Annapolis was not an exception To
H. rule in the celebration OF Christ
s,s Anniversary, aud her sleepy in
sabi,ants were aroused at an unusal
s,fy hour by the incessant
sosinr Of horns. firing of pistols and

Nearly every family made some pre-
Saration to celebrate the holiday in
d appropriate manner. Large sup

Carcily 10 money, were fully equal
those Of any former years. As q
GENERAL thing, the day passed of
uielly and there was no disturbance

rowed down now to General Moxey
and Governor Ireland. They are
fast nags, and will have an exciting
contest. Let the matter go as il
may, Texas will have an excellent
representative in the senate. 1t now
seems certain that Colonel Mills i'll
not enter the race. The pronounced
stand taken by him on the subject OF
prohibition has attracted much adj
verse criticism in certain quarters
aud many think 1t is necessary for
the brave Mills to go before his con-

this isso, then we will see the grand

he has ever received.
