AT the meeting of the stockholders of this
company at Rising Sun on the I'd inst, au-
thority was granted to the Directors to create
mortgage of $500, 900 on the Cecil county
division of the road, from the sale of which
the Directors expect to realize funds to com
plete the road to the Susquchanna during the
next year. The Phila. Wilmington and Bal
timore r. r. Company are now completing
their branch track to Port Deposit, and pro-
pose extending the same to connect with the
Philad & Bait. c. r. II. at the crossing OF
the Susquehanna. This will at once give us
all the advantages of a through route to Bal
timore. 1t is also in contemplation to con
tinue the construction of the road through
Hartford and Baltimore counties to Baltimore
as fast as the funds can be raised for the
purpose. The track is at present completed
to Briscoe's land, west of Rising Sun, and
the workman are engaged in grading beyond
that point.
The projected road from Columbia down
the Susquchanna to Port Deposit, will be
constructed in the course of few years the
Penna. Central Company having already
made branch Of about one mile in that
direction in the Borough Of Columbia.

Tho County Convention after

The County Convention, after con
GLIDING its labors on Wednesday, called or
II. R. Torbert, Esq, for a speech. Mr.
Torbert after short, pity address, made ;
very happy hit at the conclusio,: in speak
ing of the reported disaffection of n. cnber'
of the Union party, compared them to TIN
tail of a dog which wags because it is lighter
than the body. When you hear a man who
processes to have always acted with the
Union party talking of "splits ~ in tina,
party, you may safely conclude that he holds
the same relation to the party that the tail
does to the dog, and wags because he is
light. We are happy to say that the Union
party in Cecil has but few dog tails in it.

tie scene, bearing slight resemblance to
the famous bull-fghts of SPAIN came of in

the slanghter-house pen; but in endeavorng
to do so, the animal, after several unsuccess.
full attempts to gore his antagonists, made
his escape and ran madly up Church street,
jumping the fence into q vacant lot. No
one had ''ncrve'' enough for the dangerous
undertaking of driving him therefrom In
such a dilemma the only alternative was to
shoot him. A good marksman, Mr.. p. c.
Shockley, volunteered his services, and
taking heavily loaded gun, he b!azed away
with but apparently little ctfcct the second
and third shots were likewise received; and
it was not until the fourth shot had been fired
that any impression seemed to be made on
the beast. On receiving this he reeled and
beloved at terrible rate, and, falling to
his knees, was despatched with an ak His
carcus was then hauled to the slaughter
house, dressed nicely, and served to our cit
liens the next morning for breakfast
The scene was witnessed by numerous
spectators, and was the cause Of good deal
of excitement and amusement.
