The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1851-10-11

We notice in The Philadelphia Inquirer Ct
few days back, very deserving notice of our
respected friends and townsmen, Clarke, Bennett
x Co. Well do they deserve the praise which
that paper contains, for more beautiful craft
never SKINNED the waters Of our beautiful Ches-
apeake than the "Bohemii" of Chesapeake Civ.
She is 50 tons burthen and carried i 100 bushels
OF grain to VIM. Glading, commission merchant.
and we challenge any town on the Eastern
Shore 10 beat that. She is most beautiful
schooner, built expressly for the grain trade from
this place; which will be very extensive And
last though not least. another beautiful Bay
clait, which has but lew superiors, now lies at
our wharf waiting Tor her first load--the John
X. Plice--owned BY Capt. Jester and others.
Who would have suimised that Chesapeake
City would have been the first 10 lead off in the
galaxy Of fashion. On Friday evening Of last
week whist strolling around, musing upon the
joys OF other days. and Of remembrances which
still cling To our heart as tondly as of old. we
were startled by the appearance ufthree nymph-
like fairy queens in the Bi0omer Costume, under
the protection and care of the Capt. -. Of
course we had not the curiosity, nor were we so
inpudent or ungcnteel as 10 follow in their
walk, but like al honest man returned 10 onr
room; but still we saw enough to give n descrip-
ton so concise that North East, Bohemia and
Chesapeake City will not wonder when tier see
this. The dress is most beautiful and becoming.
and the lady with the red J0sGy and Jiaci. hat
looked not like q dwcler Of This earth .-God
bless the girls! they look we'll in any costume.
We were again awakened night or two ago.
by the iavorite lays oIthe Serenalers, aud if we
mistake not, the voice ola certain young student
OF the Law Of your place, added greatly to the
sweetness Of the music---ndeed the ladies' must
have thought so; as the ''Sefenade of last nirht'
was reiterated from almost every lip. T. y.
