Gentlsmen-I have received the enclosed in
regard to the Eastern Shore connections which
called the attention Of our Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad 10. They
will explain themselves.
Truly yours, ENocH PRArr.

Dear SRI return herewith the Baltimore
american Of June l9h, with editorial on imperfect
railroad connection between Baltimore and
Eastern Shore. which was presume forwarded
BY yourself and reached me to-day.
do not see how the evil complained Of can
at present be wholly removed. The passengers
between the lower end OF Delaware Railroad and
Baltimore, though deserving every acoommoda-
tion We can afford, are in too decided a minority
to permit our Delaware Railroad trains to be
arranged with primary reference to them, our
Philadelphia passengers being so very much
more numerous. l hope our next change will
enable passengers from Salisbury to take your
No. IL train for Baltimore, which will relieve
this travel one way And within year or two
from Wilmington through to Annamessix, aud
then passengers from Baltimore to Salisbury
and other principal stations below can 60 through
without the stop over night 80 much complained
Of
In the meantime the Baltimoreans could help
the matter good deal by urging the completion
OF cross cut from point on your Iron Hill
grade to Delaware Junction, by which they
would shorten the distance between Baltimore
all H.. ,suNa Ns.t -.
and reduce the advantage in distance which
Philadelphia now has from fOrty-three miles to
twenty lone.
BeBides, for very many purposes New Castle
would be Of use TO the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, as it seems to me, # they saw fit to
make il shipping point.
Respectfully, E. q sRwALI, JR.
ROwDYIsM.--We are informed that on Thurs.
day night last about nine o'clock, a man, under
the influence Of liquor assaulted Dr. Kane at
Tenth and Market streets, without any proyoca-
tion being given whatever. The Doctor was
walking along in company with his wife and
another lady, when he met several young men
quite drunk. One of them ran against the Doc
tor, Whereupon he pushed him off and continued
on. The aggressor followed and repeated the
act, aud at the same time struck the Doctor a
blow which felled him to the pavement. He
Immediately got up and in turn struck the as
sailant with his cane. At this juncture the
fellows comrades interfered and took him away.
These acts OF roWdyism and lawlessness are be-
coming quite common 10 our city, and we hope
for the sake Of it's credit and honor, that some
measures will be taken by the authorities to
curb the rowdy spirit that has manifeeted itself
or 1t may lead to serious consequences
