SoLDIERs' CHRISTMAS DINNER.-The
publishers of the Baltimore American hay
ing, in view of the large provision made in
the Northern cities for Thanksgiving Din
ner for the soldiers of our armies of the Po-
tomac, the James and Shenandoah, reserved
the fund raised for that purpose in this State,
now propose to apply it to getting up a
Christmas Dinner foe all the Maryland
troops. AS Cecil county has quite a number
of her sons in the field, her citizens should,
and no doubt do, feel it duty to aid in rails
ing a sufficient amount for this generous
purpose. Convinced that such is the case,
we have started subscription, which we
append, and after conference with the citi-
zens of this district, propose that money
contributed IN the several districts, shall be
paid over to the following persons, and by
them be handed in to this office, on or before
December 10Th inst, when it will be for
warded to Treasurer of the State Fund in
Baltimore:
1st district, Henry Hays; I'd district. r.
b. Hopper; 3D. district, +. +. Ewing; 4th
district, Joseph Miller; 9TH district, l.. W.
Thomas 9Th district, Jesse A. Kirk, 7th
district, ID. c. Way Sth district, J. S. Chris
tie; 9th district, j. NJ Ireland.
1t is hoped that our citizens will make up
a fund that will be sufficient to give every
Cecil county soldier Christmas Dinner
