CHESAPEAKE CITY ITEMS.

Rsligious-The protracted meeting which
has been in progress here for about three
weeks closed on Wednesday night last
1t did not prove rs successful as was antici-
pated, only about six persons having pro-
fessed change.
Exchange Of Propeuy.-Mr. John Mears,
of Chesapeake City, has exchanged his
farm, on Bohemia Manor, for property at
st. Augustine, owned by Mrs. Martha
Borem.
Being Repaired.-The steamer Wyoming,
laying at the wharf, here, is being repaired,
and will be in good running order by the
time the towing season begins.
Horse Drowned.-Mr. Stradley, residing
at Back Greek, had horse drowned, on
Saturday last, while crossing Moore's Run,
on Bohemia Manor. The stream was much
swollen by the rain, and the horse losing
his footing, could not get out, and was
drowned.
Improvements. Some of our citizens are
making great preparations for building as
soon as the weather will permit-new
dwellings and store-houses to be built, and
old ones repaired. The prospects are that
the town will wear quite a lively appear
auce the coming spring.
Temperance-Th members of the Pres
byterian Church of this town intend hold
ing monthly temperance meetings in their
church. This society has taken a bold
stand in favor of temperance, and is the
the only church organization we have yet
heard of in the country, taking so active a
part in the temperance movement. This
is step in the right direction. How many
more will follow?
Dancing.-Dancing parties are Of quite
frequent occurrence in this neighborhood
but instead of being social gathering q
young folks, it is often the resort of persons
who indulge freely in bad whisky, and who
delight in inducing young men and boys
to drink but it is true that at thee time
stronger efforts are being put forth by the
christian church, the Devil works the
harder.

For The Cecil Wing
DEBATING SOCIETY.

A Debating Society has been organized
at Warburton's School House in the Third
District, which has proved so far a complete
success. This Society meets every Satur-
day evening, and thus far has been well
attended, there being present Oh each even
ing, since its organization, able speakers,
who have literally participated. The ques-
ton under discussion last Saturday evening
read thus:-''Has the increased wealth of
the nation had favorable effect upon the
morals Of the people" Both sides of this
question were ably debated, and excited
considerable attention. Societies of this
character are beneficial to community,
and are great auxiliary in preparing
young men for public speaking. 1t would
be far better if men would turn their atten-
ton in this direction, and spend their even
ings honorably, pleasantly, and proftably,
instead of frequenting dens of crime,
shame, and intemperance, and causing dis
grace to fall upon themselves and their
families. God speed the work of reforma-
ton. Y.
Debating Societies to be of any real
practical value in the rural districts, should
select such questions as relate to farming
in its numerous branches. Debating Far
mers' Clubs, through the county, organi-
zed with this object in view, would not
only be centres of amusement, where the
neighborhood could assemble once week,
but would serve, if properly conducted, of
great practical advantage. A pleasant
room for this purpose could be provided in
every neighborhood, and a small collection
Of a few cents, to defray expense of light,
fuel, and pay a janitor, would be all the
necessary expense incurred.

The Emigrant Colony. Monday after:

1he EmIgrant COlOny.-On Monday after
noon next, the meeting to discuss the pro-
.ject of forming company as the nucleus
of a colony to settle in Colorado, is adver-
tised to take place at the Hall, in this
town. We should not like to see some of
our best citizens leave us to settle in that
far off region, but cannot deny the many
advantagesof such an organization when
properly conducted
We are tempted to enter our protest
against all such projects to induce our
young men to emigrate, leaving behind so
many Young, cultivated and handsome
ladies-their natural mates hieing away to
the setting sun; and always feeling deep
interest in the welfare of the sex, we have
been interested by project which has
been mooted of organizing manageable
young ladies' society. A great many enter
prising young. men annually 60 West, who,
if thrifty, soon gather sufficient means to
make them independent; and owing to the
restitution of the country in that respect,
are prevented from forming matrimonial
alliances, and thus completing their plans
for permanent home and future comfort.
To supply this golden link in the existence
of the emigrant, a proposition has been
preached to form colony of the girls they
leave behind; but serious obstacle to this
enterprise is the want of funds to carry the
project into effect. The most feasible plan
that we have heard suggested, is that each
lady candidate who wishes to join the party
should be required to sign bond pledgine
the payment of a certain sum to the organ
izers of the enterprise, payable after matri-
mOny. The number Of days could be fixed,
and the amount which latter could alone
be determined by n knowledge of the
expense likely to be incurred. We would
suggest that the time of payment, in case
such a project is entered into, be fixed
sometime within the honey moon. The
handsomest ladies it would seem reasonable
to require to pay the highest rates, in con
sideration of the numerous suitors the,
would be sure to have, giving them mucl
greater opportunities for making the bes
matches. But on the other hand it is fai
to presume that they would be the first t.
enter on the matrimonial career, and til,
committee in charge would receive an earl,
return for the outlay in their venture. S,
that viewing the matter in the dfferen
phases it presents, we do not know but
uniform sum would be the best.
After the enterprise was fairly started
the COMMITTEE of arrangements coul,
receive the photographs of those VIII,
desired to become members with = brie
autobiography of the lady, stating her sooia
status, accomplishments, &C., topcthe
with description of her person, pivip,
complexion, color of eyes, hair, and aoe
none to be represented above twenty five
and mostly eighteen. We throw out thes
hints for the consideration of any VIII,
think of trying such scheme.
Men are always forming co-operativ,
movements to advance their interests; an,
we hold that the women have the SAM
rights to seek to better their condition
and they are as much in request, and O
the same paramount necessity to subdu
the wilderness, as tie men.
