For
The Gambler.

1t is sad fact in human life to contemplate an inli-
vdua in the character indicated by the heading this
artirle. We do not refer to the man who "works
the wires of intrigue in business-who through pro-
ccsSes of espionage or detective gains information of
men and things, 10y which to overreach in financial and
commercial speculation. As infamous this may be,
the aventurer in such is nobler being than the
whom the ban of honest custom designatcs as a
:" black leg and those who would be more class C
denominate land pirate Such an individual pre-
sumes to he acknowledged gentleman, and in per-
sonal appearance, far address and apparel
cernea he passes with strangers such. But to the
sacious observer of human character, there is
thin. about him too sinister cynical to Justify the
dignity of this ehet. There is something in the gam,
bcrin the form of his counten,ncc the expression of
his smile, the tone of his voice-tlat aversion
and dread. Whatever the might have been If the
work of God and of naturethe first and the
ondary agencies had been married and perverted
cannot be known; hut the gambler has made himself
the distorted being that he is, by the wfu abuse Of
faculties that should have been directed to nober ends.
The gambler is creature Of remunerative lcisure-of
lucrative ideness He usually found at the best hotels
of village and metropolis and doubt his ncfarous
gains allow him to visit places of fashionable resort in
pursuit of his prey He will usually he found with
satellites about him-attracted by the instinct of
mon misunderstanding the internal art. The gambler
wayays his victims he watches for the steps of the
unwary, and decoys them to the slaughter. He is a
cheat and plundercr. virtuous should discard
him: honest should brand him. and children should
be taught to utter his the synonym of yillany
The idea that any of intelligence can allow him
self to follow gambling a calling, is har,lihood OF
deprvity utterly amazing 1t is treason politic;
economy: swindle of the common sense and common
justice of society The idea that of this class
find home and associates in human society is marvel
only surpassed hy the fact that such creature exists
for he is prodigy of in comparison such
the clown and the co1comb angelic. P.

Cleaning the Streets.-The first move
ment in the right direction toward putting
the streets in proper order was commenced
this week, that we have seen since residing
in Elkton. This is removing the mud
from the turnpike which underlies the
oozing mass that Dogs main street. The
street is part of the old turnpike road,
formerly the mail route between Baltimore
and Philadelphia. All that is required to
have dry, excellent street through the
principal part of the town, is to cart the
mud off which has been hauled onin former
wears to afford Bailiffs' jobs to spend the
town taxes. A trife annually would keep
the street in excellent condition after get
ting clear of the mud. Effor.s have been
made to stop the mud holes by dumping a
load of gravel and sand in them, which OF
course went to the bottom and the mud
quickly asserted its superiority by rising tc
the top. The contrast between the part
where the mud had been removed from
with the other parts of the street, after the
heavy rain on Thursday last, should satisfy
any one of the proper course to PURSUE
We hope the Town Commissioners will moi
allow the work to stop till Il entire street
is relieved of its present disgusting coat O
mud.

COnyentiOn.-The Good Templars of

interesting meeting as Rev. Thomas L.

well as the G. W. V. T., and Delegations
from all parts of the county are expected
to be present.
Free Pupils.-The law granting $500 to
the Elkton Academy from the State annu-
ally, also requires the education of five
free scholars by that institution. All
parts of the county are entitled to this
privilege and the Trustees desire that the
names of candidates be sent in before the
next meeting of the Beard which will take
place on ----. We apprehend
that no parents or guardians will avail them
selves Of this privilege, who reside at points
too remote from the Academy to allow the
pupils to board at home, as the boarding
would cost more than would be saved by
free tuition.

Celebration at CeciltOn.-The mass meet

Monday, in celebration of the 18th Amend
ment, was grand success. In spite of the
wretched condition of the roads, delega-
tons Of men, women and children from the
list and I'd Districts, and from the adjoin-
ing county of Kent, poured into Cecilton,
with their banners and music, till the old
est Inhabitants declared they had never be-
fore seen such a gathering in Sassafras
Neck.
By o'clock between two and three
thousand persons had assembled in the
grove near the town, where the meeting
was organized and Thomas p. Jones ap-
pointed President, with DR.. Thos. A. Rob
erts, Rev. VIM. NJ. johnson, George W.

ter, Joseph Reason, John Morris, Col. j.

VIM. M. Johnson, appropriate speeches
were made by Prof. VIM. Howard Day, OF
Wilmington, and w. P. Ewing and John

prevailed during the day, and everything
passed off to the entire satisfaction of all
the participants in the first political grand

Larcency of a Gold Watch.-Mr. John

Larcency of a Gold WatcI.-Mr. John
E. Alexander, of this town, had gold
watch distracted from his vest pocket on
Tuesday afternoon last, by two tramps,
who stopped at his house and asked for
something to eat. While Mrs. Alex ander
was attending to their request, and they
were waiting at the door or on the porch
to be served, they espied Mr.. Alexander's
vest hanging near the window in the front
room. When none of the family were OBJ
serving them, they managed to reach
through the open window and unlock the
watch from the chain, and leaving the
chain in its place, the theft was not dis
covered till some time after they had been
gone. Pursuit was made, but the thieves
were not overtaken. They were both
young men, abundantly able to work, but
prefer to make their living by begging and
stealing. They called the same afternoon
at two other places in town, that we heard
of, and being supplied with food in both
instances, could not have been suffering
from hunger; but their main purpose was
evidently to steal. Such rogues are con-
stantly calling at the houses of our citizens,
soliciting food and should be driven off;
for in nincty-nine cases out of hundred
these tramps are noting but thievipg
Migrants.
