DONATION VISTA number of the
members and friends of the NJ. f.
Church, in Elk Neck, visited the resi-
dence of their Pastor, Rev. H. G. SIM
pers, in this place, last week, and left
many testimonials of their esteem, in
the way of poultry, sausage, vegetables,
&c. We understand this appointment
is getting along finely under the admin
istration of the present Pastor, who,
though his term of servicc-threc years
will have expired next spring, is de-
sired to return.
SELECT PARTY-Prof n. C. Dough-
erty, Principal of North East Classical
Seminary, gave delightful entertain
ment to few of his pupils last Satur-
day evening, at his boarding-house.-
Those who were present enjoyed them
selves greatly. We have not learned
how those who were absent felt being
overlooked.
On A VIsIT.-Rev. l.. G. Matlack,
of Elkton NJ. Z. Church, spent last Sat
urday, in North East, with the Pastor
of the NJ +. Church there. 1t looked
suspicious. We wonder if these gen.
tlcmcn were making arrangements for
their appointments in the spring?
SCIENTIFIC LEcTURE.-The Rev. r.
II. Ball, DID, of Washington, DC, is
to deliver Scientific Lecture, in the
North East NJ. f. Church, on Saturday
evening, the 23d inst, for the benefit of
the Parsonage. The Lecture is to be
illustrated by appropriate and costly
apparatus, and promises to be one of
the richest intellectual treats ever pre-
scented to this people.
AN OLD FRIEND GoNE.-Thc large
poplar tree which has stood for years
in the front yard of the residence of
William Beatty, Esq, was cut down
one day last week. The loss is visible
to all who pass the place. Did they
ever sing the song, Woodman, spare
that trec?"
QuERY.-Did the Agent of The Cecil
Wing. on his late visit to North East,
succeed in convincing anybody that
there is any virtue in advertising? Do
you suppose there is an individual in
this county that does not know that
Mr.. o. Fogy keeps store here, and sells
everything from tooth-pick to Gre
clan Bend? If so, why advertise p
That's the question y
"Who can resolve the doubt
That tears my anxious breast?'
FURTHER HEARING OF NoLAN-The
mulatto, Philip Nolan, the suspected
murderer of Thomas, near North East,
recently, had further hearing before
Esquire Benjamin, on Wednesday, the
9Th instant, in the Good Tcmplars
Hall, at said town. No new facts were
elected in the case and nothing what
ever proven to fasten guilt on the pris-
oner The Justice committed him for
trial. Biddle for State, and Wilson for
Defendant.
MUsIcAL-Miss Lizzie Reedy, OF
Milford, Del, who has been on visit
here for some days past, by special re-
quest sang a solo with fine effect, at the
close of the sermon by the Pastor of the
NJ. Z. Church, last Sunday night. The
piece sung was "The Three Calls"
RELIGIoUs-The fourth Quarterly
Meeting of this Conference year will be
held at the NJ. f. Church, in North
East, on Sunday, the 18th instant
The Presiding Elder, James Cunning
ham, will preach in the evening, at I
O'clock
