4 Poacerful Sermon. that last
Sabbath was the last quarterly meeting &C.
casion for the year, in the North East n.
f. Church, We awaited ourselves of the OPP
portunlty of being present, the Presiding
Elder, REV. Curtis) was present, who
preached one Of the best sermons that ever
graced the North East NJ. E. Pulpit. His
text was 1: 10 of General Epistle of James:
" Blessed is the man that endureth tempta
ton: for when he is tried, he shall receive
the crown of life, which the Lord hath
promised them that love him. His re-
marks were brief but to the point, language
simple, and reasoning SO cogent that "a
wayfareing man though a fool" could not
fail to be edited. His quotations from
the Old and New Testament in regard
to the various temptations and their effect
upon Job, David and Potter, did hot fail to
make lasting impression upon the minds
of at least portion of his many attentive
hearers.
Injury to a Dam.-We understand the
late ice flood swept out about 1a0 feet of
the Mccullough Iron Co.'S North East
rolling mill dam. We further learn that
the breach is we'll nigh completion, being
rapidly pushed forward by their energetic
manager of that place.
Thoughts for the Thoughyul.-With much
interest We read the article which appeared
in last weeks Wing, under the heading
Thoughts for the Thoughtful" They
reflect much credit on the writer for the
interest he manifests in the publication of
the names of the signers of petitions, for
the sale of rum, for they are the principal
hackers of the whisky ring in Cecil county.

they take they see the ice move and the
water commence to rise in the street, and
they forthwith fash the news to their
