SUNDAY SCHOOL CzLEBRAT1oN.-The
picnic held on Friday last, by the teachers
and scholars attached to the Methodist church
of this town, occurred in the beautiful grove
near the residence of Mrs. Burnett. The
day was most suspicious, attendance of schOl-
airs and friends of the school quite large, and
the entertainment provided sumptuOus and
abundant. Appropriate religious services
were gone through with, after which old and
young devoted themselves in good earnest to
the innocent and pleasurable enjoymeuts
which the occasion suggested.

DEATH OF DIR. r. S. BLAcKBURN-Our
community are greatly panied to learn of the
death of this former estimable fellow citizen,
which occurred at his residence in Clarke
county, during the last week In all the re-
lations of life, he was as near blameless as it
is the nature of man to attain, and from his
amiability of character, frank, open and gen.
erous intercourse with his fellow-men, had en-
deared to himself host of ardent and devoted
friends. He leaves large family, many near
relatives, with the entire communities in
which he was known, to deeply lament his
departure

HoNEY-ITs PRoFIr--Some twelve
months since, we announced that Mr. Critten-
den, a Northern gentleman who had pur-
chased farm in the neighborhood of Rip
pom, in this county, had imported all the way
from his native home fifty bee stands, and
they had all arrived in apparent safety at our
depot. During the last week, we had the
pleasure of witnessing the product of the la
Dor of this little colony, as Mr.. c. was on his
way to Baltimore, with l 200 to 800 Tbs. of
the most choice honey, for which he received,
as he informs us, 80 cts. per tb. Add this,
to the natural increase of the colony, and
what investment, in legitimate pursuits, has
paid any better2

Dr.. STYLEs.-This gentleman will be rec
objected as having filed the pulpit of our
Presbyterian church for many nights in sue
cessiOn, to crowded houses and most attentive
listeners. He is now in Kansas, and the Ad-
Uertiser in referring to his discourses, says:
1t has never been our lot to either read or
listen to more exhaustive and conclusive NOR
al demonstrations than We have heard from
him.

Spring Mill on Thursday last, was, we learn,
most decided success. Members of the
Order were in attendance from Harper's Fer.

pecially from Harper's Ferry, were out in
full force, and added greatly to the festive
enjoyments of the occasion.

DIDN'T SELL HIS CeRN.-The boy who
came to teWn with roasting ears" to sell, is
like good many other people who have some
thing to sell. He tramped over town, and
towards evening was accostsd with the in
quiry, if he had sold any? "No," said greeny,
"Fve been all bout town, and nobody said
anything to me bout my roasting ears. Two
or three fellows asked me what I'd got in nv
bag; and told them twas none of their bust
ness" So is with the mechanic in his shop.
and the merchant in his store. They have to

PERILs OF REsEMBLANCE.-On Sunday
morning last the detectives of Baltimore were
placed upon the lookout by telegram from
Cumberland, stating that man named Ea-
gan had committed some offence in that place,
and that his arrest was desired. The tele.
gram further stated that he was q passenger
on the train to arrive in Baltimore early Sun
day morning, and gave rather minute de-
scriptiOn of his person. When the train ar
rived it brought as passenger, DIR. T. CLAY
MADDOX. of Richmond, but who is we'll
known tor many persons in the Valley, and
when the eyes of the detectives fell upon
him, they spotted" him as their victim, and
would take no denial. He answered the de-
scription, and to the station house he must 90.
He assured them that his name was not Ea-
gan, that he was Maddox when he left home
and he believed that he was Maddox still, and
as proof pointed to his clothes which were
marked with his name, and to the collar on
the neck of favorite dog. All would not
do however, and his vigilant captors retained
him in possession until he was identified by
the proprietor of the Maltby House. What
became of the real offender is not known.

LEcrUREs.-Since our last we have been IA
vored with two lectures, one from Dr. Willis,
and the one on Wednesday evening last by Mr.
Milburn. Our citizens have become lecture go
ing people, and therefore both were well attend
ed. DR.. Willis was upon The Model Wife,
with the text from the last chapter of Proverbs.
1t was pleasant and profitable effort, and like
all the undertakings of this lecturer, it was de-
signed to please the fancy and improve the
heart No one can listen to one of his lectures
without a conciousness of moral improvement
and progress. Although he brings forth moth
ing profound or abstruse, except it be in the
the science of human nature, his lectures are
the most acceptable of any that are listened to-.
Mr.. Milburn's lecture upon the Future of the
Republic wasa very passable eratorial affair,
full ofimagination and fancy, and remarkable
as much, perhaps, for its defamation as for
any other feature.
On Saturday evening, we are to have Muir
doch, and with his national reputation as q
reader and renderer of English we may ex-
pect banquet and crowded house.
