born in Alexandria, Va, September

exemplary member until she died. She
graduated with the highest hopors'
June 22nd, 1865. Her education com

that Providence designed her for use
ful position in the Church. She thought
she could do more good in the ministry
than elsewhere, therefore she was unit
ed in marriage to the Rev. Henry Nice,
of the Baltimore Conference, June 4th'

and appreciated in the different helds OF

Women's Temperance IN
ShepherdSt0Wn,

On Thursday night of the past week
a large attendance OF citizens assembled
in the Methodist Episcopal Church,
where the fourth temperance meeting
was held. There Numbers proved their
interest in the work before them, for the
night was dark and threatening. The
speeches were calculated to impress still
more upon the audience their direct
personal interest ip this matter. They
were short, interesting and to thepolnt
a considerable Dumber Of names were
added to the petition to the County
Court to grant no Licenses. The peo-
pie were assured that Shepherdstown
should stand upon tbs question indie
pendently of any other town in the
County, and that they would have OPP
portupity given them for voting instruc-
tiops to the Council, to refuse. all licens-
ses within the limits Of the Corporation.
The night on Friday too, was very
dark, yet good congregation assem-
bled in the Episcopal Church, where
short addresses were made, and Church
members urged to give their influence
to advancing the temperance cause, as
it was regarded as peculiarly their duty,
and if they kept silent or held back in
this move, they would necessarily injure
the cause, az well as the Church.
The last Of tbage meetings was held
on Monday night in the Lutheran
Church. The audience was larger than
on any previous occasion, and after a
few short speeches, the business Of the
meeting was proceeded with. The
names of those present, with few e1cep-
tons, were signed to the petition to the
Town Council, asking them to refuse all
licenses The Chairman of the meeting,
Rev. Mr.. Hawkins, was instructed TO
appoint, at his leisure, Committee to
act in CONCERT with Committees appoint
ed at other places in the County, whose
duty it shall be to present the memorial
from the County, asking the Court to
grant no Licenses within Jefferson
County, and who shall, if necessary, adj
vocate the petition before the Court.
After request from DR.. Andrews that
the people would remember in their
prayers the efforts i'll this same cause
that were now to be made elsewhere in
the County, the meeting adjourned after
singing praise God from whom all
blessings flow"
