by the resignation of Mr.. Rhctt. tool; his
seat on Monday.
There have been some exciting scenes
i'll the House of Representatives this
week. but little or no business tr.lusact-
ed. The confusion was so great 1T one
time that the Speaker stated that if it
continued he should deem ii imperative
to suspend business. and probably to pur.
sue some other course. as he could not
consent to hold the position he occupied
unless better order were preserved in tlr
hall.
The Senate of Maryland has passed the
small note bill. with House amcnimert<
and the bill is now law. (The bill pro-
videS that all foreign bank notes less

notes less than 81 after the first of
March next.
The bill to repeal the stamp act WAS

The bill to reduce the dircct tax from

BRIDGE AT HAVRE DE GRACE

The SuSuuchanna Bridge Bill was re-
frrrrd TO the last session of the Legisla-
ture on Monday last by il vote in the
House Of Delegates, of % to ~. On
Wednesday Il motion was made to recon-
slider the vote, which was lost by a vote
of 3;'3 to 81: so the Bridge battle is over
for this season.
Among those who voted for the refer
cncc was Mr.. WcathcrS. of Baltimore,
for which we see that some of the papers
of that city are down on him." We
cannot help thinking that # the same
spirit which influences other business
communities, prevailed in Baltimore. pub
lie sentiment would be the reverse in re-
gard to this question.
The Philadelphia Ledger has been one
of the most earnest a"vo"1tcS of the
bridge. and in II complaint, made on
Wednesday. against the late action of
our Legislature. remarks:
'Philadelphia and New York will be
the gamers, Baltimore and the travelling
public generally til" sufferers
To the general reader il might seem
strange, that the Ledger, the interests of
which are Identical with the interests of
Philadelphia. should grow lHchrymosc
over IN act by which that city is the
gnincr and II rival city the loser but he
who remembers the distractions thrown
III the way of the passage of merchan-
disc from New York westward. by way
of Pennsylvania public works. on which
freight from Philadelphia always had
the preferences, will readily imagine that
the Ledgers anxiety is founded in the
fact that, the bridge built. goods from
that city could pass westward ut the
very season western merchants are in
this direction making purchases. without
the usual barrier placed in the way by
the SuSquchannn.
The railroads up in Pennsylvania
blocked with Snow-the ferry mt IInvrc
de Grace shut with icc-goods thus pre-
vented from passing from Philadelphia;
thousands upon thousands of dollars
worth are hence purchased in Baltimore.
which, without these natural difficulties.
would be bought in Philadelphia. This
the Ledger and the business men of Phil.
adelphia see; strange that Batimorcans
do not see it, as Mr.. WcathcrS seems to
have done. and seeing it, rather initiate
PhiladclphianS in adding to the natural
projections to their business. than busy
themselves in removing the barriers in
the way of rival.

A large congregation gathered at
the Methodist Church on Sunday
morning to enjoy the Easter Services.
Miss Bowman played an exquisite
voluntary with a delicacy Of touch and
sweetness of expression that charmed
her hearers. An Anthem mighty
Jehovah" from BeIlini, was given
by the full choir, Mr.. Fred Martens
taking the solo parts. Mr.. Martens has
a baratone voice of great power and
sweetness, and that rarest OF gifts, a
clear enunciation, so that not a word
or thought was lost. Mr.. Shaefer's
singing is always appreciated, and his
beautiful voice was never heard tC
greater advantage than in "Hosanna'

delivered by the Presiding Elder of the
Natchez District, Rev. 7. S. Adams
following by the sacramental service.

The merchants of this town are
doing all in their power to fill their
stores with goods that win satisfy the
buying public, hence obviating the ne
cessity Of the ladies sending to Chica-
90, New York and other cities for
their dress goods, etc. This enterprise
on the part of the merchants not only
evinces the prosperity that our county
is enjoying but it is an assurance Of the
fact that the business men have con-
fidence in the future of the town and
are giving it what aid that lies within
their power.

At a business meeting at ST. Paul's
Episcopal Church, on Monday morning
the Annual reports were submitted
and the financial conditions were all
right. The Church having met all OBJ
legations, starts the New Years work
bright and promising. An election Of
the Vestry closed this meeting, and all
left, feeling happy, especially the Rec
tor in charge, who loves to feel that,
perhaps, spiritual zeal among his
people prompts them to see to it, that
financial results in support of church
win surely follow.

The weather during this week, prior
to Friday, was all that could have been
wished for by the farmers, and it is
needless to say it was taken advan-
tage of. Most of the farmers have
finished planting corn, but very
small percentage of the cotton lands
are broken up, possibly one-fourth
at the outside. The rain yesterday
morning will necessarily cause another
delay. Our county has cause, how
ever, to feel thankful in having missed
the floods that swept large portion
of this state.

was decorated, for about the seventy
sixth time in its eventful life, and al
though not so elaborate as on many
former occasions, was very tastefully
and prettily done. The bridal wreath
and white flags" in large clusters,
looked quite artistic, while the pot
plants, consisting of Gala Lilies and
ferns were simply beautiful, arranged
as they were about the chancel. The
grand old organ, fully repaired not
long since, seemed to have taken on a
, new life, and its sweetest tones were
brought forth under the skillful touch
Of Miss Noble, as organist. This lady
has voluntarily given her services to
st. Paul's, as organist, for many years,
and the Vestry and congregation are
grateful to her for her untiring zeal,
her sweet music adding its part to the
beautiful Prayer-book service. The
singing Of the difficult parts was well
rendered by the choir. The sermon
| by Rev. Mr.. Brown was eloquent and
appropriate to the occasion, and was
listened to by the large congregation
with close and earnest attention.

The ladies of the Episcopal Church
are earnestly working for their sale,
which they have decided positively to
have on Tuesday evening, April 22nd,
at Masonic Hall. They respectfully
ask that patronage be extended them.
All can come and not feel obliged to
buy useless things, but an assurance
goes out from these ladies in charge,
that many useful articles are made,
and still being made, such as aprons,
bonnets, children's clothes, as well as
the pretty and ornamental.
