PoRT DEPosIT, August 81, 1867.
On the 10th, horse attached to car.
riage fell down in the town, threw the driver
out, without injury to him, overturned the
wagon and badly damaged it.
The heavy rain of last week has caused
heavy expense to the county in the billy
region. The bridge at Cecil Furnace was
carried away; the abutment of the bridge
at Liberty Grove was seriously injured, and
the roads were badly washed
On the 10th there was slide depositing
about 500 tons of debris Oh the Port Branch
Railroad, at Mount Arrarat, consequently
there were no trains on Friday. On Satur-
day, the train that should have left at $50
AM, did not start till 10 AN. since which
time all has been regular Oh the road.
Many parties, on account of the outside
wet OF last week, wet SO much inside as to
keep our balitf in motion. One Duffy, for
disrespect to Esq. Knight, was locked up
for contempt but bailed out and another
was cared for by the same officer for being
disorderly. Drunken folks should see that
their buttons are well sewed on, or they may
lind an additional fine for indecent exposure.
On Sunday there was an exodus from
the village. Capt. Vanneman was plying
the terry all day, to accommodate parties
bound for the Hartford camp, which will be

struck tents on Monday last.
The notice in last weeks Wing, in re-
gard TO a disturbance at the colored camp,
held in Ramsays's woods, is utterly incor-
rect. No disturbance was made on the
ground by whites of any political party
Two colored men had quarrel, but vanished
before the constable got near them. Mr..
Brown, preacher in charge, reported that
there was no trouble whatever. G. Ii. Alex
ander belonged to Shows Battery, and in
Pennsylvania, last week, at woods meet.
ing held by the colored people, in the vicin-
ity Of Pleasant Grove post office, was stricken
with billy and injured. AS that paragraph
was copied on the day Of issue by the Bait.
Ameyican, we hope Mr.. Fulton will be so
just as to copy the denial.
The Tide Water Canal was so badly
damaged by the late rains, that the water
has been drawn from the lower levels to dig
ont the bars formed. Boats are lying every.
where waiting for the completion of the re-
pairs. Reports from above are of such ma
ture as to lead to the supposition that bust
ness by this route will be suspended 70,
some weeks.
To-day the Catholics had pic mic il

CoPPERHEAD RowDYIsM.-Last Saturday
| evening the colored men of Elkton held n
meeting in the Court House to form n mill.
tary company among themselves. A few
white men were present to assist them in or.
ganizing. All went on quietly till the room
was thronged with Copperhead rowdies,
who began to make all sorts of disturbances
in order to break up the meeting. When
requested to behave like gentlemen or leave
the room, the uproar increased. Though
the colored men outnumbered the Gopher.
heads and could easily have expelled them
from the room, it was thought better to close
the meeting quietly than have a disturbance
The object of the meeting was partially ac.
| complished, about half the number neces.
sary to form company being secured
When the full complement is secured, anoth,
er meeting will be held to complete the com
pany organization.
Notwithstanding all Copperhead threats,
the colored men will hold meetings and form
companies whenever they please. They
have defeated better and drawer men upon
the field of battle. The Copperheads who
swarmed from the whisky slums of Elkton
that evening doubtless had their hearts filled
with murder and assassination. A little
more whisky wonld, perhaps, have given
them devilsh courage to initiate the rebel
massacres of other places. They were
representatives oftheir paTty-bloated, blood
thirsty, and malignant. In few years all
this conduct will be changed. They will
then fawn upon and praise the very negroes
they now desire to murder; but will be
spurned with the hatred and contempt they
deserve. In the light of good behavior, OF
good manners, Of intelligence, Of everything
that constitutes good citizen, the meanest
negro present that evening was superior to
the best white Copperhead engaged in break.
ing up the meeting. Free speech is not yet
acceptable to such creatures, and free action,
less so. But the time will come when rebel
deviltry will be in motion only to escape
from world where it will be universally de.
tested and despise4,

GoRED by A BuLL.-Mr. Edward Hance,
living near Chestnut Hill, was severely
gored by bull, on Sunday morning last
He was endeavoring to keep the animal al
distance while the cows were being MIXED
and in doing so struck the bull several blows
about the head, which so enraged him that
he rushed at Mr.. Hanpe and tossed him in
the air; alighting on his feet, he was again
struck by the animal and knocked down,
one of his horns inaicting severe confusion
on Mr.. Hance's left breast. He then sue.
ceeded in crawling under barrack near by,
the animal all the time endeayoring to gore
him. The bull was finally driven off, and
Mr.. Hance taken to the house. Medical
aid was procured, and he is now able to
walk about. Had he not thus been able to
get out of the animals reach, he would most
likely have been killed.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. On Monday af. |

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. On Monday af-
ternoon last, distressing accident occurred
resulting ia the instant death ola young girl,
about IA years of age, Miss Cecelena Smith,
daughter of Mr.. Levi Smith, residing near
Lords upper Factory, about FIVE miles from
Elkton. A cousin of the young girl, Cecil
G. Hasson, was at Mr.. Smiths house, and
was sent up through hatchway into the
kitchen loft to procure Ratchet TO tighten
up set of quitting frames which the family
were using at the time. A loaded rifle that
had been placed in the loft sometime pre-
vious was leaning against the wall, which
the boy attempted to move with one hand,
he being lame IN the other hand. The gun
being heavy, the muzzle came down with
some force on the edge Of the hatchway, and
was discharged by the conclusion. The
young girl was seated directly under the
hatchway, and the charge entered her head
behind the ear, coming out at the opposite
side, and killing her instantly.

A SHOOTING AFFAIR.-On Wednesday al
lernoon last, shooting affair took place
between Rudolph Bennett and Thomas
rhackery, both residents of Little Elk. 1t
appears there was a family quarrel between
the parties. On the afternoon above named
Bennett deliberately took his gun and sal
lied out to stack where Thackery was at
work and after some alteration fred two
shots at him. The gun was loaded with
small shot and if the shot took effect did not
seriously damage. Thackery then charged
with pitchfork when Bennett retreated
into brick house close by. Thackery, in
| order to prepare for a better defence and be
! enabled to assume offensive operations, start.
ed to his own house for q gun. Bennett,
whose gun having by this time been re load.
ed, came on. and fred again on Thackery
| as he turned the corner of his RESIDENCE
Thackery soon appeared with q single bar
relied shot gun when Bennett beat retreat
but Thackery fired, the shot which were
large, taking effect in Benefits arm and
body, severely wounding him. This, as far
as we can ascertain ended the shooting.
The Sheriff next waited on the combat.
| ants but, Thackery refused to yield to his
official demand to accompany him to the
Squirrels. Bennett reported at Justice
Browns, and was "bound over" and had a
warrant issued for the apprehension of
! Thackery, whom the Sheriff with Constable
Denny soon produced. As the party enter.
ed the Magistrates Office, Thackery tripped
and threw the Sheriff, and soms scufiling
took place in which the Sheriff alleges he
was severly choked. Order was soon res.
tored. however, and both parties bound over
