initiates the currency, but protracts indef-
nitely the time for returning to specie

God bless you, boys of d toy,
Though distant, still to memory dear,
The mystic tie once binding me
Still holds me like Gordon knot,
To friends who meier can be forgot,
Though life be joyous or be drear
God bless you, friends long to see.
God bless the much.loyed D-to-Y;
A wanderer in a stranger land
Her signet raised up friends for me;
Upon my breast her sign | wore,
Within my heart her tenets bore;
They gave to me the friendly hand
fthose who know the letter &C.
God bless the honored D.to.V,
| long to tread her halls once more,
long her brotherhood to see lhand,
And grasp each kindly outstretched
i long to hear her anthems grand,
And in the chorus as Of yore
Add my voice 10 its melody.
God bless you, boys of D-to-V
When you around the altar stand,
On St j. hn's anniversary,
pray that you will not forget
Though absent, that love you yet
As brothers Of the mystic band,
And keep room in your hearts for me.

apparent that a commendable degree of pros
perity has attended the labors Of the ministry
within the bounds of the Chassis. A call from
the English Reformed Church, Frederick

mittee was appointed TO install him. Rev. d.
W. Kelly, of Shamokin, Pa. will soon be in
stalled as pastor over the Manchester charge.

of Rev. Father Hoffmeier will be speedily
filed. An interesting service Of the Com.
munion Of the Lords Supper was held on Sun

very able sermon, and very large number
Of communicates partook Of the mystical ele-
ments Of the Saviour's Body and Blood.

meeting was held, ut which addresses were
made by Revs. L. X. Eschbach, Of Baltimore,
+. A. Ripley, of Middletown, and NJ. Trei-
Der, of Washington, d. c. The Importance
of the subject Of missions was strongly empha.
sized by oil the speakers, and greater ac-
tiviiy in this department Of christian work
was forcibly impressed upon the minds Of all
present.
A very interesting Sunday School meeting
was held on Monday night, presided over by
Elder g. s. Griffith, Of Baltimore. Addresses
were made by Rev. E. r. Eschbach, Of Bal.
timore, Rev. j. s. Kiefer, Of Hagerstown,

Mr.. David Witmore and son, II years of
age, Of Hunting Creek, Frederick county.

in an open buggy, and when returning home,
the horse from some cause took fright and
ran OF. The young man was thrown from the
seat and fell between the body and the wheel.
his foot became fastened in the spring, and
before Mr. W. who had caught hold of the
lines when the boy fell, could stop the horse,
the boy had been dragged forty or fifty yards.
The young man was terribly cut and bruised
about the head and body, and was, at first,
supposed TO be dead, but upon being removed
TO the nearest house it was found otherwise.
A spring wagon was procured and bed made
in 1t, and he was taken to his fathers resi-.
