REFUSED THEIR MINISTER The
good Mcthodists of Elkton were desir.
GUS OF having Rev. d. 9. Ridgeway
minister unto them next year, and so
petitioned Conference. But that body
in it's wisdom, denied their request,
and gave them Rev. Geo. A. Phoebus,
very able and learned divine. But
the Elkton Methodists, so 1t is said,
declared they wouldn't have Mr..
Phoebus--if they couldn't have Mr..
Ridgeway they wouldn't have any
body. MIR. Phoebus and Bishop James
are fixing the matter UP.

DEFEATED BILLs.-It will be seen
by reference to our legislative reports
that the bill "for the promotion of in
ternal improvements in this State'
known as the State aid bill, was de-
feated by very decisive vote in the
Senate on Thursday. This result will
be deplored by many interested in
further developing the two lower coun.
ties by means of railroads, but qohen
they come to reflect that tile aid qcas fo,.
companies that hage as yet no existence
except on paper, tile qoisdom of the Leois.
tatsge action sesW be more apparent. If
these companies had any actual exist
ence, or organizations, and had raised
money and been engaged in building
these roads, their application might
have met with less opposition. As it
was, it was like asking the State to
cast its aid upon the turbid waters of
speculation in faith that after many
days great public benefit would result
ttherefrom. The proposed new liquor
law. which for time threatened to su-
percede the law of 1873, also failed to
pass. Its trouble was that the liuuor
dealers could not be satisfied with GER
tain notifications of the present law ::
they demanded what they called lib
eral license bill-which meant liberty
to sell without much restriction. They
asked TOO much and got nothing.

grand fair in Institute Hall, on Wed.
nesday, 31st inst, The fair; will last
about two weeks and will be the grand.
est display seen in the Institute for
years. The articles already procured
for the tables are chosen with rare good
sense and taste and all of them useful
and serviceable in some business or oc.
cupation of daily life. In times like
these housekeepers must be econonif-
cal and practical anu have vlry iit.,e
to spend on toys or notions. The arti-
cles for the fair are practical and at the
