Tribute of Respect.

At meeting of the Vestry and Wardens
of Trinity Church, Elkton, Md, held May
Gath, 1869, the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God,
in His infinite wisdom and mercy, to call to
his rest our venerable and beloved Rector,
the Rev. r. H. B. Mitchell; therefore
Resolred, That we do heartily thank our
Heavenly Father for the long and eminently
nseful life of this man of God, and that he
has ended his days in his own most holy
faith and fear, having the testimony Of a
good conscience and the certain hope of
eternal life.
Resolred, That in the death of the Rev.
r. II. B. Mitchell, the Church has sustained
the loss of an able and devoted Minister
who was permitted to labor long in his
Masters vineyard, and to lay up rich
garner in Heaven as the fruits OF his toll.
Resolued, That whilst we do earnestly
sympathize with his family in their grief,
we realize that their loss is his inestimable
gain.
Resolred, That as mark of respect for
the memory of the deceased this Church
be draped in mourning and its Vestrymen
and Wardens wear Grape on their left arm
for thirty days.
RESOLVED, That the Secretary be directed
to present to the family of the deceased a
copy of these resolutions, and to furnish
our county and Church papers with copies
for publication. r. G. REESE, Sec'y.

1t will be seen that our estimate Of mon

needed, fall short SIS, 662.
With these figures before us, the COM
mittee would not feel itself justified in ask
ing for levy of less than 20 cents on the

ises are clearly to execute-not to make
laws. II the people want schools, the peo-
pie must pay to support them. If they
want even greater facilities for the educa-

the taxation necessary to obtain them.

ATOUGH STORY.
Lizard I'm q Mans Stomach-It Dies
and Is Elected.
From the Cairo Cnl.) Bulletin.

From the Cairo (nl.) Bulletin.
During the war, a gentleman, now of
this city, was connected with the army in
South Carolina. He lad long and ex-
hausting marches tc make, and for drink
ing water was compelled to resort to the
swamps and ponds found along the route.
1t was customarily to hurriedly dip mp a
cupfull as the column moved on, without
leaving the line, and to gulp it down as
they moved forward. Time passed, and
the gentleman of whom we speak fell sick.
He was troubled with an irritabilty of the
stomach, for which physicians could find no
remedy. The war closed, and his complaint
become more end more aggravating. 1t was
with difficulty the most toothsome morsel
could be retained in the stomach. He
consulted o number of physicians. who
prescribed sundry and varied remedies, but
they all failed to effect IT, desired cure. Mat
tiers continued thus until the gentleman
made up his mind that there was no cure
for him, and that the only thing that re-
manned for him was to continue the use of
such medicines as afforded hiil tho most
relief, and thus smooth hls way to the
grave. One morning he was walking in
the garden. and being tempted by the ap-
pearance o. a cluster of red currants, he
yielded to inclination, and swallowed as
much as \ small handful of them.
He had no sooner done so than he felt
that he had cause for regretting his
rashness. An unusual retching followed, and
in few seconds he vomited up the cur
rants, and with them the dead body OF a
red lizard, fully six inches long He had,
no doubt, drank this lizard when it was
very small, in the South Carolina swamp
water. 1t had been nurtured for months
in his stomach, and grown to the monster
it WIS when elected. 1t had probably.
been killed by something taken into the
stomach, and the decomposition of the
body having commenced, created nausea
of stomach that enabled him to throw it
up. One side of its head and portion of
its tail bad decayed, but otherwise it was
whole, well formed, and undsniably lizard.
This is the first lizard story of this nature
of which We ever heard, and, being thor
oughly satisfied of its truth, We put it on
record.
