LETTER. fNOM
Mr. little = 1t is singing coldto-day,
and for the first time this very cold
Winter, the Ciceronian Institute has
had to succumb to the frigidity Of the
weather. The piercing Boreas rendered
it impossible to warm the room COM
tortably, hence, to the great joy OF the
boys holiday for the day. We try 1t
again tomorrow. had hoped the win
ter was broke but that everlasting
ground hog too truly told the tale
That Faro varmint, that wrote you
of. has pamoosed from about mere 70
narts unknown. The thing found Out
i was unhealthy for it, for the man VINO
a sharp stick. Glad of it, nope Pc ne is.
did not stop at Shepherdsto%,n. ne Is
u a;a,h hU Sick and genteel in his looks.
told Won the man who said Charles
WV '.a: 6nished, made huge mistake,
Hsrs is the evidence. Why IN this the
Winner of our discomfort, there are
Wv lass than three new dwelling houses
i'od' 49, contract and in progress OF cree
,;nn ord some are being repaired. MS
80 ,ba p,m of our mechanics, rs well
a"I ,%e future demand-and at this writ
;ng two of the influential citizens are
lad aI2 seeking information as to the
,"nrLipo Of a car factory, looking to the
,stahlishnent of something OF the kind
hare This all means business and the
Lopetul predict something will come out
nfit should have mentioned i'll my
last an addition is being made to the
Jail, bv which the new one will cover
the whole line OF the old one Oh Main
st. 1t will in measure obscure from
view the iron grated cells. 1t is intend
ed for Sheriff offices, and no other
County officials, | learn.
Well while we can report progress IN
physics, trust we can or will be able
to do 50 in grace and morals. Senator
Grautham has got his new license bill
on the liquor traffic on the calendar III
the Senate, and may get 1t through ana
the assurance is given out 1t wont be
Bufchered in the House. 1t seems to
be the impression that the County Court
won't be as generous as the SuperIi-
sors, and might stop some OF the super
tiuous frs-water fountains, Last but
not least,a cause of great hope for good,
is. that Bro Rosser who has promised
10 visit us in May, will be instrumental
in stirring up the lukewarm; retaining
the back-sli6ers and in the conversion
of many sinners of all grades. To all
of these say with the old brother who
was somewhat under restraint, LINEN
at 4 venture.
lou will be comparatively close to
two of the three Methodist conferences
which meet on Wednesday the 9TH OF
March. I'm the NJ f. Church. The
Baltimore Conference meets at Hagers-
,own. and the Central Pennsylvania
meets at Chambersburg, whilst the Bal
,imore Conference NJ. +. Church South,
meets on the same day in Baltimore.
There will be quite gathering OF the
Methodist Clergy, not short OF five hun
dred, all told. twenty-five years ago,
when | lived at Shepherdstown, gen
tleman of my acquaintance, attended
the old Baltimore Conference at la
rerstown, which then comprehended the
preachers of the three above named,a and
all of their territory The old hive has
swarmed and largely increased. The
MethodistS were then connected with
the Baltimore Conference, NJ. +. Church
South. The Rev. Mr.. Wade, the VOL
thy representative of this Conference,
will doubtless return, as he is highly
thought of in aud out of his church. l
have not heard the slightest exception
maze to him. He is genial christian
gentleman and an excellent preacher.
AS with YOU, so with us, death has
not been idle. Mr.. Sheets reputed to
he % or 4, died on Sunday. Miss Fan
ME Locke a young lady Of great moral
worth, of lovely character, faithful
and true friend of Jesus and his cause,
passed peacefully from earth and was
buried ON Saturday. Her aged mother,
Mrs Rachel Locke, widow Of the late
VIM. French Locke, at this present Is
living in a very critical condition, having
been taken i'll the evening of the day OF
her daughters burial. May she be spar
ed. Thus all ages and conditions OF life
here must in the end obey.
