The Baltimore Prcsbytery

The Baltimore Presbytcry of the Presby-
terrain Church. we learn from reliable
source, viii meet at Emmitsburg, in this
county, on Tuesday, the 1st day of next
October, and continue In session for prob
ably week or more There will be some
40 or so clergymen present, together with
a number OF lay delegates and strangers
who will attend the sessions of this inter
esting assembly. The Lutheran Synod of
Maryland met at Emmitsburg few years
ago and we are told the members of that
dciberative body were delighted with the
hospitality and Kindness extended to them
by the people of our neighboring village
Emmitsburg people have reputation
for kindness to strangers and being fixed liz
their religious opinions, and liberal and toll
Grant in their views.
One of the oldest Presbyterian churches
established in this country was built n.aH
Emmitsburg in the days of William Penn
and Lord Baltimore, and it was question:
for some time whether it belonged to the
jurisdiction of Maryland or Pennsylvania
but the establishment of Mason's ana
Dixons Line settled the point, and to Penn
sylvania was awarded the honor. This in

Church of America. The Rev. Samuel Nc
Clean, a very Jealous, liberal and patriotic:
clergyman, if we are correctly informed,
was the Pastor for many years of this
church and congregation; and in his day
often preached near Emmitsburg.
On this occaeion - the meeting of the
Presbytery-we apprehend our felow-citi-

PorAroEs.-Th highly esteemed,

PoTAToEs.-This highly esteemed,
cultivated and now almost universally
used vegetable deserves preservation
and improvement on our soil, when
ever it can be successfully introduced.
The so-called Irish Potato is we be-
lieye native Of South America,
found originally in Chile or Peru. 1t
was introduced into England many
years ago by Sir Walter Raleigh or
Admiral Drake, and from there trans
planted into Ireland, where it grew
to be not only delicious but the ia
vorite esculent of the Emerald Isle
AS the root was not known or did not
araive in time to receive the blessing
of st. Patrick, we think the extraor-
binary growth and cultivation of the
potato on Irish soil, must have been
owing to the peculiarly fine climate
and the influence of the soft breezes
of the sea on the plant. Irish pea

Pic Nc AT SABILLAsvILLE.-The
| Sabbath School Pic Mic at Sabillas-
Vile, on the 10th instant, was some
what intertered with on account OF
inclement weather. Every prepare
ton was made to make the occasion
pleasant and an agreeable one, ,bnt
the threatening aspect of the weather
prevented it. Some inquired every
now and then, what do you think of
the weather? Rather squally, ism t
it, for a Pic Mic. Consultations were
held to postpone it until some other
day ; and after having arrived at such
conclusion, the whole village was
suddenly electrified by music from the
Fairfield Brass Band. This infused
new ardor and a determination to go
forward. Instead of going to the
grove, all went to the church, where
the exercises were held to the gratlfi-
cation of all present. Short addresses
were delivered by Revs. Howe, Gilds,
Funk, and Elders Creager and Kemp.
! The baskets, what a pity, they were
not unpacked-returned full.
UTICA JuBILEE.-The Utica Sab
bath School conceived the idea Of
holding a Jub ee, Oh the 9TH instant,
in Mr. Hills grove, and to further
the interest of the occasion, extended
an invitation to all the Sabbath
Schools around to Join in the festivi-
ties - this invitation was responded
to by five schools. The day was fav-
orable to realize every expectation,
though rather warm in the afternoon
We may say truly it was a grand
success. There were present on this
occasion, probably, over sixteen hun
dred persons - it reminded one of a
camp-meeting, minus the tents. The
exercises consisted in singing by the
schools, music by the Lewstown
Brass Band, and seven addresses, ust
five too many for such an OCCASION
The young people don't care much
for speeches, they come for enjoy
ments better suited, at least, they
think so, to their taste - lots of fun
is the idea. The addresses were de-
livered by Revs. DR.. Ward, Reads,
Kremer, Gilds, Evers, Summers and
Thomas and Elder Creager. The first
address was the leading address, and
every expectation was realized in the
subject matter discussed: What is
the glory Of the present age All
seemed TO be we'll pleased, and some
We're in ectacies on the Jubilee success.
