WHAT Is IT?

Much has been written about Church
Fairs and there is now strong and grow
ing opposition to them in the Christian
world on account of the "small vices" that
almost always accompany them, but what
shall we say of Christian Church that
shall invite the cooperation of liquor deal
ers in raising money for-"'The Glory of
God 2"
Have the latest and most fashionable
editions of the Bible omitted the text,
"Accursed is he that putteth the bottle to
his neighbours lips" and inserted, Blessed
is he that shall raise money for "Church
Fairs
The recent action of one of our influen-
tial bodies seems to imply such construc-
ton; and we hope for the honor of the
Christian name that the Church will open
ly disavow any official sanction of disgrace
full alliance, else she will probably stand
convicted in the minds of many believers,
as having sold herself to do evil in the sight
of God.

ElktOn Academy.-The examinations on
the Goth and 21st of December were cred
itably sustained by the scholars, but very
meagerly attended by parents and others.
This was no doubt owing, for the most
part, to concurrence of circumstances
quite unusual.
1t is hoped that future occasions of the
kind may receive the attention due to their
important bearing on the cause of educa
ton.
An elegant edition of Shakespeare, and
"Casket of Gems" from the best poets,
were awarded as prizes to Miss Florence
Mcfarland and to Miss Mary Terrell for
excellence in comparative examinations in
reading.
Master Edmund Brown also received a
handsome volume as prize for the great
est improvement in writing.
The teachers were agreeably surprised
by the donation of a splendid Gold Pen to
Prof. Blake, and of an elegant Photograph
Album to the Principal, from the pupils.

The Directors of the National Bank of
Elkton, on Tuesday last, declared dividend
of per cent. ON the stock for the last six
months.
VIM. J. Jones, Esq, has built glass
house, but being of nervous, excitable
temperament, remembered the old adage
and declined living in it. The house has
been fitted up for flowers and green plants,
which contrast through the windows with
the white-robed earth, like January and
May.
Our streets have been gay this week with
flying sleighs, and jingling bells and happy
hearts and pretty girls, whose rubies are a
constant protest against bachelorhood, and
which increasingly proclaim in their mute
eloquence " if you dare, if you dare ~
The bank house of the National Bank of
Elkton, has been remodeled and changed
in its internal arrangement, affording addi-
tional light and room to the officers. The
per cents remain unchaged.
