The "COwhiding" Match. In our paper OF
Friday, ne made a statenleat in reference to
this rercontre, bot our Information not having
been strictly correct, aud wishing to do full us-
tice to al patties, we state the following acts
furnished us:-lt appears that imputations Of a
| sandeTous nature, had been uttered against the
young mar who STAYS in the store in Baltimore,
between Charles and Light streets, by the 9TH
er party; when meeting him at public heuse
in Liberty street, tho nggreved party demanded
| satisfaction, and not receiving it, gave the 9TH
or sound drubbing, no one interfering on
either side. This occurred on "Wednesday
night, on Thursday morning, about noon, the
young man who had boon "waked into" on
the previous night, caao 10 the stsre accom-
panied by two brothers and his father, when
one Of the brothers handing him note wished
him to sign it, and on his refusal, made an at
tack Oh him, and was followed UP by The young
man, with whom he had had the previous rem
contrs, who struck at him several times with
whip, but not hitting him. Tho princi pals
here closed, when the assauteI had his thumb
bitten "pretty considerable" by his anita gonist;
they we're separated, and the parties left the
store, one of them furnishing pistol at the
door most vigorously. The first reacontre ap-
pears to have been pretty fair--ore against
Une-but the lat, was not according to any
code Of honor we TecUllect Of--iour on one
tho first armed, the last unprepared. So lar as
TO the merits ofthe difficulty between the young
gentlemen, we know nothing, but we think it
rather out of place to seek redress in tho man
ner last attempted. Tho proprietor Of the store
was unfortunately net in, but gas subsequent
y sent for by the young man who sought his
forgiveness for having in his excitement Of
feeling, made his store the scene Of so much
disturbance. The difficulty Is not yet settled,
but VIC hope that the "sober second thought"
will induce them to f0rego the nolorety conse-
quent upon such scenes,
Christmas Festival The Christmas festival
Of the Mechanical Fire Company, which took
place OR Christmas evening, was one of the
most agreeable entertainments that we ever
attended. II was like every thing else con-
neCted with this DID, steady and efficient COM
pany-frst rate. The table was beautifully
spread with the good things of li(e-wit, song
and sentiment prevailed Speeches from his
Honor the Mayor, Ma jOr Fritz, of Ph!adel-
phia, Col. Plckell, Col. Niude, DR.. Stephen
Collins, aud Others, were given in reply to SER
tIments drank. We trust that the s'Old La

preaching session, will not be disappointed in
what she asks for. We look upon the Mocha

Gup,balls and Grizzly Bears. Dotachmants
from these two highly respectable bodies OF
young men met about ioon on Christmas day,
at the corner Of Baltimore and Charles streets,
and commenced one of those beautiful scenes,

who very unccremoniopsly arrested tie follow

Fines The alarm of fire about half past
O'Clock on Saturday night, proceeded from

the house at the south cast corner Of Baltimore
and Eulaw sts. The tiromen were soon upon
the spot, and succeeded in exttngushng the
flames, with but lltllG damage TO the building
The alGrm between 10 and II O'Clock yester-
day morning, was caused by the burning oil a

Serious accident A team of six horses, at
| Il 9,
urday in West Baltimore street, and when
near Pine street, the WAGNER, whose name we
could not ascertain, was thrown off, and the
two wheels of the wagon passing over his legs,
breaking both of them in a dreadful man
ner He was taken into house near by,
and DR.. Robertson called in, who rendered
professional aid, but it is feared that both legs
may have TO DO amputated. We understand
the horses became frightened by a cracker
thrown under their feet by some thoughtless
boy
