THE PEACH TRADE.-Priees Going Up
The Baltimore american reports Wednes-
day, in that city, another light day in the
peach market, the prices being still higher
than they were the previous day. The
entire receipts did not aggregate over 1900
boxes, and prices ranged from 81 to $1.5O
per box. Some choice lots brought $1.75
and So, but their number was not large.
The shippers bought up more than two
thirds of the entire amount of the arrivals.
The fact of their paying such high prices
for the peaches to be shipped West, shows
better than anything else that good fruit is
in demand and will bring remunerative
prices. The unfavorable weather and the
bad condition of the roads prevented a
larger arrival of peaches on Tuesday and
Monday. The men would not gather the
fruit under any conditions during the recent
rain storms, and the horses could not haul
heavy loads on account of the deep mud.
The growers now entertain the hope that
the weather will be fine, and there is every
prospect that large quantity of fruit will
be sold during next week, when also bet
ter guilty will be introduced into the mar
ket.
Three hundred car loads went over the
P, w. & B. railroad on the same day to
be distributed to towns and cities north
and west. Twelve car loads picked for
Wednesday afternoon.
In the Philadelphia market poor peaches
in crates 40950 cts. medium 50@65 cts;
prime so cts. (G$1.25 Baskets 25g50 cts,
as to quality. Market moderate.

A GROWING EVIL.

For The Cecil Wing.
A GROWING EVIL.
MIR. EDIToR:-1s there no relief from the
nuisance of being bored by the juvenile
beggars who periodically swarm our streets
and places of business? For some days
lately there has been a project on foot
among a company of the young gentlemen
in imitation of their older brothers-in
order to indulge in the popular pastime of
"match games" For this purpose they
got some person to scribble a few lines at
the head of foolscap sheet, setting forth
their desires, and then proceeded from place
to place to collect the "needful."
By the way, it is one of the strange
things Of these strange times that parents
do not see the evil that must necessarily
result from permitting their boys of ten
and twelve years-or any other age, Tor
that matter-to organize themselves into
these "clubs," and then running over the
country, from town to town, playing
"match games," where home restraint is
taken off, and the temptation to swear,
smoke, drink, and even gamble, is immense
ly increased. Only few weeks ago one of
these match games was played at the depot
here, between a town club and one from
Newark, and the swearing on the part of
the visiting club was the subject of general
remark. Besides, in these "hard times"
the "suits and paraphanalia, and carriage
hire takes money that ought to be used for
nobler purposes. From this "sowing of
the wind" what will the harvest be? is
question with many thoughtful minds.
TRUTH.
las our opinion has been asked, we ad-
wise that the name of each sturdy little
beggar be noted down and sent to his par
ents, so that his mother may know what
he has been about. The notice might run
something like this: Madam met
your son - to-day engaged in the busi-
ness of street begging, and deem it my
duty to inform you of the fact.-Ed.l

Principle Items.

MR.. ED1ToR:-It has been some time
since communication has appeared in
The Whig from our village and vicinity.
Perhaps you would be pleased to hear how
we are getting on. Whether we are keep
ing pace with the other parts of the county,
or whether we have agreed to stand still
and spoil. Well, to be truthful about the
matter, SO far as our village is concerned,
we are advancing very slowly indeed. No
new buildings; no improvements since last
year worthy of notice. Our mechanics,
however, seem to have tolerably good
run of work at fair wages; hence, we have
been enabled to keep our heads above water
thus far.
The farming community is surely in a
most fourishing condition, the land pro-
missing heavy yeild of corn, potatoes,
buckwheat, &c. The late rains have been
very seasonable indeed, removing all COM
plant of the scarcity of water.
: The health of the neighborhood is gen.
orally good, though our physician, DR.. j..
T. Brown, still seems to be kept busy;
more, however, as the result of an extern
sive practice than of epidemic.
The morals of our people may be said to
be in statua quo. Notwithstanding the
last camp meeting held at Woodlawn, no
apparent change for good is yet noticed;
indeed we are inclined to think that the
generation coming on will not improve the
moral condition to any very great extent,
Judging from the young men and boys
ranging from nineteen down to seven years
of age, who are found on the Sabbath day
collected ON store boxes, fences, &C., and
enjoying themselves in various ways-such
as dancing, boxing and giving vent to the
most profane and vulgar language, greatly
to the annoyance of the more sober minded
citizens. We would advise the parents of
such to look well to the interests of their
boys, lest at a time when they think not,
the law or the devil, or perhaps both, may
fasten their talons in them and bear them
off to more uncongenial climes. An utter
disregard for the Sabbath has become toe
common with some of our youth, and nc
doubt will continue to be so until" patti.
ence ceases to be virtue" GA word tc
the wise is sufficient" (others ought to be
attended to in time).
There are but two subjects now that
take strong hold upon the minds of the
people. Temperance and green6acks both
are much needed. AS rule, however, the
latter is consequent upon the former.

WHEREAS, We, the people of Cecil county. now in
meeting assembled for the purpose of hearing and
giving expression to our views on the almportaut
subject of the liquor traffic in this State and county.
having pettioned the Legislature of Maryland time
and again to confer the qualified voters Of the
county the privilege of deciding for themselves whether
they will longer suffer from the terrible infection of
the legazed liquor traffic, and all its attending evils,
blighting and destroying social and family ties and
loading with increased and unnecessary taxation;
AND WHEREAS, All efforts heretofore to obtain
the desired legislation have failed; therefore,
Resolved That the President and Secretary Of this
meeting be instructed ask all the candidates for
office who have been who may be nominated by
political parties this Fall have the words Local
Option printed at the heads Of all the tickets to be
voted that tho sentiment of the whole voting popula
on may be opposed to it having the

nominee. Five candidates were placed in
nomination for Sheriff: Edward H. Biddle,
of the Second District; Samuel B. Grant,
of the Third; Charles w. Shippers, of the
Fifth; John c. Hindman, of the Sixth.
W. T. Boulden, of the Second, was nomi-
mated by the Seventh District; his own dis
trict, the Second, having nominated Biddle.
The Third District nominated Grant as a
blind, and the Sixth put up Hindman for
the same purpose. They were men of
straw to draw and scatter the vote of the
Convention.
Five ballots were had before choice was
made. The first ballot resulted in Is votes
for Biddle, 10 for Shippers, for Hindman,
for Grant and for Boulden. On the
second vote Biddle had 1G, Shippers 12,
Hindman and Grant each, and Boulden 5.
The third trial showed 16 for Biddle, Sim
pers Is, Grant and Hindman each, and
Boulden 4. The fourth vote was 20 for
Biddle, 16 for Shippers, for Grant, 4 for
Boulden, and for Hindman. The time
had now arrived for deciding the contest.
The ring held the winning card with some
to spare, and by ordering the votes which
had been held in reserve on Boulder and
IIindman to be concentrated on Shippers
and couple withdrawn from Biddle, the
ring had three or four to spare, which, to
keep up appearances, they cast for Grant,
which was too thin even for that. The
result of the fifth and final vote was "a for
Shippers, IS for Biddle, and for Grant.

Shippers the nominee for Sheriff.

miles north from Harney's Peak, with a
width OF twenty miles, which contain

which will pay better. The Professor
brings an ounce of course gold obtained
