CITY INTELLIGENCE.

A Cotchiding Match. Quite an interesting
renconre came off in a store in Baltimore, not
far from Charles street, yesterday morning
Two young gentlemen, who stay in different
stores, one in store not far from the above la
titude, have had a difficulty, and meeting
few nights since in Liberty street, at public
house, after some words, ono made an attack
on the other, but friends interfering, they were
separated without being satisfied. The one
who was attacked in Liberty street, procured
u cowhide yesterday morning, and went TO the
store, in Baltimore, near Charles street, where
tie other was engaged behind the counter He
placed note before him, in which certain &C
know Judgments were made, and demanded
that he should sign it; when, on his refusing
the party with the cowhide gave the other
complete dressing off; not, however, without
having thumb nearly bitten off in the scuffi2
with his antagonist. They were again sepa-
rated, and thus the difficulty rests, until anoth-
er opportunity shall occur to give vent to their
pent- up combatveness. The scene in the store
yesterday morning is represented TO have been
ludic-ous in the extreme, and will be the theme
of many merry jest for long time to come.
We respectfully suggest TO both parties to pro-
cure cowhide, and repair to some quiet spot,
take off their coats, &C., Sc, and he that stands
fire the longest be declared the victor 1t would
be an exceedingly interesting exhibition
The Visiting Dragons. The Frederick Hus-
sars, Capt. Edward SchIey; Ringgold Ora

themselves highly gratified with their visit.
| That Cap. We understand that "that cap''
which was awarded to visiting corps from
Philadelphia, bv an old fireman on Wednes-
day, has been carefully packed up and will be
sent on Immediately. The Pliladelphians pur-
/ pose placing it in their Armory as a relic Of the
past, and we doubt not bat that it will be hand
ed down to not only the "second" but the
"third corps"
