Address of the Centennial Committeeto
the Baptists OF Maryland.

Alta general meeting OF the Baltimore Bap-
fists. hello June 29tb, alter an eloquent address
Dy Kew. Dr. Curry, it was resolved TO present
IA thank Offering to God for his WobderiuI
blessings 10 the Baptists OF the United states
during the past century, and especially to US
in Maryland.
Since l776 the population Of this country
has increased from 1000, 900 to 4O,OoO, OoO
while the Baptists have increased from zo,-
900 to /, $50, 00O; or in other words, WINE
the population now is only ten times Us great
as it was then, the number OF the Bapiists IS
seventy times as great Their growth IN
wealth, influence and social position, in the
number of substantial and elegant houses OF
worship, schools, colleges, aud theological
seminuries; in an educated ministry, the enl-
ploy lneni of the religious press, III missionary
zeal and liberality, has been almost equally
great Religious liberty, OF which they were
the first champions and the foremost adyo-
Gates, has triumphed throughout our land,
aud is rapidly advancing in all the world
In Mary land, we have grown since Ifo.
from two churches with TWO hundred aud
ninety-two members, TO forty-four churches
With five thousand seven hundred and ntty-
four members. Surely "the Lord hath done
great things for u.s." and has right 10 de-
mand from US a substantial thank Offering as
u memorial of our gratitude.
In other States, the Baptists are making
preparation for the enlarged endowment OF their
their institutions Of learning Ms their Centenni-
al thank offering. We have recently subscribed
Sl2,COO towards the endowment Of the Co
lumbar University nj Washington, 81, 600 OF
which YET remains to lie made up. This VIII
be part of our thank Offering, but is not more
required OF us2 An appropriate object pre-
sents itself. Our own Maryland mission work
is heavily embarrassed. BY the close of this
year the Board o: our Association will owe
lis Missionaries 81, 700. Several Of our Mis-
sion stations are in debt for their meeting
houses, namely; Leadenhal street, Baiti-
more, S., 0C0; Shiloh, Baltimore, 81, coo;
Woodberry near Baltimore, 81 800; West
minister, 81, 700; Frostburg, 81 '8O0. In all
about Sl4 900 are needed TO wipe off these
claims, and thus remove a crushing obstacle
10 our onward march Let this pressing duty
he our Centennial thank offering Al the
meeting referred to, about 50, 900 were sub
scribed. We want every man. woman ana
child connected with the Baptists of Maryland
to have the privilege of uniting in this offer
ing. Let all who possibly can give not less
than 81 90 each, and as much more rs graft
tude to God and duty 10 other interests may
dictate.
The subscriptions are payable in quarterly
instruments in August and November, 1875,
in February and May, 1876. To all who pay
81 90 and upwards, beautiful certificate will
be given, to be preserved as memorial of this
which will never occur again dur
ing the life time ofany of US.

Chairman OF Centennial Committee.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

GRAND MUSICAL JUBILEE. -Encourged by
the success of last year, on the 3rd and 4th
days Of August a second Grand Musical Jubi-
lee will be given on the Camp Ground, near
Mt. Airy. 1t will he conducted by Prof. G..
W. Walker, we'll known in that community
as deyotee to music and as a most successful
teacher Of the art. He will be ably supported
by a company Of two hundred singers--while
most charming feature--about twenty schools
will participate in the exercises. To make the
affair perfect success Profs Harry Sanders
and John Robinson, whose mastery rendiiions
on the organ and clarinet last year are still re-
membered, will favor the Jubilee with their
presence again. Rev. s. V. Leach has also
consented to preach a sermon on music while
other representatives from the clergy will be
on hand to give variety 20 the progromme.-
The Jubilee will be open to all free Of charge,
IA public collection only TO be taken up to
defray expenses, and all children, whether
representing schools or not, are solicited to
attend. Prof. Walker has done much to In
troduce and perfect the cultivation OF music
over quite large territory adjacent to Mt.
Airy, and every advance in this direction by
him ought to be gladly hailed and cordially
supported. We take mp the echo Of the hand
bills and say to our readers, $50 one-go all
If the weather should prove to be unfavora-
bic on the days announced, the Jubilee will
be held on the first fair days thereafter. Mr..
F. W. Dempsey will serve refreshments TO the
hungry and thirsty.

Die.
The chair then said although ii was out Of
the usual rule fol The Chair TO speak on the
subject, yet he would explain 10 the gentle
man from Washington county (Mr. Frenear)
When the gentleman from Frederick (Mr.
Ritchie) claimed the Chair should be the sole
judge of the credentials, he 1.-THE Chair had
ruled Mr.. Richie wrong. Blu. from the state
ment Of the gentleman from Washington, he
proved that presenting the credentials gives
them prima face right TO a seat until the Con-
yention, after organizing, should decide 9TH
erwise.
Mr.. Richie explained that he meant that
the Chairman of the body must be guided by
some means TO show the right to participate in
organizing The Chair then ordered the
clerk to call the =oll OF counties and Legisla-
tive districts Of Baltimore city. The Chair
was sustained by vote of the Convention.
There was considerable applause when the re-
suit was announced.
Mr.. Prettyman then moved that in the in
terest Of peace and harmony the Convention
should adjourn until P. N. This PROPOSE
ton was received with calls Of mo" 'yes,"
mot much" Order being restored, vote
was taken on the motion by counties, and re-
suited in its defeat by a vote OF CO against 40.
The roll was called by the Secretary, and re-
suited in admitting the delegation. Again
there was round Of applause on the an
nouncement of the vote.
recess was then taken till I P. NJ, the
Committee on Contested Seats being provided
with accommodations in a room at the rear Of
the stage Of the hall.
At 9.22 the Committee on Credentials en-
tered the halls with their report, having been
in session in the room behind the stage for
more than five hours. 1t is understood the
first proposition made by the Hamilton men
was to admit the eighteen uncontested dele
gates from Baltimore city, which was unani-
mously adopted. The next proposition was
to admit the whole twenty-one, which was
carried by vote OF 10 to IL.
After the above proceedings there was
long and spicy debate, in which several gen.
tlemen took off their coats on various propo-
sitions, after which the Convention on mo-
ton adjourned until 10 o'clock on Thursday.
The Convention met on Thursday and nomi-
nateds the officers whose names will be found
in our first column.

A Venerable Marksman.

An elderly man named Beckwith, residing in
one of the peninsula counties, came to this
city last Thursday on business. He brought
with him an old fashioned flint-ock rifle TO
have stock and lock put on. On the cars
he fell in conversation with a party of three
gentlemen from this city, when one of them
to test the reality of some of the extraordinary
feats of craftsmanship he boosted of, offered
him ten dollars to repeat some of them, to
which the other two added SIS between them
The trial came off in an field halfa mile below
Rockets, and was witnessed BY dozen per
sons. The old fint-lock was fred seven times
and only once missed its aim. The old gem
tleman, after making two shots at small objects
to get his hand steady, as he said, banded his
son potato and stationed him at fifty yards
distance, holding the potato between his thumb
and fore-fnger. The rifle cracked and the po-
tato fell cloven in three or four peices. One
OF the larger peices was thrown in the air, the
marksman keeping at the same distance, and
again the shot told. An inch and a-half au-
ger was then produced, and a hole bored in
the fence, behind which was fastened piece
OF white paper. AT the distance of sixty yards
the marksman sent a ball through the aperture,
piercing the paper. At the fourth shot from
sixty yards distance the bowl of a pipe, which
the son was smoking was crushed. AT the
fifth shot copper cent was thrown into the
air and hit. The sixth and seventh shots were
delivered at a blacken ive-cent nickel piece
thrown up by the son, standing about thirty
yards off. AT the first attempt the shot miss
ed. The old gentleman showed considerable
modification; and laid the blame upon a by
s,ander, who, al the critical moment, sneezed
loudly. The next attempt, however, was
complete success. The old man declined any
further trials of his skill, and when offered
a sum of money to repeat his first feat of
shooting potato from his sons hand, he re-
fused, saying he did not care to try such ex-
periments unless his weapon was freshly clean
ed. The exhibition was the more remarkable
from the fact that the marksman was an old
man, at least Fifty. His eyes, however, is
clear, bright gray. His appearance is that of
a poor farmer. The young man show ed not
the least tremor or anxiety during the dan
gerous experiment upon himself. The old
man, referring TO his son, said, "Bob can
shoot just as we'll as can ."-Richmond WIG.

LADY JANE FRANKLIN. The death in Lon
don, on Sunday night, of Lady Jane Frank
lin, wife Of Sir John Franklin has already
been announced. This lady, who is known
so we'll TO the world by her lifelong devotion
to her husband, in his life and after his DEATH
was the daughter of John Griffin, Esq. and
was born about 1905. She was married TO
Sir John Franklin in 1924, that being his
second marriage. Ten years later, on his ap-
pontment to the Governship of Van Demen's
Land, she sailed with him to that distant colo
ny. In l845 her husband departed on his
third polar expedition, and when three years
later the long absence of the Erebus and Ter
ror excited grave apprehensions as 10 the safe
ty of the expedition, Lady Franklin offered
large rewards to stimulate search for her hus-
bands party. The next year she touchingly
appealed to the people of this country to-coop-
crate in the search, and the Grinnell expedl-
ton was the result. Lady Franklin herself,
at her private expense, fitted out an expedi-
ton in 1850 TO assist those sent by the gov
eminent, and one or two IN later years Her
heart and soul were involved in this search,
and hope never died in her breast till 1857.
Capt. McClintock, commander of the Fox,
one of the vessels fitted out by Lady
Franklin, brought back proofs that Sir
John and his party had doubtless per-
ished ten years previously, though not before
realizing their ambition, the discovery of the
northwest passage. The House of Commons
voted e., 900 for statue of Sir John, and the
Royal Geographical Society conferred upon
Lady Franklin the honorable distinction of
the founders gold medal.
