CONVERSIONS LAYING At UNITY
This interesting affair came off on Satur-
day morning, the It'll instant, in the
presence of the Quarterly Conference of
Howard Circuit, Trustees, and respect
able audience The officiating minister
on the occasion was the Rev. l.. w.
Bates, of Washington, assisted by the
Revs. Il. Whitesides. of Cecil county,
DR.. j. II. Owings, and r. S. Norris,
superintendent of the circuit. The adj
dress was able, eloquent and appropriate,
and was listened to with marked inte-
rest 1t was source of universal re-
greet that this gentleman could not re-
main with us over Sabbath.
The afternoon services were conducted
by Rev. Charles Cochcl, Jr., preacher
on the circuit. assisted by G. +. White
sides and j. w. Carlton, young brethren
who have just entered the itinorant mi
nistry of the Methodist Protestant church.
BY perseyering industry they will beyond
doubt soon occupy a respectable position
among their elder brethren.
On Sabbath morning a large crowd
was attracted to the spot, who were ad-
dressed by r. Scott Norris, on the sub
ject of the Book of God in the church
The circumstances growing out of the
beat and lack of shade were somewhat
opposing, yet seldom was there ever seen
greater respect paid to the preaching Of
the Word. After the sermon, a liberal
subscription was received in behalf Of
the new enterprise. One sentence in
the preachers text was, "the people had
mind to work." which was forclbly and
practically illustrated by the liberal con-
duct on this occasion.
The pulpit, at o'clock, was occupied
by Rev. j. f. Whitesides. The dis
course was good one, characterized by
clearness of thought and great earnest
ness Of manner His theme was Doing
the will of God" as suggested by the
teachings and example of Christ. Be
fore the benediction was pronounced, DR..
Owings, in his own felicitous style, pre-
sented again the claims of the new
church; several subscriptions were add
ed, most Of them liberal.
The services at night were held in the
church at Triadelphia, about mile dis.
tant. j. w. Carlton ofiiciated. His Of.
fort was certainly creditable one, and
gave as far as have learned general sa.
tisfaction. Thus ended the labors of Tho
corner stone meeting"-an occasion
that will often be looked back to will
pleasure. Great credit is due to all con
corned in this undertaking. May the,
succeed to their satisfaction. UNITY.

Our information is that but few Of the
fisheries, this year, have even paid cx-
penses. The general impression is, that
the season is complete failure. There
have been fewer shad and herring caught
even than last year. Operations will

We learn from the Fremont journal
that the earnings of the road for one

finished but twenty-five miles. The

Say, dear Sarah, is thy spirit
Round me in my lonely home?
Is thy breath that once I broathed,
Still the greeting when Gomez
Does thy angel lip yet touch Inc
As I go in lite's great heldy
As the worlds temptation meets me,
Is thy presence still my shield!
Or when evenings sombro curtain
Finishes another scene,
Does thy angel smile still brighten
My almost dcspUndng micng
Yes, thy spirit may stll linger
Where ! lonely make my stay;
For thy 'parture Is Gods finger,
As he calls me "watch and pray"
But thy won,ed form is missing
Missing is thy 'custnmed smile;
And where once did meet greeting,
Naught is LETT me many "a mile;
