Local MIscEIlANY.-On Saturday last a
fishing party, Of about 80 or 10 young ladies'
and gentlemen, from the vicinity of Newark
Del, passed through Elkton both going and
returning from FrenchtoSn. In the even
ing number of the party got up little
sensation by driving in procession through
the town and out to the Far Creek, and
;. splurging" generally In some instances
there were as many as three young ladies to
one gentleman,-a feature to which we
should seriously object, it having been our
experience that one Young lady is as many
as one gentleman can properly attend to-
But, after ALL we suppose it is only fulfil

On Wednesday last, two excursion parties
left town for pleasure trip down Ell; river,

his entire wheat crop, (thrcshcd,) all of
which were entirely consumed.
The cellar wall next the street of the
dwelling occupied by Abel Davis, on the
south side Of Main street, and the next
building east of the Bank, was forced in by
the pressure of the water, during the heavy
ram on Tuesday last. The house is owned
by Amos Howard. The family narrowly
escaped serious, il not fatal, injury, some Of
the members having left the basement but n
few minutes before the wall gave way. The
basement was used as kitchen, and con.

ment, among which was a new cook stove.
The floor was covered with stones and dirt
to the depth of two feet, burying and de.
stroying everything in the apartment. The
wall fell in last spring or winter, and was
but recently rebuilt, and through neglect n
large pile of dirt was allowed to remain in
the street, which damned the water till its
accumulated weight forced the wall, and
found vent through the lower story of the
building and into the marsh on the opposite
side. The whole was the result of bad

DEATH OF REV. ii. +. lIuRN-On Satur.
day morning last this community received
the painful intelligence of the death of Rev.
ii. +. Hurn. whose untimely death, like
that of many hundreds who have persisted
during the late heated term, was caused by
exposure to the tropical heat of last week
Beside the relatives of his second wife the
deceased had many warm friends in this
county, where he was well known and highly
esteemed, having been formerly pastor of
the NJ. l.. Church, both at Elkton and Port
Deposit. At the time of his death he was
pastor Of the First NJ. Il. Church of Lancas.
ter Pa.
The following account of his death is
from the Lancaster EapreSs of Saturday
last:
1t is our painful duty to record the death
Of Rev. II. +. lIurn, Pastor of the First NJ.
q. Church Of this city, which took place at
an early hour this morning. Although Mr.
Hurn had been unwell since the Fourth of
July, neither the community, his congrcga.
ton, nor his personal friends were prepared
for the sad event. On the Fourth of July
he rode out to the camp ground with some
members OF his church, who went to locate
their tents. The weather being oppressivcly
hot, he was somewhat overcome with the
ride, and complained of feeling unwel.-
He came home greatly fatigued, and had
Just lain down to rest when he was called
upon to visit a member of his congregation
who was lying dangerously i'll. Mr.. Hurn was
not the man to hesitate responding to II call
Of duty, and he went to minister ut the sick
bed when it were better he had been minis.
tered unto He continued to suffer from Il
complete prostration OF his nervous system,
which finally ended in death. Mr.. Hurn
was recognized as one of the .ablest minis.
tiers connected with the Philadelphia Con.
ference, and had few superiors in the church
He was a profound scholar and student of
unilagging industry. He was thoroughly
vcrsed, not only in theology. but in every
branch of natural science, which he could
even indirectly bring to his aid in ilustra
ting and enforcing the great truths of the
Gospel which lay so near to his heart His
death is a severe loss to the church at large,
and peculiarly 50 to the congregation to
which he had but few months since been
called to minister.
His funeral took place on Tuesday, and
was largely attended by citizens of all de.
nominations. The services in the Church
were Of Il highly appropriate and interesting
character and were conducted by several of
the most prominent preachers of the NJ. L.
Church. AT the grave the impressive cere-
mony of the Masonic order, of winch de.
ceased was member, was observed.

Especially this will be so, ifsuch amend

very far from that extraordinary pre-

opinions to yield to ones own, upon
questions either of right or expediency.

men OF Tennessee have taken counsel to-

should have wished that some things
should be otherwise. Personally, we re-
tain our own opinions, and shall continue
freely to express them. With the ex-
ceDtions which we have mentioned we
find nothing 10 the platform from which
to dissent; and if we did, as we had the
opportunity offered US to be present in
the Convention il we pleased, and to
participate in its deliberations, we should
do no more than simply state our Opin-
ion, and cordially cooperate with cur
Conservative brethren in their Iabours
for the salvation of the country.

IT is reported by the friends Of Senator

Z upon q charge in the Tribune that he

We are not ordinarily, an apOlogist,
much less sn advocate, for bringing to
judgment newspapers for personal ssper-
sions, although we endeavor to steer
clear of such salt and pepper and other
condiments Of journalism, ourselves.
Yet the Tribune has been so altogether
regardless of the rights and prerogstives
of others, and has resorted to such low
and scsbby devices to deter, alarm, or in
spire those with fear who could be so i'm
posed upon, by every mean and miser-
able pretext, that it is not smiss, under
the circumstances, il should be made to
feel that it is not immaculate, but may
be held responsible for its vile imputa-
tons and assaults on personal character.
The Greeley" of former times may
have been the same Greeley that incu-
bates the diatribes Of the Tribune now,
bat the character Of the Christian gen.
tleman, the expert ststistician, the be-
lever in the philosophy Of truth, is lost
in the political wrangler, the defamer Of
character, the patron OF the robber and

THE following letter was left for pub
LEGATION on Thursday evening, but was
unavoidably crowded out:
MEMPHIS, Tenn, June Il, 1868.
Editors Memphis Appeal:
must ask room in your columns to
correct s misstatement Of facts made by
tO-dRy's Ledger, relative to the conduct
OF Hon. Edmund Cooper, President Of the
late State Convention, at Nashville. The
Ledger says:
" The resolutions Of the Convention
having thus passed in the first instance,
amendment Of the Johnson resolution
was cut off by the casting vote Of the
President Of the Convention, who thus
virtually represented b ninth congress
siOuAl district. And we trust they will
not regard themselves ss instructed by
the casting vote, which Mr.. Cooper had
no more right to give in such a case As
10 the most material issue before the
Convention, than Gov. Foote had, or
any other member present"
The facts are these The motion TO
lay the motion to reconsider on the table
Was lost by tie vote, and the motion to
reconsider was then lost by vote of five
TO three, Cot. Cooper not voting IN either
instance, and thus not subject TO the IN
iugt criticism of UnpaTliamentary ma
nipUlations."
This statement would be verified by
any one present, competent TO note re-
suits Of parliamentary proceedings; but
this is not necessary, for the Ledger con-
tradicss itself by first saying the vote was
" five to three" and IN the very next
sentence charges Col. Cooper with hav-
ing decided il by his single vote.
In another column the Ledger says:
"The following is the resolution Of the
State Convention supplementary to
President Johnson. Il Was adopted by
common consent, except the following
words, not really adopted at all, viz;
And in the event bis name should be
offered 10 the National Nominating Con-
vention, il is due that the representa-
riyes Of his own State should cast q
united vote In his favor Ga this there
was 3 tie vote by districts. We will pub
Iish all the resolutions tomorrow"
And again the facts are not IS stated, for
the sentence above quoted was part OF
the resolution which wss unanimously
adopted by the Committee Oh Rssolu-
tons, and by the Convention with few
dissenting voices, and subsequently by
votes against reconsiderlDg this vote, Of
i've to three-this last vote being taken
by Congressional Districts.
No vOIe was taken on this resolution
except as 3 whole, including the sentance
pledging united vote in his favor, and
the two articles in the Ledger, which Oh
analysis, are acknowledging, are
plainly weak efforts to break the tOrce Of
this pledge, even going FAR enough TO do
= gross injustice to Col. Cooper, who,
whether in q private capacity, or IS
President of the State Convention, is g
gentleman far above TeprOach.
Yours very Re. pectfully, etc,
JOHN W. LEkTWICH.
