SABBATH SCHOOL ANSIvERsARY.--Th 2lth
Anniversary of the Methodist Protestant Sun
day School, which was celebrated in the VI.
P. Church Of this place, ON Sunday evening
last, May Sd, was interesting in every partic.
ular, and was also decided success. The
sweet singing by the school was led by Mr..
I. ii. Lewis, aud accompanied by Miss En-.
ma lingling on the organ. The exercises
consisted OF singing by the school, prayer by
Rev. DIR. Ward, addresses by Rev. Mr.. Cush
ing and Mr. L. II. Lewis and an election Of
officers for the coming year, Of the School,
and the Sunday School Association connected
herewith. Alter several beautiful choruses
by the School, the orator of the evening, Mr.
L. II. Lewis was introduced. Mr.. Lewis dis.
eoursed for some time upon the subject Of
Sunday Schools, in an eloquent manner which
held the attention of his large audience thro'.
out. The election Of officers and reading of
the list of members by Mr.. Frank Herr, fol.
lowed the address, after which an opportunity
was given TO persons in the congregation to
connect themselves with the Association.
Rev. Mr.. Gushing, pastor OF the Church. then
made few remarks, after which tho school
sang several other beautiful selections, which
with oil due credit to Miss Emma Yingling,
organist, and Mr.. Lewis, leader of the school.
they sang in an attractive manner, keeping
perfect time and singingin unison throughout.
The congregation were then dismissed with
benedietion by Rev. DR.. Ward, President of
the Western Maryland College. The Sunday

and the NJ. p. Church may well be satisfied
with the proofs Of the success of their labors,
as manifested at their 2ith anniversary. OF

ADDRESS BY HON, JOIN T.. SMITH.
The pupils of the several schools acquitted
themselves in nm excellent manner, and evinc.
ed that their teachers exercised great care in
their instruction. To say that the parents
and friends were delighted with the proficiency
exhibited by the children, conveys in a small
degreethe satisfaction expressed by the rounds
of applause. From the youngest to the old
est, the children showed that the care bestowed
by their teachers had resulted in producing
marked effect, The singing by the little girls,
some not over or years Of age, was greeted
by shouts of laughter and clapping Of hands.
We dislike TO discriminate, but think that
T" Notices aud Offerings ''Spirits of the
Beautiful and ''Flora's Birth Day were
decidedly the best pieces. Hon. John +.
Smiths address was couched in beautiful Ian
guage, and he appealed TO the children to
make the best use of their advantages he also
spoke TO the parents, friends and teachers,
and urged upon them the great necessity of
education.
Prof Newell aud the School Board ex.
pressed themselves in the warmest terms, and
also complimented the teachers on the great
success achieved. The Amphions furnished
the music gratuitously, as did also the Odd
Fellows the use Of the hall. We would be
pleased to see sueh exhibitions oftener.

The Norfolk District.

The following paragraph taken from the
Norfolk Day Book, shows that Gov. Kemper
and Hon. II. N. L. Hunter, did not sanction
the outrage perpetratetl upon the people Of the
Norfolk District. in defeating their as ex-
pressed at the ballot-box, in the election of
Congressman. Mr.. Platte having been clearly
and legally elected, it was bold and heinous
wrong, for the State Board of canvassers, to
intervene to defeat the verdict rendered at the
polls. The action'of Messrs Kemper and Hun
ter places them above the petty tricks and
wicked devices Of the partizan, aud commend
them to the good opinion of just men the couE-
try ever. The Day Book says:
eve iesrn that, notwithstanding it was eth
erwise announced down here, the vote around
the Board Of State Canvasscrs was anything
but unanimous 1t appears that on the propo-
sition of the amended returns Governor KEN
per. r. NJ. q. Hunter, and Mr.. Taylor voted
no, which defeated it; and on the proposition
of throwing oht the vote of Prince George
county, Governor Kelnper and r. NJ. Z. Hun
ter again votettlaos and were 'out-voted, both
strenuously opposing the proposition. and Gov
ernor Kemper going so far as to denounce the
act as illegal. and expressing the hope that
Congress would seat Mr.. P1att, who was fairly,
.honorably. and legally entitled'to the seat in
Congress.
