arrival of the Cadets in Baltimore they have made
many friends, not only among their military breh-
rem, with whom they have been thrown into direct
contact, but also among all classes of people, who
were anxious to extend them those hospitalites for
which Baltimoreans have always been noted.

of our steam fire engines, the Commissioners read

Nos. 4 and were called by signals to Monument
Square, where they performed for about one hour,
to the great satisfaction of all present. The De-
partment on this occasion sustained its reputation
for prOmptness and etficency-engine No. A. loca-
ted on North street, throwing water in 5 p min
utes after getting the signal, and engine No. 6,
taking position in the Square after run from
Gay and EnsOr streets, in about the number
of minutes
After the exercise of the steam engines, the Zou-
aves, in squads, accompanied by the Greys, visited
the Maryland Penitentiary, where they were re-
ceived cordially by Mr.. A. d. Evans, warden, and
conducted through every apartment. They next
visited the new Jail, where Mr.. Thomas James,
warden, socially met them and afforded them every
opportunity to make a complete survey of the pre-
mises The Cadets are of the opinion that the
Jail business of Baltimore goes ahead of Chicago.
Returning to their headquarters at one O'Clock,
the strangers marched to the Gmor House for din
ner; after partaking of which, and after some fine
music from the band, they, under escort of the
Greys proceeded to Light street wharf, where they
embarked on the steamer Chapionm for an excur-
sion down the river.
When the boat had got fairly under way the
Zouaves and the Company generally seemed to be-
come more lively and cheerful, owing perhaps, to
the fact that they were for while to be rid of the
heat, dust and crowded thoroughfares of the city.
Upon reaching Fort McHenry the band played the
"Star Spangled Banner, and the boat having made
fast to the wharf, everybody went ashore and re-
viewed the old ramparts the idle guns and the for
saken barracks. The visitors went from spot to
spot within the enclosure, but nothing in human
form was seen to indicate that Fort McHenry was
part and parcel of the United States, or even con-
sidered as such by the Federal Government.
After leaving Fort McHenry the Champion
steamed down past Fort Carroll and North Point
and then made turn towards the city. When
the boat had passed Fort Carroll, the steamer Ade-
laide, of the Norfolk line, loaded with passengers
their way to the Great Eastern, came up
opposite and nearly within speaking distance
Capt. Clarke, of the Greys, then proposed salute
which was given in vigorous style by both com
panies, the Zouaves letting out to the full extent
of their lungs their peculiar cheer. After this
little excitement was over, the Champion turned in
and landed her company at the Vineyard Hotel,
kept by Mr.. Lacrosse, the estate of the late Mr..
Bodman, on the south branch of the Patapsco.
At this place the Greys had ordered an enter
tainment to be prepared, at which their guests
could be treated to some of the delicacies abound
ing in the waters surrounding our city, what
might be called a crab.supper Considerable time
was spent previous to the evening meal in
deploying about the grounds, exercising in
gymnastics in which the Cadets are proficient and
singing by extempore glee clubs. large number
of the Cadets also proceeded to the shore near by
and enjoyed BATH Att o'clock the drum an
nounced the hour of supper, when the whole COM
pany were soon seated around the tables, which
were loaded with everything calculated to drill a
keen appetite. Mr.. La Crosse certainly did Justice
to his guests, both regards quantity and quality,
and was highly comp!imented on all hands for the
manner in which the entertainment was conducted
After supper the party again embarked and
reached the city at So o'clock, all well pleased

to witness the performances of the Chrsty Minstrels
This morning early the ZOuaves leave for Washing
ton, returning here at night. They will remain in
the city until o'clock p. NJ, Sunday, when thev
will depart for Cincinnati.
RECKLESS DRIvING.-Y esterday morning a COLI
sion took place on Gay street, Frederick,
between steam fire engine No. and buggy
driven by gentleman named Fisher. The engine
was proceeding to Monument Square for the pur-
poses of playing for the amusement of the Zouaves
and instead of driving with care, rushed down the
bill from the Gay street bridge at an immoderate
rate, applying the whip to the horses vigorously.
The wheels Of the engine caught those of the buggy
and dragged that vehicle distance of twenty or
thirty feet, when the horse attached to it was
thrown violently to the pavement two of the wheels
and the shafts broken and the wagon otherwise
injured. Mr.. Fishers horse also badly hurt.
The Fire Commissioners will investigate the matter.

cider bottling establishment of MIR. Russell, on
Mercer street, near Calvert, was entered bv

money, and stole some few other articles They
then helped themselves literally to the liquors. On
a slate, one of the rascals wrote the following

Mr.. Russell will be glad to see the gentleman if
he sends word on what night and hour he may be
expected.
IcE CREAM MADE BY STEAM.-The great motive
power is daily being applied to new purposes,
among the latest of which is its application to the
making OF ice cream. MIR. Fred. Lauterbach,
southwest corner of Hollins and Poppeton streets,
ishment by steam. He has erected a two and
half horse power stationary engine, built in the
shop of the Messrs Winans, which is placed in a
shed in the rear of his building. Every morning
the little iron monster, which only occupies space
of about five feet square, is set to work, and in the
course of two hours several hundred gallons of
cream is frozen. Some days he makes as high as
500 gallons. Tine cream made by this process is
much smoother than by the old mode, and is excel
lent in quality. Mr. Lauterbach serves parties and
