can say that there the cause CT Christ
is moving onward.
The United Brethren in Christ have
q beautiful and substantial church
erected along the Western slope Of a
little mountain, which is in Frederick
Circuit. The Quarterly Conference
convened there on the "a instant, and
the meeting has been protracted: -
Some have found peace in Christ,

LAUREL.
A NOVEL Bet - We understand
that Messrs. Abraham S. Gents and
Charles E. Cassell, both of this Dis
trict, made bet on the Presidential
question to the following effect :: If
Greeley obtained more than 5000
votes majority in Maryland, then Mr..
Gents was to wheel a wheelbarrow
from Mechanicstown to Graceham and
back again to this place but if he
failed to obtain 5000 majority, then
Mr.. Cassell was to perform the same
task. AS Mr. Greeley has not come
up to water mark, Mr.. Cassell loses
and will have to perform his part Of
the wager-that is, wheel the wheel
barrow from here to Graceham and
back again. MIR. G. is young, vigor-
Gus and good looking, we think there
fore he can stand it; and the first fair
day next week he will undertake the
job.
