Sacred COncerts.-We are requested to
announce that MI. Philip Philips, of New
York, will visit our county and give a
series of Concerts from his Sacred Songs,
as follows: at the West Nottingham Pres
byterian Church, on Wednesday evening,
the 9th inst; at Zion Presbyterian Church,
on Thursday evening the 2Sth inst; and at
Elkton, in the Odd Fellows Hall, on Friday
evening, the Goth inst. Mr.. Philips is
singer of more than national reputation,
and gives the proceeds of these concerts
for the benefit Of the Sunday School cause
in Maryland:
From the Chicago Republican.
Philip Philips Concert last evening, was
one Of the most delightful entertainments
of the kind we have ever had the privilege
of attending. No man can hear Mr.. Philips
sing without being not only entertained,
but made better, as there is not only music
but gospel in what he sings.
Oath Of LOyalty.-The following is a
copy of an old certificate, written on parch-
ment, which was picked up among some
old papers by Mr.. James McCauley. We
have no doubt the tories of 1880 thought
themselves as sorely oppressed by the rev.
dictionary patriots as the poor Democratic
tories of 1868 who were found assisting the
slave rebellion and were dealt with in a
similar manner:
