Glen Rock.
ED. Barrow delivered two discours-
es on baptism last sabbath at the Glen
Rock school house, which was intend
ed to answer sermon preached 10y
Rev. Austin few weeks before. But
the Elder proved by the New Testa-
meEt that the mode was immersion
according to the Bible by bringing a
good many proper names in the New
Testament, with the meaning or sig
MITIGATION of the words in their origi-
nal language; but we failed to find
one statement he made concerning
Paul at the river side where Lydia was
baptized. Paul may have immersed
her. but, does the Bible say so? We
do not wish to dispute with the Elder
bat will say like the Indian to the
missionery, we have the wrong book,
that is, If the Bible says that Paul did
baptize her. And here another idea
presents itself to US in regard to the
conversion of Lydia and the jailer,
both of which he spoke of in his dis
course. We believe in a man being
soundly converted, and we have here
examples in Lydia and the jailer.-
Lydia was sinful woman and God
opened her eyes and melted her heart
kindly and brought her to a taste of
his goodness here and glory hereafter,
and the jailer was an outrageous re-
bellious man, for when the apostles
were committed to prison he laid them
In the stocks, DC, which we will not
quote here. Now, in conclusion give
US q christian that God doth please to
work upon in this extraordinary man
ner and TO break his heart soundly,
and to throw him down to purpose
though it cost him full dear; this man
walks ordinarily with more care and
conscience, and hath more comfort
coming TO himself, and gives more
glory unto God. Pity for the poor ig-
norent class that they are not good
Greek scholars, then they might un-
derstand that it was not necessary to
be converted before baptism.
The late showers OF rain came in
time for spring grain. Wheat, barley
and oats was beginning to suffer some
what.
Lively times around Glen Rock
since the election; keeps j. Gill busy
waiting on his customers, and you can
purchase every class of merchandise
kept by him for less money than any
ether house in Glen Rock.
- The official vote is before US, and
we were somewhat disappointed with
the result, particularly the way some
of the precincts voted. One thing
strikes US very sensibly and that is
Sheridan carried Brownville precinct
clear-except S28 votes.
On the day of election J. Tobin
was arrested for assault and battery,
one BeZie, a Frenchman, suing out
the information before. p. Berger
Tobin plead guilty, paid his fine and
was discharged. Then j. TObin files
his information against Bezie and had
him arrested for an assault and bat
terry before the same justice. Upon
the examination it was found that
Bezie was guilty, whereupon his at
torney A. Clair sets up the plea that
defendent had the right TO make the
attack as he was Oh mis- own premises,
for which he agreed TO show clause
in our statutes, upon which the court
was adjourned one day to give the at
torney time to find the law; the final
result OF which we have not learned
yet.

that part seems to be lacking in his
house.
