upon the people of Cecil county, and par
ticularly those residing in the Sixth dis

The list of names of those persons, who

furthermore, that none of them onn prep

the case, the residents of the town are sub.
jected to the appearance and credited with
keeping up two rum shops as vic as can be
found in any respectable community. They,
are, also, subjected to becoming the wit

drunken rowdies, that are disgusting to
refined tastes, as well as an insult to tho

NORTH EAST, July 10th, 1877.
MIR. EDIToR:-ln your issue of week be-
fore last saw an article from this place
over the signature Consistency" which
struck me as being true iii the main, but
at the same time doing injustice to the pas
tors in this place.
The sentiments of one of the pastors here
land perhaps of BOTH is we'll known to be
against raising money for church purposes
by such means as those alluded TO by "Con-
sistencY," bat what can be doneo | was
in the church on a Sabbath morning, some
time ago, when a large congregation was
present, and an effort was made to raise a
sum sufficient to meet the expenses of the
Sunday School. ldop't remember the sum
asked fer. but il was under one hundred
dollars. All the rich men of the congrega-
ton were present but one, believe. The
pastor subscribed ten dollars towards rails
ing the amount, and though quite an effort
was made, there was not another suLsorip-
ton more than two aaiags. and the whole
amount raised didn't exceed forty dollars.
What ia tc be done in such case? Evil
IDENTIFY one man cannot be expected to meet
all the bills of the school, and it is equally
clear that those who are able to do SO are
unWiiinS. ana IL seems tG 40 shat the
pastors should not - uiaaaed for consenting
to q festival, especially when they give per-
sonal supervision and do their best to pre-
vent whatever is improper and enseemly
And l think it is doing tham an injustice
to hold thea responsible for the conduct of
fast girls, WHO every where make their i'll
breeding conspicuous and court their own
shame, as all, except their natural guar
dams, Gan SEQ, or Ior the doiugs Of drunken
roughs.
While there is but little doubt that such
things ought not to be held under the sane
ton of the church, yet the pastors ought
not to be blamed too strongly anil the cir
cumstances of the paso are understood
DOUBT il Consistency" has done much
toward making the holding of festivals I'M
necessary in this town. INCONSISTENCY.

a few.
Farmers are busily engaged in harvesting
the largest crops raised here for many years
l cannot report any very extended i'm

Gray has erected snug dwelling. The
County Commissioners are preparing to
erect a large bridge over basin run, between

the oldest son of Thos. Gray, on Monday

cause of the injury was heavy stump fall
ing ON the boys body.

Mr.. EDIToR:-For the last two or three
years, in various parts Of our country, the
centennial anniversaries of the great events
of our Revolutionary history have been cele-
brated with much interest and advantage
to all who sincerely desire the peace and
prosperity of our national union.
In 1873 the Boston Tea Party was cele-
brated; in 1915 the battles of Lexington,
Concord and Bunker Hill; and last year the
declaration of our national independence at
Philadelphia, and the battles Of Trenton
and Princeton in New Jersey.
This year 1877 is also the centennial of
great events, including the landing of
Howe's army, the battles of Brandywine,
Germantown and Saratoga. The landing
of Howes' army took place on the Goth of
August, lit, at Elk Ferry and Cecil Court
House. and it is the most important event
of the Revolutionary war that occurred
within the limits of Cecil county.
Would it not be well to commemorate
this most important period by celebra-
ton at those localities, on Saturday, the
25th day of August of this year? The
ruins of the old Ferry house are still found
on the shore of Elk River, on the property
of the late Henry Percy, and Court House
Point is nearly opposite. The locality is
an interesting one, and can be readily
reached by steamboats, from Baltimore,
Elkton, Chesapeake City and other places.
The celebration could be made both inter-
esting and profitable by historical sketch
of the events of that period, addresses,
etc, embracing especially facts of local in
terest.
Why should Maryland be so far behind
New England, Pennsy lvania and New Jer-
sey in keeping alive her love for the union,
by awakening an interest in these import
ant events in her local as well as national
history?
This matter was lately referred to in an
address delivered, On the 4th of July, at
Persons grove by James T. Mccullough,
Esq. l hope you may be disposed to favor
the movement, aud that the celebration
may take place in the manner l have pro-
posed.

There is plenty to eat in Elkton, if you
only have the money to buy it. We noticed
the arrival this week, at the establishment

sions, go to Wells.

Mrs. M. M. Mahan, postmistress at this

Mr.. VIM. Campbell made narrow
escape at the FELTON, House crossing, one

just stopped at the depot. The train hav-
ing ran little too far ahead, however,
began to back while Mr.. C.'s carriage was
upon the track. By whipping up his horse
he managed to make narrow escape, the
train striking the hind wheel of his vehicle.
No damage was done.
Of course every one notices the great
difference in the temperature of June and
July compared with last year, when it was
excessively hot, with very little rain and
scarcely any breeze. The long spell of
extreme heat began last year, soon after
the sun reached its highest declination.
Here are the figures of the highest reach of
the mercury as recorded at the signal ser

with the laws of justice and right?
To-day there are not six drinking men
residing i'll the town; and yet Oh every hoii-
day and on every Saturday evening the very
atmosphere is made hideous with curses
and wranglings of drunken men and boys
from the surrounding neighborhood.
Could those persons, who willfully make
our town such us it is, be compelled to re-
side therein and become witnesses (as they
now are parties to the rowdyisms carried
on there, we feel assured that they would
be brought to see the matter in it's true
light, and become impressed with the fact
of the burden and nuisance they are fore
ing upon the citizens. And eventually we
should have the quiet and order in our vii
lage that is so much desired by its people.

THE SCHOOL BoARD.-The meeting of
this Board, advertised for Tuesday last,
did not take place, on account of the alb
sence of Messrs. Squiers and Everist. Mr..
England was present and received num-

school houses advertised. He however did
not open them. This will be done at the

NARROW ESCAPE.
J. W. Hambleton. while moving his new
steam thresher from his barn to neigh
boris, on it's first trip, and, in going down
q short hill the oxen, with which he was
hauling it with, became unmanageable by
the hold back breaking, letting the machine
run on them, and being on siding ground
the whole business capsized, Mr.. II. mar.
rowly escaping being caught under it. The
smoke stack was broken off and otherwise
injured, neoessitating a delay of three or
four days getting it fixed up. He has,
however, got it in shape again, and only
for the dull, wet weather, the shrek of the
whistle might be the means of calling some
of the folks about the Brick to their break
fast.
THE HEAVIEST RAINS
we have seen in this vicinity fell on last
Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday
for about twenty minutes it seemed as
though the very windows of heaven were
opened, the rain coming down in torrents,
washing fields and roads very badly. The
oats are leveled to the ground and will
rise again, which will make much
more work than it would have otherwise
done. We ought to feel thankful that our
houses and barns are standing and that we
have not been thrown upon the charity of
others, as have been our friends and neigh
bors in our neighboring county of Chester
