ReligiOns.-Rev. L. c. Matlack having
made engagements, long before the conf
mencement of the present series of meet
ings, to be absent several days during the
+ Of
North East, took charge of the meeting i'll
his absence, preaching Oh Sunday, Monday
and Wednesday evenings with much effect.
On Tuesday evening, Rev. Mr.. Pierson, Of
Bethel Circuit, preached an able and ap-
propriate sermon. The interest is still i'll
crcasing. The altar is crowded nightly,
and conversions are numerous. The church
is fully walked up from its spiritual sleep,
and no doubt will accomplish much good
through the means now employed. Mr..
Matlack returned on Thursday.
Rev. NJ. belong, of Universalist Denom-
nation, preached Doctrinal Sermon, in
the Odd Fellows Hall, Elkton, on Sunday
last His text was, Rev. 4 II. Quite
large audience was in attendante who
listened with marked attention to the dis
course. The sermon was logical, forcable
and exhaustive as far as the passages of
scripture referred to by the minister APP
piled. We presume that a number of other
passages might have been quoted which
would not have been so easily reconciled
to the doctrine promulgated.
A terrible annoyance was persons running
out and entering the Hall during service,
interrupting the preacher frequently
Those Hall stairs and the passages should
be covered with mating. This annoyance
will disturb every assembly where public
speaking is the object of entertainment,
until the nuisance is abated by mating.
Local Miscellany.-A vigorous effort is
being made to organize the Methodist
Church South all Though the peninsula.
Dr. II. c. Register formerly of Elkton,
but who, for some years, has been practic-
ing dentistry in Milford, Del, has removed
to Philadelphia, where he is still pursuing
his profession.
The new street, running south from Main
street, and through property of Miss c.
Johns and Jacob A. Howard, has been
opened, thus making three new streets
within few months, the other two
being at the West end of town. We sug-
gest that the new street be called Johns
street or Howard Avenue.
w. B. Heatzig is erecting new dwelling
on the street just opened, and we learn
that it is the intention of Hill, Harlan &
Co. to erect several houses thereon.
Men are employed day and night putting
new machinery in the mills of Hill, Har-
Ian & Co. 1t will probably take two weeks
longer to put the mills in running order.
Tile Democrat in it's last issue, says there
are sixteen manageable men in town, who
ont want to. And it might have added,
that there are three times as many mar
riageable women in Elkton, who do want
to-
Mathew Cantwell, mail-carrier form the
ElktOn post-office to the post-office car,
after an experience of eleven years, has
resigned his position, having made money
enough doubtless, to retire. J. Rodney
Lowman now has the job.
