Local Correspondence,

Mr.. EdHor.-It is no mean sobriquet, the
champion of Temperance" and permit me
to congratulate you on your honorable dis
~tinetion. Would it not be a-happy thing in
deed, were others whom we wot of, cham
pions, in word and deed, of this same noble
principle? To be the advocate of that cause
which seeks to stay the tears of distress, and
hush the moaning Of sorrow; to prevent the
aching heart, and save from widowhood and
orphanage; to advocate that which is a "sav-
ings bank" of honest and hard wrought earn
ings, that which seeks to roll back the fiery
tide of incompetence, in whose track is to be
seen the wreck of that which was once beau
tiful and lovely, its course strewn with signs
and groans, its music the wild cry of anguish
and despair, where manhood is shorn Of its
glory and intellect dethroned and debased,
hearts susceptible of the sweetest feelings
broken and crushed; Oh, I say,to advocate a
cause, though but lately won to it, that would
consummate this grand role of good, is to
stand along side Of a Howard in the work of
philanthropic effort. May you never want
in zeal in this labor of love, but always be
ready to do and dare in the good work.
Mr.. Editor, the Temperance move inaugu-
rated in our town within the last three months,
is, L am happy to say alive and moving on
nobly in its great work of reformation. Above
forty names are already enrolled OF its book
to the principle Of total abstinence. At the
last meeting of the Council on Tuesday night,
thirteen applications were received for ad-
mission. Thus the good work goes on
Oh, Sir! by this the hearts Of mothers and
wives have been made glad !; young men who
were fast becoming slaves to rum, have been
rescued from its power; our youths have
been drawn into the citadel where the in
siGeous foe dares not come 4; and the inebriate
has been enabled to assert his manhood again
and exult in his redemption. The doors of
our goodly Council are wide open, all are
invited to come in an2 sit under the folds
of the banner, whose cscutcheon is Faith,
Temperance and Charity.
Total ABSTINENCE.

G MISCELLANY.

THE SABBATH School PIcN1c.-Perpet-
uating a custom which has prevailed Tor
wears, the officers connected with the Sabbath
School of the NJ. Z. Church, South, in this
town, purpose holding a Picnic on FRIDAY
next, the 14th instant. Pleasant as have
been these social gatherings il, the past, and
fruitful as they have been of good works, III
PLANTING the seeds of truth and morality in
the young aad tender hearts of children, 1t
is reasonable to expect that the picnic on Fri
day, from the arrangements being made, will
equal, if it does not surpass, any ever held
under the auspices of the school, To make
it more impressive,ssand to increase its effect
for good, an invitation has been extended to
Jefferson Council, Friends of Temperance,
and that order is expected to be present and
participate in the pleasant exercises OF the
day. In addition, we are requested by the
pastor of the church, and the superintendent
of the school, to extend a cordial invitation
10 the friends of the cause, without regard to
denomination, to be present with them. The
friends of the school are reminded that the
invaluable basket should not be forgotten, as
upon its presence aud f~ullness will greatly
depend the enjoyment of the juvenile popu-
latiou that is expected to attend. HENRY
DUNN, whose reputation rs a caterer IN con-
fectionery is established, will be on hand with
an abundant supply of such refreshments as
the occasion demands.

THE DRAMA,-The Amateur Dramatic
Association of this town gave an exhibition.
on Friday night last. The tragedy. Douglas,
was rendered with remarkable force and bril-
liancy ; each member performing his part per-
fectly. The house was well filled with a high
ly appreciative audience, and all seemed to
greatly enjoy the truly fine acting.
Lady Randolph's appearance on the stage
was followed by an attentive silence by the
audience. Mr.. Downing performed this char
acter with much force, e%liciting many plaudits
from the spectators. Lord Randolph was
played by Mr.. j. S. yesterday. This gen.
tleman is decidedly a fine actor, and bore
his part with marked ability. Mr.. b. Il.
Harrell as Glcnalvon, was perfect, and was
repeatedly applauded. Old and young Nor
val, could not have been better played by
professionals. 1t was an entire success, and
highly appreciated by the audience.
The after piece--"Cool asa Cucumber" was
a highly entertaining comedy, rendered doub-
ly so by the. effective manner in which 1t was
played. The impudent GOODNESS of the Gu
cumber was exceedingly refreshing. This
part was rendered by Mr.. A. +. Hall, whose
talent as a commedian is unquestionable.-
All were we'll verscd in their respective parts
and played them with great effect.

REL1GIous-Netho3iSt Protestant Church.
A correspondent writing to us, says that
since the woods meeting held in the grove
near Nippon in this county July 10Th, under
the auspices of Harpcr's Ferry mission ofthe
Methodist Protestant Church, Rev. Jas. c.
Stewart, the pastor, assisted by Rev. Jas. *.
Nichols from Frederick city, Md, have been
conductinga protracted meeting in the School
House near the grove.
The services have been held nightly, and
many have become deeply interested in the
:all-importaut matter of their personal saliva
ton. The altar of mercy is crowded every
night with earnest and prayertul penitents,
and twelve persons have already protested to
have found favor with God in the forgiveness
of sins.
The revival is a thoroughly spiritual one,
and so powerfully has the Holy Spirit been
manifested that few have attended upon the
services, who have not been brought under
its convicting influences. Old inhabitants
of the community have said they never wit
messed in their midst Il more extensive dis
play of the power of God than is now seen
and felt. Cody seriousness is taking hold
of the minds end hearts Of the people.
Providence permitting, the meeting will
continue throughout this week and the next.

TIE TOURNAMENT AT MOnGAN's SPRING

TIE TOURNAMENT AT MORGAN's SPRING.
We attended the tournament and picnic
at Morgan's Spring, near Shephcrdstown on
Friday last. Tn affair was decidedly a
pleasant one, and we are free to say gave us a
good opinion of the hospitality of the residents
of the sold untcrriied." Some twenty-five
entered the field of contest, and the prize
was borne off by Mir. VIM. SrALEY, who
had the honor of making choice Of the Queen
of Love and Beauty. He selected Miss Viii.
lard, of Maryland, who wore the floral crown
with becoming modesty and unaffected dig
nifty. Thu dance, after the riding was con-
Guided. was the big feature OF the occasion.
and was participated in by : large number Of
the young ones, and not Il few of maturcr
years. Indeed, we were very near getting
on the platform %oursclt, but were deferred by
the recollection of Dechcrt's remarks about
our extreme height. Altogether, the day
passed pleasantly, and We hope to the entire
satisfaction of the large crowd in attendance.

COLORED CELEBRATION AT S~HEPHERDS-
TOwN.-Our Unbleached American citizens
had a gala day of it at Shepherdstown on
Thursday last. The Registers account says:
cat II o'clock, the procession, under d.
rcction of Peter Hodge, Chief Marshal, forms
ed at the African Church, paradcd through
our principal streets, and then repaired to
Lemons Grove, near town, where a sumptu-
Gus feast awaited them. The order of Good
SamaritanS was the only order represented
In procession they carried a broad axe, saw,
plough, emblcms of Industry and Agricul>
ture. There were inscribed upon their BAN
ners the notices, Industry and Agriculture"
They wore white aprons, edged with blue
ribbon. upon which were inscribed :" Order
of Good Samaritans," and upon the banner of
the Sabbath School, " Feed my Sheep
The procession was quite large, and presented
an imposing appearance. Monkeys colored
Band OF Hagerstown was present and enli-
vened the occasion very much. They dis
coursed music exceedingly well, having been
taught by a celebrated musician from Mary
laud. In the grove, speeches were delivered
by Revs. Maybcrry Of this place, Jones Of
L%Iarper's Ferry, and Peter Hodge, Marshal.
The speakers gave their coiOrcd brethren
good and wholesome advice in telling them
to 90 TO work and become honest and indus
trious citizens; that they were dependent
upon the white folks for a livelihood, and
that they should dcport themselves in such a
manner as would gain the confidence and re-
spect Of the white population. Their tables
were ladened with everything to s~atiate the
inner man, and we believe none went away
without becoming satisfied. The number

About four o'clock the procession returned
to town and were dismissed, everything hav-
ing passed off without the least disturbance
to mar their pleasures. Upon the whole it
was a very creditable affair, aud one which
speaks well for the colored population of this
community, as we'll as those present from
abroad.

been very destructive to poultry in this county
this season, and the advertised remedies have
failed to furnish the desired relief. We
know of one poultry raiser vino has lost

disease threatens to destroy every head of
poultry on the place. We have seen the

hope it may be tried with SUGGEST
