and their Pastimes--.A Word 10 Lind &c.
PORT DEPOSIT, Oct. 10, '52.
DEAR SIR:--1 have been informed within a
few days past, that it is in contemplation by
Two or three OF our prominent citizens, in con- |
nection with some parties in Baltimore, TO erect
in our town, large Cotton Factory, the site for
which has already been selected. trust ii may
prove true; it will be the means of giving an
impetus TO our place, such as we have never
before experienced.
The building in course ofereclon for Messrs.
Taylor & Cuttings is progressing rapidly and
will soon be under roof The foundation of
Mr.. A. Kidd's new building is also being laid.
Mr.. Philip Sauter is having brick building
erected as Cabinet Wareroom, 10 be occupied
by your former townsman, Mr. Mathew Can't
well, who, am pleased to say, is doing well.
This building will be finished in the course Of
week or two.
had the pleasure of seeing your friend keat-
ing Of The Hartford Madisoniun, here few days
since. He seemed bent on some matter of great
mpor,ance--some grand speculation: Gou know
he has the reputation OF speculative genius.)
endeavored TO sound him, hoping | might get
an inklng, at least, OF what was on his mind,
but 10 no purpose. | have since learned that
he is negotiating for the purchase, or lease of
lot, on which to erect suitable buildings for a
printing establishment.
Well, we need a paper here very much, pro-
vided it be of the right kind, not such an one as
have heard of, located in neighboring town,
issued once week. or once in two weeks, as
circumstances permit, filled up with standing
advertisements Of two or three years old Please
just say TO your friend Heating, that it is the
advice OF ''Peter," that he keepaway from Port;
he can't succeed here. He has lived too long
where they stand STILL and don't understand the
progl essive principle sufficiently 10 row his boat
up this stream. Tell him not to fret at little
wholesome advice; it is for his own benefit,
which he will find out when he tries the eX-
pertinent.
| Some OF our young men here have been maxi
ing an abortve attempt for two or three weeks
past, to get up debating club. 1t wont take;
our young men are too fond of hanging around
the domino tables and such other interesting
amusemenlS, to spare one night in the week TO
the improven ent OF their minds. Perhaps they
will not regret it when they grow older; it will
be well for them il they never have cause 10
do so.
Say TO your correspondent who halls from
Paters0nvlllc, (and am pleased to see you have
so ablc an one from there,) that he has not
amongst his list of names, hit upon the right
one; he should have added "Peter Pindar, the
razor strop mdn''--then he would have hit the
nail on the head. | do not pl oless to under
stand the "truc principles of gentlemanly eti-
quette," orI should have INDUCED TO some en-
tent IN 'tenjoyments" and "influcnces,'' as to
cause me to forget was in the society ladies.
am very sorry that | wounded any one in a
tender place: am generally very cautious where
step but if ''Lind's" toes projected a feet too
far, cant help 1t. You know, Mr.. Editor, |
am in the habit of attending pic mes &C., with

or by proxy, and Of course | could make no eX-
cepton in this case. However, humbly beg
pardon of "Lind" and promise to do better in
future, and shall be pleased to read his future
correspondence in The Wing.
I BY the bye, Mr.. s'Mlyk," you must be more
careful to 90 according TO 'teason and Justice
and don't dare TO ''insnuae' aught against evil
doors, or against any business that entails evil
consequences On the community. PETER
