The Ground Bone now manufactured

The Ground Bone now manufactured by
us, is finer than that made previous to last
Spring, and we believe it sufficiently fine
to meet the views and requirements of
most farmers.
We recommend our Ground Bone, not
only for the Wheat but also as a fertilizer
without a superior for the succeeding grass
crops.
Our mill is continually open to public
inspection, and we cordially invite all in
terested in the use of fertilizers to call and
thoroughly examine our works, and satisfy
themselves that we furnish a uniform
article without admixture of any kind.
Sample sent by mail upon application.

Henry Cope & Co.-Gentlemen-Tho Though
l have not been in the practice of giving
certificates to those who manufacture the
Phosphates which have used, yet feel
that it is due to Henry Cope & Co., to say
that of the different Phosphates that l have
tried, and the various tests which have
made, Cope's Phosphate was far superior
to any. Some other brands could not be
induced to use at half the price they sell,
for the only good wheat l had this year
was where l used Cope's Bone Phosphate.
On grass it pays we'll. For corn last year
| was much pleased, and in fact on every
crop used am confident that I was well
remunerated. And SO long as your estab-
lshment is open for the inspection of the
public, and your Phosphate continues to
make two blades of grass to grow where
but one grew before. shall never use any
other except by the way of test.
Yours truly, JESSE G. DIcKEY.

RESOLUTION OF CONFIDENCE.

At a meeting of the employees of the
Mccullough Iron Co., at their works, at
Westamwell, near Elkton, ON the Gath day
of September, 1872, the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That we have heard with sor-
row and regret of the recent boiler explo-
sion at the works of the Company at North
East resulting in the death of three valu-
able ctizens-the deepest affliction to their
families and gloom and sadness to the
community; that we extend to the relations
of the deceased our heartfelt sympathy and
commend to the Company the wive and
children of those who have suddenly been
deprived of their support, upon whose
humanity and guardian care we have no
fear but they may contidentially rely.
Resolred, That the investigation into
the cause of the explosion, have not in our
Judgment revealed or discovered any fact
or circumstance in any degree disturbing
the mistaken confidence we have always
had in the Company, its members and
officers. both as regards their skill in the
management of their business and their
desire to protect the lives, safety, and
health of their employees; nor do we be-
lieve that they or any of them, have in this
instance been wanting in proper diligence
skill, and care in guarding, SO far as has
been in their power, against so sad a result.

med one continued day of quiet content


ment and happiness.
He received a good salary and was, out
side of that independent in worldly goods,
so he was generally regarded as one of the
happiest as well as best of men. During
his stay not thing transpired to mar his
relations with his congregation, and when
| in the early Spring of this year he sudden
ly announced that he would sever his con
| nection with them at an early day, blank
establishment filled their countenances. and
they looked from one to another for an
explanation of his reasons for this unex-
pected and immediate departure. He
was entreated to consider his determine
ton and remain, but he refused, and with
out any then apparent cause he began at
once preparations for departure, and soon
after, amid the protestations and heartfelt
desires of his congregation, he left for
Randallstown, Baltimore county, where he
became the pastor of small congrega-
tion.''
The reporter then goes on to relate sub
stantially the same facts that were pub
lished in The Wing two weeks ago, with
some additional facts gathered from his
interview with Maria.
The two jealous friends of Mr.. Mathews
who were so extremely anxious to have the
Grand Jury indict us for libel, professed to
believe that we showed amalicious intent in
the simple narrative of facts published in
The Wig the Saturday before; but moth
ing except an excited imagination could
possibly construe statement SO entirely
void of prejudice or bias into malicious
intent The most disinterested people in
the town, as we'll as the most candid and
charitable believed the story of the girl.
Those whose knowledge of her character
gave weight to the opinions, credited every
word she told. With this cloud of witness
es before us we had no apprehension that
any would have the unfairness to accuse
us of publishing a statement containing
malice.
Before Mr.. Mathews removed from Elk
ton last Spring, Maria's mother suspected
that all was not right with her daughter,
and had physician to examine her. The
examination took place at Mr.. Mathews
house, and the physician pronounced the
girl snceinte. With his suspicious thus
family to Baltimore county? Why per-
sist in not believing what others could see
so plainly; and finally when disbelief was no
longer possible, why did Mr.. Mathews take
the girl to Baltimore, and turn her loose,
as it were, in the street, when his most
obvious duty was to accompany her to the
depot and see that she started for home,
and apprise her friends by letter that she
was coming home9 When asked this ques-
ton, Mr.. Mathews could not answer. Who
can answer these questions satisfactorily ?
Mr.. Mathews did not appear before the
Presbytery, which assembled at Newark,
Del, this week, but sent letter, the purport
of which we did not learn. A committee
was appointed by the Presbytery to in
vestigate his case, composed of Rev. Nr,
Johns, of Zion, Rev. Mr.. Valandigham, of
Newark, Del, and DR.. J. PatteD, of
Middleton, Del.
