are being given everywhere, why cannot we
get up something of the sort in Cecil, to be
participated in by all the soldiers from Cecil
already, or soon to be home, as soon as the

The matter only needs to be properly
started. Let some influential citizens at
once call public meeting to inaugurate it.

SPORTING. There was another trot-

ting race on the Warwick course, on We'd

mare and Samuel Gillespie's horse. The
contest was very close, but the mare was
declared the winner by few feet Giles
pies horse then trotted against A. Asbury
Perkins horse, of Elkton, for wager of
$25, and won. Another race for $50 side
will come OF between the same horses on
Wednesday afternoon next-Perkins being
confident that "old rawbone'' will win. There
was chicken fight, on Red Hill, on Tuesday,
between a couple of chanticleers-one of
which belonged to James Fulton, of Elkton
There were several rounds" when the
fight was ended by Fulton's chicken killing
his antagonist. Horse racing and cock fight
ing are highly entertaining amusements,
and their frequent occurrence lately in Cecil
shows that portion of the people, at least,
are on the highway to responsibility. Can't
we have a prize-fght " or two? there seems

Mobile of which we have had only meagre
account. The explosion occurred in the
main ordnance depot of the United States,
located in Marshall's warehouse, corner of
Lipscomb and Commerce streets. The con-
sternation in the city was so great that the
Commanding General deemed it prudent to
issue an order to place guards for the pro-

The cotton destroyed Is fixed at from eight

of it belonged to private parties. The Gov
eminent loss in cotton is small. The con-
tents of the depot consisted of two hundred
tons of ammunition, including musket car
tridges, cannon powder, large number of
blank musket cartridges, and quantity of
loaded shells, grape, canister and solid shot.
The amount of powder in the warehouse is
set down at thirty tons-about one-third
being ammunition surrendered by Dick Tay.

muzzles to be killed by the Bailif. On Fri
day evening of last week the BaiiA with gun
in hand went in search Of the unmuzzled
beasts. Several being found without wire
baskets on were dealt with" The sensa-
ton among the owners-not the dogs-was
immense and intense they fumed and swore

hold the canine family acquire over the
affections of the human. Notwithstanding
that it were infinitely better that all the dogs
in the town should be killed, rather than one
child should be bitten, and fall a victim to
the terrible disease, yet the worthless brutes
find advocates on all hands for giving them
the freedom Of the streets and permission to
roam at large and bite at will. Of all bores,
nuisances and poachers upon the public dogs
are the greatest, even surprising loafers.

THE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Pic MIC.
The Elkton Central High School had their
picnic at Gilpin's Rocks, on Wednesday
last, and not on Thursday, as we published
through mistake last week. The day was
spent very pleasantly, after arriving at the
Rocks, by rambling thro' the wood; viewing
the beautiful scenery, examining the caves,
&C., &c. As usual, on such occasions, ice
cream, cake, lemonade, etc., were plentiful,
indeed, and the ride from here there, and
the pure and refreshing air of the country,
gave all such keen appettes, that their good
dinner, which they took along, and these
Injuries, were greatly enjoyed One Of the
most remarkable features of the day was,
that no games of Copenhagen, "Nicode.
mus" &C., were played, the young Misses
positively refusing, much to the discontinue
for our Elkton boys like such plays of
some of the invited guests and the young
gents generally. But the most notable incl
dent of the day was the inviting of guest
and some of the pupils to address the school,
all of whom complied the former taking
his stand upon rock,-a sure foundation,-
and making very elaborate and grandilo-
quent speech on "My Inantile Days-Why
[ Am Not Pretty" and other subjects equally
interesting, which was listened to with pro-
found attention, the speaker being greeted
with hearty cheers of applause throughout
its delivery, and retired amid the acclama-
tons of the whole assemblage. The young
orators acquitted themselves nobly, and were
heard attentively. Altogether, the picnic
was source of pleasure to all, and they re-
turned in the evening, highly grati6ed with
their day at the Falls.
