SABBATH SCHOOL JUBILEE-Never 4
more suspicious day dawned on which to
hold such meeting rs the above than
Wednesday last, the time announced for
holding the Sabbath School Jubilee ON
Cecil Circuit, NJ. p. Church, at Bay View.
Had all others done their part as well as
Dame Nature, the affair would have been
grand success.
At or about 10 clock, four of the schools,
with their flags and banners flung to the
breeze, headed by their respective superin-
tendents viz: Harmony Reese p. Mellow
ell; New Leeds, Coviugton Wood; Bay
View, John Astle; Bethel, Charles A.
Stewart, assembled in the beautiful grove,
and the opening chorus, ''Toiling On"
was then announced and very creditably
sung by the schools in concert. Prayer
was then offered by Rev. J. NJ. Yingling.
This was followed by a short, yet appro-
pirate, Introductory address by member
of Harmony school. After singing another
anthem, the meeting adjourned till u
o'clock p. NJ.
The afternoon was chiefly spent in sing
ing selections by the four schools alter
nately, each school being entitled to appear
twice on the stand, and fifteen minutes
each time. The whole exercises were of a
very interesting and entertaining charac-
ter, and, without giving any school special
notice, we may say that they reflected de-
served credit on the circuit, showing de-
cided progression in this particular branch
of church labor. This is the first attempt
at a joint gathering of the schools of the
circuit, and we believe, if properly man
aged, it would prove profitable to hereafter
repeat the movement.
The attendance was large, the number
perhaps approximating one thousand per-
sons. Religious services are being held in
the same grove. Preaching three times a
day. Meeting will continue until Sunday
night.

FALSE IMrREssIoN.-It is generally sup
posed by certain class of citizens, who
are not practical or experienced, that Dys-
pepsia can not invariably be cured, but we
are pleased to say that GREENS AUGUST
FLOWER has never, to our knowledge, failed
to cure Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint in
all its forms, such as Sour Stomach, Cos
tiveness, Sick Headache, palpitation of the
Heart, low spirits, &c, &c. Out of 10000
dozen bottles sold last year, not single
failure was reported, but thousands of COM
plimentary letters received from Druggists
of wonderful cures. Three doses will relieve
any case. Try it. Sample bottles 10 cents.

A SUCCESSFUL TRAMP,

\ few days since large, rough, black
whiskered, bare-footed tramp visited our
town and persistently demanded pair of
shoes, but not meeting with success, passed
down to Perkinsville and called at the
house of Mr.. Howard Arison. Finding no
one present, he entered the premises, pill
LACED pair of boots, pocket book with
some seven dollars in it, and a basket of
grub. He then struck for the river shore,
where he helped himself to the good vict-
uals. Leaving the basket behind, he made
for the depot, and succeeded in escaping
before the theft was discovered.
THE WEATHER.
The rainy season has again given way to
that which is far more congenial with the
interest of the farmers. The oat harvest
has suffered somewhat for the want of clear
weather, which has again put in an appear
ance.
THE EXCURSION.
The long talked. of excursion came off on
Thursday last. The day proved beauti-
full one, and the parties were all aglee with
hopes and expectations of a gala day. The
boat left her moorings at 0 o'clock for that
ancient and most dilapidated town of
Annapolis.

medicine. Keller's Roman Lniment is a
Pain Destroyer in the most comprehensive
sense of the expression, banishing every
disease of a painful nature by its wonder

Its control over complaints of an inflam
matory nature or those attended with ex-

The Observer says, a singular death of
colored women took place near Sudlersville
on Tuesday night last. She retired in
good health, during the night was awak-
cncd by the noise of a snake in her sleeping
room. She got up and killed the snake,
but in handling the stick with which it
was killed she got some of the blood of the
snake in her eye. The eye soon intiamed
and sometime during the night she died, no
one knows how or when. Her death in
such singular and mysterious manner has
raised considerable inquiry in the neigh
borhood. Her family are of the Impress
ion that her death was caused by the blood
of the snake getting into her eye, and this
is doubtless the correct theory. We are
not informed what kind of snake it was,
but presume it was viper.

marched up and down Clinton, South

cheered and tried to induce the workmen
to join the strike and pass on. They ap-

arms. They attempted no violence.

THE STRIKE AND THE PEACH CROP
The Baltimore San, of Wednesday, says:
"The peach season now opening, it is
feared, will prove disastrous to many grow
ers. A thousand boxes of Hale's early
peaches came up from Chester river yester-
day, and they were consignments from other
points. There were sold for local consump-
ton. In ten days peaches for packing will
be plentiful, and if the strike lasts this
market will be glutted, unless the growers
allow their peaches to rot on the trees. If
the Western freight lines remain closed
another week it will involve the peach
growers of the Delaware and Chesapeake
peninsula in heavy losses. If the strike
reaches the New Jersey division of the
Pennsylvania road the consequences will
be still more serious"

TRAIN Thrown FROM TIE TRACK.
An express train which left New York
at P. NJ. on Tuesday, was thrown from
the track about three miles west of OSwego,
the mob having removed rail from the
track. All the cars left the track, but
fortunately no passengers were seriously
injured. There were between twenty and
thirty passengers. Two passengers and a
brakeman were injured, but slightly.

HORSE DIsEAsE.-A virulent disease has
broken ont among the horses in Delaware
county. 1t is an affection of the throat,
great swelling of the glands taking place
and the windpipe appearing to be affected,
the breath becoming very offensive. The
disease is rapid in it's development, death
of the animal frequently resulting six or
far, baffled the skill of the surgeons and
appears to be extending. David Galley lost
three fine horses from it about two weeks
ago, John Yarnall three, Samuel Galley one,
Mr.. Pyott one, and other farmers of New
town township have suffered from it. Mr..
D. Galley is of the opinion that his horses
contracted the disease in Philadelphia,
where he attends market.-Orford Press.

MILITARY sQuABBLEs IN TINE OF RIOT.

MILITARY sQUABBLES IN TINE OF RIOT.
In Reading Pa, on Tuesday Several
companies of the Fourth Regiment march
ed down Seventh street to Penn. Here
they met company of the Sixteenth Regi-
ment, and lively fight between the mill
tary seemed imminent. The crowd treated
the Easton Grayes to a shower of stones.
This company Immediately levelled their
pieces, when they were notified by the col
onel of the Sixteenth Regiment that no in
discriminate slaughter would be permitted.
This brought matters to halt. All the
troops then passed down Penn street to
Fifth street, followed by the mob, who
fairly threw insults in the teeth of the
soldiery. The Norristown company of the
Sixteenth Regiment allowed named subse-
quently stacked their arms and refused
absolutely to operate against the rioters.
Some of them threw their guns away and
distributed cartridges among the crowd.
The company left for home this evening,
as did all the militia engaged the previous
night.

AN HONEST DARKEy.-Some persons pre-
tend to believe that the age of honesty is
past, and that all men and women too are
dishonest. We are pleased to be able to
record at least one exception to this sweep
ing rule. On Monday last an aged colored
man tottered into the grocery store of Mr..
Geo. Witworth, on North street, bending
beneath the weight of bundle borne upon
his shoulders. He saluted the proprietor
with Buy rags, boss?" Being answered
in the affirmative, he deposited his burden
upon the floor and it was taken charge of
by the shop boy who proceeded to weigh
it. When this operation was ended the
boy threw the bundle upon the floor, at the
same time announcing its weight 81 pounds.
MIR. Witworth's attention was attracted by
the apparent solidity of the bundle when
it fell upon the floor. His suspicious being
aroused he proceed to interview the pack
age. Upon dissecting it, it proved to con-
sist of a solid lump of red clay, weighing
16 pounds, over which was placed the GOV.
ering of rags. The old man, like George
Washington, could not tell a lie, so he at

DEMORALIZED SOLDIERS.

Mr.. f. B. Godfrey, of Pittsburg, arrived
in New York, on Sunday, having left the
former city on Saturday night. Attached
to the train on which he travelled was a
darkened car in which he says were hud-
died about thirty members of the Black
Huzzar Regiment, of Philadelphia, who
had escaped from the round house. Many
were wounded. The train in passing
through the city slowed at every switch,
and soldiers who were in hiding jumped
on. These men wore their pantaloons in-
side out, and had thrown away everything
else except their shirts. They were in
great terror, Mr.. Godfrey says, expecting
the train would be stopped by rioters.-
One frightened soldier sat down by woman
and asked her to protect him. She threw
shawl over his head, and he crouched
down in corner. At Twenty eighth street
the train was stopped by the strikers.
Have you any of those Philadelphia men
aboard?" was asked. The conductor re-
piled in the negative. A gang of strikers
passed through the cars, but did not dis
cover the concealed soldiers. Reaching the
last car, which was dark and seemed de-
serted, they were told that there were few
wounded men therein. They did not at
tempt to enter.

A MEETING OF STRIKERS.

The Pennsylvania railroad strikers held
a meeting on Monday morning. at Harris
burg. and passed resolutions deprecating
violence; also asking the dismissal of Frank
Thomson, General Manager. A committee
was appointed to inform Superintendent
McCrea that they were willing to compro-
mise on honorable terms, and would use
every effort to protect the companys pro
perty. The mob forced an entrance into
Altemeir's gun store, on Second street, and
seized a quantity of firearms. Mayor Pat
terson addressed the crowd and induced
them to return a part of their plumber.

CHICAGO, July e6th.-The mob of last
night gathered in force on South Side this
morning and renewed its depredations and
acts of violence. They began with some
two thousand and the crowd swelled to a
multitude before noon. They showed saw
age bravado and seemed fearless of death
itself However, when some three hun
dred police, under Officer Rainy, charged
them they broke up after hot encounter.
They recruited again shortly and prepared
for another encounter at Sixteenth street
and Halstead street viaduct, when a inter-
change of shots and stones succeeded
The police, being reinforced, broke into
the mob with yell that was heard for
blocks away. Reinforcements, consisting
of a new squad of police and company
of armed cavalry, under Col. Agramont,
began, i'll conjunction with the police, a
deadly onslaught, the result of which is
imperfectly known and reported variously.
One report, which is probably exaggerated,
says twelve were killed and one hundred
and fifty wounded. Another, that three
were killed and fifty wounded. Certainly
more than three men were killed. At pres
ent no names can be learned. This broke
up the mob for time, but they soon gath
cred again. A gang of the mob ran pas

ment the mounted police and the regular

of the battle. The Governor this morning
applied for United States troops.
TIE MARYLAND NATIONAL GUARD.
Since it was determined, as a war mea-
sure, to put into active service State
militia force adequate to the emergency,
which the stinted appropriations of the
Legislature prevented before hand, the
State authorities have been untirings in
the COnsummation Of this end. Prudential
considerations influenced the authorities to
dismiss the Sixth Regiment. Irrespective
of that command it was decided to raise
the Fifth Regiment to 200 men, and Or
ganize, two other regiments of / 200 men.
each, which with the police force, 200
men, will give the State and city 1000 men
on active duty, and battery of light ar
tillery. OF course it will be a week or two
before the new regiments become thor
oughly organized and prepared for service.
In the meantime the Sixth Regiment will
keep up its organization and its armory
drills with tho view of service when called
upon.
