Badly Simmons, who resides on Red Hill, within sight of this town, had her hands severely burned on Wednesday last, in her eftorts to extinguish the burning clothing of her little child. A fire had been kindled out of doors, and while the mother was in the bouse, the child got to playing with the fire. Its clothing took fire and its screams soon brought the mother to the rescue, who succeeded in tearing the burning clothing off the little sufferer, but not before it was badly, perhaps fatally burned.

Temperance Hiss The Grand Temperance Mass Meeting of the season will be hold at Rising Sun, on the Seventh day of August next is the correct date, all others being S. J. Grove, (not as heretofore announced.) An able corps of speak. rs will be present. Among others, Hon.

W. Daniels, Rev. P. Ceorabs, Rev. W.

C. Best, and Mr. C. S. Masher.

This meeting is expected to be, like the one last year, among the largest Mass Meetings ever held in the county of any kind. Narrow Escape From Saturday last, Harry, a young son of Capt. Realey, of this town, aged about six years, while playing with a younger brother on the wharf at the bridge, slipped off into the water. The alarm was immediately given by the younger brother, and James Williams, (colored) arrived on the wharf just as he went down the last time. Williams immediately dived and brought the boy up; water was running from bis mouth, nosa and ears, and for over half an hour he was speechless; the lad is now convalescent.

of the Oliver Mr. J. Tonje, for the use of the National Bank of Elkton, has purchased the brick building on Main street, known as tlie for $3,350. As soon as tlie building can be fitted up, the Bank will be moved to it from its present location. Tbe building was formerly used for the old Maryland Bank, and has a strong, fire proof vault in it.

The price was remarkably low. We doubt if double the money would build sueh a house, while the lot on which it stands, contains nearly half an acre, and is valuable as a location. The Magmw Will At a special meeting of the Court for Cecil county on Tuesday last (a full Board present) the following order was passed in the well-known Mag raw Will Case: Onisred, That the resignation of Howard Munnickhuysen as one of tlie executors of the last will and testament of £iuily W. Magraw, lato of Cecil county, deceased, be accepted; and it appears that eaid Howard Munnickhuysen has accounted with his co-executor, Adam It. Magraw, and paid over and delivered to him all the money and assets belonging to the estate of said Emily Magraw, deceased, which have come into his hands, is further or dered by said Court, that the said Howard Munnickhuysen be and ho is hereby relens and discharged from all fuither responsibility or liability as such executor.

The Woodlawn Applications for seventy tents have been made, with additions to this number cvciy day, and the managers anticipate the camp will be a very great success. It is to be hoped that grace will abound in proportion to the multitude. competitive examination, under Cevil Service rule, was held in the P. O. Department, July loth to till one-third class vacancy in the office of Foreign Mails, and oue second-class vacant cy in the Finance office.

Nineteen tirst and second-class clerks, representing all the Bureaus of the Department, (the competition having been thrown open to the wnole Department,) were examined on scholastic and technical ques tions, (written.) James S. Crawford of Klkton, taking the highest figure in the general average, as reported by the Board of Examiners, was promoted to third, (from first,) class, and has been transferred to the office of Foreign Mails from the appointment office. A Supposed young lady of Still Creek Hundred, Delaware, one of the first families of the neighborhoodrich, witty and pretty, just from boarding school, sweet seventeen and her head full of romance as the New York Ledger, or Saturday Night, disappeared from her home, on Monday evening last. Search was made and it was found that a gallant young gentleman of the fast fraternity with whom the young lady had been corresponding, had also disappeared at the same time. The Agent at Newport station said that a lady and gentleman answering the description of the missing lovers, had purchased tickets for Klkton.

The lady had on a straw hat and calico dress. Two gentlemen come to Elkton the next day in search of the romantic fugitives, but could get no clew of them, we understood. A couple put up at the Railroad Hotel, who answer- i cd the description, it was said, but the report, we believe, had not much foundation. The name of the lady was reported to be Chandler, and her lover's name Hunt. The name of the Knight is a challenge to his pursuers.

On Saturday, slh instant, a little 5 year old son of Wm.

The new walnut pews for our new church have arrived, and are being put in place.

They are very creditable to the institution, and will, when finished, present a very handsome appearance. Harvest is about over, and the wheat is considered extra good; grass middling: oats tolerable. Port Deposit Items. Opposition a Hock from Cholera The steam ferry which was recently started between this place and Lapidum, has been doing so well that other parties talk of starting a larger boat in opposition; one that has a deck large enough to carry stock, wagons, would certainly be a great improvement on the present oue. A few days ago, while the little ferry- boat was towing a canal-boat across the river, a squall struck her and blew the canal-boat against a rock and sunk her; fortunately the tug Whitaker was coming up at the time, and rendered the necessary assistance and brought her to Davis A Ways's wharf before she went under.

She was pumped out by the fire engine and the break fixed up sufficiently to allow her to go up the canal, where she could be properly repaired. Jeremiah Swisher, an old and well-known citizen of the upper end of this District, near Rowlandsvillc, died on last Sunday, of cholera. We have heard of no other eases. The Colora Sunday school, of this place, held a pic-nic in Hecart's grove, on Wednesday last. Whose business is it to repair sidewalks 1 in Port Deposit? If it is the work of the Commissioners, they are certainly very delinquent in duty, as any one can testify who will pass up the street from the Bank.

If they pass without accident they will be fortunate. Chesapeake City Hems. Death Opposition Base Dali Closing Stores Pleasure- Seekers Deter tire Sport Hints. Capt. Adams died on Saturday last, while bringing his vessel up the creek.

The report was that he died from sun I stroke; but on examination by Dr. Karaner it proved to be affection of the heart His remains were taken to Philadelphia, on Saturday night, by the passenger boat. A steam tug appeared in our creek, on Monday morning, to tow vessels in opposij lion to the lug A. C. Grey, but finding it rather difficult work, loft, after two days trial.

C. Now we suppose after a little practice they will throw themselves open for challenges as 1 did the old Cecil in her day. i Our merchants are forming a bad tice of keeping their stores open too late on Saturday nights. We fear they will infringe on the Sabbath. This we think might be easily remedied by mutual agreement with one another.

The Bayard House is now nearly full as usual, of Slimmer visitors seeking pleasure such as Chesapeake can offer. A detective has been spending several days in our town and vicinity in search ol an insane man from Philadelphia, but as yet has not found him. Some of our sporting men are prepar- ing a racing ground, where they can im- prove their blooded animals. The course is to be about a mile from town. Our board walks are not yet Fourth street, between Bohemia Avenue and George streets should be cleaned.

I Til- (Veil Whip. THAI SPIKE. Foutmt Distjuct, July 22nd, 1873. Ennon is sohot in TheDemorrat office that 1 thought I would try the temperature of your sanctum. As long as the weather remains too warm to argue the tariff question, I hope The Democrat will have the grace to lot it rest.

My present purpose is not to press the subject; I only propose to pay a little attention to the article entitled The term spike belongs to the military service, and is peculiar to the artillery arm; and is the last resort of the defeated party. When a gunner is obliged to leave his piece in the hands of the enemy, the last thing he does is to spike it, to render it useless. The only way in which the term could he applied ith propriety to my late communication would be for him to keep it locked up in his desk, this would have been in some way analogous to spiking a that is just what he did for a week, till he prepared the labored abortion, which he denominates The The Doctor is aware that too many men adopt the opinions of others without stopping to think for and yet he falls into the same error, and that to without stopping to consider whether those opinions are of recent or ancient date; and consequently he has adopted opinions, or what is still woise, expressions which are entirely out of date, however lino they may have been in the past. A man to have correct opinions, in accord with present existing poets, must think right on through heat and cold, or he will ha left behind the living age, and will find himself stumbling among the tombs and monuments of the past, or jibbering with tha ghosts of the departed. In proof of what I say respecting The Democrat having adopted the antiquated opinions of other men, let me refer to what he says about the colors of American cloths.

He says, is not an American wooldyer who can produce a cloth that will not The time may have been when this assertion would have been true, but that time has passed. When I read tins unkind fling at our domestic manufactories, I felt sure that it was a mistake; but I did not like to risk ray poor opinion against thatof a nor yet to let it pass unnoticed; I therefore dropped a note to Messrs. Jos. Dean A Son, a respectable firm of practical manufacturers, of at least three generations' standing. The fiim now consists of William Dean and John Filling, and possibly Joseph Dean, the son of the former, but 1 do not know that such is the case.

He is the writer of the subjoined letter ami is familiar with the business of the (inn. Any one of those three gentlemen can take the place of any hand in the mill, and arc therefore perfectly familiar with the whole business. The elder Mr. Dean is a free trader; none of your shuffling judicious or revenue tariff men, but he advocates an abolishment of all duties; while Mr. Pilling is in favor of protection, and each is able to give the best reasons for his faith; they are, moreover upright, honest men, not only in matters of business, but also in matters of opinions; and they both work out their own opinions in the light of existing facts.

The different conclusions at which they arrive ought to teach charity and forbearance toward dissenters. Here is the letter of Joseph Dean, approved by Mr. Pilling, and I point to it with pride, not because it convicts The Democrat of the charge above preferred, but because it vindicates the skill of American manufacturers. Mr. Dadd Scott, Big Elk Creek Cecil Co.

Sir; reply to your letter of the loth instant, inquiring: Ameriean-made cloth compares in the durability of colors with the colors of foreign cloths, especially with those of French and English make; and any fact casting light on American cloth and its we would say, that so far as our experience and information extends, that as durable colors can he and are made in this country as in France, England or elsewhere. Of course some places in this country have water naturally better adapted for dyeing some and many colors, than what other places have; yet in many places the water may easily be corrected by the dyer. But we have a great many kinds of water in this country, and as wo have the same dye-stuff, and if not the native skill and experience, we have it in men who come here from all the foreign countries. There is no reason why we cannot make as durable colors as any foreigners. One reason why the colors on many ot the goods made in this country are not so durable as the foreign, is that the goods are made cheap for the great portion of our people; while the durable and expensive colors are only put on the fine and high-priced goods, such as there are only a few in this country; while the most of the imported goods are the fine and high juiced; also for the reason that most of the dye stuff is imported and costs more here than in Europe; also because onr people follow the frequent changes in shapes and colors of fashion, it is not so necessary for durable colors.

But wo suppose your inquiry refers more particularly to the line all-wool broadcloth for wear. Of that kind there is comparatively little made in this country. We do not know of any mill making that kind of cloth, yet we think there are a very fete such mills in the New England States. The most of that cloth sold in our markets is foreign make, for the reason that to make it good, like the foreign, it is really necessary to have several kinds of wool, having different properties to lie mixed together to make good broadcloth, and while only one or two such kinds are grown in this country, the others must be imported, and ihu imported wool costs so much more here than in Europe, that the manufacturers of this country cannot make as good cloth to sell in our markets as cheap as the foreign cloth; therefore the woolen manufacturers are limited in this country in the kind of goods they can make in competition with the Europeans. Therefore our manufacturers make such goods as the wools grown principally in this country are adapted to, viz: fancy knitted goods, delaines, in which grea' hulk, strength and brilliant colors, with little weight, are wanted, for such purposes the wool grown in this country has no The proof of this is found in the large quantity of such goods made in this country and the small proportion of them imported.

We have many mills also making fancy cassimeres, blankets, carpets, partly from homo and partly from foreign grown wool, the latter being imported at low' rates of duty. Wo think if the woolen manufacturers of this country can get the necessary wools, dye-stuffs, oil, as cheap as the Europeans, that, notwithstanding our having to pay higher wages and interest of money invested, we can, with our inventive genius and energy, be able to make any kind of woolen goods as good and cheap as the foreigners. Respectfully, Joseph Dean A Son. Newark, Del, July 1873. This letter speaks for itself.

Comment is out of order. Let the candid reader judge between a retired physician and a practical woolen-manufacturer of English paternity who speaks from the experience of three generations. The Democrat 1 is not more felicitous in his comparisons and historic allusions than he is in his statements of facts, as his reference to i Don Quixote will show. Uis comparison of Big Elk with that hero, is a sad failure. Here are his words; Like that renowned 1 knight-errant be wanders over the world, seeking an adversary worthy of his lance, and in default of a substantial foe, he tilts with wind-mills and flocks of Has it come to this indeed, that the many wrongs and abuses which I have exposed and denounced arc only imaginary? They must he so.

to make his comparison good. Are the readers of The Democrat, who have honored me by reading my letters, week I after week, with increasing interest; (not because of any peculiar force or beauty of style, but simply because I told them in my plow boy way of the oppressions under which they were groaning, and because they felt and knew the force of the truths I uttered,) willing to believe that tl.osj I evils and wrongs are only the creatures of I Hig Elk's fervid or feverish imagination? i Are high taxes, usury, extravagance and waste of public money, falling prices, increasing indebtedness, with dimin-1 idled means of payment; corruption ami general depravity which formed the burj den of my letters, to he put on a level with a crazy man's mistake in attacking a Hock of sheep or a wind-mill, believing them to bo monsters or giants? Arc the people, is the Editor of The Democrat, willing to believe that the above evils have no existence If not, his parallel between Big Elk and Bon Quixote has no existence. It ould not require a very brilliant imagination to institute a comparison between the Sage of The Democrat and the above hro. 1 fancy I see that gentleman mounted on his richly caparisoned editorial steed, brandishing his maiden lance and panting for some foeman worthy of his steel. lie has heard of wrongs suffered by the people (perhaps he lead of them in Big Elk's letters) and he resolves to seek out and destroy the wrong-doers.

He takes the road to fame; he however omits one precaution, which his ancient prototype found useful and convenient, to have his servant Sanco Panza by his side to counsel him in danger and assist him in defeat; our modern knight glittering in tinsel, and armed to the teeth, and full of confidence in his mission and his prowess goes, as far as I know, unattended on his perilous adventure. lie bad not proceeded far till he saw what he look for a giant; it was the protective tariff. His heroic blood took fire, and having no trusty conservative Sanco Panza at hand to advise him of his danger, he spurs his blooded charger full tilt against the naked facts, and they unhorsed him and put him horn de combat. I see him leading hack his limping horse; his broken lance is abandoned in his tlight, ha returns covered with dust and sweat; his gaudy attire is tattered and torn; he is a sadder, we not wiser man. He is not subdued; he looks hack and mutters, I 'll fight you again when the weather gets Now here is a comparison, the correctness of which no reader will fail to recognize; perfect and complete in all its parts, Editor of 'The Democrat himself being judge.

Like most anti-tariff writers, The Democrat makes a lunge at New England, in which offensive epithets are applied altogether out of their usual and proper meanings. He says: England has taxed a continent to build up her What power has New England to tax anybody outside of her own limits? The absurdity of such remarks makes a reply unnecessary From the frequent use of the word and in The Democrat in reference to our manufactories and manufacturers, one might suppose that New England had some exclusive tight not enjoyed by other sections of the country; but such is not the case. Maryland has every right enjoyed by Elkton and Warwick have the same rights with Lowell and Fall River. Those unmeaning terms then, are nothing but mere verbiage, calculated, if not intended, to deceive and mislead the ignorant. The assertion in The Democrat, that farmer cannot compete with the manufacturer in the essential article of labor" reminds me so forcibly of what this same class of writers used to say about owning that the identity of their purposes is plainly apparent.

All I wrote for The Democrat on the tariff and other topics was done in no partisan interest; but if that sheet will insist on going before the landless laborers of the country with a proposition to reduce or destroy the tariff because it raises the price of labor in older that large land-holders may cultivate their lands to more profit, they are welcome to all the capital they can make out of that large and useful class. The people will meet you at Mr. Democrat. 1 see nothing sad in a man leaving a farm in New England, or in Maryland, if I know he has bettered his condition by the change 1 know there arc thousands of farmers struggling year after year for a scanty subsistance, who had hotter leave their lands behind them if they cannot sell them. They would make more in one year in some mill or mine than they now make in three.

The reason is that production has out run consumption. There are more sellers than buyers of agricultural products, and consequently they sell for less than it costs to produce them. What then is the remedy General Jackson, in his celebrated letter, written about the year 1824, to Dr. Colcmau, so clearly stated the case that I i cannot refrain from giving his views. The General said; Withdraw 800,000 of our agricultural population and shut them up in factories where they will become consumers instead of This is the only way possible to benefit the What is the remedy proposed by the The In a late number of that paper the Editor warns young men against leaving their homes in the country.

at says the philosopher of The Democrat. Stay on the farm, boys; keen away from the towns, lest you loose your health and morals 100, and go the bad Read the agricultural articles in this paper: plow deep, manure liberally, cultivate thoroughly, and you will insure increased crops; and then what Why still further depress an already over stocked market. Now which plan looks most advisable? That of General Jackson or this of The Cecil Democrat Let the thinking laborers of Cecil answer. We are told it takes a given weight of food to supply the Ac. 1 have no objection to that as an abstract proposition; but when that quantity has been produced and exceeded so far that it sells for less than the cost of reproduction, common sense seems to say withdraw some of the unpaid labor from this over-burdened business and employ it where it will bo better paid, and that is just what protection is doing.

If all the factories in this country which owe their origin to protection were closed and their inmates were obliged to become grain raisers, what would bo the result Any man with half an eye can sec that the prices of grain must be still more depressed, wages would fall, until in a few years they would he down to a level with Hindoostan and Mexico, where a day's work will command about 10 cents. I will not accept the invitation to cross the Canada Line, treat myself to a suit of new clothes under the British but I will give ray friend of 'The Democrat better advise. Should he be in want of a like article, let him go down to Mill, at Newark, and he need not take gold to make his purchase. Let him take a sack of wool and he will get as much more for his wool, in consequence of the tariff, than it would bring him in cheap Canada, as will pay the difference in his Canada is indeed a cheap country. So are all free-trade countries, Mexico, Turkey, Portugal and all South America are cheap countries, but no body wants to go there.

An Irishman was telling a market woman what a line pair of chickens he could buy in the Ould Country for a shilling. why did you not said the lady, that cheap said Pat, shilling was not to be There is the whole story in a nut shell. All free-trade countries are cheap to those who have money, but to the poor the shilling is not to lie bad. There is no work but farming, and that is over done. There is no money, and wages are low.

But I tire with exposing these superficial absurdities. The climax of which is reached by the assertion that it is far more important to the farmer to he able to purchase his supplies of dry goods, groceries and hardware at fifty or a hundred per cent less than ho now pays for them Now, if the gentleman will tell us how the makers and sellers are to be paid when the farmers buy for one hundred per cent less than he now pays, he will beat any arithmetic in the I schools. But I suppose that slip was owing to the heat. The old saw, from nothing and nothing is nowhere compared to this grave proposition to take one hundred from one hundred and divide the remainder. Of a piece with the above, is the assertion that exports have dwindled down to almost 1 guess he means our exports of manufactures, for it occurs in that connection.

But the Secretary of the Treasury reports, on page It, there was an increase of exports in every branch of manufactures, except cotton, leather, and lire arms. I never found so many reckless, unfounded statements in any article 1 ever undertook to analyze. There is no excuse, unless it is the heat, for the Editor is a man of learning, and a gentleman who would not intentionally misrepresent. He further says that every article the farmer is compelled to buy is protected by this tariff, Ac. Please tell us, Mr.

Democrat, how much laritf is on tea and coffee, and how much the common dry goods used in families arc increased by the duty. 1 thought all intelligent people know that coffee and tea are on the free list, and that our coarse dry goods arc not affected by the tariff.
