For The Cecil Wing
WOODLAND CAMP MEETING.

Having attended the meeting from it's
myself more capable Of Judging it's merits
than those who came and stayed but day
IT'S not my intention to say over again
what has already been published, only that
the meeting was grand success in the
conversion of sinners and sanctficaton of
believers.
In relation to it's management there
might have been exceptions, but when it is
known that a Board of Managers had the
control of the meeting and dictated the
rules to be observed and all matters per-
tanning to the conducting of the meeting,
the cause will be apparent. If there was
anything wrong or against the interest of
the meeting, let it rest on the Board of
Managers and not on the presiding officer.
There were some things we thought might
have been bettered. First, as rule, nom
ing and evening prayer in every tent at
a given time, that all might have been
brought in under its influence. Secondly,
those having the keys to the gates should
have been little more accommodating to
ent-holders especially on the last night,
and should not have showed SO much
independence. Third, the hogs should not
have been turned in upon us to get into
our kneading throughs; or if SO, the Com
mittee should have given notice and We
would have taken our dogs.
A TENT HOLDER.
1--WE found no fault with any person con-
nected with the meeting. There was no
reference to any ones spiritual attachments
or intellectual abilities; we simply stated
what we believed, and still beieve-was
the one thing needful to make that or any
other camp meeting, success. Preachers
and laymen connected with the enterprise
are giving their time and money gra-
tuitously, and are entitled to the thanks of
all Christians for their efforts.

A NEW IDEA.

1t is nothing common for people to doubt
the truth of advertising; but we prove our

Lists by mail to any one who will write for
them, or any other information.
All orders promptly filled. A full stock

Club changing positions with their oppon-
ents, Immediately took the lead and main
tanned it until darkness compelled both
clubs to bring the game to close, after
eight innings had been played. The Elk
ton Club did the best fielding, while one or
two of the Chesapeake players welded the
bat very effectively, and the rest apparently
waited until three balls would be called, and
then would be commanded by the umpire
to take their base. The score, on being
summed up, showed total of thirty five
runs for the Elkton Club and twenty four
for the Chesapeake.
The editor Of the Tyrone City pa
Herald has been out in the lumber region
near that city, and among great many
other things he tells the following about a
former citizen of Cecil:
After tramping through the woods for
some three or four hours, we struck Lewis
hollow, and made haste to the boarding
house connected with the saw mill of John
T. Fowler & Co. This boarding establish
ment is kept by Mr.. William T. Abrams,
Iuc COOhluS ucpai tmcHI Vi WHICH Is DOSSeu
in person by the gentlemanly landlord s
wife, Elizabeth, who fixed up dinner to
which trio of Adams children of the
male persuasion did justice in every partic-
ular and on short notice, because they were
hungry and made welcome by one of the
finest ladies in the valley of Bald Eagle,
who, by the way, has three or four little
children about the house, who were neat,
clean, bright, and think lawful much " of
Uncle (?) John T. Fowler. Let us here
remark before we forget it, that the father
and mother of those little fellows are
brother and sister in the eyes of the law,
yet those same eyes declare the marriage
legal, and the Supreme Ruler of matters
and things down here has certainly decided
that the arrangement was legal one, for
every one of 'em children are complete,
and will make good men and women if
they live long enough. This is the way it
happened: On the one side the father of
In few years his wife died leaving him
with a family of children. On the other
side the mother of Mrs. Abrams was mar
red when young, and in few years her
husband died, leaving her with family of
children. After some years, the widower
and widow were married and consolidated
the two sets into one family of seventeen
children, and placed them under one roof,
where they lived in peace and harmony.
In due time the eldest son of Mr., and eld-
est daughter of Mrs. Abrams executed a
matrimonial engagement, the fruits of
which gaily play in the kitchen of the
boarding house now in question.

Stolen Horse and Wagon Recovered.


On Friday last, Constable John C. HIND
man arrested at Rising Sun, a man named
Jermiah Roxburg on the charge of stealing
horse and buggy, the property of Mr..
James, livery-stable keeper at Chester, Pa.
The horse and buggy were found in the
possession of VIM. Grason, proprietor of
the Maryland House, to whom Roxburg
had sold them a short time before. An
officer from Chester, accompanied by Mr..
James, arrived in Rising Sun, on Thursday,
in response to a telegram announcing the
team was there. The thief was turned
over to them and he voluntarily went with
them, they having no authority for his
arrest in this State. The horse and wagon
were redeemed from Mr.. Grason, who had
paid but small portion of the price
agreed upon. Roxburg had hired the team,
on Wednesday, to drive a short distance
and Immediately drove off for Rising Sun,
a distance of AZ miles, where he arrived on
Thursday.-Ozford Press.

them great deal of amusement. Reed
birds likewise are very plentiful, but are
rather in a poor condition as yet. The
rail birds, the most sought after, have also
made their appearance, but will not be
