A Chain Of Coincidence.-The papers
have given out, in advance, that one of the
bellies of Milford 1--WE say one-the town is
full of them will marry minister shortly.
There is a remarkable chain of coincidence
connected with the looked -for-event. The
Milford lady has an intimate lady friend in
Elkton. Both are to marry ministers of
the M. E. Church; each wanted the other
for BRIDES maid, and, without knowing it,
both fixed on the same day for their nup-
tials and both wanted the same minister to
marry them-Rev. Mr.. Pculson, of Balti
nore. The Elkton lady was ahead in
w, 1ting. however, and secured the :ninister
first The male candidates for nuptial
honors are the NJ. E. ministers of FELTON,
and Girls, feld.-iSmyrna Times.

An extra meeting has been in progress
the past week in Westminster Church,
conducted by the Pastor. Rev. Mr.. Gillard,
who has been assisted by his father. 1t
was attended with extraordinary results.
On last Sabbath eighteen persons were
united with the church. AT the commence
ment of the new year protracted meeting
was begun in the NJ. E. Church, Cecilton,
and closed after continuing three weeks,
with apparently little success.
On the 18th instant. Mrs. Jones, wife of
Edward Jones, Esq, died after prolong-
ed illness of consumption. She was a
very worthy lady, and her death was
mourned by all who knew her.
A young man, by the name of Wilson,
residing in Pond Neck, had been suffering
from consumption, and on last Sunday
death claimed him as his victim, and al
though he had arrived at the years of ma
turity, had never been inside of any place
of worship.
Tuesday and Wednesday evening of this
week the G. T., of Cecilton intend holding
festival. Some of the citizens of this
neighborhood are laboring hard for the
promotion of temperance.
An opportunity at last was offered per-
sons to procure ice, and all having ice
houses, availed themselves of the chance,
thinking perhaps it would be the only one.
The condition of the roads can be cor
rectly guessed by seeing the number of
vehicles in the blacksmith-shop yards.

FOURTH DISTRICT,

EDITOR Notwithstanding your
hostility to country Debating Clubs, your
readers may be interested in some of the
figures presented before the Jackson Club,
on the evils of intemperance. 1t was stat
ed on what had the appearance of reliable
data, that the entire cost of Intoxicating
drinks in the United States, was 5000, 000,-
600 annually, or $3.50 a head for the en-
tire population. The population of Mary
land being 7S1, 900, our proportion of that
sum would be $12, 1O5, 500 nice sum for
a poor little State like Maryland to pay.
People complain that taxes are high, that
the schools are expensive and that it costs
SO much to support the Church, but those
who drink seldom murmur at the cost OF
this monster vice. The entire State, Coun-
ty, Town and City taxation is about ST.
600, 900, not so much l believe.
There is in the State Church property
valued at $13,OO00OO, the interest on
which, at six per cent, is $780, The
cost of the ministry, all denominations,
cannot exceed 81, 100000. Now add these
various items and note the result, $7,O0O,-
600 all taxes; interest on Church property,
$7S0,G00; support of ministry, 100000;
the result is $S, $50, 900, which take from
the above $12, 105, 500, and we have s3,-
234, 500, as the excess of the cost of rum
over all our taxes, Churches, Preachers
and schools combined. The exact figures,
which l have not at hand, show the differ
ence to be near $4,o00,O00. 1t was also
estimated that the cost of tobacco to the
people of the country was $150,000,00
These two kindred evils, therefore, cost
the American people the enormous sum of
$3.50, 900 annually. In three years it
would extinguish the National Debt and
leave the people better in every point of
view. Are we nearing the beginning of
the end? ID. 5.
*We are not opposed to debating socie-
ties, but question the wisdom of the choice
of subjects sometimes made for discussion.

In the opening of the Spring we antici-
pate considerable building; some have
already commenced. Charles Perkins, our
live townsman, three houses; Jas. Alexan-

Davis, Pugh & Co. have just received an
order for thirty thousand feet of stuff for
the railroad to use between Gray's Ferry

We understand that James Roney, the

change his way of living very soop. He
will open his store next week, and will sell
best coffee at 80 cents per pound.
At Brick Meeting House, on Saturday
last, match game Of pigeon shooting
took place between the crack shots of this
place and the above, resulting in a victory
for the North casters by six birds.
The protra meeting still continues at
Charlestown, with great success, under the
charge of Rev. J. d. Kemp, who is one of
the most successful ministers that has ever
been on the circuit. He will leave the Cir
cult this Spring, with much regret by his
appoin tment friends generally, having
been on the circuit three years.

The weather has been very warm in this
section for (the month) January; in truth
it has been almost like spring.
The roads are very bad, and in truth
have been bad all winter. Some of
our friends managed to get their ice
houses partly filled; but the ice so far has
been very thin. Sleighing, fox hunting,
skating, and horse racing all seem to be on
stand still.
Our musical friends are thoroughly on
the move. The singing class that has been
in progress in this vicinity during the past
winter came to close on Wednesday night
last, at the residence Of the teacher, Mr..
S. Sentman, (Fair Hill, all the class being
present but two. The exercise began at
quarter before o'clock, and consisted of
Duets, quartettes, ETC., from the latest
music books of the day. Nine o'clock
brought the announcement that it was
time for refreshments, of course all were
agreed, and oranges and apples suffered
muchly, very; every one present seemed to
enjoy themselves, as Mr.. Sentman had
few days previous purchased a fine organ,
over which he gave the honor of presiding
to Mr.. S. T. Kimble. Mr.. and Mrs. S. did
every thing in their power to make every
one happy, and We hope we may spend
many more such pleasant evenings with
them before we all grow grey with care
and old age.
The Methodist Protestant Sunday School
held at Moore's Chapel, gave concert on
Thursday evening last. The affair was a
decided success. The singing was good;
speaking was pery good, particularly that
of the small children. We would like to
notice separately many very good things
we saw there, bat time and space will not
allow. The house was well filled; good
order reigned and every thing passed off
very quietly.

ELkTON BUILDING SOCIETY.

This excellent Society has just entered
on its seventh year. This communication
proposes to present an equitable means Of
apportioning profits to Withdrawing stock,
and at the same time Fastening the termi-
nation of the Society.
1t is very common practice with the
city societies, after a series has reached six
years, to allow members to borrow the full
value upon all shares they own, deduct the
premium and pay the interest and dues in
advance to the termination Of the series or
society, which they estimate will never ex-
ceed nine years. The borrower is dis
charged from all indebtedness to the society,
and ceases to be a member.
The advantages Of the association are
great. 1. The advance payments large
sum-are Immediately resold and releaned,
thus producing large profits in the way of
interest and premium. 2. The competition
for loans increase greatly and the premium
is consequently very naturally advanced.
Of course the same rule will apply to all
previous borrowers. In this way a just
distribution of profits to withdrawing
members, is secured upon scale that regu-
lates itself.
This association cannot in any event run
more than 40 months. l believe a careful
testing will determine that rs months will
terminate it. But start on basis of 40
months and change it from time to time
as the number diminishes and the profits
increase.
To make the plan clear give an illustra-
ton: A member having ten shares borrows
$4,000 at a premium of ten per cent-the
monthly payments thereafter, $50:
Amount Of loan, $4,000
Deduct premium, 5000.
Deduct 40 mo. dues and
interest, 500 1000
Amount realized by borrower, $1,000
Under the ten per cent withdrawal rule,
the same party would get but 1886.
If basis of SO months is adopted
making in all nine years, the premium
would be still further advanced.
1t is the belief of the writer, founded
upon the experience of many of the superb
Philadelphia societies, that the adoption of
this plan would greatly increase the premi-
ums and stimulate competition that
would not flag for long time. No change
in the law is necessary. The Directors can
act at once. They have simply to deter
mine the outside limit of the Society's du-
ration and receive the interest and dues in
advance, and discharging all indebtness of
the party. No one can deny that mutual
shorting of this Society's time will be
large gain to this impoverished community
and the adoption of some such plan will
not only work out this result, but will un-
doubtedly give instant relief to many hard
pressed members. EQUITY.
