Last Sabbath was an occasion of very
great interest at the Cherry Hill NJ. E..
Church. A large number of persons, who
were converted last Winter, having served
out their term of probation, were received
into full membership. 1t was an interest
ing scene as some forty persons stood in
front of the chancel and took upon them
selves the solemn VOWS of the church.
Many family groups, nearly entire, thus
stood before the altar. One case was that
of a leading manufacturer standing with his
son and daughter-leading them, or they
leading him in full conservation to Christ
and His service. The Pastor, Rev. John
France, assisted by the official members of
the church, extended to them the right
hand of fellowship; after which all the
members were invited to come forward and
give the same welcome to the new con-
verts, and as they passed around, giving to
each a cordial Christian greeting, the fire
burned, and an old fashioned Methodist
shout went up to God, such as we seldom
hear in the churches of day. At the
close of the meeting, as the large congre-
CATION retired, they said one to another,
"Surely it was good for us to be there"

WILMA SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPPER wilma
Sunday School is a mission school connected
with the NJ. E. Church of Ekton, and is
under the management of Daniel Harvey,
Esq, and his daughters, Misses Mary and
Lydia Harvey. The school meets at wilma,
the property of DR.. Mackall, two miles
from town. On Thursday evening last,
they gave supper for the purpose of rails
ing funds wherewith to furnish the school,
The occasion was an exceedingly pleasant
one, quite large number of persons from
the surrounding country and town were
present, and with one accord gave them
selves up to the enjoyment of the hour
The grounds were lighted with Chinese
lanterns, hung amid the shrubbery, and all
the arrangements were excellent. Supper
was served at six P. NJ. on the back porch
of the residence. Our reporter pronounced
it excellent. The front porch was devoted
to the sale of refreshments. Financially it
was success, realizing nearly 800. We
couldn't get much out of our reporter ex-
cept Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Copenha-
gen; and he declares the next time he goes
to such place he will do nothing but play
Copenhagen. Probably those who attended
the entertainment may be able to account
for his alteration of mind.

THE HIGHWAY INSTRUCTED BY TRAMP
AS Mrs. Covington Wood and Miss Martha
Biddle were driving from Elkton to New
Leeds last Sunday evening, about ) o clock,
near MIR. Miller's run, known as "Gravelly
Run" hard-looking old tramp stationed
himself in the center of the road The
horse became unmanageable, refusing to
pass the figure. Mrs. Wood persisted in
urging the beast. She called to the man to
move, but there he stood, not moving a
muscle. Miss Biddle got out of the car
riage, and. went up to the sold fellow"
thinking he might be deaf, going within
an arms length, requested him to move,
saying, "our horse will not pass you"
Seeing that he made not an effort to move,
and knowing that Mrs. Wood, with three
children, had enough to do to keep the
horse in check and stifle their cries, Miss
Biddle proceeded back, and over large
field, in sight, was the farm house of Mr..
S. Miller. Her screams brought Mr.. NJ. to
the spot and her rescue. AS soon as Mr..
Miller, who was Immediately followed by
another gentleman, put in their appear
ance, the tramp moved. Mr.. NJ. inquired,
in an usual tone, if he was deaf. He re-
| piled, in a very insolent manner, that he
was not; and then Mr.. NJ. wanted to know
why he had acted in such a way. The old
man, uttering some insoience, was suffered

DEATH OF MISS MAGGIE CHAMBERS.

DEATH OF MISS MAGGIE CHAMBERS On
Saturday afternoon last, our community
was shocked by the intelligence OF the
death, on that morning, at the home of her
mother, No. 700 West Sixth street, Will
mington, Del, of Maggie, eldest daughter
of Mrs. Anna Chambers. Maggie was well
known by all our citizens and greatly be-
loved by large circle of friends in this
community. She was about twenty one
years of age, and, with the exception of
the last three years, resided all her life
among us. She was pleasing in personal
appearance, affable and winning in man
ners and universally favorite wherever
known. Her death was caused by typhoid
pneumonia, after an illness of four weeks,
borne patiently and without a murmur.
Her remains were brought to Elkton on
the P. NJ train, on Monday, and inferred
in the Presbyterian burying ground, beside
those of her father, the late Nicholas F.
Chambers. The death of this young lady
has brought sorrow to many a heart, and
the deepest and most sincere sympathy Is
felt by all for her bereaved mother. Verify
in the midst of life we are in death.

THE GREAT MENAGERIE CoMPANY-T The
Great Van Amburgh Menagerie Company,
which will exhibit here Monday, Septem Der
25th, may with truth be classed as one of
the features of the age; never before has
an exhibition, upon so extensive SCALE
been attempted. Its entree into town is a
sight of interest, and the gorgeous trap
pings and paraphernalia which decorate the
apparently nterminabe procession, will at
once strike the spectator with speculative
wonder as to how such an enormous ex-
pense can possibly be sustained, but when
accompanying the cavalcade they finally
arrive at the pavilion, which, tasty as in
genuity and science can devise, is neverthe-
less capable of accommodating the inhabit-
ants of a moderate sized city, the wonder
ceases. The character of The Great Van
Amburgh Menagerie Company is well
known, as for fifty six consecutive years it
has been the principal amusement enter
prise travelling. Independent of the most
magnificent collection of animals ever
brought together in a travelling exhibition,
there is also feature of no ordinary inter-
est in the trained lions, tigers, panthers
and leopards of the celebrated Professor
Soutar, which are also attached to the ZOO
logical department of this colossal show
Included among these are pair of superb
Royal Bengal Tigers, the largest and most
powerful ever brought from the .jungles of
the east. The above Incompatible estab-
llshment will exhibit at Elkton, Monday,
