CpRlsgIAyA. Oct. 25. /

CHRISTIAN, Oct. 20, 1850.
MsssRs. BDIroRs Tho Democrats
(party of false pretenss) held thsil
grand mass meeting and parade or
Saturday night at this place. There
was considerable anxiety felt by the
inhabitants on account Of the expected
visit Of the New Castle roughs who h I'D
been invite d to participa in the pa
rsde. They had so distinguished them
selves at Townsend that it was feared
that they Intended q repetition at THU
place as il had been boastsd thst they
intended to clean ont the niggsrs al
this place. Hence the anxiety on the
part o. the respectable portion Of the
citizens.
All prstexs for 9 VOW with Republi

Troop went to Newark to join in the pa
rade there. The oolorsd population did
their dealing early In the evening and
went to their homes and stayed there,
fortunately the New Castle crowd die

would only have had their own party tt

marching that was disgusting.
A very large proportion Of the parade
was composed Of minors. This Is the
school where Democrats are made; they
take them In ss infants and tickle theil
vanity with tinsel and gswgaws, AND
when once in they ever 'iter take
great interest in them to keep them ir
the track until they can vote.
Republicans slack up when a cam

The wild Duck.

What are known among sportsmen as
ebay Ducks" are now on their autumn
nal passage to the feeding grounds in
the Chesapeake bay and its tributaries,
Long lines of CANVASS backs, red heads
and coots can be seen daily, coming
from the far North, and making bee
line, Ligh in the air, down the Delaware
to point where the broad expanse Of
the waters Of the Chesapeake bay can
be seen. The directness Of their fight
is wonderful even to those who have
watched their migration for years, and
who knows their habits. Not unfre-
quently few Of these migratory birds
stop to rest in the channel and along
the bars and aats in the Delaware,
where they remain but short time,
and then resume their flight. Arrived
at their destination, they alight and
continue in one place for two or three
days, during which time they oil their
feathers before they begin to feed on
"valisenaria," or wild celery, which
abounds ia the rivers they frequent.
After sufficient rest they fly from one
river to another in search Of food, call
ed BY gunners, Grading" Vast num-
bers oongregate on the fats below Havrs
de Grace, where they are killed by
hundreds from the sink boxes Of men
who shoot them for market. The law
restricts shooting to three days in each
week, and not unfrequently during
this time, a single gunner shoots from
one to two hundred. This is continued
as long as the flats are free from ice.
When the river is closed by hard wealth.
eT, the birds move down the bay, and
the profits Of the professional shooter
are at an end until the river is again
open. The ducks are sent to Philadel
phia, New York and Baltimore, and
many of them are sent to Europe by
the steamers during the fall and win
ter, where they grace the tables OF the
wealthy and aristocratic.

John P. Springer, ex-clerk OF the
Peace has finished his, examination Of
the assessment list for names that had
been omitted in copying the names up

Mr.. Springer to place such names upon

was intense. families being compelled 20 leave

where the crcvasse occurred il 40 feet deep

Burglars in Biddeford.
During the street parade of the London
Circns. this morning, several houses in this
city were burglarized. In one or two in
stances they were discovered in houses, but
excused their entrance As a mistake. Notice
being given at the police station officers
were promptly ON their TRAIL but not until
afternoon could anything definite be learned
as TO their whereabouts, when word came that
three men of the description of the burglars
had gone out through to Goose Fair, on the
railroad. Officers were after them at once
and overlook and turned them back. and again
and half from the city, in the woods. CITY
Marshal Andrews was alone with one man at
the time and called upon them to surrender
themselves, but was answered by shots from
their revolvers, twenty-five shots being cx-
changed. The officers thought one was wound
ed, the burglars taking to the woods. The
officers having exhausted their cartridges sent
back for supply. In the meantime the
burglars got start of some Is minutes. The
excitement spread rapidly and soon there
were hundreds upon the scene. The woods
being of great extent il was finally thought
best to order the Biddeford Light Infantry
out, who promptly responded under
command of Captain Berry and were sent
into the woods at speaking distance apart. In
about two hours two of the fellows were seen
to leave the woods, cross a road and strike for
another growth, close followed by the
marshal Capt. Berry succeeded in getting
up. The third is still in the woods, followed
by officers and Infantry. They are thought
to be the same men who committed the bur-
slaries in Saco last night and also connected
with the recent burglaries in Portland. They
both small and dark Completed and give
no names. The other was larger man.
Nothing was found upon these two.
