of thanks to those who took part, aud, af-
ter brief pause, called to Mr.. w. +.

be considered his prisoner. Mr.. Childs

slight hesitation, did as he va. requested.
Mr.. Browning held In his hand a. beauti

The steamer Samuel J. Peniz has now
Withdrawn her trips for the winter season
to the great Inconvenience of her many
patrons. Your correspondent, on a re
turn trip from Baltimore, had TO drive a
distance of fourteen miles over n road
that is kept in most miserable condition,

While some young Americans were en-
joying themselves by having a pyrotech

Last week store and dwelling on West
river, opposite this place, was consumed
by fire.
A dwelling belonging to Mr.. Charles
Stewart was also burned to the ground

The building was new one on which
there was no insurance.
A general melee ensued between some
whites and blacks of this place and for a
time things went lively, fence pailings
and every other available thing that could
be used as a weapon being brought into
requisition. 1t seems that the blacks used
some insulting language towards the
whites that gave rise to the difficulty

the mate, and colored man named Frank
Peel, who had previously received Sc.
we're thrashing, followed up the attack in
one of the stores in the neighborhood =
An employee of the slOop not being salts
