there might easily be great change
wrought for the better. Well now: Why
IN the first place we will try to think. Ii
they would only think how it sounds to
the good, pure women (some of whom
are no doubt nightly praying for their
reformation in this respect) with whom
they are daily brought in contact to hear
their blessed Master uame taken in vain
almost continually, the.e is no doubt in
our MIND, that the rising oath would
often be smothered down. In the seconu
place, il the writer is not mistaken there
Is d law on our statute books which says,
ANY one swearing in public shall be
fined" Oh, says another, that is an ar
bitrary law. Arbitrary? Is the law pun
ishing stealing au arbitrary law? Is the
law making it the most heIuous crime iii
law? Now if yUa will turn to the TWEEN
tisth chapter OF Exodus you will find side
b. side the law prohibiting stealing, aud
murder, and the taking OF the Lord
name IN vain, with this difference to make
it more emphatic: He says, The Lord
will not hold him guiltless that taketL
His name III vain" Oh, the guilt that
hangs on ST. many who day after day go
on lndulging i'll this perniclous habit.
Appalling thought L. makes one snud

been erased from our statute books why
is 1t not enforced? The writer mas heard

The Proposed New Railroad.

The people OF the Eastern SAnre ,.f
Maryland seem determined 81 nave a
railroad extending through all the cDun-
ties cnnnectiug them with Bal. imore
without the use of the Delaware railroad
and its branches. The recent action of
the Pennsy !vania Railroad Company
Increasing passenger iares from three to
four cents IA mile, except for excursion
tickets, and freight rates one third on all
the Maryland branch roads, has stirred up
the people more than ever. This advance
movement for q road from Ekton down
the peninsula.
Ar important step in the direction of Il
new road was taken on Saturday morning
last in Elkton. While on their way
home from Annapolis, Senators Samuel
X. Dennis, OF Worcester county, Joseph
Fl. johnson. Of Dorchester, John B.
Brown, of Queen Anne'S, William d
Bnrchinal, of Kent, and G.. w. Colds
borough, of Caroline, stepped off the
morning train at the depot where before
Magistrate John Partridge they acknow
ledged their signatures to the articles O
incorporation of the Baltimore aud Cape
Charles Railroad This was done under
Article Al, Revised Code of the laws OF
the State which provide that the sigma
ture of the cUrporatoIs be acknowledged
before a justice OF the peace or one OF
the counties through which it is proposed
Tor the road to pass. The signatures mad
been ack owiedged before IA magistrate

provision OF the Incorporat, Ii law had
been examined. Senators linton Ne

o! Somerset. acknowledged THEN sigma
Senator f. Stanley Toadvin, OF WIcom-
leo, the only incorporation that has not
yet acknow ledged his signature
The incorporators state i'll the paper
signed by them: Our object in thus
associatIug and forming ID corporation
is for the purpose OF constructing, main.
tanning, using, leasing, working aud pur-
chasing railroad or railroads on the
Eastern Shore in Cecil, Kent, Qnaen
Anne s, Caroline, Dorchester, Wlcomico,
Somerset aud Worcester counties" The
name OF the company is Tine Baltimore
and Cape Charles Railroad Company"
1t is proposed for the road to begin at a
point i'll Cecil county near the town of
Elktop, on the B fillmore aud Phiadal-
phIa Railroad, a branch of the Baltimore
aad OHIO Railroad, thence in a southerly
direction by the most practical line or
route, through the said counties to the
lines dividing the State of Maryland and
Virginia, and TO connect with and operate
other roads. The capital stock is named
at $500, 600. The shares are $50 each.
1t is proposed to build a connecting road
from the State line to Cape Charles under
tue Incorporation law OF Virginia. We
hope that the new enterprise may receive
the hearty cGpport that it merits.
