')00 Another Chapter on liormotui--The Bill to Abolish Polagamy—Examlna . tion of Witneses by a Congress ional Commi s ttee...An Inter. Workingment of the of the Dior mon System. • Special Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Additional evidence has been taken be fore the House Territorial Committee re garding the condition of thln , s in Utah, and more especially relating to the enforce ment of the laws there. The bill to abolish polygarity was before the House to-day for A short time, and will be considered again to-morrow. The testimony just taken al ludes to Brigham Young's refusal to pay his internal revenue taxes, and other inter esting matters. EVASION 01 , REVENL'E LAWS. John P. Taggart, the assessor for Utali, testified that confirmed Mormons recognize and observe no law except such as they are compelled to observe; they do not scruple at any means they can contrive to evade the revenue law. The witness said I noti fied Brigham Young, through my assistant assessor to make out a return of the income of the "Church of Jesus Christ of Letter- Day Saints," of the property of which he is trustee. In response he sent me a sarcastic reply. Young's name is not signed to it, but the assistant assessor makes an afilda- Nit attached to it. I had him do it, because I know Young well enough to know that he would crawl out of the matter if he mould, 'rho following is the paper: "August 20, 18'39.—We, the government of the United States, have no knowledge of any such person as the trustee in trust of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Bay Saints, nor of any such organization as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Bay Saints. If there ever was such an officer, or such an organization, we, thegovern ment of the L'nited States, have obliterated them Out of existence by legal enact ment." The witness went on to say that lie was finally compelled to make his own assess ment, and it amounted to $60,000; that it Was impossible to get a witness before the grand jury to indict any one for bigamy.— In this connection lie says that Brigham grants divorces (hr 'Ol each, and gives the form of the paper which is drawn up. It Is Merely all agreelllellt hetWeell the par ties asking divorce, signed Iry both parties and witnessed. Ifonepartv ref u ses to sign, and Brigham is convinced that tiny ought to be separated, Brigham signs Tor (limn ; it Was not permitted to go to the co ur ts, .except as a matter of Torn,. Nit[l'Uli: All AI NS . I . /I,l'llA The witneKli further testified as that lows: 'This (exhibiting :mother paper to the com mittee) is a legacy return, the first ever made in that Territory. There is a list of forty-one names, the children of I Leber E. Kimball ; lie had fifty-four children in 1111, 1/11t thirteen of them died. I have taken the strong physitflogival ground—though Young sacs I " lie like hell "—that the Al mighty himself lots providisl for the drown ing out of twlygamy through the operation of natural laws. I base the opinion on the fact that out of every hundred children 'horn in polygamy, seventy-live are males. I have the statistics of two hundred tool fifty-seven i l allllllo,-11111111 , 111St picked up here and there, not selected with ally refer ence to this question—and in those two hundred and lifts-seven falltilleS, eighty three out of each hundred of the children are males. The day before I left, David Candland, chief clerk of the Co operative Mereantile Institution, told MO that he had fifteen little, boys , under eleven years of age, and six daughters. PAN I.OI,ISiANIY PRP:VENTED? The witness le,tilied his belief that the i proposed hill or some other of similar pro visions could he ell Forced. I lesaid : "Just now the people are wonderfully excited, and playing their usual game or kiwi. ma • should this bill pass, I and confident that Brigham Young WO.llll have another reve lation very quick, commanding that polv•g done away with.

In regard to the Wteleill voting for polyg,ainy, the witness said ho would expect them to vote that way, or vote in : any way without exeeption tint Brigham Young wants them to solo. MAltlttAiiiil AND 111Ville•lii, .J. 11.

It is true that this man Brooks did, on several occasions, importune me to procure for Min such an appointment. It is not true that I ever agreed to procure one for any price or consideration, or far any sum named or unnamed. Perhaps I should have unceremoniously kicked this man from my presence; but I those rather to use mild means, and therefore resorted to the professional expedient of demanding a re tainer of $2OOO, which I judged rightly to be liar beyond his ability to pan•. I followed this demand by the declaration that the aeceptanee of this retainer would in no way bind me to procure for hiw an appointment; nor had it any reference whatever to the fact that I had a brother in Congress. I said to him, further, that I would under no con sideration recommend for nomination to the Military or the Naval Academy any person who was not in every way eligible for that position. I was never before, nor have I been since this occurrence, approached by any man on this or a similar subject. This whole affair is the culmination of a conspiracy of the parties who were leagued to defraud the Associated Press, and this personal attack is in retaliation for the part I was compelled to take in their exposure.

Naked, Dirty and Freezing ••A Drove of Hogs" in a Loyal Institu tion. We clip the following remarkable article from the Reading Eagle of Saturday: On Tuesday last Messrs. Benj. Evert and Peter Miller, Commissioners oY Schuylkill county, visited Reading for the purpose of seeing the County Prison, and learning in what manner it was conducted. After going through it, they were highly pleased with its management, and expressed a de sire to visit the Prison of Lancaster coun ty. They were accompanied to Lancaster by Messrs. William S. Young and John L. Moyer, two Commissioners of this county, on Wednesday. The sight that there met them is almost beyond description. Three hundred prisoners are incarcerated in the structure,seventy-six of whom areimprison ed in one cell! These prisoners are vagrants, and their condition Is truly deplorable, most of them being nearly without clothing, while one of the number is entirely naked. The cell has been constructed by roofing over a portion of the yard, and at one end is a stove, around which these destitute creatures huddle to keep warm, and near which several basket makers ply their labors. One of the visitors asked how these men sleep in so small a space, when ho was answered, " like a drove of hogs!" During the war, and the days of Libby prison, tales of horror and suffering, of want and privation, were daily found in the newspapers of the North, and more especially in the Republican journals, some of which even went so far as to charge the Democrats of the North with being the cause of the misery entailed upon the brave soldiers who were unfortunate enough to be incarcerated in that prison-pen. But here is a case almost if not quite equal to the pest-pen of the South, in a Republican city and county, with abundance of every thing to alleviate suffering, and yet the loud-mouthed Republimns have not dared to ventilate the subject, because the county officials aro of their own party. During the war there may have been some excuse for the bad management of military pris ons, but there can be no palliation for the bad management of a County Prison ; there can be no excuse for criminal negligence on the part of the prison officials. One of the Republican Commissioners of Lancaster county asserted that he was not aware of the suffering in the Lancaster county prison ; but that is no excuse for him. lie is placed in office for the purpose of looking into matters of this kind, and has sworn to fulfill his duties with fidelity, and vet he confesses that he knows nothing . about the manner in which the prison is conducted. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 If the prison officials of Lancaster county are ignorant of their duties, let them come to Reading and view the clean and well conducted prison here; they can learn, in the model prison of Berks county, a lesson which they need so much—how to treat the unfortunate criminals under their control. There are other cells in the Lancaster county prison which are over-crowded, one of them containing 38 criminals. The number of cells in the building is 00, :Ind within these are lodged the 300 criminals of the county. 'l'he case of Joseph Fo!gate, the young man of feeble intellect, who has been im prisoned in the Ilerks county Alone House for years past, to keep him from setting fire to the buildings, has received consider able attention from the Republicans of this city; and yet he is kept clean and receives all the attention posssible front the officers of the A Inns House. If this ease has produced so much feeling, why do not the Republi cans of this city extend their sympathy to the sufferers of the Lancaster County Pri son, who are treated more like dogs than human beings, by "Mil" officers of their own clique in tint county? Thank God ! Radical rule does not ex tend over lierks Nullity, and political leeches of the Republican party cannot draw ,the life blood from any class of its citizens, no matter how low they may be.

The first ball struck her chin and the other her right cheek, killing her instantly. The murderer was arrested. Soldiers Frozen to Death on the Plains. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—A letter frona Fort Abercrombie says that Friday, the llth, there was the most tempestuous storm on the plains experienced this winter. On that day Charles Warner, in company with six soldiers and an Indian scout, left Fort Ransom for Abercrombie. The sol diers and the scout were soon left behind, and Mr. Warner heard no more of them untiVaturday evening, while stopping at a stellar on the route. The scout came in badly frozen and hardly able to talk reporting that the soldiers the day previous had got lost in a driving storm, and, unhitching their mules, had camped out upon the prairie, all being more or less frozen. The Indian covered four of them with snow, the other two preferring to remain in the open sleigh, and started for assistanee. He travelled that night and all the next day, and finally arrived at the station but so badly frozen and exhausted as to have no clear idea where the soldiers were left buried. His tracks having been covered by the drift, it was impossible to follow them back, and no search was made for the missing men. They are probably dead. The same day two men chopping wood near Alexandria were also lost, and have not since boen heard of. THE. CHR9APEARE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY, have their line in successful operation from Richmond to the White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia—a dis tance 0f...`'`!.7 miles—and the cash value of :his completed and working portion of the road is estimated at, at least, $15,000,000. With a view to the prompt extension of the line through to the Ohio River, at or near the mouth of the Big Sandy River, a fur ther stretch of about miles (of which extension a considerable portion has al ready been constructed), the Company have decided to offer, through their financial agents, Messrs. Fisk &Hatch, $15,000,000 of a Thirty-Year First Mortgage Loan, pro tected by the pledge of their entire road, property, franchises, Sc., through from Richmond to the Ohio River. The mort gage will cover all the obligations of the Company, whose outstanding indebtedness consists of only $1,668,757 in miscellaneous bonds upon portions of the old Virginia Central Railroad (which now forms a part of th(3 Chesapeake and Ohio), and a small obligation to the State of Virginia, for the painent of which prevision has already been made in Virginia State Bonds. The outstanding Bonds of the Virginia Central Road will be provided for by a reservation of $2,000,000 of the First Mortgage Loan of the Chesapeake and Ohio Company; and of the remaining $13,000,000 of this First Mortgage Loan, the Company will sell only an amount sufficient to complete the road to the Ohio River, perfect and improve the portion now in operation, and thoroughly equip the whole for the largo, active, and very lucrative traffic which may be confi dently looked for as the inevitable conse quence of the opening of this important Trunk Line of communication between the seaboard and the Ohio River. The Bonds of the Loan are of the denomination of $l,OOO, $5OO and $lOO respectively, and aro issued in three different forms: I. Coupon Bonds, payable to bearer; 2. Registered Bonds, with Coupons attached ; and 3. Registered Bonds, with Coupons detached, which forms are explained in the prospectus of the Loan which appears on another page of this paper. Both principal and interest of the Loan are made payable expressly in gold coin in the City of New York. The Bonds yield interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, in gold. They are offered for the present at 90 per cent. and accrued in terest in currency, front Nov. 1, 1669. Se cured as the Loan is by an absolute lieu on the entire line of railroad from Richmond to the Ohio River, with its equipment and all other property, and by the additional guarantees afforded by the eminently re sponsi file Board of Management and Finan cial Agency of the Company—including the nal., of some of our inOst successful busi ness men, hankers, and railroad builders— the First Mortgage Bonds of the Chesapeake and ( ihio Railroad Company rant be cool inendod as constituting a first-class, relia ble and profitable forin of investment. korai 31111'1141mi% Tii.vr Possum llot-Low Fox AGAIN.— M 0.,. Editors : Your Perinea correspon dent some bite ago inibuned your readers of the " Possum Hollow Fox" being caught in that vicinity lately, but he forgot to mention the fact that it was started early in the morning by a pack of full-bred hounds belonging to John Mess, chased the greater part of the day and holed by them, which iain be proven by over one hundred persons. It is true the fox was dug out by the parties mentioned, but as thou have been very unsuccessful in hunting the past winter, they were allowed to keep the nix through sympathy. Every hunter knows the hounds that start a fox are entitled to it no matter how many full or half-bred dogs get in with them during the chase. 'rho correspondent thinks it is twelve years old, but from his limited experience in hunting his judgment as to its age amounts to very little. Ile does not do justice to his hunters by not giving them the credit of catching another fox without the use of dogs ; hav- log tracked one under a stump it was easily captured. If ho subtracts 11 1 1 years front the age of thu "Possum Hollow Fox" he will have the age of the "Stump Fox - ex actly. The most exciting hunt of the sea son came ,or at Willhunstown on last Tuesday between 17 picked hunters from the neighborhood of Mount Airy and Scrutnown and a like number front Wil- liamstown and the thip. Iteynard was started in due time but the Mount Airy Mutters and their dogs failed to be at the killing of it. The '• Possum Hollow Fox" was the One intended for this hunt, but he either escaped of his own accord or some evil-disposed person assisted hill' to gain his freediau. The “Stump Fox" was then substituted in his stead, but the full-bred fox hounds of Messrs. Hoop, Hess and Rut ter killed it about one utile front where it was started. Mr. 11. B. Skiles, the king of hunters, was not present on account of sickness, but his graduates did nobly—every man being at the killing. This was a test of the merits of both parties, and all present deci ded in favor of the Gap and Williamstown. THAT CAC MAN—Further Particulars.— A correspondent writing from West Co calico twp., this county, saes: "Seeing mention made of 'A Singular Man' travel- Mg through the different parts of this sec tion of the county in the Weekly Is- Wilmer? . of the 16th inst., I write to nform you that the same man, or one if the same type, frequently passes my place. lle collies frequently o my house, sometimes three times a week and often twice a week ; he does not talk much, but is a good eater, fond of coffee, and will drink a half a dozen cups at a meal. I have frequently talked with loin' and he has often sawed and split wood for us, has also helped unload hay, the., but he will not talk at all times. Ile is apparently 45 years of age, and says he belongs to the Catholic Church. lie is a good walker, and does not mind the cold much. Ile has never stopped over night with me, but he has several places where he stays over night.- Ile seldom stops, only at meal times; he has often come to our house as lute as 9 o'clock in the evening, and I have often offered to keep hint over night, but he said he was going to Bakers, that is one of his stopping places, about one mile from my house; he has often been met on the road at midnight. W. 11. P. A SERMI'S STABBING AFFRAY.—:A cor respondent at Reamstown, this county, writes that " On Saturday last a very seri ous stabbing affray occurred at the Green True tavern at Reapistown Station on the Reading and Columbia Railroad, the filets of which are as follows: There was a shoot ing match at the village, when an alterca tion arose between two Well 110.1110 a Theo dore niggard and Peter Mum A tighten sued when Tagg,ard cut a gash in Murr's abdomen about four inches long so that nearly all the wounded man's bowels pro truded from the wound. Doctors Krum, Wiest, and tiensenich were called in and dressed the wound and Muer is now doing as well as ran he expected, but is not ex pected to recover. 'There was another man stabbed by niggard Eddie same time, but it is thought in a mistake; his wound is, however, not of a dangerous nature. Tag gard was immediately put under arrest." Taut:.—.A chestnut tree was rut down on the farm of David \V. Varnish, near Willow Street, that measured 101. feet in diameter and nearly 23 feet in circum ference, and contains between 11 and 12 cords of WOOIL, It Wait Ina (10W11 in the short space of three hours, by Messrs. Jacob Lee') :LIM Martin Mowrer. This monarch of the field, surrounded by a few others of his kind, has withstood, according to the number of its rings, the rain, snow, and pelting storms fur many centuries. Hen !mica DEER CIIASE.—The deer chase, which had once been postponed, took place at Ephrata, on the 11th inst., and was at tended by a large concourse of people, ex ceeding in numbers all prior gatherings in that villag e. The deer ran about two miles, when the hounds coming close to him, he made for the Cocaina> creek, and when in the water he defended himself front the attacks of the hounds by pawing them under the water. Ile was, however, captured alive by four men, who waded into the water after him. This ended the deer chase. ADMITTED TO PDACTICE.—On the 15th of this month, Jno. M. Reynolds formerly of Strasburg township, this county, was ad mitted to practice law in the several courts of Bedford county. Mr. Reynolds studied law in the office of J. W. Dickerson, Esq., and we are informed that he passed a high ly creditable examination previous to his T.HE TAXPAYERS of Bart and Salisbury townships have recently held meetings in Smyrna, this county, for the purpose of adopting measures for grading and making a turnpike from the Green Tree to Christi ana. Stock has been subscribed,and from the efforts being made the general supposition is, that the project will be carried into ef fect. RELIGIOUS.—Tho Rev. J. V. Eckert will preach in the Hall west of the Buck, on Sunday afternoon at 3 o,clock, February 27th, instead of March Bth as appointed. STEWARD ELEcrED—At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Poor and House of Employment of Lancaster County, on last Saturday, Elam L. Herr, of Strasburg township, was elected Steward of that insti tution in place of Samuel Spiehlman, re signed. AT Peach Bottom, York county, Mary C. Geiger is appointed postmistress, vice Elmira J. Geiger, resigned. Imlastry Industry is one of the qualities included in habits of business. This quality is the -energetic and habitual engagement of mind and body, in any useful omployment. It is the secret of those grand results which have been accomplished inevery age and na tion,that fall the mind with wonder. "There is no Art or Science," says another, "that is too difficult for industry to attain to; it is the gift of tongues, and makes a man un derstood and valued in all countries and by all nations; it is the Philosopher's Stone, that turns all metals and even stone; into gold, suffers no want to break into dwell ings; it is the North-west passage, that brings the merchant's ships as soon to him as he can desire ; in a word, it conquers all enemies and makes fortune itself pay cor.- tributions." Industry, as much as talent, has made the great men, and the successful men of of every age and nation. It brings young men from obscurity and qualifies them to struggle with adverse circumstances. It teaches us to make a diligent use of time, and a habit of studying and laboring while others sleep, frolic or play. It learns us a steady perseverance, and an indomitable energy, which will secure money, attain ments and eminence. Cicero, by far the most learned man of all antiquity, as well as the greatest orator of Rome, lets us at once into the secret of all his vast and va ried learning, when he tells us that the time which others gave to feasts and dice, and sports, he devoted to patient study.— And this accords with the experience of others who have reared a fortune or built themselves a name. It matters not what may be a young man's intended pursuit in life. Let him choose whatever business or wiling he may, reading, study and work are the means that accomplish his purposes and aims. If we would make successful farm ers, we must not only plow and sow, but read and study books on agriculture; if successful mechanics, we must study mathematics and works on mechanism and architecture; and, if successful mer chants, we must familiarize ourselves with the principles of political economy. The repeated exercise of study, labor and perseverance, will soon form the habit of industry, which is thcoessential element of success in any business, trade or profes sion. EnEs. SAFE HARBOR AND PENNINOTONVILLE RAILROAD.—The building of a railroad between these two points is discussed by a correspondent of the Examiner, who says a railroad is now being constructed under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, from Pomeroy, four miles east of Pennington vide, to Delaware ('ity. This road will be finished and in running order within a year. The Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad between Safe Harbor and Columbia, a distance of ten miles, I am told can be more easily and cheaply constructed than the remainder of that from Safe Harbor to Port Deposit. Doubtless the Columbia and Port Deposit Co will bo glad to complete that part of their lino as soon as they can find any other road to connect with, which will give them a through line. To finish a complete lino from Columbia to Delaware City, without crossing the main lino of the Pennsylvania Railroad, except fur five miles between Penningtonville and Pome roy, it is only required to build a roaad from Safe Harbor to Ponningtonville. From Safe Harbor to Quarrytown,fourteen nudes, there will be a slight grade twenty live feet per nude, against the trade, and this is the only adverse grade worth mentioning be tween Columbia and Delaware ('ity, a dis tance, by this route, of seventy-five nudes. REINHOLDSVILI.E.—A correspondent of the Reading Dispatch furnishes that paper with the following description of Rein holdsville, Lancaster county : Reinholdoville should not be confounded (as it is by most persons) with Reinhold's Station, as it is situated a full mile and a half West of the latter place. It is a fair sized country village, of beautiful location, having two stores, and a proportionate number of the mechanical trades. _ . Our neighborhood is dull enough at pres ent, and all the news ran be "jotted down" in short sentences. A few days good sleigh ing was enjoyed, but travelling is now ex eeedingiy ditlieult either with sleigh or car riage, the snow having disappeared in many places, while in others large snow drifts Grist. lee or the ihjekne:s of from five to six inches was formed last week on a in one mile west of this place, owned by Fred erick Fox, Esq., a former resident of Read ing. This dam is about thirty acres in ex tent, and if the ice could be cut and sent to Reading, it would form a much needed and very important source of supply. The usual spring sales of farm stock, itc., have just commenced, and good prices are real i zed. For a month or more a Iterks County firm has been prospecting for iron ore in this township, but have not been thus far very successful, although the surface indi cations are very good. West Cocalico township lots awakened to the importance of education and to the de termination to take a prominent progres sive lead in school matters. Our people point with pride to the handsome edifices recently built. The schools are kept open six months, active and efficient teachers are employed, and good salaries are paid. SALlsitrltY ITEMS.— A eurrespundent sends us the fidlowing :turns of local iu terest: • . . A protracted meeting, is being held at Mt. Airy Church, by the .Methodist., with the most promising effects—it is under the superintendence of Mr. Kurtz. The country roads are almost impassi ble—they being all drifted by the late snow storm. Mr. Cooper, who met with the aucident at White Horse Mills, some eight days ago, is rapidly recovering. William Axe,,jr., caught, on last week, 457 suckers, from Daniel Oberholtzer's Mill fund; the heaviest weighing 2 pound, ounces, and in all weighing 147 poun d s. Messrs. Kurtz, Fleming and Worst, caught, on Thursday, another large fox, known as the Snake Hill Fox, weighing l-1 pounds when dug front the earth, which was done after sinking three pits, two of which were eight feet each. This is the fourth one they have secured within a short time. There was a Fox Chase at Mr. John M. Skiles' Eagle Hotel, on Thursday last, where there was quite a number in attend ance. The fox was turned loose, and, af ter being run for sonic time, was lost by the dogs. Sales of personal property are all every day occurrence in Salislntry township, at the present time: there being more changes to take place this Spring , titan lets ever been known. Stock and fanning utensils are not bringing as bight prices:. they have done heretofore. On Friday, the Ilth inst., there NV aS a large I weighing about 704) pounds, milled for at Spring Garden ; he Was WWI by Harrison Garver, of Serufftown. CONESTOGA TOWNSHIP ITE)IS.—Our cor respondent at Conestoga Centre writes that the law imposing a tax of one dollar on each dog for the support of the Children's Home, meets with strong opposition in Conestoga township. It was strongly de nounced ever since its passage, but since the tax notices have been distributed in forming the owners of dogs that their "dog tax" is one dollar, or two dollars as the case may be, curses not only deep but loud are everywhere uttered. Nearly all de clare that they will not pay it unless coin pelted by due process of lose, and the prob ability is that there will be a concerted action to test its legality. The recent severe storm impeded travel considerably in this section. Many of the roads were so filled with drifted snow that they were impassable. Some of our owners of ice-houses fearing there would lie no supply of ice this sea son, went to work, on the I Ith inst., :Ind tilled their ice-houses with drifted snow. They tramped it very solid as they put it in, and then put water on to soak it, hoping it n o n• freeze. This is a new idea, in this section, at least, and we have serious doubts whether it will answer the purpose. Quite a number of lee Ilouses are, however, un filled yet, and the prospect is that they will remain so, as the streams are what we have to depend upon principally for our supply of ice, there being no ponds in the imme diate neighborhood. The tobacco merehants have been around here again, and bought the greater part of the tobacco, paying from SIM to 00 per hun dred for the best gristle of wrappers mid about $3 for fillers. For a few choice lots. they paid and for one extra lot, of which we know, ;322 around. These prices will insure a large breadth being planted next year in tins section. THE SMYRNA LYCEUM.—The Smyrna Literary Association met at the usual hour, Thursday evening, and by a vote agreed to dispense with the usual business and proceed to discuss the fixed question, viz: Resolved, That a man call be a Christian and support war. In favor of the same was Rev. Wm. Easton and Jacob Rowe, and in opposition was Jesse Webster, sr., Philip S. Bush, James L. Allen and others. For discussion at next meeting the following question was agreed upon: Resolved, That the first law of nature is self-preservation. Adjourned. A HOP AT SILVER SPRINGS.—On Thurs day evening last a large and very pleasant party was hbld at Edwin llopton's Hotel, in the village of Silver Springs, West Hempfield township, this county, which was attended by several ladies and gentle men from this city. Clemens' Orchestra was present and furnished excellent music for the delighted participants until an early hour on Friday morning, when they wend ed their way homeward wishing for a speedy repetition of the Hop. Mr. Hopton has given a number of these pleasant parties this season, all of which have been quite successful. SALISBURY TOWNSHIP ITEMS.— A cor respondent writes that the old Opossum Hollow Fox is still at large. The recent statement, made in the Intelligencer that he was caught being a mistake. The hotel of Mr. John M. Skiles, in Salis bury twp., is situated over the spot upon which stood the house in which Brigadier General Farley, of the English Army, died of fever during the Revolutionary 'War. REAL ESTATE MARKET.-Wm. P. Brin ton sold a lot recently in the village of Christiana, containing about one-third of an acre, fronting on Maple and Green streets, to Henry Broomel, for WO. Samuel Rockey has made sale of about 12 acres of the north end of his farm, in Bart twp., to Matthew Brooks, for ro per acre. REottr-Amyss Yon LEST.—The follow ing are the rules for the observance of Lent. promulgated by the Catholic Tele graph; and mainly applicable to_ this dio cese. The fast commences this year on the first Wednesday in-March and ends on the ith of April: L All the faithful who have completed their twenty-first year are, unless legiti mately dispensed, bound to observe the Fast of Lent. _ . 2. They are to make only one meal a day excepting Sunday. 3. The meal allowed on fast days is not to be taken till abort noon. 4. At that meal, if on any day permission should be granted for eating flesh, both flesh and fish shall not be used at the same time. 5. A small refreshment, commonly called collation, is allowed in the evening ; no general rule as to the quantity of food per mined at this time is or can be made. But the practice of the most regular Christians is never to let it exceed the fourth part of an ordinary meal. 6. The quantity of food allowed at a col lation is, in this diocese, bread, butter, eggs, cheese, milk, all kinds of fruits, salads, vegetables and cold fish. 7. General usage has made it lawful to take in the morning some warm liquid, as tea, coffee or thin chocolate, and a cracker. 8. Necessity and custom have authorized the use of lard instead of butter in prepar ing fish, vegetables, etc. 9. The following persons are exempted from the obligation of fasting: Young per sons under twenty-one years of age; the sick; nursing women; those who are obliged to do bard labor; all who, through weak ness, cannot fast without prejudice to their health. 10. By dispensation, the use of flesh meat will be allowed at any time on Sundays and once a day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thurs days and Saturdays, with the exception of the second and last Saturdays of Lent. . _ 11. Persons dispensed from the obliga tion of fasting on account of tender or ad vanced age (60 years), or hard labor, are not bound by the restriction of using, meat only at one meal on days on which its use is granted by dispensation. Those dis pensed from the fast for other causes as well as those who are obliged to fast, are per mitted to use meat only at one meal. COUNTERFEIT MONEY.—Counterfeit frac tional currency is very prevalent. Some of the denominations of the last issue of frac tional currency have already proved a failure through the facility with which they are counterfeited. It is said that in conse quence of the number of counterfeits on the new fifty cent fractional currency, the Treasury Department has resolved to cancel all that conic back to the Treasury. The Treasury Department is in possession of evidence that the Amerimn and National Bank Nnte Company at New York have had in their employ men in league with the counterfeiters. Some time ago a fifteen cent note was gotten up by the Treasury De partment and subsequently suppressed upon the detection of one of the engravers in the act of making an impression with the plates. PARItESOVIUI ITEms.-The property of It. Whiteside, in this place, consisting ola two story frame dwelling with the appurtenan ces was sold at public sale on Tuesday, the 15th inst., for $1,500.00. Mr teorge Young, purchaser. Several more collars have:been mene oil in this place, during the past week, with every prospect of more before long, as there appears to bo a determination to put up houses enough the coining Summer to supply the want which has heretofore ex isted. The farm of Hinkson t Thompson, deal ers in grain and lumber, has been dissolved by the withdrawal of Mr. Ilinkson, and the business will after the first of April lie conducted by Thompson. . NEW RAILROAD ENTEurnisk.—The Bal timore (!ruche states that a petition has been presented to the Common Council, of that city, asking for 3100,000 in aid of the Central Maryland Railroad. The object of the petitioners is to enable them to raise the sum of 81,500,000 for the purpose of building a road front Baltimore to the terminus of the Philadelphia and Media Road, which now extends front Philadel phia, through Media and Ux ford, to Rising Son, in Maryland, and on to a point near the Susquehanna river, where it connects with the Columbia J Port Deposit It. It. This railroad Will be for Baltimore, not merely a local road, but a main line, for it will connect with the Port Deposit Road, which promises to be extended to Colum bia, and with another hramh road which will connect Oxford with the Reading and Wilmington Road, and thus open for Bal timore a direct route to the Reading coal Arc inENT.—.lohn M.
