ZION ITEMS.

tSch0ols. NJ. Il. Sunday School was
organized on last Sunday morning, with its
usual corps of teachers and pupils. Mr..
and Mrs. S. b. Ford were elected Superin-
tendents. 1t is rather singular how soon
the boys grow beyond Sunday schools, in
this civilized age. An attempt was made
to institute a Singing School in our midst,
on last Wednesday cvcnng-under whose
auspices Pm unable to say. The enter
prise was not very successful, but u little
perseverance may Ultimately accomp lish
great things. There seems to be great
diversity of opinion among the members of
the class, and we are led to suppose, conse-
quently, that music has lost its "power to
soothe the savage breast The summer
term of our Public School opened on last
Thursday, under the management of its
former teacher, and with its usual large
attendance.
DeaM.-Mrs. George Smith, formerly of
kittannng, but for 4 number Of years a
resident of Cecil, died on Monday morning
asst, after short but painful illness. She
was inferred at Zion, Wednesday afternoon.
Services conducted by Mr.. Russell.
Lecture.-A Lecture by Rev. T. L. Poulson
is to be delivered, in the NJ. E. Church, in
this place, on the evening of May Bird.
Subject: "Daniel in Babylon" Admission,
25 cents. The proceeds are for the benefit
of the parsonage.
Ground Work.-The yards around us
are beginning to assume quite pleasant
appearance. Among others we notice the
one surrounding the parsonage, which gives
ample evidence of the taste of designer
Our roads have had slight nending, but
as yet it's good effects are not visible
Everywhere, we notice corn planting in
some of its stages, in spite of the excessive
dryness of the weather, farmers seem
determined to proceed with it.
Religtous.-Rev. Poulson continued his
discourse on the miracle of the loaves and
fishes, commenced two weeks previous, on
Sunday. Two weeks from that day he
delivers a sermon to the children, which,
presume, will be equally profitable to
children of larger growth. Rev. Sullivan
preached his initiatory sermon at Bay View,
on April 10th. Rev. Johns has been absent
for some days, attending Presbytery.

FOURTH DISTRICT ITEMS.

Religious.-On Sunday week last Rev.
T. L. Poulson preached at ST. Johns to
full house, as usual. Having taken several
verses for text, he but partially discussed
his subject, reserving the completion for
his next sermon. His discussion of tenn
perance was truly eloquent, and his illus
trations to the point.
Improvement Considerable underdrain-
ing and clearing out of fence rows and
removing rocks and stone from the farm
land, has been done, this spring, by num-
Der Of our farmers making such places
look fifty per cent. better. The old Fourth
may in time, with more of the same work,
begin to look little like it does out about
the Rising Sun and Zion.
Married.-On Wednesday, the 10th inst,
in Elkton, David Heiner and Hannah
Harrigan, both of Rockville, this District.
