Dedication of Harris M. F.. Church.

Dedication of Harris NJ. E. Church.-A
correspondent sends us the following &C
count of the ceremonies at the dedication
of Harris NJ. E. Church, in Elk Neck:
Sunday, Nov. 18th, 1870, witnessed one
of the most interesting ceremonies ever
held in this community. The morning was
clear and beautiful, but not less clear and
beautiful was the spirit of God manifested
on that occasion. The Revs. Plummer, of
Grace Church, Wilmington, Poulson Hous
ton, Shippers, and Tull were the officiating
Ministers. The morning services were
opened by an able and appropriate sermon
by Rev. Poulson, at the conclusion Of
which seven hundred dollars were raised,
so that the church was dedicated out of
debt. In the afternoon Rev. Plummer
preached 4 powerful and appropriate ser
mon, when the subscriptions were again
taken to pay the Minister'S salary. AT
night Rev. Houston preached, at the con-
clusion Of which other collections were
made, amounting in all to near nine hun
dred dollars, paying the entire church debt,
and Minister'S salary, for the present year.
Well may the people Of old Harris be
proud, commencing under the most dis
couraging circumstances, and ending so
happily. Verify the Lord is with His
people.
Next week history of the church, from
tie beginning to November 18th, will be

Suspended WOrk.-Work was suspended
on the new Jail this week, till Spring. The
walls of the Jail and Sheriff's house art
raised to the first floor, the iron iosts laid
on the former, and the yard wall in state
of considerable advancement We believe
it is expected to have the structure COM
pleted by the end of next Summer. Judg-
ing from the appearance of the foundations
when the prison is completed there will be
no chance of escape from its gloomy walls.
"Who enters here leaves hope behind, I"
would be an appropriate inscription to place
on its granite walls.

Arrest Of Thieyes.-Mr. C. II. Danfortb.
Agent for l1owe's sewing machines, in this
county, had about $65 dollars worth of
sewing silk, machine needles and other
articles, belonging to sewing machines,
stolen at the Maryland House, Rising Sun,
on FRIDAY night, 18th inst. A very hand
some coverlet, the property of the proprie-
tor OF the hotel, was also carried off at the
same time. The two men who committed
the larceny were pair of travelling vaga
bonds, whom Mr.. Konigmache had allowed
room to lodge in at the hotel. The box
of silk and implements belonging to Mr..
DanfOrth were left in the room and the
dodgers in the night taking the box and
coverlet, made their exit through the win
dow. Mr.. D. the next morning called in
Constable Hindman, and after getting on
the track of the robbers, which they did
by finding some of the contents of the
stolen box under the bridge near Haines'
Mill, they pushed on a mile over the Penn
sylVanla line, where the parties were over
taken In store. They had traded some
oi the goods to the stoi ekeeper for trifle,
and who by his actions proved to be but
little II any better than the tramps found
in his store. Being beyond the Constable's
jurisdiction, he was powerless in an official
capacity, and the thieves refused to 90 with
their captors, but Danforth being a stout
and resolute man, laid hold of ON, of the
fellows and handled him SO roughly that
he thought the best course was to march
back. AS soon as the line was crossed.
Constable IIindman stepped up and arrested
the parties. They were taken before JUS
tice Taylor, who committed them, and they
are now in Jail.
Mr.. Danforth recovered only about SIS
worth of the property stolen, the fellows
having thrown most of the needles, tuck
ers, etc, which the box contained, away
The silk which was on spoo,s was secreted
in the lining of their coats.

Young Peoples AssOciatiOn-The Young
Peoples Association met on Friday even
ing the 18th, in the NJ. f. Church. Although
the programme was defective in point
of music-which, however, was not the
fault of the Committee-the entertainment
provided proved real treat to the audience
assembled. An interesting lecture on
"BREAD" was read by W. P. Ewing, Esq,
a few of the principal points Of which fol-
low:
Bread is the great want of man, to sat
isfy which lie employs all his energies and
willingly resign even liberty itself-like
the Israelites of old, choosing Egyptian
bondage, with food supplied, rather than
freedom with probable starvation. Oftimes
the commission OF crime may he traced
more directly to the want of bread than to
the possession OF an evil nature. The suf-
ferings of hunger were shown to be so
torturing that we readily accept the state
ment that the virtues Of those who most
pride themselves on responsibility and
honesty, would not stand, when brought
face to face with Famine. After picturing
the utter restitution of those without the
means of procuring bread, the evils of
gluttony and extravaganza were portrayed,
and the prayer of Agur for "neither pow
erty nor riches" commended. The lee
turer stated that were the moneyed wealth
of the United States equally divided, each
man, woman, and child would tomorrow
possess a capital of 100000, but such a
division would not effect an equality of
wealth, since all men are not alike provi-
dent. Lastly, the results of bad bread
were shown. Those who eat sour, indi-
gestible bread, become sour, disagreeable
companions, &c, &c.
The lecture was followed by an essay by
r. Haines, Esq. "Lalla Rookh" was his
chosen subject. In fact, his remarks par
took more of the nature of review than
accomplishing brief sketch of
the life of Thomas Moore, the author, with
explanations of the poem and quotations
therefrom. Mr. II. handled his subject
in mastery manner, and his efforts were
highly appreciated.

New Bridge.-The contract for building
new bridge over the creek in Elkton, in

last by the County Commissioners to Mr.

Iron Bridge Company, for $500. The
span will be 1O6 feet, and 1G feet from out
to out, the structure to be of wrought iron,
and to be completed by December 18TH
For putting in draw, Mr.. Finley estimated
the cost would be $500 additional, for
which sum he said it could be done at any
future time.
There were two other bids for the con-
tract, the highest being only 500 above
that for which the work was awarded.
