Opening Of The OsntsnniaI Exhibition

"Wednesday next, the 10th inst. is the
day appointed for the formal opening of
the Centennial Exhibition, at Philadel-
phia. The arrangements heretofore an
nounced win, no doubt, be faithfully car
ried out. The President and Congress
win be in attendance, and many visitors
from abroad The ceremonies on the oc-
casion will be quite imposing, but the
number Of people 10 attendance will hardly
equal the vast concourse expected 70 be
present on the 4th of July, the nations
great anniversary. Philadelphia viii be
the centre Of attraction for the next six
months, aud every American citizen who
can do 50, win make a pilgrimage to the
birthplace Of our national Independence
before the Autumnal closing Of the great
international Exhibition, which is expect
ed to exceed anything Of the kind hereto
fore witnessed in any country.

National Reform.

Letfthe mantle of Grant fall upon Blaine,
Bristow, Morton, Conkling, or whomso-
ever it may, it will still be the mantle Of
Grant, and only covering for Grantism.
The country cannot afford another term
of Grantism, if it would put stop to the
plundering, peculation and robbery, the
unparalleled and unheard-uf political vii
lainy and corruption, that have made us,
as nation, in this the hundredth year of
our existence as government, byword
and reproach throughout the civilized
world. The Republican party has dis
graced us as people, in the eyes of the
whole world, and we are looked upon as a
nation of thieves and robbers We must
inaugurate, by means of the ballot CON-
plete revolution, change the Administra-
ton, and purge the high places Of the land,
as well as the low, of every vestigc of
Grantism, and discard from official posi-
ton all who have received its faint. Moth
ing short Of this will restore the public
service to sound, honest and healthful
administration. Nothing short of this
will satisfy the popular demand for thor
ough, complete, and radical change, in
every branch of the Government. From
the President, down to the lowest tide
waiter, all must feel the bosom of reform,
and give place to purer and better men.
The people demand change. REFORM
is the rallying cry of the Democracy, and
it will prove the slogan Of victory from the
Atlantic to the Pacific; from the Rio
Grande to Maine.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

HlsToKy oR Holy TRIxlfY Ann ST.. BARxAnAs
CHURcHEs. Rev. Robert Piggot, Pastor OF
Holy Trinity Parish, Carroll County, Md. de-
liyered historical sermon on the s0th Of
January, at Sykesville, and on the 9TH Of
April at st. Barnabas, in aid Of a permanent
fund for educational purposes, and for the
building Of an Academy both for primary,
classical and scientific instruction, at the
village of Sykesyille, on Rectory hill There
are two churches in the parish, within four
miles Of each other, one at Sykesyille and
the other at Eldersburg, Holy Trinity, on
the Liberty Pike, in this county. This last
named church is now in the first decade Of its
second century. The ground on which il
stands, was conveyed BY "John Welsh, of
Baltimore county and Province Of MARYLAND,
Gentleman, in deed Of gifi TO Abel Brown,
Robert Lewis, Edward Dorsey and John
Elder Planters, for the purpose Of building
thereon Chapel of Ease for the benefit OF
Delaware Hundred This conveyance was
made Sth day Of March, A. d. I'LL, one
hundred and FIVE years ago on tho 9Th Of
March 1876. From Miss Susanna Warfeld,
the venerated senior communicate ofthe Par.
ish, DR.. Piggot CLEANED few facts in rela
ton TO the history of the church at that place.

limits Of the Parish Of st. Thomas. During
the Revolutionary war il was deserted by the
ministry, and stood for long time in rath.
er dilapidated condition, But in 1912, at
the suggestion of Bishop Nottingham, 1t was
rcfitted by the ladies Of the neighborhood.
AT the Diocesan Convention of 1913, peti,
ton was presented for the formation Of a
new Parish under the title of Holy Trinity
Parish, in Carroll and Baltimore counties, Of
which the chapel should become the Parish
church. On the Slst Of October following,
the Bishop was petitioned to eonsecrate the
renovated chapel as the Parish church. The
petitioners were Jesse Hollingsworth and

W. Manro, Nestrymen, and Washington l..
Bromley Register. Rev. ID. Hillhouse Buel
was the Rector, who resigned Nov. LIST, ls47
During Mr.. Bnel's rectorship he held services
at Lisbon, in Howard county, and when the
church at Westminster was erected, that was
also taken into connexion. giving him labor
in all three neighborhoods. At vestry
meeting held on the 9th of July, 1877, Messrs.
James Sykes, Charles W. Hood, and VIM.
II, Warheld, were appointed building COM
mittee, to proceed in the erection of chapel
at Sykesville. The corner stone was laid
June 18th, 1850, st. Barnabas day, by Bishop
Nottingham, and named after st. Barnabas.
1t was finished and consecrated in December
1851. Rev. Thomas J. Wyatt was their first
Rector.
The sermon abounds in historic facts OF
much interest to those living in the vicinity
of these churches. We understand it is the
intention to publish it in pamphlet form for
the benefit Of the new enterprise started by
DIR. Piggot, which commends itself to the
generosity of church members in the Diocese
generally.
