LITTLE CHoPTAEK FIsH.-Twenty years ago
the two rivers, the Great and the Little Chop
tank, were equally celebrated for the splendid
fish caught in their waters, and whilst the fish
in the Great Choptank are now as plentiful as
they were then, they have almost entirely de-
serted the Little Ghoptank, and the opinion is
gradually gaining ground that it is mostly ow-
ing to the large focks of ducks raised on this
river and its tributaries. These ducks gobble
up millions of young fish annually before they
leave the creeks and riyulets in which they are
spawned. 80 Cambridge Nesos.

Arm.trong,s ,s chapel.


On Sunday afternoon last, as opportunity
offered, ! visited the Mission Chapel at Arm
strong'sand listened to the interesting exercises
of the Sunday School. Our people are all
familiar with the origin Of the movement
which eliminated in the erection of the chapel
and know something Of the steady progress Of
the school, but as but little has been said of
it for few years past, perhaps it would not
be uninteresting to many of the friends of the
cause to lay before them little account of the
condition Of the chapel and school at this time.
Within the last month the managers have
spent about $l25 in repairing and repainting
the chapel; ornamental scroll work has been
placed around the caves, relieving the excessive
plainness of the building and greatly improv-
ing its appearance. A tasty vestibule has been
placed over the front entrance which is not
only great convenience, but also protection
to the room, which has heretofore been too
much exposed to the weather whenever the
doors were opened. The audience room will
seat about l5o persons and is provided with
settees Of patent slat seats and reversible backs
which are exceedingly convenient for class
purposes.
These improvements and the excellent man
ner in which the building, grounds and fences
are kept indicate the interest felt by these peo-
pie in their little church and their appreciation
of the privileges and blessings Of the gospel.
On Sunday afternoon Prof Jones, formerly
Principal Of the Middletown Academy, visited
the school and, on the invitation OF the Super
intendent, Mr.. D. L. Dunning, took charge Of
the exercises, and gave the school an interest,"
ing address on the travels Of the Apostle Paul
in wishing the pristine churches in Asia. The
Professor delivered his address in plain, simple
language which the youngest children could
understand and comprehend and they showed
their appreciation Of it BY giving him the
strictest attention and manifesting a great in
terest in the whole address The Professor is
an adept in Sunday school work.
Too much credit cannot be given Mr.. Dun
ming and his corps of assistants for their de-
voted labors in the cause of the Master at this
place. Surely there must be reserved for them
brilliant reward in the world beyond the
skies. x.

A number of earnest Temperance workers Of
Middletown went down to Townsend on We'd
nesday evening and held Gospel Temperance
meeting in the NJ. E. Church at that place.
The church was crowded, and the utmost in
terest was manifested in the proceedings. The
services were conducted by Rev T. E. Martin
dale of Middletown, whose whole soul seems
to be enlisted in this cause, and at their close
the pledge was presented and forty-eight per
sons came forward and signed their names to
it, thus declaring their intention to hereafter
do without the coup that stingeth like an

The Peaches.

The peach business for this year is drawing
to close. The shipments have greatly fallen
of and scarcely anything remains now to be
shipped but Smocks and few other equally
late varieties. Next week will nearly wind up
the business. On the whole it has been pretty
good season and those who were fortunate
enough to have good crops have had a right
good thing. The prices have, as a general
thing, been fair, and while no such big for
tunes have been reaped as were brought BY
peaches some years ago, still the growers are
as general thing-that is those who had
peaches-very well satisfied. The end will
prove probably, that the crop has not been as
big as it was estimated for nearly everyone's
crop has fallen short of his calculations.
