KINGSVILLE.

Ed. Tei.-The strawberry and ice-cream festival
and fair in the park, Friday evening" the 18th, on
account of the rain was transferred to the High
School building. The company was more numer-
ous than was expected-even quite a company
came from your village. Some OF the committees
for the supply Of refreshments were absent, and
the eommissary, it was feared, would be failure.
As good luck would have it, victory was snatched
from the jaws Of defeat and success followed from
other sources. Mr.. E. NJ. Curtis and lady gave
essential aid. The halfdozen or 80 ladies who
took charge Of arrangements oftables and re-
freshments, are deserving Of much praise. The
ice-cream and strawberries were abundant for the
emergency. The receipts Of the occasion-S50-
show that the thing was far from failure. The
result, under such untoward circumstances, is q
source Of qualification to all.
On Sunday, the Rev. Mr.. Jones, of the Cleve-
land Seamen's Bethel, spent the day among our
churches. He is an earnest and effe ctual laborer
among that rather neglected class-the seamen.
The congregations OF each OF the churches had an
opportunity TO contribute to the work that is be-
ing done. Gracehas done much for this servant
OF the Lord, as his history will show. His labors
in connection with the Bethel and Home for the
Friendless, run through some seven or eight
years. The appeals made here, were responded to
generously.
Our N. Kingsville neighbors had a festival on
Thursday evening Of last week. The unfavorable
weather led to q postponement to Friday even.
ing, which was scarcely any better, and the sue
cess was not as complete ss was desired. The
object Of the festival was to raise the means for
renting accommodations for Sabbath school.
While some complain that they are kept al
home by the young ons," others charge It, about
these days, to ''onions" @.

ROCK CREEK.

Friday last was the first anniversary Of the or
ganization of the Disciple. church. under the pas
torate Of the Rev. Mr.. Bartlett. Feeling desire
to observe the occasion, sort Of reunion was
had of the friends, who, we understand, gathered
in the afternoon and evening to the number Of
some seventy persons, and the time was spent
very pleasantly in the enjoyme Mt Of social inter
course, and those other enjoym ents which are the
base and bottom Of every other good cheer for the
body. The church has enjoyed prosperity that
was hardly anticipated at the beginning, and
shows what earnest, faithful effort will sometimes
accomplish without apparent means.
F o. A. Dolph-Photog rapher-has given up his
thought OF becoming resident Of As htabula. He
has determined to remain at Rock Creek, and as
an earnest of that determination has laid the
foundation of a building, adjoining Rathbone's
store, for carrying on his business, and at the
same time provide himself with comfortable
residence Dolph's energies are equal to any
emergency, and he has been enabled to build up q
paying business st the Creek, notwith standing he
was greeted upon the start with an earnest COM
petition. Beside energy and application, Dolph
has the quality OF frst-class photographer.
The frame OF Homer Clark's new warehouse al

ed for at least comfortable living.
