| In the dock at Browns wharf. His body was re-
covered in the morning and Coroner Sparklin held

"death from accidental drowning" During Sat
urday rumors were a1Oat that the had not

The CATTLE Snow THE MARYLAND STATE AGnl-
CULTURAL SocIETY.-The Show Grounds nearly
htted up for the purposes of the Show Messrs Mark
land Bro, the contractors having had large force
of carpenters and laborers employed for the occa-
sion. We learn from the officers of the Society
that stalls for more than 200 head of cattle have
already been eagaged-a larger number, probably
than ever before were called for early-besides
large number of stalls for horses and other stock
The bird and poultry department bids fair also to
be very attractive and it is hoped the household
department, which, as heretofore, will be under
the charge of Mr.. John Feast, the weknown
Horst OF this city, will be well supplied with the
handiwork of the ladies. The Society grants a
Tree ticket to visit the show to every lady deposi
tor, and in this department it is not necessary to
be member to compete for the premiums. 1t is
suggested by the officers, that inasmuch as there
Is no regular line of omnibusses to convey passen-
sengers to the show grounds, those having public
vehicles would do well to have them prepared for
the OCCASION to start from Calvert street, other
points. The Railroad Companies intend issuing
round-trip tickets during the week of the show
the same facilities heretofore granted for bringing
stock and machinery to the show will also be ex-
tended by them, as also by the several steamboat
lines.
