Our esteemed city contemporary, the Bal
timore Sun, has libel suit on hand, in which
Benjamin Hopkins, an excursion manager,
of Baltimore, is the plaintiff On the 21st of
August Hopkins took to Port Deposit, on the
steamer Columbia, about 900 exeursionsts,
some of whom behaved in disorderly man.
ner. The following day the Sun published
nm account of the affair, in letter from Port
Deposit. Mr., Hopkins objects TO the Sans
version, as calculated to damage his business,
and hence the suit. The Sun insists that it
has the utmost confidence in the correctness
of its report and publishes the proceedings of
the authorities of Port Deposit, who notified
Mr.. Hopkins that his excursion would not he
allowed to land the following week, 1t may
have been Mr.. Hopkinss misfortune that his
party embraced some rough characters, for
whose actions he was, of course, not respon-
sible; hut the account given in the Sun did
not mention his name, and he should not
censure that journal for publishing what
actually took place. In such cases the least
said is soonest mended, fact that Mr.. Hop
kins will doubtless discover when he comes
to pay court charges and lawyers fees.

FREAK OF NATURE.-On the 18th inst,
the wife of Moses Rice, colored, living near
Forest Hill, gave birth to healthy female
child, which is distinguished above its kind
by the possession of four distinct, well de-
velopcd cars. The little colored stranger was
further remarkable for having the mysterious
caul over its face, which to the supersttious
is an omen of great prosperity in store for its
recipient and of his or her ability to see spir-
its. With such preternatural gifts ofhearing
and seeing the dusky infant ought to have
good chance in the world.
