To Mr.. Peregoy is due large amount of praise
for the efficient manner in which he carried out
the plans Of the architects, and for the general
good management OF the Workmen employed on
the building. His work is done, but he has made
friends and reputation that will last him a life
time by his uniform kindness and courtesy to all
who came in contact with him while building the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad depot. His du-
ties were so satisfactorily performed that he has
tractors for 'hs work.
Mr.. George Z. Kirk was called on by the presi-
dent, and said that the company and the contract
ors had shown sugacity in the selection OF their
general superintendent, and that all interested
could point to the building with pride as one oil
the handsOmest in this section OF the country.
The toast to ''The Press" was ably responded
| to by Messrs. Cr0ggon Of the Star, Mccarthy Of
the Baltimore STl, ana pToesor Of me GrLe;

/ putting up their handsome new depot, and TO the
eficient manner in which the contractors had per

ment to Mr.. Peregoy for his zeal in pushing the

LETTER FROM AYNAPnLLS

Correspondence Of The National Republican,
ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 10, 1874.
Capt. John FeddeTson, OF the schooner Speed,
hailing from Baltimore, was taken before Justice
Thompson this morning, charged with dredging
on Hollands Island. The schooner was captured
yesterday by Capt. Lemuel Mitchell, of the
slOop Mamie MerTyman. In default Of $500
bail Capt. +. was committed to jail. The Speed,
with the crew, was allowed to proceed to Balti-
more. There were five other vessels on the bar
TO two OF which, after he had secured the Speed,
Capt. NJ. gave chase. He fired four tWo-pOunders
from his cannon at them, but failed 10 bring the
vessels, and one went over one Of them, through
its sails. After a chase Of ten miles, at Cove
Point, Capt. NJ. gave up the pursuit. He knows
one Of the vessels, and Will be able hereafter to
capture it.
The attention of the Governor having been
called by the proper officers Of the association to
the second annual meeting Of the American

to represent the State OF Maryland: VIM. Keyser
Chas. J. Baker, Oden- Bowie, Jacob LOrne and
A. p. German.
Poultry thieves have been at work in the Third
district Of this county. Poultry Is a valuable
article to have on hand at Thanksgiving times for
market sale, and the thieves know it.
One OF "Our oldest citizens predicts from the

The Governor will not be able to be present on
Thanksgiving day at EaStOn to review the 9Th

Read over carefully the whole scheme Of the last
Library Concert. There is good deal more in
II than the Capital Gift, alone. There are four
single gifts, ranging from $4,000 to 100000, and
then there are hundreds and thousands of smaller
ones, but none 30 email that the person who
draws them would refuse to cash them because
they were beneath his snticipations. There is a
profit even IN the smallest Of them. A person
who buys freely can hardly loose anything worth
mentioning. But few days remain in which to
buy ticket, and as they are now selling they may
ali be exhausted before that time This hint
ought to be sufficient Tor any prudent man.

be strictly guarded with honesty and fairness
and relying upon the belief that all who have

Judgment as to the eXpedieney OF another post.
pOnement for a few days, Notwithstanding our
announcement that the concert would positively
be given on the 10Th instant, have decided that q
short delay will be more satisfactory to all
holders Of tickets than to have partial drawing
on Thursday next.
The following reasons have induced US to this
action:
First. While our receipts have been large, they
have not been Of sufficient amount TO enable us TO
give full drawing.
Second. A drawing on the 18th instant would
not yield enough to accomplish the object for
tered; and,
Third. The encouragement which we have re-
ceiVed conYinces US that in forty days more we
shall, without any failure, give drawing which,
in its results will be acceptable TO all our friends
We have, therefore, fixed upon
TUESDAY, DECEMBER %,
as the day when tho concert and distribution
will take place, whether all the tickets are sold

agency where purchased.
