ARLINGTON, Cotton & KEMBLE's
M1NsTRE1's 's.-This favorite Chicago COM
bination from Myers Opera House, are an
nounced to appear for one night only at Mu-
sic Hall on Tuesday evening, June 9th, and
will favor our citizens with one of their
laughable entertainments,w which are so just
ly praised by the daily press Of Chicago.
This company will appear in full force and
numbers, and give precisely the same en-
tertainment as in that city. The Manage
ment annouce through their agent that they
only advertise what they perform, and that
the concert shall be first class in every
detail, and one which our best families and
children can safely and properly attend.
As this company is popular one, and
nearly every member of it having more or
less acquaintance throughout our State, it
is reasonable to predict that the attendance
on next Tuesday evening will be very large.
The reserved seats are now ready at Jones
& Coles Book Store, and 60 early for
them, is our candid advice.

Minutes of the Cecil County Temperance
Convention,

HELD AT CECILToN, ON MARCH 9th.
Pursuant to notice given, the 10th session
of this Convention assembled at the Hall
of Sassafras Lodge, No. III, l. o. G. T.,
and in the absence of the W. c. T., VIM.
T. Cain, of Chesapeake City, was called to
preside.
Owing to the change of time and the
non-central place of meeting, there was
not SO large an attendance as on many
previous occasions, but there was a general
interest manifested by those present and
strong feeling expressed that the necessities
of the times demand the energies of all
true and radical temperance men.
1t was thought that semi annual sessions
might in the future be more advisable and
the meeting accordingly decided upon the
last Wednesday in July, as a convenient
time for holding the next session, as this
especially suits the people of the peach
Districts and comes upon the heels of har-
vest in some other parts of the county. A
committee consisting of Thos. C. Crouch,
VIM. T. Cain and Geo. Balderston, were
appointed to make arrangements as to the
place and manner of holding the next SEES
sion of which due notice will be given.
The resolutions submitted by the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose were,
many of them, of too political a character
to meet the views of some, who thought
them unadvised, and they were laid on the
table. The following, however, were
passed:
Rssozced That as true temperance work
ers we will not cease our efforts until our
law making power give us such measure
as suffering humanity demands.
Resolped That while we as true temper
men, deplore the action of our Legislature
in reference to the temperance question, it
is nothing more than we might anticipate
from those who were elected by such
powerful "key."
Res0lUsd, That the resolution of our
Legislature asking the State Comptroller
what the effect upon the revenues of the
State will be, of the passage of Local
Option Law meets our hearty approval
and more especially as it implies that if
the law asked for be granted, majority of
citizens are ready to abolish our licensed
tipling houses.
Resolped, That this captions opposition to
purely Democratic law, by the " Whisky
Ring" is positive refutation of their oft
repeated assertion that their business is a
public necessity.
WHEREAS, The latest and most approved
medical writers have all defined alcohol as
narcotic poison, the effects of which are
plainly visible on all who use it in any
shape, especially in it's more concentrated
forms.
Resolved, That we as temperance men
can see no difference, except in degree
between the use of "pure liquors." and
the use of the adulterated articles now so
much complained of.
Resolced, That we extend our thanks to
those temperance men who have recently
given MS their support through our county
papers. but we would have thanked them
more cordially had they spoken sooner.
